Packers v 49ers Recap: Green Bay drops opener, 28-21

The Packers kicked off the preseason against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs a year ago, with far fewer starters, and far less at stake. With almost every important starter or veteran sitting this one out, we got an extended look at Jordan Love’s progress in his third season, as well as preseason superstar Romeo Doubs.

Unfortunately for Love, (13/24, 176 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs) he still seems to be plagued by uneven footwork, poor accuracy, and poor decision making. while defenders were quick to jump to his defense, as two of his three first-half interceptions could fairly be categorized as flukes, he was still a mess on short throws, missing several open, and easy throws to the flat.
