What a wild game. If you'd have told me we held Hutchinson down(I don't know that he did anything of substance) or that we'd protected the QB so well, JOE BARRY would come back out with such a great game plan AGAIN(two in two weeks) I wouldn't have believed you.

I'm mourning the loss of Joe Alt(or at least the cost to move up to draft him)...but damn, it's sure nice to see Love throwing dimes AND still have some room for improvement. Not many, but a few missed plays like that first big play to Watson he didn't put it out in front of him enough, a couple of balls, but overall, just a really nice performance. 

Throwing the ball on early downs and keeping the Lions off balance and then just again, Joe Barry with those different fronts...lining Quay up on the LOS so often and having 5, 6 guys up there, some bailing out. The one play you had 4 guys coming off the left side and Gary dropping in coverage(which resulted in both pressure and an incomplete pass). I'd almost rather pull my own teeth than give Barry praise, but gotta give credit where credit is due!

Half a game behind the Saints got 7th spot in the NFC.

A Seahawks loss wouldn't hurt.

Even more impressive for Love considering who Rodgers was throwing the ball to that year.

Yes! I am also very curious about the Packers record when Mercury is in retrograde and how/why that impacts their performance!

Worst case, you give Love time and he can make most of the throws. 

I do think they need to utilize his legs a lot more though.

A really fun win, can’t say I have enjoyed a win like that in a couple of seasons. Love sticking it to all us naysayers, Gary back on his all pro trajectory, even Watson showing promise again. Schedule really isn’t that daunting the rest of the way, too bad we couldn’t pullout one more of those close games but can’t wait for KC next week. Let’s keep it rolling.

Packers are 2-0 this season with Mercury in retrograde. The Tampa, Carolina and Minnesota games (games 14-16) will also have Mercury in retrograde. If they go 3-0, you may be onto something. If they get a Thanksgiving game next year, it will be another opportunity for a retrograde win.

Suck it, FanDuel! I got a system!

Yeah, it'd be nice if we could have won some of those earlier games, but...that's part of the process. I'm just impressed with how Love pulled this team out of a nosedive. We were trending toward a top 5 pick. In fact, if we lose to the Chargers, I think we'd have been sitting at 4th.

With regard to Watson, frustrating as he may be, gotta remember that he ran fewer routes on pass plays in all of his HS and college career and the 1st year of his NFL career as the 'Bama and OSU WRers that went in the 1st rounds in 2021 and 2022 ran in ONE year of College(I'd assume minus Jameson Williams). That's an Andy Herman stat, so maybe I got it a bit wrong, but...close

So he was raw playing for a small school, but also one that only threw the ball 20 times a game.

Still frustrating how he's so hit or miss, but just something to keep in mind.

Gary may end up the Packer's best homegrown defender since...Butler? Not saying he's passed Matthews yet, but man, he's on that trajectory. Van Ness had such a similar profile coming out, if he ends up just 80% of Gary, that's a young, dynamic pair of edge rushers for the next 7-8 years. 

I've been a Love and Gary fan, but I did not expect Gary to be quite this dominant and I definitely started to question Love(still not 100% sold, but plenty to be excited about).

That HAS to be the thing that stands out the most to this front office.

We have not played great defensive fronts, but when we've been able to slow the pass rush, Love has been great. You say most of the throws, I think he can make EVERY throw. Needs to make the deep throws more consistently, but he's been impressive. 

Again, the KC game with the way they pressure the QB, play Man across the board and send 5-6, it'll be a great test for him. Watson needs to build on his game, Reed needs to play well.
