Why react when you can overreact? Here are three views of the Green Bay Packers following their 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers had a chance to steal a road win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 but blew it. They had a chance to take an early lead in the NFC North when they hosted the Detroit Lions in Week 4 but got manhandled.
That Green Bay’s offense is off to a slow start to the season shouldn’t be a surprise. With a first-year starting quarterback and a bunch of young receivers and tight ends, everyone knew the offense would be a work in progress. That would be fine, so long as there was progress. The AJ Dillon-fueled running game had success at the start of the game and the start of the third quarter with straight-down-hill runs. Then, those power plays got pushed to the back burner.
Driver, Jennings, Jones and Nelson were the fearsome foursome that helped the Packers win a Super Bowl in 2010. A year later,. Randall Cobb, a rookie at the time, was part of that group. , meaning there is a defender within no more than 1 yards of the receiver when the ball arrives. That number, the second-highest in the league, suggests Love has been forced to throw to a bunch of well-covered receivers.
However, the ridiculed run defense held Josh Jacobs to 69 yards on 20 carries. Indomitable Davante Adams caught four passes for 45 yards. That’s good work by Joe Barry’s crew.
