Questions of identity dog the 2019 Green Bay Packers. Consistency on either side of the ball on a down-to-down basis eludes them, replaced instead with brilliant flashes of dynamic potential. One drive the Packers offense looks utterly unstoppable, an excellent Bears defense helpless to defend it. The next, they’re lifeless, listless, and pallid, drifting through plays like a teenager through first period English.
Defensively they face a similar bugaboo. Blown coverages and missed assignments allow big plays and on third downs, they struggle to get off the field on anything resembling a consistent basis.
