Take away last week’s win against the Bills, and the Green Bay Packers have been outscored by their opponents 56-27 in the first half this season.
In three of Green Bay’s five games — versus Chicago, at Washington and at Detroit — they have made slow starts. They are lucky to be 1-2 in those games. That falls on head coach Mike McCarthy.
The Packers made an awful start in Sunday’s loss to the Lions.
Everything went wrong. A Lions punt hit Kevin King, giving possession back to Detroit on the Packers’ one-yard line.
