I think they are close to the same team on paper with the major difference being that Love looks like the potential next big thing and their guy is Jared Goff. As we know all too well there are more positions than QB though. Personally I feel that GB is better positioned for long term success than DET, almost solely because of the QB position.
-
Lots of guys were 1st overall picks. Goff was throw in to make Stafford's salary work out. He's had a nice second wind in DET. He's good, he's ok. He's probably not a top 10 QB.
-
Ehhhh, I am not as sure. Goff is Goff. This was probably his best season. But he's the kind of guy totally capable of a 20/12 season at random. I could totally see them looking for a new QB in two years. Honestly, I don't think they thought they'd get this out of him when they traded Stafford. Regardless of how these playoffs unfold, I think plenty of odds makers will have GB as the favorite.
-
FWIW I think Maholmes runs away with it and I think he would have had the Packers made it. Yeah the Packers did beat DET and KC but this would have been a completely different situation. They could have, but I wouldn't have thought either the NFCCG or SB to be gimmes. That said, you're correct, exactly what I was saying last week amid all the "they're so young!" positivity. This year turned out to be a chance as good as any other they've had since 2010. In the end, they lost a game they dominated most of the night and the squandered gifts in their lap were the reason it was close.
-
If the Lions win this game they certainly deserve it. Scoring inside the 20 and catching interceptions, two things the Packers couldn't do. Oh, and Purdy stinks. The guy is such a fraud.
-
Lions so much tougher than us inside the 15 offensively. Didn't feel like we could ever hammer it in. And I thought I could do it, but I can't get myself to hope the 49ers win.
-
Yeah I'm still not seeing how this relates to the fact that right now, today, his job is what it is, and we're talking about potentially being an NFL DC. My sole point is that if he had some highly desired position right now, it stands to reason that he would have an incentive to stay where he is. That is why his current position is relevant. If he were the Badgers HC, he's not even in the conversation. I'm confused as to why this is a controversial point.
-
Correct, we don't know that. We do know that JL pulled out of the job because he loved UW and wanted to be there. By that time, early 2021, the whispers were going around that Chryst's seat was getting warmer. He ended up fired in the fall of '22. It's fair to suggest JL had no idea if his chance to be a HC there would be any time soon, but safe to say he badly wanted the job and he had to know that some boosters were already growing tired of PC. I'll be the first to say I don't have a clue about JL or what he would want to do in the NFL. Personally I am hoping they snag someone with very recent NFL pedigree. I'm always sort of ambivalent about their unit's ranking and team success as I think so much of that is player personnel. I just hope they get this right because it could get them to a Super Bowl in the next 2 seasons.
-
Is that a real question? I think his current position, and anyone's current position, is valid to a potential job offer. I think it's quite a bit easier to move him from assistant Illinois to GB DC vs, he's a HC at Iowa (or a DC at UW) and we want him to DC. Weird question. On point 2, I think that's pretty disingenuous. Maybe Leonhard was naiive, he probably was, but I think it was pretty obvious that one reason he turned down GB the first time was that he thought he was being groomed to run the show at UW. Safe to say that when they didn't bring him on after interim duties that he was heartbroken. And I couldn't care less about UW or JL, it's just reality.
-
I just can't believe anyone would prefer Illinois assistant whatever he is to NFL DC. I guess someone would, but I wouldn't understand why. WI turned its back to him, GB would give him a fast track to NFL HC if he wants it.
-
Giannis scribbling plays on paper during a game. Players calling their own plays in crucial moments.
-
I'm not too happy about Rivers getting the gig but I guess he does have a lot of experience around superstar players and carries some clout.
-
Unpopular zany opinion: the best available coach is Bud. If they had simply not fired him and gotten Lillard that would have solved one of Bud's biggest problems. I realize this would never happen, but I don't think it's any less true.
-
I think that's a stretch. I do think there were larger culture issues happening most likely, but their defense isn't bad, it's nonexistent. It's like they can't play a game without giving up 130 points. To say defense wasn't in the top 5 reasons is just silly. It was probably the #1 on-court factor. There are also like 15 black coaches in the NBA. That bridge has been crossed for quite some time now, not like this is baseball or even football. Everyone watching this team can tell they look lazy and soft. That is a direct reflection of a coach, whether it's Xs and Os or they don't like the guy. He had to go regardless of pigment.
-
The standard is championship or bust and he was 100% not going to get them there. Outstanding shrewd move. They may not get there anyway but they were absolutely not doing it with him.
-
On Barry, I have to wonder if Jim Leonard is available and if that matters to MLF. Leonard probably regrets not taking that job given what happened at UW. Would he really rather be senior analyst at Illinois over NFL DC? I'm not a UW fan so I don't care all that much but that's the first name I thought of.
-
They like Wilson. He had a strong preseason and showed potential as a home run threat. Had an 80 yard run and a bunch of long gains. It took forever to play because of the protection duties. I think he's really likely to be on the team next year.
-
We're neutral on the Lions because they suck. They win a Super Bowl and you will not only know a lot more Lions fans, but they will be louder than you imagine. I remember when the Patriots were benign. It's probably a generational thing, but to be honest, the Bears don't even register on my hated teams list. I absolutely hate the Seahawks and always cheer for their failure. I was at the Fail Mary and I've never got over how douchey the fans are. Throw in 2014 and it's a recipe for lifetime hate.
-
The 49ers-Packers monkey is honestly a pretty lame story in my opinion. The Packers have been a heavy underdog in every single game but one. Both Kaepernick games they had no business winning and very nearly did win one of them. The NFCCG was thought to be a laugher and it was. The only one the Packers really, truly blew was the blocked punt fiasco. But every other game including Saturday's, has been a game nobody really gave the Packers a chance to win. That said, I'm sick of losing to them, but I think I've come around to hoping they win the NFC. I think Packers fans are forgetting just how annoying it is going to be if there's a healthy franchise in our division. Nobody my age (late 30s) has seen an NFCN foe play in a Super Bowl outside of the Grossman Bears losing and Tampa at the turn of the century (I think their first year out of our division). I really don't need to see the Lions win a Super Bowl. If there's a silver lining right now it's that the Packers can't get knocked out by Detroit. I don't really care for anyone left. I guess the Chiefs winning again is whatever, no harm, no foul. Not a huge Harbaugh fan but I guess I'd prefer either AFC team.
-
They have to keep Jones but they also need to use an early pick on a RB. He is pretty likely to miss time and at the age where RB drop off a cliff overnight. An elite RB is Love's best friend going forward. I would love for us to have a stud in waiting there instead of taking flyers on low-rated talent. I get that RB is treated how it is but there is such a huge difference in having a top talent guy vs. what most of the league does.

Divisional Round: Packers @ 49ers - Saturday, Jan 20th 7:15pm (Fox)

I don't know about that. He definitely was horrible in the 4th and hit some great throws prior to that, but he did seem a bit jumpy and off throughout the night. His first INT was also a bad throw behind the target which caused the bobble. He had a couple to that flat too that were way off. Not horrible through 3 quarters by any stretch and I thought he was "good" at half, but his 2nd half was meh. -
I honestly thought their offensive line was magnificent last night. That is not some crappy front they were up against and they ran great and usually had time to throw. You never have too many OL so by all means draft some. But they also need secondary help, even with the established players they have, some may be gone or gone soon, never healthy, etc. That and a kicker. On paper there is a lot to like in most other spots but as we know too well the game isn't played on paper.

Purdy is a very good game manager type. Nothing I saw last night changed my mind. He was Green Bay Santa Claus and we returned all the presents. He sucked worse than Love did. -

While you are absolutely correct, it is hard to mentally separate the two as a fan. Random teams seem to plop into the Super Bowl routinely. The Packers meanwhile, are always good enough to do that, they just never do it. -

The Packers have been making youthful mistakes with old guys for 13 years. Youth excuse works this year by coincidence. They got hot at the right time and had a great opportunity. I can't as easily assume they will "be back." And I'm usually glass half full rational. But I just can't stand the way this team continually loses in January - specifically the ways in which they do. I'm not kidding when I say that my mindset after the Jones run was that they had to get 6 or they were 100% going to lose. It is just built into my DNA at this point. You just know they won't finish.
