By Mark Eckel If there was a common goal throughout the Green Bay Packers offseason it's that it was all about Jordan Love. Those in power at 1265 Lombardi Ave. watched the Packers first-round loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in last year's playoffs and came away with how to get past, or at least catch, the Super Bowl Champions. And it didn't have a lot to do with defense, not the line, nor the secondary.
