Every quarterback throws interceptions. It\u2019s part of the gig as the conductor of an offense in the NFL.\u00a0Unfortunately for the Green Bay Packers, too many of Jordan Love\u2019s interceptions lack situational logic.<\/p>\n

The most recent example was last Sunday. There were 3:18 remaining in the fourth quarter when Love made the inexcusable decision on a read that resulted in an easy pick for Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit. Delpit returned the interception to the four-yard line, so close to the end zone that not even Cleveland\u2019s offense could screw it up.<\/p>\n

Up to that point, the Browns\u2019 offense had been lifeless. If Cleveland\u2019s offense were a patient in the hospital, the doctor would\u2019ve called it and pulled the plug. But Love\u2019s unfathomable interception set them up in a perfect spot to punch it into the end zone, their lone touchdown, and tie the game.<\/p>\n

Green Bay\u2019s QB1 reflected on the play afterwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really tough play, especially in the circumstances and the timing of the game right there,\u201d Love said. \u201cIt\u2019s one we\u2019re gonna have to learn from and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the design itself, Love credited Delpit for reading what was going on.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s quick game. \u2026 You have to be able to see him falling off. He did a great job making the play. I didn\u2019t see him. But it\u2019s something I\u2019ve seen before. I gotta find a way to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, you can\u2019t expect your quarterback to be perfect. But so many of Love\u2019s interceptions seem to come at the worst possible time.<\/p>\n

Last year against the Detroit Lions, the Packers trailed Detroit at Lambeau Field 10-3 late in the first half. Facing a second-and-two from Green Bay\u2019s own 38-yard line, the Lions flushed Love right with 40 seconds to go until halftime. He was trying to check it down to running back Josh Jacobs as the defense came charging in. Instead of it going to Jacobs, Love lollipopped one right into the lap of Detroit safety Kerby Joseph, who promptly returned it for a pick-six.<\/p>\n

With 40 seconds left in the half, the worst-case outcome would be going into the break down 10-3. Anything else is a complete catastrophe.<\/p>\n

The remarkable came in the form of an interception by Love that, you guessed it, defied situational logic.<\/p>\n

Love said he had to clean it up after that game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely disappointing. Putting the ball in jeopardy way too many times and definitely something I have to clean up. I\u2019ve talked about it week after week, so something I\u2019ve just gotta learn from these mistakes and clean it up, but definitely something that I\u2019m gonna make a big focus on going forward, of just finding ways to take care of the ball better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another one that is difficult to erase from the mind is the turnover against the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs two years ago.<\/p>\n

Earlier in that game, the Niners had intercepted Love on a throw that was a bit high, but the ball got deflected straight into the air off the hand of tight end Tucker Kraft. It was a gut punch, but the kind of small mistake compounded by bad luck that is bound to happen sometimes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the one at the end of the game that triggers nightmares.<\/p>\n

Green Bay trailed 24-21 and had first-and-10 at their own 36-yard line. There were 52 seconds left, and the Packers had two timeouts in their back pocket. In other words, plenty of time to navigate 25 yards or so to set up a game-tying field-goal attempt.<\/p>\n

Instead, Love scrambled right, threw it back across his body into a sea of traffic. The 49ers intercepted it, ending Green Bay\u2019s season.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s preface by saying this: That one play is not why the Packers lost that game. They didn\u2019t lose because of Love. (See Anders Carlson\u2018s field-goal attempt earlier in the quarter.) However, it\u2019s yet another example of an interception that didn\u2019t make a lick of sense given the situation and the circumstances.<\/p>\n

Love is a good quarterback. His staunch defenders will note that the bad pass in Cleveland was his first interception of the year. That\u2019s fine, and Love played really well in the first two weeks. But that ugly interception continued a troubling trend.<\/p>\n

Two things can be true. Love is a solid quarterback, but also one who tends to throw unfathomable interceptions in situations where the Packers can\u2019t afford it. Maybe that\u2019s the gunslinger in him, and it will remain that way. Perhaps it\u2019s solvable and will slowly fade away.<\/p>\n

Love and the Packers \u2014 and Packer fans everywhere \u2014 will hope the latter is true.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
