Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.
After losing 27-24 in Seattle on Thursday night, the Packers (4-5-1) get a weekend off to try to heal up before their next game at Minnesota a week from Sunday.
We'll start with Tom Silverstein's analysis of a Packers offense that looked dysfunctional at times against the Seahawks:
Tom writes:
It is understandable for Rodgers to slam his fist into the turf because he was off a tick with his favorite receiver and instead of throwing a likely game-clinching touchdown he was sacked.
But it is mystifying to see him miss open receivers, fire easy completions past his target or into the dirt, scold young receivers for not executing plays correctly and then having the body language of someone resigned to his fate of being part of a mediocre offense.
None of it was a good look on Rodgers, McCarthy or the ability of the two of them to win games. And it was there not only for the public to see but for players on the sideline.
“If you can see it . . .,” one player said stopping in mid-sentence.
If Rodgers has a problem with McCarthy’s offense or the game-planning, it’s time for him to say so out loud. If there’s something bothering him about the way he’s being coached or the number of cooks in the kitchen, then it’s time for him to say something.

Pete Dougherty also is wondering exactly what is wrong with Rodgers:
With an exception here and there, Rodgers looks like he’s enduring games, not reveling in the competition. https://t.co/tcZleaRkdD

Tom and Pete discuss why coach Mike McCarthy got so conservative in the second half:
Something about CenturyLink Field causes Mike McCarthy to go conservative. https://t.co/t9a3qfbqn2

The Packers' weary defense was unable to bail out McCarthy in the end:
