Packers' offense fails to match defense in loss to Eagles - ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Seven points scored against the Philadelphia Eagles in a loss on «Monday Night Football.» Thirteen points the week before in a loss to the Carolina Panthers. Ten points in a Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

And in every one of those games, the Green Bay Packers' defense held their opponent to 16 or fewer points, including Monday's 10-7 defeat at Lambeau Field.

No wonder Jordan Love said, «You feel like as an offense you're letting the defense down.»

The Packers' performance against the Eagles was not only one of the worst offensive games in Love's three seasons as the starting quarterback, but also in Matt LaFleur's seven seasons as head coach.

«I know as a defense, they definitely have every reason to look at us and say, 'What are you guys doing? You guys need to figure it out and help us out and put up some more points,' because they're doing a great job,» Love said. «It's frustrating, but we'll stay together. We'll keep the energy high and find ways to get better and be better as an offense.»

If that sounds familiar, it's because there was a similar refrain after the 16-13 loss to the Panthers a week earlier, and after the 13-10 loss at Cleveland in Week 3.

«We're midway through the season, we can't just keep saying, 'All right, we're going to address it,'» Packers running back Josh Jacobs said. «We've got to find actual answers to our problems. I honestly don't know what those answers [are]. I feel like everybody's got to dig deep and have the belief and give more. I mean, it's not easy. We can't live off of what we did last year or nothing like that, we've got to be in the moment.»

That's where LaFleur, the offensive play caller, comes in. He has one year remaining on his contract and new team
