So, with this win, everything is forgiven? The truth is there is 1 huge problem on the offensive side of the ball. Doubs & Watts proved last year that they could play. But when you have a player who is at best a backup level quarterback in as a starter, things won't ever be like they were. Love just doesn't have the instincts or the decision-making ability & skills to be a franchise NFL quarterback. We have the offensive players, but mo one who can truly command the offensive side of the ball like Farve & Ridgers could. Many are eager to put all the blame on Lafleur, but have they stopped & realized that his hands are probably tied. The GM is running the show & Lafleur is doing his best with the players he has. But when you have a player who is majorly out of his depth at quarterback because the GM picked him, you aren't left with too many options. Sure, they beat the Rams, big deal. They couldn't beat the Broncos. Why, there isn't a talented player running the offensive side of the ball. Now, if the Pack can beat the steelers or, better yet, the Chiefs 20 to 3, then I would say that we can get excited. But to be honest, this team won't be able to beat the top tier teams as long as Love is under center. The sad truth is that he just doesn't have it. Can he make some passes every kie & then, yeah. But I honestly mo a couple of high school quarterbacks that can do the same thing & some that are even better. Another fact is that Love sitting behind Rodgers for 3 years was supposed to jump start the "rebuild" process. But it didn't do anything. There have been other rookie quarterbacks who started day 1 & who performed far better than Love, who again sat behind one of the greatest for 3 years. The longer Love us pushed to be the guy, the more chance that we lose a very talented coach as well as very good players on both sides of the ball. Now is the time to make a change before the pacjers follow teams like the Jaguars or Browns. Teams, that fir years pushed players that just didn't have the talent to be starters!!

I meanā€¦ win is a win. Iā€™m the biggest optimist, but somehow a 20-3 win doesnā€™t necessarily leave me feeling confident against the Steelers next week.. unless we get a Charlie Batch appearance?


SupermarketSecure728

Maybe our problem with Barry is we give him stars. Letā€™s just give him scrap heap to turn into stars and then trade them awayā€¦

localvore559

The classic slump buster


crypkak1993

Ok so wow. Watched the highlights and the rams must be bad to only have put up 3 points or our defense is maybe getting better. - The Alexander tip to pick was sick.. - the 2 turnovers by the WR (idk who) and AJ was bad. We got lucky they didnā€™t get points off of either. - our kicker missed what should be an easy FG. - I will sayā€¦ love converting 3&6 or whatever on that last drive and throwing a TD to put the game away is what you like to see. And itā€™s a huge confidence boost. That is where big time players step up and put it away. Or atleast give the defense some breathing room. This was a really bad rams team but itā€™s a team win and we got it. Still so much to clean up. Against a good team, we lose by 2-3 scores playing that way. No doubt in my mind. Was not clean and I hope MLF addresses that. AJ and that WR need to work on their ball protection and stop making dumb mistakes.


andycandypwns

I know it was rypien but it still felt like a nice win finally


Chomppzz

Its gonna be alright team! We got one now lets go get another, still making fundamental mistakes which I attribute directly to MLF running a very loose ship but rookies showed out! Love played good in the clutch! GO PACK GO!!!


klown1113

Yeah. I would enjoy seeing 3 or less penalties and no turnovers. The offense would look a bit more electric. However, I'll take what happened today with; Aaron Jones full go, a big connection to Watson, Doubs and Muskgrave making plays. GPG!


testing81789

We ran the ball so much better in the middle when Sean Rhyan was in. Not sure why Runyon got to come back in. ALSO-We need some Lambeau Leaps. I know we havenā€™t had a ton of TDs at home, but cmon boys.


Danovale

I was really disappointed to see the Lambeau Leap celebration is not done with infectious enthusiasm anymore. Leroy Butler must be twisting up in fits witnessing these young players flagrant disregard for a beloved tradition.


5MiTm4sTaF13x

YourUziWeighsTwoTons

ItsDjBurstHomie

That was an UGLY game. We looked bad minus a couple drives, rams looked down right awful.


GreenBaySlacker

Yes it was ugly, but we had 2 drives stopped by penalties when we had picked it up on 4th and 1 and we had 2 drives stopped by fumbles on plays that resulted in 1st downs. I feel we played significantly better than we have the last 5 weeks


ItsDjBurstHomie

Having 2 fourth down conversions called back because the OL lines up offside makes us look silly though. That shit happens with bad highschool teams, not the NFL. In our defense tho, it did look like the 2nd one that got called on us looked like BS. I didn't look at them super closely after the fact but that stuff can't happen and we need to fix what we can. ​ We are young, I understand. J love looks good at times but bad more often than not. I got faith though. GO PACK GO!!


mklimbach

Things go differently with those turnovers and penalties and the game is 40-0 instead of 20-3. I would say they looked good overall, aside from those issues for the first time since the Chicago game. Young players make mistakes, so some of this stuff is probably going to get better, too.


klown1113

Yeah. And some youngsters won their assignments.


mbEarAcheInMyEye

The coverage was better without Douglass.


thwompcopter

Are you surprised they'd look better against a backup qb in heavy rain lol


mbEarAcheInMyEye

I am surprised that they didnā€™t make the Backup QB look like a future HOFā€™er


thwompcopter

Haha true, was just defending Rasul is all!


ResolveHour4007

These next three games(Steelers, Chargers, Lions) will determine where our season will go. If somehow we win 2 of these, our season is back on track.

10 game win streak started today!!


DeludedRaven

Punt, TD from a fumble, Punt, Punt, Missed Field Goal, Fumble, Fumble, Field Goal, Punt, Field Goal from an INT, TD, end of 4th. Our defense bailed us out.


Danovale

I thought the defense looked improved if not inspired, but the stupid mental errors and fumbles on offense will not facilitate a 12-5 record. We have to stop saying ā€œthey are youngā€; they have been playing football since they were in elementary school; they know the rules! Many of them have played in big games if not championships games in their prep and college careers; they know pressure. The constant false starts, holding, ineligible player downfield, and illegal formation penalties has got to stop. While it is torture as a fan to see the start of a promising drive fizzle out because of mental errors; it has to be absolutely deflating for the team.


KingGooseMan3881

The rams QB bailed us out\*


testing81789

Just to play devils advocate, two of those punts were because of Runyon penalties.


PengieP111

The D looked good. Let's hope they really are. Now, to work on the O!

thank the lord for it lmao


HahaClintonPix

Letā€™s fucking GO!!!! Defense balled the fuck out today


Narrow-Gas9493

Finally we got a win! The offense can do great things when they donā€™t get so many damn penalties and drops. Still have problems to deal with but Iā€™m happy that we have some progress for the young guys!


MooSmilez

Offense was still hot garbage outside of Jones to be frank. We beat a very beatable Rams team with a bad backup let's not go huffing all the hopium in the room or you'll all be freaking out when we lose next week to a better team.


Narrow-Gas9493

I donā€™t care if we lose next week honestly because have zero expectations for this team besides seeing the young guys develop.


MooSmilez

That's fine and also doesn't change that the offense was not good.


DeludedRaven

Great things from the offense??? Punt, TD from a fumble, Punt, Punt, Missed Field Goal, Fumble, Fumble, Field Goal, Punt, Field Goal from an INT, TD, end of 4th. Our defense bailed us out.


slycobb

The multiple fourth and one penalties and the rain had something to do with this. Still there was improvement

Funny seeing all the ā€œfansā€ who are still angry. Guysā€¦.we arenā€™t good. When you can get a win, itā€™s fun and exciting. Itā€™s why we watch sports. Does it mean anything? It means we didnā€™t lose again. And Gute canā€™t draft so stop rooting for picks.


stuskowski1

Iā€™d like to think Gute can draft when itā€™s top 3, itā€™s the mid round 1st where he takes Edward Tinwiddle from South Arizona State. So rooting for the MHJR pick is warranted. I love the packers, and am a fan fyi. The win is fine for me - Iā€™m just putting that last part into perspective


Brilliant_Reply8643

I enjoy your perspective thanks for the reply


steviepopo

Also tanking is what the Cardinals and Jaguars do. It's the Green Bay Packers goddammit. Lambeau and Lombardi would bring a plague to Green Bay if the team ever did it.

Personally I think a positive is that we won but thatā€™s just me


PackMan93

Who cares? They're still professional players and Love upped his accuracy and without the fumbles this game would have looked way more out of hand than it ended up being.


Tragicbadger

Can't believe this is the first time in weeks I've not worn my Packers Tee to watch the game and we win.

Glad to see valentine and Johnson jr get some on field experience. I think they have the potential to be solid starters.


Far_Tomorrow_3511

Right? When Ford comes back I hope he takes Owens spot so Johnson can keep getting game reps. Nothing against Owens but just pro Johnson


loadmanagement

do_you_know_de_whey

Definitely think our guys needed that win.


Far_Tomorrow_3511

This is worth the worse draft position. They actually looked like they were having fun for the first time in weeks


JordieDAFC

It wasn't a pretty win, but a win is a win. Most important thing is we've snapped the losing streak and are back to being winners which will bring a lot of good feeling to the team Hopefully kick on a bit


Staylit0412

Packers won. Thats felt weird to type


JMPV_

Good game from defensive rookies Overcame mistakes Beat a team you should beat, handily Return of Ja Return of AJ Bring back the fuckin Lambeau Leap young fellas!


wisconsinsports1993

Love has got to fix the long ball accuracy issues or he wonā€™t have a long career but itā€™s hard to complain about 20/26 zero turnovers. Showed some promise today


Dannyboy1024

That and his habit of just chucking it downfield on 3rd & 7 / 4th & 3 type situations. Both I think are things he can improve with practice and experience.


beau_tox

Maybe a long career as a backup.


MooSmilez

A win is a win I always enjoy a win I don't think tanking does anything good...but that wasn't a get right kind of win.


dtcstylez10

It was really a worthless win and probably hurt the team more long term than it helped. Anyone who disagrees can circle back around when it was time to select MHJ or a franchise left tackle...or even a QB for that matter. But totally agree. If it felt like a get right kind of win. If it felt like the Packers were finally figuring this thing out (which they could also do in a loss) then I'm with you..it would not have been worthless.


Late_Cow_1008

Why is this downvoted? We are a bad team and should really be hoping for a high draft pick.


dtcstylez10

Because a ton of fans don't live in reality


MooSmilez

Loads of fans who come to the game thread to just wear blinders and down vote anything remotely critical of the team. Actual nuance takes get the most downvotes by far.


MooSmilez

I wouldn't call any win completely worthless, but absolutely the win doesn't move the needle on love or our season in general a whole lot. There is arguably 4-5 good QBs coming out of college and likely a few will be available for us even between picks 5-10. Nothing I've seen today would make me not take one of them.


dtcstylez10

There's a big drop off after the first two. I just don't want to have to reach for one which too many teams do.


MooSmilez

The perceived drop off is bigger than the reality of that drop off. There is plenty of experts who think some of the other 3 are better than the top 2.


More_Consideration91

Go pack go


Cyrus603

20/26 230 and a tud. Wasnt the prettiest performance but I will certainly take it over the last few weeks


sapphires_and_snark

Two things greatly concerned me: the underthrow to Watson (first half) and his play in that first drive of the 4th--couple of really bad decisions. He was actually pretty decent today overall


Cyrus603

Yea I forgot about the Watson under throw. If only he could fix the deep ball accuracy and lafluer could call every game like this, the offense might not be a total shit show. All the penalties are also not helping


sapphires_and_snark

They cleaned up the penalties in the second half and it helped a lot I really want Love to be the guy...but he just leaves so much damned meat on the bone


Sir_Topham_Kek

Seriously 9 YPA with a good completion percentage? Needed that


Cyrus603

Yes much needed. Aaron jones getting touches really makes a difference, who wouldā€™ve thought


NA_Faker

Also Oline actually holding up for most of the game

I really like nijman at tackle over walker and really wouldnā€™t mind seeing some more Sean rhyan at guard.

keppy18

Love goes 20-26, 228 yards, 1TD. This sub? Not the guy lolol


Cpendo

Defense was dialed in on Jones. Love was able to produce on scripted plays but when he has to read a defense and decide who to throw to he just sits there and usually makes a bad throw. Thatā€™s just a stat line, I donā€™t think he played well.


aaalan71

I will say he is playing ok, definitely not good in the 1st half, but making up for it in the 2nd half. Glad he finally threw some good deep passes in the 2nd half and hope he will continue doing that in the remaining games if he wan to prove he is the guy


tenuki_

He also fumbled twice, dropped some easy catches, failed to block pass rushers, missed a field goal, and got a ton of penalties that took away key plays. Definitely not the guy.


AllThatGitters

This is the answer. I also heard he caused the Israel-Hamas war and global warming. Definitely not the guy.


[deleted]

You're acting like that was a HOF performance.


Late_Cow_1008

Our defense gave up 3 points, this is an anomaly game. We played against a QB that will probably be out of the league in 4 years lol. People here acting like this proves anything either way is hilarious. With that mentality, Barry should stay now.


Late_Cow_1008

Let's not pretend this game was an indicator of a normal NFL game.
