The\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0starters looked like they didn\u2019t miss a beat as the story of the game as the Packers offense failing to move the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Four different quarterbacks combined for just 84 passing yards. The Packers lone touchdown came from\u00a0Amar Johnson, one of the only bright spots in Green Bay\u2019s preseason opener.<\/p>\n<h2>Jordan Love Isn\u2019t Concerned By the Green Bay Packers Slow Start<\/h2>\n<p>Something that NFL fans love to do is overreact after one preseason game. The Packers suffered a dreadful loss to the\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a0last year in the preseason, 27-2. Ultimately, they ended up just fine in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there wasn\u2019t much for the Green Bay faithful to be excited for on Saturday night.\u00a0Jordan Love\u00a0played two drives, making\u00a0only one completion. Drops were once again an issue as\u00a0Romeo Doubs\u00a0and\u00a0Malik Heath\u00a0didn\u2019t make the $220 million man\u2019s life any easier.<\/p>\n<p>Other than Johnson, Packers rookie,\u00a0Matthew Golden\u00a0made his presence felt. He may have only had one catch for seven yards, but it was Love\u2019s only completion of the game. A drop for Golden would\u2019ve been detrimental, but he immediately received WR1 praise.<\/p>\n<p>After the loss,\u00a0Love took to the podium\u00a0to speak about his performance, \u201cWe had two drives and there were definitely things we could\u2019ve done a lot better on. Didn\u2019t move the ball very well, didn\u2019t put up any points. There\u2019s going to be stuff we look back on and want to clean up moving forward, but obviously it was limited action.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><em>Jordan Love: \u201cI\u2019m not gonna rush to any judgement on a preseason game.\u201d\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/tzCTyMqnfB<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman)\u00a0August 10, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI\u2019m not gonna rush to any judgement on a preseason game.\u201d While unconfirmed, Matt LaFleur\u00a0likely won\u2019t be playing\u00a0his third-year starter in the remaining two preseason games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Packers QB Depth Questioned as Malik Willis Struggles<\/h2>\n<p>Last year,\u00a0Malik Willis\u00a0was the savior of this team. When Love went down with an injury, he led the team to victory on three separate occasions. He threw the most passes (9) out of the four Packers QB\u2019s as he was sacked more (three times) than all of them combined.<\/p>\n<p>Willis had a costly play inside the Jets 10-yard line, allowing for New York to expand their lead in the second quarter. One of the Packers two fumbles went against Willis, with the other on\u00a0Mecole Hardman\u00a0during a punt return.<\/p>\n<p>The former\u00a0Tennessee Titans\u00a03rd round pick went 4\/9 with 39 yards. That was a vast difference compared to Love\u2019s 1\/5 for 7 yards. Willis tried to take off on a few occasions, though he only recorded one carry for 5 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Clifford\u00a0was the Packers 5th round pick in 2023. The Penn State graduate continues to earn preseason snaps, going 2\/4 with 14 yards. At the end of the day,\u00a0Taylor Elgersma\u00a0proved to be the difference maker. The 23-year-old was nearly perfect, 3\/4 for 24 yards.<\/p>\n<p>With an average of six yards per attempt, the rookie was Green Bay\u2019s most efficient QB. His 89.6 rating was\u00a0by far the highest, a huge boost to the team\u2019s 55.9 average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lambeau Field witnessed a massacre the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0lost their first preseason game, 30-10.
