Jordan Love sounds excited about what he and the Packers offense can do

There's been a ton of dissapointment surrounding the Green Bay Packers after their Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

There's even some anger. 

It makes sense, too. The Pack had a 22-10 third-quarter lead and still held a 22-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. They blew it, though, losing 39-22.

It wasn't just the loss that stung, either. It was the way it happened. This team, under head coach Matt LaFleur, has seemingly developed a habit of collapsing.

That's a huge issue for Green Bay if it wants to be a Super Bowl team and that, plus the dreadful play of the offensive line, has really cast a long shadow over the team despite the fact that we're only heading into Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season.

Not all is negative for the Packers, though. Keep in mind, Jordan Love and the offense put up 419 total yards against one of the best defensive coordinators in the league, Brian Flores.

Before the meltdown, Love and Green Bay's offense looked great. He threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns with an interception, and he connected on big plays with the trio of Christian Watson, Matthew Golden and tight end Tucker Kraft.

Per Love, that's reason enough to feel good about this offense.

"We've got a lot of guys that can make plays, and that's the exciting part," Love recently said, per Mike Spofford of Packers.com. "We've got to stick with it, keep leaning on some of the stuff we did good, but we want to be an explosive offense. Obviously, we've got to make defenses pay when they give us the right look."

Green Bay Packers can be explosive if they develop consistency 

The explosives were there.

Watson caught six passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 24.5 yards per catch. Golden, in his second year as a former first-round pick, caught six passes for 95 yards, averaging 15.8 yards per catch.

In his first action since a 2025 ACL tear, Kraft looked every bit the star he was becoming before the injury. He averaged 21.7 yards per reception on three catches for 65 total yards.

The formula is there for the Packers to have an explosive offense, and that's not even factoring in players like Jayden Reed, Jonnu Smith or running back MarShawn Lloyd.

If the Packers had not collapsed, there'd be completely different vibes surrounding this team heading into their Week 2 clash with the New York Jets.

"When you tallied up the explosives, we were winning that by a large margin. It's the consistency," Kraft said. "Execution is good, but when your drives just fizzle out and you're not putting sevens on the board – you're just putting threes on the board – that's where we've got to pick up the pace."
