It was a rough Monday night for Jordan Love (10) and the Green Bay Packers’ offense.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday, Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur was asked about his team\u2019s consistency \u2014 or lack thereof.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s the challenge,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cLike I said, every week, can you play up to your level, and can you do it consistently. Consistency is the greatest measurement of performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Monday night, the Packers were consistent on offense \u2014 consistently awful.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia came to Lambeau Field in an NFC showdown, held the Packers to just 261 total yards and downed Green Bay, 10-7. <\/p>\n
The Packers lost their second straight home game, fell to 5-3-1 and are now in third place in the NFC North behind both Detroit and Chicago (6-3).<\/p>\n
Green Bay also fell to the No. 7 seed in the NFC, the same spot it was a year ago when it lost to the Eagles, 22-10, in the NFC Wild Card round.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the \u2018Good, Bad and Ugly\u2019 from the Eagles\u2019 win over Green Bay.<\/p>\n
THE GOOD<\/p>\n
JOSH JACOBS: The one bright light in a horrendous night for the Packers\u2019 offense was the play of Jacobs.<\/p>\n
Green Bay\u2019s Pro Bowl running back had 20 carries for 79 yards and scored the Packers\u2019 lone touchdown. Jacobs also led Green Bay with five receptions for 33 yards.<\/p>\n
TAKE IT AWAY: The Packers entered the game with just five takeaways all year. The Eagles came into the contest with only three turnovers all season.<\/p>\n
But Green Bay forced a big turnover early.<\/p>\n
The Eagles drove to the Packers\u2019 24-yard line and quarterback Jalen Hurts ran up the middle for 10 yards. As Hurts was going to the ground, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper punched the ball loose and cornerback Keisean Nixon recovered.<\/p>\n
Nixon then returned the fumble 22 yards to the Green Bay 36, giving the Packers good field position.<\/p>\n
DEFENSE SHINES EARLY: The Packers\u2019 defense was terrific in the first half, holding the Eagles scoreless and to just 125 total yards. Philadelphia averaged 4.0 yards per play and went 3-for-9 on third and fourth down.<\/p>\n
Cornerbacks Carrington Valentine and Nixon shined, holding standout wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonte Smith to a combined four receptions for 30 yards. The Packers also kept star running back Saquon Barkley to 33 yards on nine carries (3.7).<\/p>\n
THIS AND THAT: Savion Williams returned the opening kickoff 33 yards to the 39-yard line. \u2026 Tight end Josh Wylie had a terrific block on an 11-yard run by Josh Jacobs. \u2026 Wideout Dontayvion Wicks had four receptions for 38 yards.<\/p>\n
THE BAD<\/p>\n
RISKY BUSINESS: LaFleur rolled the dice and went for it on a fourth-and-9 from the Eagles\u2019 41 on the Packers\u2019 opening possession of the second half.<\/p>\n
The results weren\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n
Love threw a perfect pass to wideout Bo Melton 15 yards downfield. But Melton let the ball get to his body and dropped the throw and the Eagles took over at their own 41.<\/p>\n
Fortunately for LaFleur and the Packers, Green Bay\u2019s defense forced a three-and-out and prevented any further damage.<\/p>\n
KILLER PENALTY: The Packers had a second-and-6 from the Eagles\u2019 35 early in the fourth quarter when Love hit Christian Watson for 22 yards and an apparent first down at Philadelphia\u2019s 13. But Darrian Kinnard \u2014 who had reported eligible as a sixth offensive lineman \u2014 was hit with an illegal formation penalty.<\/p>\n
Two plays later, the Packers punted. <\/p>\n
THIS AND THAT: Green Bay center Elgton Jenkins left with an ankle injury late in the first half and did not return. \u2026 Green Bay drove to the Eagles\u2019 38-yard line on its opening possession. But the drive was blown up when Love was sacked by outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt for an 11-yard loss. \u2026 Love had a fumble on the Packers\u2019 second series and recovered his own miscue. \u2026 The Packers converted an early fourth-and-1 when Love ran a quarterback sneak for three yards. But left guard Aaron Banks was flagged for a false start and the Packers were forced to punt. \u2026 Romeo Doubs had just one catch before leaving with a chest injury.<\/p>\n
THE UGLY<\/p>\n
DREADFUL OFFENSE: Green Bay\u2019s offense was about as anemic as you\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n
The Packers finished with just 261 total yards and averaged just 4.0 yards per play against a defense that was allowing 336 yards and 23.1 points per game.<\/p>\n
Green Bay\u2019s offense was particularly dreadful in the first half.<\/p>\n
The Packers had just 83 total yards and averaged only 3.0 yards per play in the first half. Green Bay was 0-for-5 on third downs, and its five drives resulted in four punts and a lost fumble by quarterback Jordan Love.<\/p>\n
Love\u2019s lost fumble was particularly brutal as the Packers had driven to the Eagles\u2019 27 before Love coughed it up.<\/p>\n
Love had just 39 passing yards with a long gain of nine yards. Three of Love\u2019s six completions were to running back Josh Jacobs and he had just one completion to a wide receiver \u2014 a five-yarder to Romeo Doubs.<\/p>\n
With numbers like that, it was no surprise the Packers were held scoreless in the first half.<\/p>\n
MATT LAFLEUR: Green Bay\u2019s head coach doubles as the offensive coordinator, and lately, his performances have left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n
LaFleur\u2019s play calling has been questionable, at best, and with 2:18 left in the game he had a suspect call that sunk his offense. On a fourth-and-1 from Green Bay\u2019s 44, he ran Josh Jacobs who was blown up and fumbled, eliminating the Packers\u2019 best scoring chance.<\/p>\n
The Packers have just 20 points in their last two games \u2014 both losses at home. And dating back to Green Bay\u2019s 22-10 playoff loss to Philadelphia in January, the Packers have just 17 points in their last eight quarters against the Eagles.<\/p>\n
Perhaps it\u2019s time LaFleur lets offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich try calling the plays. <\/p>\n
DOUBLE TROUBLE: The Packers defense did their part most of the night, but gave up back-to-back huge plays in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
On third-and-7 from the Eagles\u2019 23, Hurts flipped a pass in the left flat for Barkley, who made cornerback Carrington Valentine miss and took off on a 41-yard catch-and-run. On the next play, Hurts ran play action and got Smith one-on-one with safety Evan Williams. Smith got a step on Williams, the ball was slightly underthrown, but Smith adjusted and outmuscled Williams for a 36-yard touchdown that gave the Eagles a 10-0 lead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a rough Monday night for Jordan Love (10) and the Green Bay Packers’ offense.
