However, it was ESPN’s Bill Barnwell who took the picture optimistic road ahead for the Packers.
“The Packers should still be optimistic about their future,” Barnwell said. “The league’s youngest team in each of the past two seasons has come off back-to-back playoff appearances. They’re stuck in a tough division, but their defense has taken a big step forward in Jeff Hafley’s first season as coordinator. And Love was second in the league in KBR in the final two months of the campaign. Love wasn’t great against Philly. But one disappointing performance without multiple starters for some or all of the game against a great defense shouldn’t erase the positives from 2024.
Love had to attack the Eagles defense without Christian Watson, out for the season with a torn ACL. During the game, the next two best wideouts — Romeo Daubs and Jaden Reed — left the game with injuries. That meant Love had guys Dontayvion Weeks and Bo Melton at his disposal. Yes, it’s hard to win in the playoffs without at least one top receiver.
Barnwell suggested the Packers should rely more on pass protection from guys like Myers — if he re-signs — instead of running as much.
“If the Packers want to take a step forward in 2025, should they rely more on Love and less on their running game?” Barnwell wrote. “They have been the team in the league with the most early break runs in neutral game scenarios by a significant margin this season.” They shot the ball only 42.7% of the time in those spots. The 31st-ranked Eagles were as close to the Giants at 22nd as they were to the Packers at last.”
