Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers were ripped by NFL execs despite being the New York Jets in Week 2.

The Green Bay Packers avoided a 0-2 start to the 2026 season by beating the New York Jets on Sunday (9/20). 

However, multiple NFL executives are not impressed. 

"The Packers I just feel are broken," one exec said, via The Athletic's Mike Sando. "There is something wrong there. I feel like when it's tight, the quarterback struggles. You just feel it. He throws off his back foot. And then of course they are missing Micah Parsons. When they get him back, that can give them some juice."

The Packers beat the Jets 20-17. Jordan Love had only 145 passing yards. While he did throw two touchdowns, Love was sacked three times. 

"Why isn't Green Bay scoring more points?" another exec added. "All you hear about is how good the quarterback is, how much they like him, what a dynamic play caller they have."

Love has 532 passing yards and four passing touchdowns through two games. He's completing just 52.1 percent of his passes, well below his 63.7 percent career average.

Love also has three fumbles. 

Green Bay blew a 22-10 lead against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the 2026 season and lost by a final score of 39-22. The Packers were outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter.

Love is now 27-21-1 as the Packers' starting QB. Green Bay is 1-3 in the playoffs since Love took over for future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.  

Both Rodgers and Brett Favre won a Super Bowl with the Packers, so Love is under pressure to follow in their footsteps, especially after getting a four-year, $220 million extension in 2024.  

Love finished last season with 3,381 passing yards and 23 passing touchdowns while completing 66.3% of his passes. The Packers went 9-7-1 and lost to the Chicago Bears in the wild-card round of the 2025 NFL playoffs.

Green Bay hosts the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. Love and Co. should win that game easily, as the Falcons are 0-2.
