The Packers have been very inefficient overall the entire season, particularly when it comes to scoring in the 1st half. This has led to them throwing more often and longer in the second half.
Jordan Love is 44 for 82 pass attempts 377yds 2 tds in the 1st half of games this season. 2nd half he is 67 for 111, 887 yds and 8 tds. Despite missing the past 3 games, Watson still hasnt had a good game overall.
Likewise, this is where Christian Watson also has gotten all his yards in the second half of the 3 games his played (5/133/1TD vs 3/10/0). Christian Watson is “supposed” to be the WR1 on this team but since their offense is so disjointed, should he really be considered a boom or bust? Were hoping that they get down early, so that Love can start throwing it to his best reciever. Can Christian Watson’s poor boxscore be solely tied to QB play of Jordan Love?
1/2 of production in a game is horrible. I don’t know why you would think going an entire half with no production is somehow beneficial.
What I would say is this trend makes him a good “buy low” candidate. It literally can’t get any worse from a 1st half perspective, except by another injury. Eventually they will have a game in which they actually score a touchdown in the first half.
