The word "inconsistent" defines the Green Bay Packers offense throughout training camp, thus far, which was to be expected.

But that doesn't mean Jordan Love and co. are OK with the results. They're the ultimate competitors – professional athletes. These guys hold themselves to the highest of standards even when those standards (perfection, for example) aren't likely to be met.

What's really frustrated the Packers offense has been the lack of winning the day in the moments that matter most: two-minute drills, red zone drills, etc. That's where the unit has really fallen flat and while no one is even close to giving up, it's certainly starting to leave its mark on Love and his teammates on that side of the ball.

"That was frustrating, obviously, two minutes, that's we're practicing – the situation's to go win a game," Love told reporters Tuesday when asked about the defense winning the contested two-minute drill. "Whether it's in a game and a half, you know, we're practicing a situation for reason, that's when we need it, you need to go down, drive down and win that game. So it's frustrating that we haven't been able to even get a drive started, let alone, you know, move the ball downfield and score.

"So, it's something that we're gonna go back and film, figure it out, watch it, see what areas we need to improve on and come back to it next week."

Part of figuring it out is getting on the same page and figuring things out, together. Once that happens, it's all about bringing the concepts and teamwork to life on the practice field. 

But, so far, the Packers offense hasn't even been on the same page. Which, honestly, is rather surprising considering all of the stories about Love and certain offensive players getting together during the offseason. And, it gets more frustrating when realizing that yes, this is a young group, but outside of the newcomers, most of these guys have been in the same offense for multiple years, now.

"I think it's just that consistency," said Love. "I don't think we are being consistent with all the rules, in the offense [and] as consistent as we can be in the plays and [it] just comes down to us being on the same page. And I don't think we have that right now – we're still kind of going through those growing pains, right now. But I think there's definitely spurts of it, and it's awesome to see and then it sucks when we have days where we're just not putting it together. And obviously, there wasn't a lot of juice out there from us. It's disappointing when you're not able to put those plays together. But we just have to find a way as a whole to come together and be able to turn that around."

Make no mistake, however. Love certainly knows he's had his own hand in the inconsistency pot and there's plenty that he can work on when it comes to his own game.

He's not pointing fingers, by any means. In fact, if he's pointing fingers at anyone – it's himself.

"I think the biggest thing for me, that's kind of disappointed me so far, is pocket movement," said Love. "You know, kind of when the play breaks down, my feet kind of get off [and have] been a little spastic in the pocket, and not being able to stay in control, stay in my base and just kind of go through the reads. And that's kind of when I've gotten off and missed a couple easy throws – those ones you wish you could get back. But I guess the biggest thing that I need to keep working is just having that balance in the pocket. Not getting flustered and if I need to get out just get out and make a play."

Honest self-assessments like this is how people grow. Especially in this sport. Love is being real when it comes to what improvements need to be made instead of sweeping it under the rug and that should lead to better results in the future.

Instead of dodging it – he's taking it head on. And that in itself is encouraging to see.
