  1. The Chiefs kinda suck though so I don't what the normal Chiefs are. However if the Packers had won 14-13 the narrative would be exactly what you're saying it isn't even if he hadn't played any better. I didn't see the game but I was expecting the Packers to lose by like 25 today. Doesn't sound like Love had much to do with it but it's a really good sign they rose to the occasion and kept it competitive. Indeed, and one of my silver linings for today is that when it really matters they will have Aaron Rodgers and if the defense plays this way they will have a chance at the Super Bowl. But I'm going to totally reverse myself on what I said the other day and say they should trade Love in the offseason if they think there is any iota of possibility that they can get Rodgers to commit to sticking around.
  2. In your own mind maybe. Like 10 days ago you matter of factly stated the Packers ensemble cast was not good enough to even compete with Arizona who was clearly better than they are. You make a lot of these hyperbolic takes. It's not my imagination. I do wonder what some posters here even get out of this whole experience and I'm the last person anyone would call Positive Pete. There's a level of misery among some that seems unchanged win or lose. Jordan Love is fine. As long as he wasn't tripping over himself and throwing 5 interceptions he's fine. It's more likely than not he isn't a 10 year starter in the league but anyone acting like they know the outcome based on what they saw today is overreacting. I don't know how you can say "Jordan Love is fine" when you by your own admission did not even see the game. Jordan Love was bad. There was one drive in which he resembled a professional quarterback and other than that his performance was pretty atrocious and could indeed have resulted in multiple interceptions. Trust me I wanted so badly for Love to have success today and move on from Rodgers and unload him for a haul but there was nothing that he showed today that inspired any confidence in Jordan Love being our QB of the future. If your stance is that just this one game today doesn't make that scenario impossible then I can agree with that but I certainly feel much less optimistic about the chances of that happening than I did 24 hours ago.
  3. I think they thought Love could be that guy. All I heard last year was "well at least at worst we'll have a great backup QB now" I thought he filled that role just fine today. You need your backup QB to come into a game on short notice and give you a chance to win. Today, check. I mean come on. This is akin to saying a starting pitcher that left the game in the 4th with a 6-6 tie gave his team a chance to win. They had a chance to win because the defense played their best game of the season. Any player who can hand the ball off to a RB can keep a team in the game if the defense isn't giving up points. If the Chiefs are the normal Chiefs today the score is 31-7 and the narrative isn't "Jordan gave us a chance." He didn't play well. We all saw it.
  4. I think they thought Love could be that guy. All I heard last year was "well at least at worst we'll have a great backup QB now" when in reality it doesn't work that way and just because you draft a project QB in the 1st round doesn't mean that he will at worst translate into a good backup QB.
  5. He just doesn't look to me like he has that instinctive pocket awareness and the ability to read a defense. The physical tools are there. Tools aren't enough. JaMarcus Russell had tools. I'm not sure you can coach the areas in which Love needs work. I certainly hope to be wrong. But he looks like just another DeShone Kizer to me.
  6. Nah, Love was terrible. He did not look remotely like an NFL quarterback. I'm not saying there is zero hope for him but there's no point sugarcoating it. He was awful. If Rodgers starts today the Packers win running away in spite of their special teams. The special teams may have been "worse" but given that it was probably the worst special teams game in many of our lifetimes that is not saying much. We are really stretching to see something that we liked in Love today and to put it bluntly there was nothing. We were in this game because the defense played incredible. That is the only reason.
  7. Silver lining #1: the NFC North really sucks and this game will be inconsequential to the final division order. Silver lining #2: Aaron isn't going to have COVID in February and January, and a defense that plays like this is good enough to get to the Super Bowl with an Aaron Rodgers led offense, particularly if Jaire is back.
  8. Sure. 3 to 5. Any one of those is possible. Somewhere in there.
  9. I'd probably give Love a 2 or 3 out of 10. Special teams was the real goat of the game. But Love was worse than his stat line will show.
  10. This is the part of the game where the defense usually finally breaks.
  11. That's a walk in TD for Adams if Rodgers is the QB.
  12. Dude. He literally should have 3 or 4 if not for a flat miss by honey badger and Adams breaking up a couple others. Yeah...Love's been bad. He looked good last drive until the pick. ...but he's given Packer fans no reason to be optimistic that he's the QB of the future.
  13. Man this sucks to waste such a great defensive job today.
  14. Yeah, no one said that.
  15. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/11/06/jordan-love-catches-a-break-with-first-start-coming-against-a-bad-chiefs-defense/ Only gets worse from here, Jordan.
  16. Terrible throw, pretty much threw it to the one spot where Davante couldn't win a 1 on 1.
  17. Love has got to get that snap off more quickly. You could see that challenge coming a mile away.
  18. Love showing some signs of competence on this drive. They need a touchdown and nothing less.
  19. Special teams has been atrocious indeed, but the defense is having a fine performance and it is being wasted.
  20. He has 4/46 and a score through 3 quarter. He's not 26 anymore but I hope father time is as kind with me. Bad play from Mahomes hasn't helped this year.
  21. Newman just kills us with big penalties time and time again.
  22. I dunno, I'm not sure they did that. Maybe in that Lions' game on Thanksgiving a few years ago. But other than that their backups just kind of sucked. The Qb play didn't help but my memory is that we suddenly looked like a 4-12 team and were getting beat by other awful teams. The team quit on MM or just wasn't very good to start with. Looks like it is going to fall apart today but the team is at least trying. I remember one game that they started Scott Tolzien and fell down to Minnesota 16-0 and put Matt Flynn in and the team rallied behind him to at least salvage a 16-16 tie. I think sometimes we remember things the way we want to to fit our own narrative (not you specifically, everyone, myself included). But I don't totally disagree, there were some games we just flat out seemed to quit. With that said there have even been blowout losses in the MLF era that felt that way.
  23. I’m not sure even three defensive turnovers would do it at this point. You pretty much need two pick 6/fumble 6s to win this.
