At this point, it's clear that the Green Bay Packers offense is one of the worst in the NFL. 

It's a culmination of everything, as well. The offensive line struggles with both pass protection and run blocking. Jordan Love is inaccurate and looks like he has plateaued in terms of his 2023 development. Matt LaFleur is an ineffective play-caller. And, finally, A.J. Dillon can't find enough rhythm to help offset Aaron Jones' absence and the young tight ends are going through the typical rigors that compose rookie life.

Everywhere you look, there is something holding the unit back. There's no clear fix, either. This team just can't get in-synch on the offensive side of the ball and the end result has been one of the poorest offensive stretches in recent memory.

"Obviously zero," LaFleur said when asked how much progress he thinks the team has made in overcoming the slow starts. "We just we keep digging ourselves in a hole… it's just disappointing to have no points at that at the half. I've said it before: I think anytime you hold somebody under 20 points in this league, I think we have to do enough to win from an offensive standpoint. And we obviously aren't.

"It's just way too fragmented and just not consistent execution."

Everyone knew there would be growing pains, but there was also supposed to be flashes of the talent and explosiveness that was advertised throughout the offseason. That is what made the trade-off acceptable.

But, outside of Week 1, it's clear that chatter represents a bait-and-switch, more than anything.

The offense has no identity, therefore, it has no plays to rely on or anything to go to when things are getting bad. It's clear as day and it's held the unit back all season long. That's a major problem for a unit trying to find its way and instead of forging paths, the Packers are getting lost in the muck.

"I think there are certain areas where you want to be able to hang your hat on something, right?" Matt LaFleur said after the loss to the Raiders. "Whether it's go to players and/or plays, that you can go to in tough times that you know that you got a pretty good chance to have success with."

The second half performances be damned. With each promising note, there is a caveat that comes with it. Love and co. scored 14-points in the second half against the Atlanta Falcons, but none of those points came in the fourth quarter as the Falcons mounted their comeback. Then, there was the miraculous, 18-point fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints, but as we've seen, relying on those comebacks isn't a sustainable way to win games.

The Packers were already down by 24-points when they scored 17 second half points against the Detroit Lions and then there's the unimpressive seven-point second half against the Las Vegas Raiders. 

"I think not starting the game fast [and] not putting up points quickly – it comes back to bite us in the end," Love said after the game. "You know, we we try and do everything we can to fight and claw and I think everyone does that. The effort is always there. Everybody's fighting [and] everybody's straining, but like I said, not putting up points in the first half – it's coming back to bite us…

"… There's just too many critical errors, right now, offense. We all havee to do a better job. We all just have to lock in and do a better job."

Green Bay isn't going to win any games playing this brand of football and what makes things all the more frustrating is the team had an extra week to prepare for a subpar defense. They can't keep relying on tipped balls to fall into the lap of a rookie that's a few feet away. It's simply a matter of luck and while luck is certainly a part of the winning football formula – teams can't rely on it.

Or else they'll be experiencing things like the Packers, who haven't seen their record at 2-4 since 2006.

Sunday was a chance for the Packers to show that they can get things turned around. That they can play competent football on the offensive side of the ball. Instead, it was more of the same and unfortunately, that should be the expectation moving forward.
