    Offense falters, defense shines, but key players (and coaches) disappoint in a brutal Green Bay Packers' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Discover the three biggest letdowns.

    The Green Bay Packers are in a terrible place. They've now lost two in a row after a demoralizing loss the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

    It was a 10-7 loss and that score doesn't even explain how ugly it was.

    Some may call it a defensive slugfest, and there were certainly elements of that. The Packers allowed just 10 points to an Eagles team with a ton of weapons. The Eagles were able to cobble together only 294 total yards, so credit to Green Bay's defense for that.

    In the meantime, though, the Packers scored just seven and there was a while in which the Eagles had a 3-0 lead that seemed insurmountable for Matt LaFleur's offensive unit. The Packers' offense totalled just 261 yards. And yes, credit to a very good Philadelphia defense, but anybody who has seen this Green Bay team play over the past month know that there's a level of ineptitude in this offense that will likely ultimately doom this team in 2025.

    There are a lot of places we can go with this, but these are the three biggest disappointments from the Monday Night Football loss.

    Disappointment #3: Luke Musgrave was zero help in replacing Tucker Kraft

    There was an idea that because he's a former second-round pick and was actually drafted ahead of Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave would be able to effortlessly slide into the TE1 role in Green Bay's offense.

    And yes, he was technically TE1 in this game against the Eagles, but Musgrave brought none of that big-play ability we were hoping to see.

    Again, credit the Eagles' defense. They absolutely did their part in stopping the Packers. 

    With that said, three catches for 23 yards is just not going to cut it when we grew used to 100-plus yard and multi-touchdown games from Kraft.

    There's a big drop off, and that was obvious in this game. Also, he's a terrible blocker:

    Disappointment #2: Jordan Love had a second-straight poor game

    A few weeks ago we were talking about Jordan Love like he was an MVP, but it's clear now that we got way ahead of ourselves.

    Love was terrible against the Eagles. Yes, he didn't have a ton of help. The loss of Kraft was monumental for this offense, and he was also playing without rookie Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs was hurt during the game.

    Love still had a healthy Josh Jacobs behind him and an offense featuring Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks, who are two solid wideouts. Perhaps any offense that's trotting out Bo Melton in critical situations is doomed to fail, but it can't be ignored how unable to handle the moment Love looked on Monday night.

    Again, credit Philly's defense, because they got after him. The great quarterbacks know how to handle both external pressure as well as pressure from a defense, though, and Love has not had that instinct over his past two weeks of play.

    Love completed just 20-of-36 passes for 176 yards with no touchdowns. At least he didn't throw an interception, but he's now completed just 46-of-73 passes for no touchdowns and an interception in the last two games. He also had a costly turnover.

    That's not good.

    Disappointment #1: Matt LaFleur must give up the play-calling duties on offense 

    LaFleur should not be this team's head coach. He's absolutely going to get a chance to play out this season, and anything could happen. Frankly, he's deserved at least that. He's led the Packers to the playoffs in all but one season as head coach, so we know he can at least get him that far.

    There have to be major questions about whether or not he can be "the guy" to get them over the hump, though. General Manager Brian Gutekunst made moves this offseason that would suggest the Packers are in a Super Bowl window, but LaFleur can't even get the Pack over the hump in the NFC North right now.

    More pressing is his play-calling, though. His offense has gone stale and it's gotten predictable. There's no discernable identity for what the Packers want to be on offense, and the injuries to players like Jayden Reed and Kraft are not an excuse. 

    This team has weapons, but LaFleur has seemingly forgotten how to use them. Or, just as bad, he's lost his ability to use them in a way that keeps defenses on their heels.

    For an offensive play-caller, becoming predictable is a death knell, and LaFleur has become more than predictable.

    To save his job, LaFleur may want to let some fresh eyes and perspective call the plays. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich could not do any worse at this point, so instead of just giving him the title, give him the play sheet as well.
