Aaron Rodgers is particularly vexed right now after Green Bay’s 13-10 loss to San Fransico 49ers. The reason for Rodger’s frustration — Aaron Rodgers has never defeated the 49ers in the playoffs. Rodgers and the Packers are 0-4 against the 49ers in the playoffs.

The Packers’ early exit from the postseason has once against brought up questions about reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers’ future at Green Bay. Following a disappointing loss, Rodgers said he’ll take some time to think about his choices before diving into what comes next.

“I didn’t think we’d be talking about this after this game,” Rodgers said in the postgame interview when asked about his future. “I’m going to take some time and have conversations with folks around here, and then take some time away and make a decision — obviously before free agency or anything gets going on that front. It’s fresh right now. A little shocking for sure. I was hoping to have a nice weekend for the NFC Championship, to enjoy the lead-up and then start contemplating some things, so I haven’t even let the moment really sink in yet.”

This is the 3rd consecutive year for Rodgers and the Packers where they have won 13 games in the regular season without a single Super Bowl trip. This definitely has to sting for Rodgers. When he was said if the way the season ended might have an impact on his decision to stay in Green Bay. “Of course it does,” he replied. “But you know there are a lot of decisions to be made, a lot of players whose futures are up in the air.”

“Definitely will be interesting to see which way some of those decisions go. But I’ll have conversations with (GM) Brian (Gutekunst) in the next week or so and get a little bit more clarity. And think about my own future and how much longer I want to keep doing this.”

With all the talks about Rodgers’ leaving the Packers, he was asked if he still views Green Bay as a place where he can win the Super Bowl or if this was his last hurrah with the team. “I don’t know. That’s a fair question,” he said.

“Definitely one I’ve thought about. But there are a lot of decisions to be made. Key players, a lot of guys who played tonight… so many guys whose contracts are up or on the brink or salary cap stuff. So, a lot of decisions to be made. I don’t want to be part of a rebuild if I’m going to keep playing. So a lot of decisions in the next couple of months.”
