    4th Q 2023

    Week 1: Packers lead 24-14 and score 14 to blow out the Bears

    Week 2: Packers had a 12 point lead, allow 13 and lose by 1 point to the Falcons. Defensive loss

    Week 3: Packers down 17 points and score 18 unanswered in the 4th Q vs the Saints. Love Comeback #1

    Week 4: Blown out by Lions

    Week 5: Packers allowed a TD at the start of the Q to the Raiders. Love throws two INTs and lose by 4. Failed comeback

    Week 6 - BYE

    Week 7: Down 16-10 to the Broncos, Love leads a 6min, 66 yard TD Drive. Defense gives up a FG. Love throws an INT after being in 3rd and 20 and needing just a FG to retake the lead. Both a 4th comeback and loss.

    Week 8 and 9 - blowout loss (Queens) and win (Rams)

    Week 10: Trailing the Steelers by 1 point into the 4th q, the Packers punted twice before allowing a FG. Needing a TD, Love drove the team 2x for 60+ yard drives that ended with 2 INTs (one in the endzone, the other more of a fail mary). Failed comeback

    Week 11: Packers took a 3pt lead into 4th vs the Chargers and allowed a go ahead TD. Love brings them back and matches it for another TD pass to win. Love Comeback #2

    Week 12: Packers had control of the Lions and didn’t have to do much

    Week 13: Packers had a narrow 2 pt lead early in the 4th against the champs and put 2 FGs to make it an 8pt game.

    Week 14: Packers trailed by 8 vs the Giants and needed a FG and a TD drive but fail on a 2pt conversion. Defense then lets Devito walk down the field in 90seconds to lose on a kick. Both a 4th Q comeback and a loss.

    Week 15: Packers were down 10 and trimmed it to one score with a short FG vs the Bucs but team imploded on Defense with a 52yr TD and Loves fumble too then run out the clock.


    In summary:

    Love has had 6 comeback attempts
    In 4 of those games he’s led the Packers to take the lead but only won 2 (Week 7 and 14 being on the Defensive lapse)
    In the other 2 (Week 5 and 10), he tossed two INTs in each game

    Which one of those hurt more / Raiders, Steelers, Giants or Broncos, why?

    Or is blowing a lead worse - like the Falcons game?

    It’s hard to argue that Week 3 isn’t the most impressive comeback - but what other 4th Q was notable (Chargers or Giants)?


    At least this seasons been mostly close and signs of hope for the future.
    The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

    Great diagnosis and analysis.
    Most games are won/loss in the fourth quarter.
    Although we’re done for the year, I truly believe Jordon will deliver in the future.

    Does count as a 4th comeback when your team blows 14pt lead and you need a go ahead FG for the win?

    I think comebacks should be when you’re trailing, right?

    Seems pretty cut and dry that Barry isn’t a capable NFL DC.

    Seems pretty cut and dried that this is his last year as our DC.

    For all intensive purposes they are the same

    (see what I did there - yes it’s ‘intents and’ but language is just to convey a thought - often misunderstood)
