Inconsistency Plagues Packers: Green Bay Falls to Carolina 35-31

I don't know about my fellow fans, but every time I look at the Packers I always get the feeling of the lights are on yet nobody is home. Green Bay came out to a dismal start in the beginning of the game. Aaron Rodgers didn't complete a single pass until six minutes in, and Ryan Grant contributed very little before being sidelined with a bruised hand. Green Bay went into the locker room down 21-10, with a steady list of injuries piling up once more. At the start of the second half, Aaron Rodgers finally managed to find his groove.
