Getting key part of the offense back on track is the Packers' most important task ahead of the playoffs

The passing offense hasn’t been a huge area of concern for the Green Bay Packers in recent history. However, somehow, the vibes around the aerial attack are truly concerning ahead of the postseason.
In the last three games of the regular season, the Packers had only two passing touchdowns, averaging 190.6 passing yards per game. For the most part, the rushing offense has carried the unit, and this is probably not what you would expect based on how the roster is constructed.
“It's definitely been a little stagnant. It feels like we're just missing right now,” quarterback Jordan Love said after the loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. “Missing on some of these opps that before we were hitting on. It's like we're far off, it's not like everything we're running is not working. We just have to go out there and make plays. I have to be great with accuracy, ball placement and everything. It's a lot of stuff that we'll clean up. If this is a playoff game, we're going home right now. We gotta find a way to make those plays, execute, and stay on the field as an offense, put up more points.”
It’s playoff week, so head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn’t reveal much details about how he intends to get things back on track ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles game. But he acknowledges something has to be done.
“It hasn't been good. Credit to (the Bears), they did an excellent job. It is extremely frustrating right now,” LaFleur admitted. “It's something we're gonna need to take a deep dive into, and we have been, it's not like it's anything new. But we gotta do a better job.”
Heading into Week 18, the Packers were sixth in EPA per dropback and 14th in dropback success rate. It's not like they can't get it done. But it's been a rough stretch, and they must get over it quickly to have a real shot against the Eagles.
