GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers ended his postgame news conference after Sunday nights loss at Washington by saying he is very optimistic the Green Bay Packers can still turn their season around.No one asked him why until three days later.When presented with the natural, albeit delayed, follow-up question on Wednesday, Rodgers took it a step -- or six -- further.I feel like we can run the table, I really do, Rodgers said. The offense is starting to click a little bit more; weve just got to put together a game where were more consistent from the first snap to the last. Weve been, I think, getting closer to that. Weve really been clicking, at times, in the last few games.But its going to be important that we get going early. We had three three-and-outs to start the [Redskins] game, but overall on the season, weve done a better job of limiting our three-and-outs; weve been sustaining drives pretty well.At 4-6 with six games remaining, the Packers stand two games out of first place in the NFC North, behind co-leaders Detroit and Minnesota. The Lions and Vikings?match up on Thanksgiving, so even if the Packers end their four-game losing streak with a win on Monday night at Philadelphia, they would still be two games behind the division leader.Rodgers learned Wednesday that he wont get back?Eddie Lacy; the running back?will remain on the injured reserve list for the remainder of the season.But Rodgers praised the addition of running back Christine Michael, who was claimed off waivers from Seattle last week, and the return of tight end Jared Cook, who had six catches for 105 and a touchdown against the Redskins after missing six games because of a sprained right ankle.You just feel like it just takes one, Rodgers said. We get one under our belts, things might start rolling for us and we can run the table.Receiver Jordy Nelson likened this season to 2010, when the Packers were 8-6 with two weeks remainning and in danger of missing the playoffs and there was heat on coach Mike McCarthy.ddddddddddddThat season, they won their last two games and went on to win the Super Bowl.Nelson said Rodgers comments were more than just locker room rah-rah chatter.I think everyone in here probably believes that, to be honest, Nelson said. Thats how we started the year. I dont think Ive ever been part of a team here where we went into a game thinking theres no way were going to win this game -- even if our backs are against the wall. If you look at the year we won the Super Bowl and people were counting us out and, honestly, [people] were wanting to fire Mike back then when we lost at Detroit and went to New England and we lost and had to win out to make the playoffs. Every playoff game weve been in, every regular-season game weve been in, we thought we were going to win.I think thats just how confident we are. I think the things weve done in the past allow us to be that confident. We just have to go out and do it on the field.The problem, however, might not be on Nelson and Rodgers side of the ball. The Green Bay defense has allowed 40-plus points in each of the past two games.Still, Rodgers said its incumbent upon him to make sure he plays at a really high level and do what Ive always done and be a little bit better every time Im out there.I know a lot is going to be on our shoulders, especially the way were starting games out, Rodgers said. We have to start faster, I have to be sharper from the start and I will be. And Im confident that if we can get this thing started out a little better each week that we can get on that roll and be tough to stop.Now we have to go out and do it. Its just idle words right now, but Im confident in our guys and Im confident well respond on Monday. ' ' '
