Steelers' Aaron Rodgers right to be bullish after Seahawks loss? image

Life comes at you fast, and for Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, after the Week 1 win over the New York Jets, in which things rolled rather nicely, in Week 2, the 31-17 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks was a gentle reminder of the brutal nature of the league.

The offense would have just 267 total yards, go five of 15 on third down, and Rodgers would throw two interceptions in the loss.

That isn't a great outing, and there could be a reason to panic given how stark the performances were from Week 1 to Week 2, but for Rodgers, when asked if there is a source of frustration regarding how the offense is moving, he scoffed at the notion.

“It's week two, come on now,” Rodgers said. “It's good for us. Last week, probably there's some people who are feeling pretty good because everybody outside the building is talking about how great we were on offense and [scoring] 34 points. That's the league. You can't ride the highs or ride the lows. You got to refocus every single week and be a professional, and it starts with the practice and the preparation. So, we just get a chance to reset.

"Take a look what we did last week, what worked, what didn't work. From the preparation standpoint, do better next week.”

Is Rodgers right to remain bullish on offense?

In short, absolutely.

As he stated, it is only Week 2. Two games of football have been played. In one, the offense looked good, and in the other, it didn't.

Now it is about trying to close the gap between the best and worst performances, and that is the challenge leveled squarely at Aaron's feet this week, with the New England Patriots up next.

Things won't always go smoothly in the NFL, and often it is a rollercoaster of emotions, and through two weeks, the Steelers' fans have found that out.

But it is hardly the time to stress. And Rodgers knows it.
