Game 2: Commanders at Packers - Thursday, Sept 11 7:15 PM

[HarveysWBs]

Wicks on the hands team made me a little nervous for a split second there, but he handled it perfectly.

September Thursday night games tend to have that effect....will be thrilled with a W...

 

have we heard on Reed?  is it shoulder or collarbone??

[adambr2]

Hard to complain about much, but pretty disappointed with what we’ve seen from Golden. Invisible in Week 1 and followed it up with a goose egg even with Reed sidelined. Not ideal.

Offensively kind of a ho hum second half

[yourout]

They were offsides by about 3 yards

Doesn't help when Love misses him on a 90 yard TD.

Yeah — but when your QB threw for 300 yards you’d like to think your starting WR that you took in the 1st round would have a notch on the stat sheet.

No, he definitely missed him. He’s on the good, not great tier of QBs until he starts improving his accuracy.

Love puts an extra quarter second of air under that deep ball and he'd have had a 96 yd TD.

The huge game from TEs took alot of throws away from the WRs tonight - Doubs also had a pretty quiet game absent that 1st qtr TD

Unfortunately that’s been a criticism of Love for basically his entire career - deep ball accuracy isn’t there.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I don't know if it's just because I'm seeking Parsons out but it sure looks he gets held on almost every damn passing down. 

[adambr2]

Nice way to finish up definitely. Nice win.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I am not too worried about Golden but I didn't anticipate him having more than like 700 yards this season. He looks explosive and gets open. He will have his time.

He certainly did on that fourth downplay holy crap.

Effort once the game was kinda put away has been... a little less enthusiastic. 

No Parsons. There were plays with 9 Packers in pursuit and getting to or near the ball. 

Just a... dull ending after 27-10.

It's also super early - if Reed misses significant time Golden's role is going to expand more in this offense....Musgrave getting multiple catches tonight to go along with a monster Kraft game - it's just limiting WR targets in general over the 1st 2 weeks.

 

GB's at its most dangerous offensively when the ball is getting spread around....Golden will have some huge games this season when he gets more opportunities.

Under threw him in the end zone on the first drive which should have been a TD as well. 

[adambr2]

Packers allowing only 15.5 PPG and it’s a pretty hollow 15.5 PPG. Lot of garbage time, loose late clock control type defense.

[HarveysWBs]

Who knows what Detroit and Washington look like later in the year—maybe they’ll be down and these wins look pretty mid in hindsight. But these are definitely two you have circled on the schedule in August, with all our historical issues getting going early in the year, and going up against two teams in five days with a combined 27 wins last year. And to not only win but look clearly superior in both is a really encouraging sign.

Great start to the year, and still plenty of room to grow. Get the o-line healthy on the mini-bye and keep it rolling now.

Rookie WRs just don't really do much, even 1st round picks, even ones that end up great.  Its why you need to have some ready to step up over time and not go 8 years without investing in the position.

Yeah, factor in that insane one-handed TD grab in Week 1 garbage time, too.

[HarveysWBs]

Oh, and speaking of games I’ve got circled: 12/7. If we’re hitting Jayden Daniels this hard, I can’t wait to see the hurt this front can put on Caleb Williams

[adambr2]

I am not really worried about Golden. He looks skilled. I am just not sure how great of a fit he is in an offense with a QB that is known for deep ball accuracy issues.

Love missed some wide open post throws which was not good.

Not really as true as it used to be. They contribute pretty often now and sometimes as bona fide stars. I am not expecting that out of Golden, but we shouldn't be waiting until his 4th year in the league for him to do something either.
