Chapter 1125 Ambition
If he could start his life over again, Rogers would be willing to temporarily put aside his pride and show a different look in the fourth quarter to compete for victory.
However, the worst part of reality is here, life is not a game, you cannot load the game and start over.
So.
They are stuck here, a defeat, a frustrated and angry, shameful and ugly defeat.
For others, this is just a loss. There is no need to make a fuss. The Green Bay Packers have missed the playoffs for two consecutive years. Even having Rodgers is of no help. They have been squeezed out of the highly competitive NFC North. They have missed the playoffs for two consecutive years. No stranger to bad situations like losing games.
Now, the Green Bay Packers' season record is still seven wins and one loss -
It's not the end of the world.
Moreover, this is just a regular season game, the real key should be the playoffs.
But for Rogers, it's more than that.
He is the leader of the Mesozoic generation. He is the youngest player among the four elite quarterbacks. He is known as the chosen son born for quarterbacks. He is considered to be the heir to the league's dominance after Brady and Brees retire. , his existence is a nightmare that the other 31 teams must be wary of.
From all aspects, he should be the number one player in the league: the annual salary level also proves this.
Unlike Prescott and Cousins, those quarterbacks who are just getting by in the middle of the league but can still earn high salaries, Rodgers is truly the number one player in the league, with a salary that matches his abilities.
However, after the 2010 season, the Green Bay Packers have never been able to advance to the Super Bowl.
In the 2014 and 2016 seasons, he failed twice in the federation finals. The number one player who was supposed to take over the league was unable to deliver a satisfactory answer.
In the eyes of Rogers, who thinks highly of himself, this is a shame, a complete shame.
He has been holding his breath, especially since McCarthy left this season. The only core of the team is him, and he deserves to be the focus.
His goal is the Super Bowl championship, but it is not just the Super Bowl, but also a strong, perfect, and impeccable season.
The game against the Kansas Chiefs, in Rogers’ view, is a game with no retreat, a game that must be won, a game that declares his presence and right to belong— —
Be it Levi or Mahomes, their momentum is rising steadily and they have become the leaders of the league. Seeing that the NFL is about to directly retire the Mesozoic players, it is full of firepower. Paying attention to the younger generation, Levi even went one step further away from the title of the league's number one player.
GOAT?
A joke, a complete joke.
Rogers needs to beat them and needs to make his voice heard.
However, what is the result?
Not only lost, but also lost to the Kansas Chiefs without Mahomes, and lost to the Kansas Chiefs supported by Levi alone.
This...is unacceptable.
In this way, not only will his status in the league suffer a further blow, but his status in the team will also be challenged -
Gutekunst has been trying to control him, Trying to make him "part of the team," gathering his personality and brilliance, joining the ranks of mediocrity, and convincing him that this is the best way for the team to win.
But in his opinion, these are all bullshit. The team still needs to rely on him to win in the end, right?
If things go on like this, Green Bay fans may also be brainwashed by Gutekunst and then target him.
This is disastrous.
Perhaps, this is just a regular season game that has no decisive impact on the playoffs; but for Rogers, it was a devastating blow.
He needs to beat Levi, he needs to beat Mahomes and the Kansas Chiefs, he needs to win the Super Bowl again -
Even a rookie like Levi who knows nothing He actually has two championship rings, more than him. This is unacceptable.
Over the years, Rodgers has never been able to return to the Super Bowl stage and has been criticized and criticized. He has missed the playoffs in the past two seasons and has fallen into a career low, but nothing can compare to this year.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Green Bay Packers' last Super Bowl championship. The team has a new head coach, Rodgers has no injuries, and the team's offensive and defensive lineups are relatively complete. Reese and Brady are getting older, and the league is entering an important turning point in the replacement of old and new players.
Everything is implying that this is the opportunity, this is the gap, the opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back.
Them - no, he had to seize the opportunity.
If Rogers still cannot lead the team to the Super Bowl this season...
No, not acceptable.
As a result, the game against the Kansas Chiefs started unexpectedly and ended unexpectedly. The Green Bay Packers still lost the game.
An unprecedented sense of crisis gripped Rogers' heart, making him unable to breathe. It even overshadowed the shame and anger, and his whole body became tense.
Outside the locker room, Gutekunst is showing his authority.
“We should unite, we should be united, this matter stays here, you know it and I know it, I don’t want other ears to hear this matter.”

Adams looked left and right: There are so many ears, can you count them?
Then, the door to the locker room opened, and Rogers was finally willing to show his face. He stuck out his head and glanced at Gutekunst.
"Go in. We have to prepare for the press conference."
Everyone looked at Gutekunst and then at Rogers, but there was no reaction.
Gutkunst's breath got stuck in his throat, but he who knows the current situation is a wise man.
Gutekunst waved his hand, and all the Green Bay Packers players entered the locker room.
Rogers stood there and looked at Gutekunst coldly. Although the two people did not break up, the atmosphere was obviously tense.
Until Lafleur appeared.
Although Lafleur only joined the team this season, surprisingly, he is a man recognized by both Gutekunst and Rogers, and has become the most stable link in this triangle relationship——
In the final analysis, both Gutekunst and Rodgers are fighting for the right to speak and the initiative, while Lafleur, who is the head coach for the first time in his career, has temporarily restrained his edge, which allows him to successfully occupy a favorable position in the power struggle in the locker room.
Lafleur, "What's wrong?"
Gutekunst and Rogers both looked away, and the atmosphere eased slightly.
Gutekunst let out a long breath, "We need to go to the press conference. The press conference room is empty now, this is an away game, and the rumors may have gone out."
Raff. Le nodded, "Understood, we'll go out right away."
With a crisp answer, Gutekunst breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the press conference room. He needed to stabilize the situation first——
Find an excuse.
How about... let’s just say that there was serious water accumulation in the locker room of the visiting team of the Kansas Chiefs. Many Green Bay Packers players almost fell, which delayed the press conference.
Ha! Killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, can not only divert attention, but also secretly cheat the Kansas Chiefs, preventing them from enjoying the joy of victory.
Gutekunst thinks this is a good idea.
