Micah Hyde said it best after the Packers’ latest bewildering loss.

"We’re a below-.500 football team. Facts are facts," Hyde said on Sunday after Green Bay was thrashed, 47-25, by Tennessee. "You can’t argue that. It is what it is."

Yep.

Also inarguable is the fact that the Packers are very badly hurt. They’re a flawed football team, to be sure, and those flaws were openly displayed and exploited by the Titans. But they’re also a very injured team, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to evaluate whether they’re actually as bad as they have looked for the past two weeks, as sub-average as their record suggests or if they have any chance of becoming good again.

Right now, at 4-5 more than half through the season, Green Bay is in third place in its own division and all the way down to 12th in the NFC standings. It’s currently not in the playoff conversation, and it hasn’t played like it deserves to be.

For the second week in a row, the Packers came out completely flat, got behind immediately and had to play catchup the rest of the game. Tennessee took a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, had scored 35 points by halftime and its defense harassed Aaron Rodgers and kept him from getting in a rhythm, recording five sacks and three turnovers. Green Bay has now lost three of its last four games and is under the .500 mark this deep into a season for the first time since 2008.

So how did we get here? Here's everything you need to know, or just forgot, or missed because you’ve given up on the Packers and went to go gloomily rake leaves, plus all kinds of other wacky whatnots, from the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Who starred?

Well, Marcus Mariotta sure did! But this is a Packers column, so I guess we have to pick someone from the Green and Gold. Let’s go with Davante Adams. The third-year wide receiver has indisputably become Rodgers’ most reliable and dangerous weapon over the past month. In the last four games, even including a quiet outing last week, Adams has 35 receptions for 403 yards and three touchdowns. On Sunday against the Titans, he caught six of his nine targets for 156 yards, including a season-high 46-yarder.

Who stunk?

Most of the defense! All of the secondary! But Demetri Goodson was particularly terrible. The third-year cornerback replaced Quinten Rollins, who left with a groin injury, was unable to cover anyone on the left side and made some laughably awful tackle attempts. Rollins, LaDarius Gunter and undrafted rookie safety Kentrell Brice also made minimal positive impact on the game, but Goodson is the pick because he alternated between being invisible and being at fault for major gaffes.

Unsung villain

The Packers were down, 28-10, in the second quarter when rookie Trevor Davis muffed a punt return and fumbled, giving the ball back to the Titans, who scored less than 30 seconds later to go up, 35-10. Rather than continue to cut into Tennessee’s lead – Green Bay had scored a touchdown and a field goal on its previous two possessions – the Packers fell behind by the largest margin of the day. Davis was removed from the punt return role, replaced by Hyde, who later suffered a huge, blind hit and was clearly shaken up. On offense, Davis was targeted just once and didn’t have a catch.

McCarthy score

(Mike McCarthy isn't renowned for his play-calling, having fired and then rehired himself for that role last year, but he does try his best. Here we rate his coaching performance, on a score from one to 10 McCarthy heads.)

For the second week in a row, his squad was not ready to play a football game. Once again favored by the oddsmakers against a seemingly inferior opponent, Green Bay once again played like it deserved to win rather than needed to proactively defeat the other team. The defense is in shambles, largely because of injuries, and special teams is looking worse each week. The offense was better, but if he was active, why did wide receiver/running back Ty Montgomery barely play? The Packers needed his explosiveness and needed a different element to a very unbalanced attack. McCarthy doesn’t seem to have any answers or new plans for turning this sinking ship around. Three heads.

One-word reaction

Yikes.

Dumb #hottake

The Aaron Rodgers window is closed; let the Brett Hundley Era begin.

Good quote

"We’ve been in tough spots before. We’re 4-5. The reality is we have to get healthier, and we have to play better. We have to play better." – Mike McCarthy

Encouraging thing

Hey, the punter was pretty good! After a few concerning performances earlier in the season, Jacob Schum has improved each week and solidified the punting game. On Sunday, he punted four times with an average of 50.5 yards, landing one inside the 20. On a sloppy day where little else went right, Schum at least made people not desperate for Tim Masthay’s return.

Alarming thing

The injuries have become truly distressing. It’s not like guys are breaking their arms or getting concussed every week; these are ankle sprains and hamstring strains – ostensibly somewhat-preventable injuries that continue cropping up and causing setbacks to players like Clay Matthews. What’s in the water in Green Bay? At what point do injuries become a trend and something the Packers are making worse or doing wrong?

Looking ahead

In the midst of their three-game road swing, the Packers next play Sunday in Washington. The Sunday Night Football game is at 7:30 p.m. on NBC. Green Bay needs to win to get back to .500 and stay alive in the playoff race.
