GREEN BAY, Wis. — Sunday’s 34-20 loss to Tampa Bay at Lambeau Field did more than drop the Green Bay Packers to 6-8.

It brought questions about defensive coordinator Joe Barry to the forefront.

The Packers’ defense made Baker Mayfield look like a superstar. The first visiting quarterback to have a perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field. It opened in 1957. Mayfield passed for four touchdown passes and 381 yards.

This was Mayfield. Yes, he was the first pick in the NFL Draft. But the Bucs are his fourth team already; Cleveland, Carolina, the Los Angeles Rams and now Tampa Bay.

There’s a reason he’s bounced around.

Not to excuse the Packers’ offensive inconsistency, but allowing 34 points to a Tampa Bay offense that is among the NFL’s worst is unacceptable. That’s why Barry finds himself in the crosshairs of so many.

After the Packers upset the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs to get to 6-6, there was so much optimism.

Now, after losses to the New York Giants and Bucs, the 6-8 Packers might still be in playoff contention, but disappointment is the mood of the day.

Three games remain for the Packers. Road games against Carolina and Minnesota and then a season finale at home against the Chicago Bears.

If you win out, nine wins would be an improvement from last season. Eight wins might get you in the playoffs.

After the last two weeks, I know playoffs are far from many people’s minds. This week will probably be about Barry. The sky was gray on Sunday. So was the mood after the Packers’ loss to Tampa Bay.
