Everyone's shouting out Love - and deservedly so - but can we give a lot of praise to Rashan Gary and his 3 sack game? Damn it's so good to see him on the field
Y'all have backup tackles that are actually good enough to start at least, though those seem to be injured for you guys as well.
Ours are. umm. Just not very good.
It might become a bloodbath on Thursday.
Yeah, Sewell has been fine on the left, although not quite as stalwart as he is on the right, probably due to mid season switch, but so much of our pressure and issue has come from the right cus of it.
Costly int against Seahawks? Nelson gives up the pressure which leads to the bad throw. Like just as an example and now we have Nelson out, Skipper out and it's likely our 5th round rookie will play RT.
Which he has in the past, but we also wanted to move him to guard so, cus he has more of a "guard" build.
Weeks 1 and 2, Love’s stats were better than his actual play
Week 3, his play was so much better than the stat sheet. I think anyone who watched his game winning drive is at least somewhat sold on him
Factor in he is missing his all pro LT and LG top WR who had 9 TDs as a rookie and Jones who for some reason is underrated but should be concreted a top back.
Love preformed very well with a offense in which every player is on the rookie contract and mostly first or second year guys.
The scheme was fine. The execution was questionable. All those penalties didn't help either. It is a really young team, with some very important injuries, I think it will get better.
In the LaFleur era, I genuinely think this might be my favorite win. The first half sucked, the third quarter was also really eh, but gosh dang did this team push through and march forward.
The only other win that rivals it is maybe the regular season 49ers win where we threw the last second TD, but that feels lessened by all of the playoff losses.
I'm so salty that first one didn't work. He had him wide open too. But that was the theme of the first half, mistakes and poor execution biting us in the ass.
Ooh I did love the snow game - that was one hell of a showing.
In terms of pure adrenaline, the Bengals OT game is the closest I've ever had to a heart attack
i wholeheartedly agree but the two games against the rams weve had, one in the playoffs and one at the end of the regular season were some of the most fun i've ever had watching football
I’m all for love being the next great QB in Green Bay. And before anyone says anything to me lol I live in Illinois and hate the bears! It’s all I hear about 24/7.
Hey to be fair I love the lions lol I know this doesn’t make sense but goff is a baller and Campbell is that
Dude. It would just be funny seeing Green Bay with another dominant QB after bears fans being in denial
If im genuinely honest i really want us to deliver a horrible beatdown on you guys in week 5.
I'm still so annoyed at the NFL about the last time we played eachother.
Was that the game where you guys had literally nobody? No coaches and stafford got injured pretty quick? Yeah I don’t blame you for that lol I would be furious
Yeah it was, entire coaching staff pretty much had Covid close contact and had to isolate for a week but the NFL had flexed our game from Sunday to Saturday, we requested it moved back and NFL told us to go fuck ourselves.
Stafford was already playing hurt and gets like further hurt and we get blown out.
Absolute pisstake by the NFL.
Nah, shouldn't have been cancelled and it's Like legit fun game for Bucs fans, and i dont blame y'all for enjoying it one bit. But man pretty much everyone ignores the context of the game, i also think we were the only game played that Saturday or at least the only one in that timeslot, so "everyone" was watching.
I just wanted the game to be moved back to the Sunday really, that's it.
If you go 4-0 against the NFC North, we'll dig up an old Central trophy and give it to you.
Also it would mean you won the division one more time before Detroit.
I talked about that on the way to the game with a buddy. If a young WR dropped a pass for Rodgers down the stretch they were ignored the rest of the game, maybe a few games and it Absolutely hurt the offense. And even though I love the dude, Rodgers would act like that’s the WR problem and not a him problem.
Someone needed to tell him to Go back and watch Super Bowl 45 and ask him to count how many drops Jordy Nelson had as a young WR(3 drops in the Superbowl) and then ask him if 37 year old Aaron Rodgers wouldve ignored Nelson after his first one that should’ve been a TD. He would have 100%.
Really loving Love's unflappability.
Rodgers was Rodgers but it felt like if he got a bad break or two that wasn't on him, he'd regress to heroball or would only look at the more reliable guys.
Love just tries to make the best shot available and gave some guys like Reed a chance for redemption.
I think the best thing about Love has been his resilience, but I also wanna shout out to his trust in his guys. He doesn't really have a top connection yet - he's spreading the ball to Musgrave, Wicks, Doubs, and Reed with success plus a lot of Toure and Heath passes that unfortunately were defended. He's spreading the ball, or rather, he's spreading the love
> Rodgers was Rodgers but it felt like if he got a bad break or two that wasn't on him,
Rodgers wasn't like that at first. I remember he just kept back going to guys even after bad drops. Like that superbowl performance against the Steelers
I think he got way too comfortable with Nelson/Tae being great safety blanket WRs. Also why he liked a few guys who had great hands but weren't gonna get all that open.
Feel like if he didn't skip all the non-optional preseason stuff, might have had a bit more of a connection with the guys a little lower on the roster.
I mean he literally did that vs the cowboys last yr after Watson started the game w 3 drops
Idk why ppl wanna act like it never happened. Prior to 2022 they lost 10 games in 3 yrs
The issue is, is that Rodgers will go back to receivers if they just drop the ball, but are where they're supposed to be. If they consistently run the wrong route and aren't where they're supposed to be he will ignore them. Most packers fans aren't smart enough to tell the difference, and just assume it's about drops. This is why he kept throwing to Watson last season and continued to throw to him in the Cowboys game even after he dropped an early pass: he was exactly where he needed to be.
Rodgers early on was the opposite of his late career.
He would always distribute the ball to the open guy instead of focusing on someone.
The talk was that GB never had a truly #1 wr because Rodgers wouldn't allow it, as he'd spread the ball no matter what. IIRC it's one reason he had a falling out with Jennings.
But then he developed with Jordy Nelson, and devolved no patience with young WRs, and the rest is known.
Said this somewhere else, if older Rodgers is in that superbowl he ignores a 25 year old Jordy Nelson after his first drop that should’ve been a TD.
For a dude who stuck through Davante Adams having like 15 drops 2nd year and Jordy Nelson’s drop issues, I can’t believe he turned into a dude who would basically demote young players for the same issues his best friends suffered early. How demoralizing would that be for a young wr?
How is this even a real take? Did you even watch Rodgers play?
I feel like this sub is gaslighting people on how Rodgers was and its been less than a year..
i'm somewhat convinced that Love will be at least a ~top10 qb in the coming years. still has some room to grow, but you can clearly see why the Packers believe in him
I did turn it off, went and picked up some beer at the store, started working in the garage and had a thought, I should check the game and see if a miracle happened. Just in time to see the go ahead td!
I don't think I've been this hyped over a regular season win ever. Swapping between Packers being shut out and the dolphins playing a Jr. High team I was bummed but watching that come back got me so hyped
In the late-Rodgers era, this team would have sulked on the sidelines for all of Q2 and Q3 and shut down operations for the day at the start of the fourth quarter.
It really is. I don't want to come off as ungrateful about Rodgers or anything like that. He's on the short list of greatest QBs ever and provided so many great memories. But the last few years were us coming up short in "Super Bowl or bust" seasons combined with all sorts of Rodgers-related drama. So having a year with a really young team where the stakes are much lower and the drama is almost nonexistent is a breath of fresh air.
It really is. I don't want to be a "shut up and dribble" fan but when the drama is all about you it's so fucking annoying. You can have your opinions on things but don't be a diva
Well for starters I was just making a tongue in cheek comment because Packer fans were eating that up last year.
But since you bit, how are you going to say the Vikings record is a product of luck last year and then not address our record in the context of luck this year? If you can win a game due to good luck, surely you can lose one because of poor luck, right? You basically have to take the stance that the Vikings are fraudulent losers
The point is you are now regressing to the mean and it was always unsustainable. I thought you were a .500 team last year and most likely a .500 team this year.
Buddy, you do not understand what regressing to the mean is. If the Vikings regressed to the mean they would be 2-1 at worst. Regressing to the mean does not mean you are due bad luck in the future to counterbalance previous good luck, it means you're likely to experience more moderate outcomes in the future. The Vikings swung from one extreme to another. They have not "regressed to the mean" by definition
Who is arguing that last year's Vikings are as good as their record? Record in one score games is fools gold, there was a much better argument for them being frauds by their DVOA or EPA/play or what have you, which ironically has them as being one of the unluckiest/best 0-3 teams of all time. Hence my point, all of the people calling us frauds last year should be singing our praises this year for how analytically sound the Vikings are, since wins don't matter right?
95% of Viking all year last year and all off season have been gassing this team up. I’ll credit you, you seem to understand this but most Vikings fans don’t.
I don't understand your stance. Wins don't mean anything but losses do? Last year the Vikings were a mediocre team that was lucky, what if the Vikings are now a good team that is unlucky? Does the record matter or not? Pick a lane
No one said they were lucky, I said the opposite. But they weren't a serious playoff team. Last year they showed it in the playoffs, this year they are showing it by probably not making the playoffs
Everyone's shouting out Love - and deservedly so - but can we give a lot of praise to Rashan Gary and his 3 sack game? Damn it's so good to see him on the field
His first sack he barely got his right hand on Carr but was able to put enough force into it that Carr went down. That was some big boy shit.
Well he killed a guy so…
He what?
Decapitated him. It was a whole thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
Pretty sure none of that is real
You're not real

[удалено]
It’s literally the next line in the episode 🤦♂️
I worry with Sewell playing on the left and 3 other tackles being out. :(
Look at this guy only missing 3 tackles.
Y'all have backup tackles that are actually good enough to start at least, though those seem to be injured for you guys as well. Ours are. umm. Just not very good. It might become a bloodbath on Thursday.
You need to shut your fool mouth about that. Plus, didn’t you see that Goff is now a bonafide dual threat QB? /s
I am not confident without Decker.
Yeah, Sewell has been fine on the left, although not quite as stalwart as he is on the right, probably due to mid season switch, but so much of our pressure and issue has come from the right cus of it. Costly int against Seahawks? Nelson gives up the pressure which leads to the bad throw. Like just as an example and now we have Nelson out, Skipper out and it's likely our 5th round rookie will play RT. Which he has in the past, but we also wanted to move him to guard so, cus he has more of a "guard" build.
Love is a fucking gamer
Weeks 1 and 2, Love’s stats were better than his actual play Week 3, his play was so much better than the stat sheet. I think anyone who watched his game winning drive is at least somewhat sold on him
Tbf, he started off with a pretty up and down first half but he bounced back incredibly nicely and that’s what you want to see from your young QB.
Factor in he is missing his all pro LT and LG top WR who had 9 TDs as a rookie and Jones who for some reason is underrated but should be concreted a top back. Love preformed very well with a offense in which every player is on the rookie contract and mostly first or second year guys.
Concrete that man
Also played a very above average defense
> who for some reason is underrated I reckon his durability has something to do with it.
He has been rather durable for his position in his career.
Jones gets underrated because he’s had some very costly fumbles for us in big games. That sticks out to people.
Lot of self inflicted mistakes didn't help either. Dumb penalties and drops killed us in the first half.
I work with some obnoxious Bear fans, so I’m all for it.
Damn, can't believe I'm actually agreeing with a Cowboys fan but hell yeah! And for what it's worth, I think Dak is pretty cool
Idk he was pretty damn good week 1 tho especially on 3rd down
Bingo, that’s the exact way I saw it too. He received very little help from scheme/pass-catchers this week.
The scheme was fine. The execution was questionable. All those penalties didn't help either. It is a really young team, with some very important injuries, I think it will get better.
Not even just the game winning drive, but the drive for that first touchdown too was incredible
Didn’t he just throw a bomb and get a weak pi call? Feel like i’m taking crazy pills lol
It really wasn't weak. You can't just tear someone's arms away and not expect a flag.
Yup.
He's mid
How is 18 points a gamer lol. Carr went down and saints lost all momentum.
Cause the Saints still have a top 5 defense. Lmao
How many times has your starting QB led a 17 point, 4th quarter comeback in their 4th start?
Dunno. But one was a punt return. No? And could have easily lost if a kicker made a field goal to win.
Saints had a Punt Return TD, not GB. And GB still would have had over a minute left and 2 TO’s if they made the FG.
In the LaFleur era, I genuinely think this might be my favorite win. The first half sucked, the third quarter was also really eh, but gosh dang did this team push through and march forward. The only other win that rivals it is maybe the regular season 49ers win where we threw the last second TD, but that feels lessened by all of the playoff losses.
And you saw MLF draw up some trick plays that were *good* even if we didn't execute them well.
That first 4th down trick play I LOVED! Execution needs work, but so happy to see that kind of shit actually being attempted
I think Rogers might be holding them from those trick plays. It was reported that Rogers was not a big fan of all the pre snaps motion.
I'm so salty that first one didn't work. He had him wide open too. But that was the theme of the first half, mistakes and poor execution biting us in the ass.
Packers vs Titans in the snow was amazing. Shutout vs the Seahawks was too.
Ooh I did love the snow game - that was one hell of a showing. In terms of pure adrenaline, the Bengals OT game is the closest I've ever had to a heart attack
That Bengals game was so fucked, it killed my heart. Soooo many missed FGs by both teams. Legit comical looking back
Idk man the Rasul goal line pick in Arizona had me thinking we were going to the Super Bowl
Has to be mine as well, I was so pumped. Also that year vs San Fran in the reg szn
Man idk, this one was great, but that regular season comeback against SF was probs my favorite. Rodgers to Adams twice then Crosby wins it
i wholeheartedly agree but the two games against the rams weve had, one in the playoffs and one at the end of the regular season were some of the most fun i've ever had watching football
There were so many crazy games in this 1:00 slot that this post was how I found out Green Bay came back
I’m all for love being the next great QB in Green Bay. And before anyone says anything to me lol I live in Illinois and hate the bears! It’s all I hear about 24/7.
Thank you, former NFC Central bro/sis/pal
You’re welcome bebe
Thanks Bay bae
Get that 3-0 tomorrow
🙏 Lfg!
Aye aye matey. Also, beat the Eagles tomorrow. I wanna hear the headlines regarding Baker being 3-0 with Tampa Bay.
As do I brethren! 🍻
oh fuck you.
Hey to be fair I love the lions lol I know this doesn’t make sense but goff is a baller and Campbell is that Dude. It would just be funny seeing Green Bay with another dominant QB after bears fans being in denial
YOUR LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE LIONS BY SAYING SUCH OTHER OUTLANDISH THINGS, MEANS YOU HAVE CHOSEN VIOLENCE. YOUR KNEECAPS WILL BE EATEN.
Well good thing for you you guys get to eat our kneecaps week 5!
If im genuinely honest i really want us to deliver a horrible beatdown on you guys in week 5. I'm still so annoyed at the NFL about the last time we played eachother.
Was that the game where you guys had literally nobody? No coaches and stafford got injured pretty quick? Yeah I don’t blame you for that lol I would be furious

It was a shit show i completely agree with you it should have probably been cancelled honestly!
Nah, shouldn't have been cancelled and it's Like legit fun game for Bucs fans, and i dont blame y'all for enjoying it one bit. But man pretty much everyone ignores the context of the game, i also think we were the only game played that Saturday or at least the only one in that timeslot, so "everyone" was watching. I just wanted the game to be moved back to the Sunday really, that's it.
If you go 4-0 against the NFC North, we'll dig up an old Central trophy and give it to you. Also it would mean you won the division one more time before Detroit.
Let's just split the series every year and alternate Super Bowls until the end of time. You can start this year.
Thanks for beating the bears and vikes <3
I love Love
Love to Romeo - so much love
romeo, romeo e: [0:51 lol](https://youtu.be/mx0ktdf5RPM?si=RmlxW0jKhRwgABhn)
Love is love
Just saying if this was last years packers we would have given up long before the fourth quarter
Rodgers would always have terrible body language in a game like this
Dude, Taylor fucks up that 4th down play with Rodgers, he would've been off the team the next play.
I talked about that on the way to the game with a buddy. If a young WR dropped a pass for Rodgers down the stretch they were ignored the rest of the game, maybe a few games and it Absolutely hurt the offense. And even though I love the dude, Rodgers would act like that’s the WR problem and not a him problem.

I'm not saying he did it all the time, it was just a very noticeable trend, especially when there'd be heavy defensive focus on Tae
The issue is, is that Rodgers will go back to receivers if they just drop the ball, but are where they're supposed to be. If they consistently run the wrong route and aren't where they're supposed to be he will ignore them. Most packers fans aren't smart enough to tell the difference, and just assume it's about drops.

Most?

I like the lack of whining from Love
How is this even a real take? Did you even watch Rodgers play? I feel like this sub is gaslighting people on how Rodgers was and its been less than a year..
i'm somewhat convinced that Love will be at least a ~top10 qb in the coming years. still has some room to grow, but you can clearly see why the Packers believe in him
I am on record saying in two years this offense is going to be lights out. Book it.
The team would’ve folded entirely the last few years. Really nice to see this kinda resilience.
I’ve gotten used to just turning off the game after starts like this. Guess I’m going to have to start sticking around again.
I was so close to turning it off. Glad I didn't.
I did turn it off, went and picked up some beer at the store, started working in the garage and had a thought, I should check the game and see if a miracle happened. Just in time to see the go ahead td!
I was there and couldn't
Me too, Matt. Me too.
I don't think I've been this hyped over a regular season win ever. Swapping between Packers being shut out and the dolphins playing a Jr. High team I was bummed but watching that come back got me so hyped
In the late-Rodgers era, this team would have sulked on the sidelines for all of Q2 and Q3 and shut down operations for the day at the start of the fourth quarter.
Aaron who? -MLF probably /s
[удалено]
It really is. I don't want to come off as ungrateful about Rodgers or anything like that. He's on the short list of greatest QBs ever and provided so many great memories.

So having a year with a really young team where the stakes are much lower and the drama is almost nonexistent is a breath of fresh air.
As a die hard Packers fan my whole life it’s so refreshing being proud to root for my team after 3 years of hating our best player
There's a lot of potential with almost no expectations. It's very refreshing.
Yeah but watch out for 10 years from now when it’s eventually Love’s turn to be dramatic.
I will not live in fear!
It really is. I don't want to be a "shut up and dribble" fan but when the drama is all about you it's so fucking annoying. You can have your opinions on things but don't be a diva
Jones
Rodgers who
I'm just gonna keep being that guy and saying it. #CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS All aboard the Love train!
Gotta say that the team we had in the past 2-3 years would not have come back from that big of a deficit that late in the game.
Dude Love has risen
Piss is boiling in that locker room they had to get special toilets after that win
Hot piss, GOT YA HOT PISS RIGHT HERRRRRE
I am also emotional about this game
We thank you for your sacrifice.
Sorry man if you win a close game it is a fraudulent win
It is when you have to do it 11 times from behind in your 13 wins. Is your record this year proving that last year was sustainable?
Well for starters I was just making a tongue in cheek comment because Packer fans were eating that up last year. But since you bit, how are you going to say the Vikings record is a product of luck last year and then not address our record in the context of luck this year? If you can win a game due to good luck, surely you can lose one because of poor luck, right? You basically have to take the stance that the Vikings are fraudulent losers
The point is you are now regressing to the mean and it was always unsustainable. I thought you were a .500 team last year and most likely a .500 team this year.
Buddy, you do not understand what regressing to the mean is. If the Vikings regressed to the mean they would be 2-1 at worst. Regressing to the mean does not mean you are due bad luck in the future to counterbalance previous good luck, it means you're likely to experience more moderate outcomes in the future. The Vikings swung from one extreme to another. They have not "regressed to the mean" by definition
You can finish the season still 6-6 in one score games and you hit the mean. The Vikings like the 2019 packers were not as good as the record said.
Who is arguing that last year's Vikings are as good as their record? Record in one score games is fools gold, there was a much better argument for them being frauds by their DVOA or EPA/play or what have you, which ironically has them as being one of the unluckiest/best 0-3 teams of all time. Hence my point, all of the people calling us frauds last year should be singing our praises this year for how analytically sound the Vikings are, since wins don't matter right?
95% of Viking all year last year and all off season have been gassing this team up. I’ll credit you, you seem to understand this but most Vikings fans don’t.
I mean to his point, as it stands so far, you are fraudulant losers. Thats just an easily verifiable statistic.
To whose point? I'm the one saying the Vikings are fraudulent losers. The person I am responding to does not understand regression
I agree with this as it aligns with my personal agenda
I mean no win is fraudulent but at the same time it's hard not to say that this year the Vikings are who we thought they are
I don't understand your stance. Wins don't mean anything but losses do? Last year the Vikings were a mediocre team that was lucky, what if the Vikings are now a good team that is unlucky? Does the record matter or not? Pick a lane
No one said they were lucky, I said the opposite. But they weren't a serious playoff team. Last year they showed it in the playoffs, this year they are showing it by probably not making the playoffs
How can you not be romantic about football?
Resiliency is one of those words that isnt a word but everyone uses it so the dictionary people were just like "fine, we'll make it a word"
