The Green Bay Packers fell to 5-3-1 on the season after a frustrating 10-7 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) on Monday night. For the second straight game and the third time since Week 3, Green Bay's offense left much to be desired in a loss. Nonetheless, pass-rusher Micah Parsons thinks Packers fans should "r-e-l-a-x" about the current state of the club. Micah Parsons isn't stressing about back-to-back losses "I wouldn't panic at all," Parsons explained, per Brad Crawford of CBS Sports. "The way we just played, we're going to win a lot of football games. ...So I would not panic, I wouldn't stress. We're going to win football games, I promise you." The Packers revealed their season goals when they traded the Dallas Cowboys two first-round draft picks and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark for Parsons in late August. Although Parsons and the rest of the Green Bay defense recorded no sacks in Monday's game, it's notable that the Packers kept the Eagles out of the end zone for more than three quarters of play. However, Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love did not throw any touchdown passes for the second straight game. After the loss to the Eagles, he admitted that he and the offense let the Packers' defense down at Lambeau Field. Micah Parsons not blaming Packers' offense for losses "It's just one of them things like, we gonna win together and we're gonna lose together, regardless of the outcome," Parsons continued. "Being there for our teammates, regardless of who's playing better, which side (of the football) is playing better. When everyone gets rolling, we'll be a really good team." Following Monday night, the Packers would be the NFC's No. 7 seed if the playoffs started later this week. Meanwhile, Green Bay should have an opportunity to rebound when the team plays at the 2-8 New York Giants this Sunday. As of Tuesday morning, ESPN BET had the Packers as 7.5-point favorites. "To the fans, they should have hope," Parsons added. "It would be different if we're getting blown out in fashions, of like, we're in despair. Like, we can't win these type of games...we're very capable of winning these games. We're just not playing to the level that we've set for each other. We're beating ourselves in fundamentals and technique." The Packers will try to avoid shooting themselves in the foot when they face a Giants team that fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday.
