The Green Bay Packers may have lost their last game, 16-13, against the Carolina Panthers, but their 5-2-1 record thus far in the 2025 NFL season proves a solid performance. Still, quarterback Jordan Love is unhappy with the current state of the offense, and his stance can pretty much be summed up in a single word.

In Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season, Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love has expressed disappointment with the team’s offense. He has called the offensive team “inconsistent”.

The Packers aren’t in the midst of an offensive meltdown by any means. They currently rank seventh in the NFL in total yards per game (360) and are tied for fifth in scoring, averaging 27.5 points. Still, Jordan Love’s comments reflect a need for consistency that the team has struggled to maintain over the past two games.

The Green Bay side struggles with drive efficiency. The offense went three-and-out three times in each of the past two weeks, marking the third and fourth games this season in which they’ve had at least three three-and-outs.

Although it’s not right to expect a team to score every time they get the ball, it becomes frustrating when a team doesn’t gain any yards before punting. But it’s not only Love who has shown disappointment with the offense’s current status.

Head Coach Matt LaFleur has also called out the issue. “It’s frustrating when you know there’s opportunities there and you don’t convert.”

Love has addressed the three-and-out issue earlier, before calling the offense inconsistent. “Anytime you go three-and-out, it just feels like you’re barely on the field. It feels like you didn’t do anything. You definitely didn’t help the defense out at all. I think for us, as talented as we are on offense, it’s just disappointing.” Love said. But this is just one reason why the Packers’ offense has been inconsistent.

Against the Los Angeles Rams, the Packers had four plays of 15-plus yards, and each one of them came on their four scoring drives. So, on the other seven drives, the team didn’t have any big plays, and six of those drives gained zero or one first down. Therefore, the offense needs to strike a perfect balance between big completions and easy ones.

What has made the Packers’ offense more challenging to deal with is the latest update on tight end Tucker Kraft.

A disappointing update on Kraft complicates Love’s situation

Kraft suffered a knee injury during the Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers in the third quarter and was ruled out of the game. Later, the team’s injury report revealed that Kraft might have torn his ACL. Before leaving the game, Kraft had 2 catches for 20 yards.

After the game, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that the injury doesn’t look good, and ESPN reporter Rob Demovsky added that the injury could be season-ending as well. Even NFL insider Ian Rapoport has hinted that this injury would end the season for Kraft.

As of now, Kraft is questionable to return, and his place will be taken by Luke Musgrave, as he has been listed as the top backup tight end on Green Bay’s roster. 

Whether it is the three-and-out situation, the balance between easy and big completions, or injuries, the Green Bay Packers will have to find a way to stay consistent with their offense if they want to continue to top the table and have a shot at the playoffs.
