A pair of ugly road losses and a disappointing tie suggest a team in search of consistency and continuity. The eye test jibes with that assessment, but the numbers tell a different story. The Green Bay Packers, for all their issues with execution and penalties, have actually been one of the most consistent teams play-to-play the NFL this season. They’ve come up short in one area on both sides of the ball, and this deficiency has been the difference between a 3-2-1 record and something far better.
Despite criticisms of this team — the slow starts, disjointed drives and underwhelming performances — Green Bay’s play has been more consistent than the final scores have indicated.
