NFL GDT: 2024 NFC Wild Card Round: (2) Philadelphia Eagles vs (7) Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love when he is nursing any type of injury, becomes the worst version of Brett Favre, terrible accuracy, questionable decision making and stupidity rather than bravery. That elbow injury, while he says wasn't affecting him, clearly was.

With the knee/groin injuries, he was terrible.
When he was healthy, he was top tier.
Elbow injury and he looked like he did with the knee/groin injuries.

That being said, as a Packers fan this played out exactly how I thought it would. The issues that plagued them all season:

• Bad fumbles
• Special team miscues
• Missed tackles
• Bad calls on defense on 3rd down
• Bad calls on offense in critical spots
• Jordan Love being terrible when injured so he would throw interceptions
• Bad discipline both procedurally and pre and post snap.

Lafleur has had the same problems since year 1 and hasn't fixed a single one of them. Lafleur is the embodiment of this Green Bay team. He's a good coach who is better than other good coaches. But he's not an elite coach and whenever he faces elite teams, he loses. This Green Bay team has a high ceiling but they are capped as being the best of the good teams but not a great team.
