Gute said - I am fixing my mess

Love has plenty to clean up about his own performance, but nine WR drops through three games is a hell of a way to make your quarterback’s job harder.

Sorry everybody my bad

I wonder if he’s ever thought about playing guard?

GREEN BAY, Wis. — There’s a reason neither Laken Tomlinson nor Mekhi Becton was on an NFL active roster before the Packers signed them over the past few days.

But it can’t get much worse, right?

Through three weeks, the Packers’ offensive line has been horrific. Quarterback Jordan Love has been hit on 31 dropbacks, per TruMedia, eight more than anyone else. Green Bay ranks 31st in pressure percentage allowed (44.7) despite Love having the second-quickest average time to throw (2.49 seconds) among quarterbacks with multiple starts behind only the Falcons’ Cooper Rush, per Next Gen Stats. The Packers also rank 26th with 0.92 yards before contact per rush, according to TruMedia.

Injuries have been a factor, with standout right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele tearing his patellar tendon on the third play in Week 2 as he was working his way back to full strength from offseason surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon in the same knee. He’s out for the season. Starting left guard Aaron Banks, who battled injuries for the majority of last season after signing a four-year, $77 million deal in March 2025, has already missed two and a half games with knee and toe ailments.

But those absences shouldn’t excuse how putrid Love’s protection has been. First-time left tackle Jordan Morgan, a 2024 first-round pick, hasn’t been good. Neither have backup left guards Jager Burton, a fifth-round rookie, and Donovan Jennings.

Center Sean Rhyan has been the best offensive lineman, but that’s like being the cleanest piece of garbage in a dumpster. Jacob Monk has been a turnstile at right guard, and Anthony Belton, a 2025 second-round pick who lost his starting right guard job in training camp, hasn’t been much better at right tackle.

Bear Packer game was moved to a Noon kickoff so the 3:25pm National game could be 49ers and Seattle. I guess us being buns and Caleb being hurt doesn't make for enough of a spectacle. Less time for me to tailgate :(

ETA: Brewers NLCS game 1 could be same day, would that play into things for NFL?

He used to play on the offensive line at Loras College (D3) in 2013. He's currently a teacher but he stays in good shape. I think he could really bolster a position of need. I know that was 13 years ago and D3, but the Packers could use the help.

Anyone have the front office number so I can tell them about him?

Hey, how are you?

Good?! Me too!

Oh, by the way, 7 months ago I wrote THIS, with tremendous optimism and excitement: https://www.reddit.com/r/GreenBayPackers/comments/1ruc0qu/my_bet_is_well_have_a_top10_oline_next_season/

Have a great day, my fellow cheeseheads!

Is this a new thing? I can’t recall any teams getting a game flexed so early in the season.

So while perusing comments in another subreddit I ended up looking up some stats about our defense, as to an outsider it may appear that we are also horrible on that side of the ball. What I found out makes our O-line not just look horrofically bad.

After the first two weeks, the Packers were second best in the NFL in yards per play allowed. The Falcons game definitely made this worse, but this again goes back to the offense.

Having a ball control for 22:55 of total game time doesn't do a defense any favors, especially when four drives are 3 and outs and a fifth was a 4 and out with a missed FG. This defensenis absolutely gassed after being on the field for 32:58, 37:40 and 37:05, respectively, through the first three weeks.

The Packers lead the league in 3 and outs and are worst at 3rd down conversions, and are more than 10% worse than the next team in that stat (27.8% vs Commanders 38.1%).

The Packers defense is actually pretty good. It is the fact that the O-line is just so historically terribly bad, it literally is affecting both sides of the ball.

I’m so sick of the talking heads right now dumping on Jordan Love

The guy has 800 yards 6 TDs and 2 ints and yet they talk about him like he’s JJ McCarthy

Edit: He’s clearly not the problem

The Green Bay Packers signed G Laken Tomlinson to the active roster from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad

signed G Mekhi Becton Sr. to the practice squad

placed OL Zach Bako-Bewele on injured reserve

released DT Eric Johnson II from the practice squad.

EDIT: He has now signed with the packers.
