This was the kind of game Jordy Nelson might have had in Week 1, when the Green Bay Packers receiver played for the first time in more than a year after he missed all of 2015 with a knee injury.

Instead, it came in Week 5.

Nelson not only struggled in Sunday night’s 23-16 win against the New York Giants, but he took it hard. Despite a touchdown catch -- his fifth in four games this season -- Nelson appeared downtrodden and took much of the blame for another inconsistent performance by the offense.

"We left a lot out there," a somber Nelson said. "I didn’t help very much in that aspect, so it’s still good to come away with a nice win like that when you know we can do a lot better, especially myself. I didn’t put us in very good situations."

What bothered Nelson most were his two drops -- one that bounced into the hands for Giants cornerback Jarnois Jenkins' interception one play after a penalty wiped out a touchdown to Randall Cobb, and another that killed a third-quarter drive that ended with a punt.

Yes, Nelson had a bad game. But the other guys (Adams and Cobb) stepped up.
And the catch Nelson DID make in the endzone for the TD was something to behold.

I'm GLAD he's upset with himself. I'd rather see that then him be OK with it.
It will make him play even better.

Even if he is a step slower, I think he can still contribute with savvy route running and backs shoulder throws, etc. I think the jury is still out.
