Matt LaFleur's decision-making and the team's overall sloppiness played huge roles in the Green Bay Packers’ season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Green Bay Packers are through their first test of the season. The Packers report card reflects a litany of self-inflicted wounds in a 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night in Brazil.
While there was not a lot of room for Jacobs through most of the first three quarters, the turning point seemed to hit when Emanuel Wilson took the field. Love is the proud new owner of a record contract. Some of the mistakes he made vs. the Eagles were that of a rookie. Saquon Barkley, however, was the star of the night. Until the Eagles were trying to run the ball and run out the clock, making them more predictable, Barkley was averaging 6 yards per carry.
Of course, it was not going to be smooth sailing for the rookie, as he missed a 43-yard field goal that would have pulled the Packers to within two points late in the third quarter. Instead, it was an uphill battle for the Packers from there.
