It’s now Wednesday, so it’s probably time to turn the page and move on to Week 6. But before we do, here are five things I think about the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the New York Giants in Week 5, focusing on the offense:
1. There’s good reason to actually be encouraged about the offense coming out of this contest. The Packers put up 20 points in the first half, using a furious mix of runs and run alerts to stress the Giants and create easy plays. The second half got off track because the Packers only got three real possessions, and one promising drive ended in a sack, one featured three straight failures in the passing game and one other promising drive didn’t finish in the end zone. It looked bad because of maybe 4-5 plays in key spots. I’d argue the offense was called exceedingly well on Sunday, but the execution on an individual basis was just lacking at times.
