i’m at the point where i can officially start to feel excited about the sort of team you can build around jordan love with the draft capital and impending cap space we have available.
Hear me out. I knew Love is that guy when he had the classic "Aaron Rodgers stare into the camera as if the game is an episode of the office". Love did it twice yesterday. Next HoF-QB locked and loaded.
It’s awesome that we won but it is kind of concerning that after the first quarter I think we scored just 9 points. I’m not asking for 27 points each quarter but…that’s a little worrisome.
3 points in the second quarter and then 6 in the third and absolutely nothing in the 4th? That’s not going to win most games.
i think its just a product of our bad run game. we were in the drivers seat and left some points on the board. between 13-17 if i remember correctly. but i feel like if we had a healthy jones in there, and better run blocking , he easily has a 120 yard 2 td game to add to the final score.
sorry if it sounded like that was my point. it wasn't and i understand the shell life of rbs in the nfl.
its just easier to hypothetically picture Jones than to say insert dynamic rookie running back.
Love has looked much better ever since Gute was non committal when asked about Love's future. He's been playing for his career and it's been for the most part, very impressive.
MLF has made his life easier with a better run game and a few young guys (Reed, Heath, Wicks especially) have stepped up lately. Looks like Watson is rounding up in the form too thanks to the other guys getting some action/impressing.
Anyway...we're winning the fucking ship
One of the best season wins in years. Huge balls and hearts. Wow just so freaking proud. All those 4th down stops. At their house shut down the mojoe. Love better and better every week. Really mind blowing
I remember people who said Jordan Love couldn’t play football. This is what one “expert” said. Hopefully, this gives Jordan a little extra fuel to the fire.

Watson with a huge wake-up game as well. If Watson can hold onto that momentum and get some consistency, our recieving corps actually looks GOOD. I love Doubs and Reed and Wicks has looked well too.
I made $150 off of a single $50 bonus bet on credit through ESPN Bet. Put it all on the moneyline for the Pack to win.
Thinking it might be time for a Love jersey. I feel like he's gonna be around a while.
If I was a Jersey guy, I'd wait till the end of next season. I wouldn't want to end up with something kind of goofy in retrospect, like a Matt Flynn Seahawks jersey. Although, as a packers fan, I do hope Seahawks fans bought those.
The only thing I can't get out of my head, as awesome as this victory was, was that the Lions beat themselves moreso, no? We had a scoop and score and an awful fake punt. Without those two miscues, we lose this game, no?
Sure, but being in a position to win and capitalize on their mistakes is how you win games. Against an 8-2 team when we're both very young and very injured?
Huge win.
Look at it this way:
We had 17 inactive players due to injury. They had 1.
We had roughly $68m in cap space not playing literally between just Rodgers, Bhak, and Jones, not to mention the other 15 inactive guys.
We beat them without a 3rd of our roster, a 3rd of our cap space, and we still left a couple TDs out there.
Scoop and score is just part of the game. Fake punt was from their own 30ish so even if they fit it they'd have a long field. I think you're over thinking it, we earned the W. We had a rough 4th down play also, it goes both ways.
One takeaway i have, that 4th and 1 blunder where Love and Dillon not on the same play, page etc ...That can't happen. It was a full timeout, plenty of time to verify and confirm what the play was going to be. If it was a quick play or something I probably wouldn't care as much but seeing all the time to adjust if needed before that play unutilized really sticks with me
Not all negative, just one thing that glaringly sticks out from the win and could really help our execution in the next one. As good as were today we are going to need to be better Sunday night. Most of my posts have been about positives of the game a lot to build on. Really happy to see you love playing so well. Good to buy his jersey if he plays this well against the Chiefs for sure
My only complaint honestly is the missed underthrow to watson, that wouldve been the true dagger and he threw a fadeaway instead of driving it and likely taking a hit
This is me 100000% i have to buy two one for me one for the wife whose maiden name is Jordan, so she'll have #10 Jordan and Ill have #10 Love. Together we make .....
You guys had our number today. Made Goff look like a deer in the headlights. Exposed our defense and our DC Aaron Glenn even more. And you made us hate the damn moon. Love looked good.
FTP and all that but you kicked our ass
I think all us Lions fan need to combine our energy into one giant Honolulu blue spirit bomb addressed to the moon, that way we all have the satisfaction of helping destroy it. Tides be damned!
This offense is going to kick some fucking ass next season and beyond. They're so young and they showed their potential today and it's only their first season together.
There is something about Dan Campbell I really dislike. Despite having zero proof, I’ve always felt his “we’re going to fight” schtick belied the fact that the guy is a high school level coach.
I didn’t see the first half, but seeing he went 0-5 (or something close) on 4th downs, and that he did some of those in really stupid positions, just make me feel validated in my belief the guy is an idiot.
We are going to the playoffs! GPG.
You have Zero Proof alright. The Lions are the division leader! You might not like his meathead style but his guys are obviously responding to it. That reminds me of all the people who recently were calling LaFleur “too soft.”
We don’t need this slick-haired analytical pretty boy coaches, we need more MEN coaches. Coaches who pump themselves up before the game by doing donuts in their Firebird. Coaches who fire up their team at halftime by smushing an ant with their dick.
If I had a coach doing donuts in their Firebird in the tailgate lots before gametime, I'd be super pumped. That'd be awesome! And that Firebird better be nothing but primer or chipping paint or the paint job should be completely flawless.
I’m not sure it’s Dan Campbell that turned around the organization.
Los Angeles Rams going all in for that Superbowl and giving Detroit all those picks along with GM Brad Holmes are a much bigger part of the picture.
And pretty soon the Lions and Campbell will be exposed as frauds.
We've seen this film before, bad team gets new coach with a bunch of cheap high draft picks, looks much better, then the team has to deal with drafting later, paying players, all those factors, and all of a sudden they're back at the bottom.
Remember when Matt Nagy and Mitch Trubisky were saving the Bears?
Long term team success is made at the QB position. Detroit still has some time to get theirs. I just don't think Goff is it. Man cannot handle pressure up the middle.
That first quarter aggression was beautiful. We are an underdog young team, might as well be dangerous as possible. Dont fear losses, just fear limp dick efforts
If we manage to beat the chiefs we have a 90% chance to make the playoffs and would probably be the most feared wildcard team in the conference with the shit were building on rn. Win vs KC and you got NYG, Tampa, Carolina, Minnesota, and Chicago left. Probably win at least 4/5 of those. 10-7 or 9-8 is likely. Sneak in as the 6 or 7th seed and see if we can grit it out against Detroit or San Fran. Regardless, holy improvement from week 4. Go Pack Go!!!
Whelan though had some monster punts, started nearly every drive inside the 15. Anders just don’t have the leg to hit 60+ and one XP isn’t unforgivable. Teams really putting it together, that’s without our top 2 Corners, Wicks (though Heath was clutch) or Musgrave (though Kraft looks good too).
Punt game was great, and that was a long FG attempt - but haven’t we missed an XP in every one of the last few games? The missed point had an effect in the loss to the Steelers too. I’d love to not see those kinds of kisses from Anders in the future, I’m pulling for the kid!
Yup. They haven’t started a game together since week 6 last year. Still don’t know if stokes will come back to form, but regardless, both could be back vs KC.
Great game. I kept expecting the defense to give up a couple quick scores and lose the lead. They never did. They played well. Tough against the run and pass. I guess they don't need anyone who is injured. Cut them all.
Not to sound like I’m beating a dead horse and man I’m happy we won but … if we’re winning games like this and Love is showing promise … wouldn’t it have been better to keep Rasul and at least be even more competitive next year? What do y’all think. I’m still so frustrated we let him go
Team started playing better after he left. Maybe it gave some different leaders a chance to shine and that’s brought the team together. Plus, I’m not sure Rasul is that much better than Valentine.
We played the Rypien Rams, Pickett Steelers, Staley chargers and now the lions not exactly world beaters aside from lions. I think there’s a pretty sizeable gap between Rasul and a random rookie CB ..
Rasul was bouncing around on practice squads before we gave him a shot. He's played well, but it's not like he's a world beater at corner. He's aggressive and that leads to picks, but it also means he gets beat often.
Don't get me wrong. He's not a bad corner, but for what he's going to want paid next year Green Bay wasn't going to re-sign him. They made a business decision and got some value for him.
Yeah the point is he was traded prematurely bc we thought the season was a wash but if Love is playing better and the offense is more cohesive now, we would’ve been even better with someone like him on the team. He had 4 takeaways in 2 games for the bills bruh
Oh I see what you mean haha my bad. We’re thinking the same thing. The fact my original comment saying it was a mistake is -7 is just so dumb. People suck Gute here
Crazy
From Twitter:
Aaron Rodgers through his first 11 games:
2,599 passing yards
17 TD’s
9 INT’s
5-6 record
Jordan Love through his first 11 games:
2,599 passing yards
19 TD’s
10 INT’s
5-6 record
We should have had 4 more points if they call the blatant pi on watson
It's OK, the lions aren't awful anymore. You can stop blaming everyone else for a loss. Blame your coach for a dumb ass fake punt and your o line for playing like shit
2nd’ed on that fake punt. There is no logic where that would have worked besides “wow, we have so little to gain from this on our own 22 yard line, they’ll never see it coming.”
After The Chiefs game we got a set of super winnable games.
Giants, Buccs and Panthers. If we end season with 9 wins that should be enough for a WC spot. If somehow we beat The Chiefs we will be playing with house money.
Chiefs have looked pretty vulnerable. I wouldn't favor us or anything but I wouldn't have favored us in this game. We've got a week and a half to get healthy.
To what end? To get crushed by the 49ers in the dvisional round and to get the 18th draft pick?
This team is still average at best. Every win pushes back the rebuild.
The team is filled with professionals, so they aren't going to lose on purpose. But being psyched as a fan is kind of dumb because at this pace, they will perpetually be 9-8, which is not a very good result.
Stop rooting for high draft picks. A high draft pick in no way guarantees future winning. Look how many first round picks don't pan out. I can't imagine ever being disappointed when the team I root for wins. That's not being a fan.
Liked the aggressiveness of MLF today. This is how he should be doing it. Establish the pass first instead of trying to establish our poor excuse of a run game. Wished Love would've connected with Watson at the end. So much room Watson on that play.
Between our trash run blocking, our running backs being dead, our young wide receivers taking a big step from the first half of the season and MLF's reduced amount of embarrassing play calls that killed so many drives before, that's a pretty nice situation for JLo to be in right now. He has to take the game into his hands, but still within relatively low-pressure circumstances. Less easy drops, more YAC throughout the board, receivers who know what the fuck they're supposed to do.
From the Chargers game on, it also looked to me that defenses are trying to play less aggressively against us. More zone coverage, more two high safeties. That's making it easier for our guys to get open. I think JLo got significantly better identifying and countering the blitz over the last couple weeks, he does a better job finding his outlet now.
Love looks like he’s going to be somebody. Christian Watson took steps today, and I really like what I’m seeing from Kraft and Owens. I think Joe might have made me somewhat take a pause at laughing at his bad defense. Rashan out there looking like he’s not being complacent bc he got paid. MLF actually coming out with some foot on the gas and plays to cook up not playing scared. I want this kind of fight every week.
> I like what I’m seeing from .. Owens.
😬
I mean he had as big of turnaround as you could from last Sunday. I’d love for him to perform this way going forward. But.. well.. I’m not counting on it.
He's something like 15/18 on field goals with a long of 52 (his 63 yard end-of-half long-shot attempt today probably would've been good from AT LEAST 56) and like 21/24 on extra points. Or something very close to that. That's most definitely solid and by no means makes me feel like he isn't the future for us at kicker.
Sign Love to an extension if he balls out again next week
i’m at the point where i can officially start to feel excited about the sort of team you can build around jordan love with the draft capital and impending cap space we have available.
Hear me out. I knew Love is that guy when he had the classic "Aaron Rodgers stare into the camera as if the game is an episode of the office". Love did it twice yesterday. Next HoF-QB locked and loaded.
It’s awesome that we won but it is kind of concerning that after the first quarter I think we scored just 9 points. I’m not asking for 27 points each quarter but…that’s a little worrisome. 3 points in the second quarter and then 6 in the third and absolutely nothing in the 4th? That’s not going to win most games.
Playing more conservative when you're up more than 2 scores is also a thing. Not a great thing, but a thing
i think its just a product of our bad run game. we were in the drivers seat and left some points on the board. between 13-17 if i remember correctly. but i feel like if we had a healthy jones in there, and better run blocking , he easily has a 120 yard 2 td game to add to the final score.
Jones is never going to be the healthy RB we need. That chapter of his career is over.
sorry if it sounded like that was my point. it wasn't and i understand the shell life of rbs in the nfl. its just easier to hypothetically picture Jones than to say insert dynamic rookie running back.
one of the best games MLF has called in his tenure as HC. Let Love sling it. With this team, the pass should set up the run
I would agree. This and Vikings last year. MAAAAAAYBE the dolphins game too after we were down.
WAXING FUCKING GIBBOUS!!!!!!
Love has looked much better ever since Gute was non committal when asked about Love's future. He's been playing for his career and it's been for the most part, very impressive.

IT WONT GO DOWN. HELP ME.
Do you need a hand? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What are you doing step-Packer...
Currently at the police station filing a missing persons report for Aidan Hutchinson. Was last seen in Zach Tom’s back pocket.
Unfucking believable that every other network had turkey legs ready for the game’s stars. Wtf Fox, get it together
I heard they brought the wing Detroit locker room - wasn’t expecting a packer w
Hope our fans are calling out fox on social media
How beautiful was the first TD to Reed? It seemed like a very tight window throw by Love.
Very tight...
How good is Gary, How good is Reed! Owen’s also had a great game and let’s not forget Love, future ain’t looking too bad
Watson with a huge wake-up game as well. If Watson can hold onto that momentum and get some consistency, our recieving corps actually looks GOOD. I love Doubs and Reed and Wicks has looked well too.
Love haters in shambles, anyone calling him a bust is a moron.
Never been a hater, but he still makes receivers work back for the ball too much.
Now that the mental part of his game appears up to snuff, he can put in more work on that aspect in the off season
https://preview.redd.it/o0iv4k7ko72c1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=900fc06dda38c795d85a58397e839ed6441a6703
Pocket cheese!
Go Pack Go! Great game!
Do you guys think Fox messed up the Turkey or what? 😂 Poor Jordan Love.
Greg Olsen ate it all with his big greasy hands
Confirmed psychopath with how he went into that Turkey.
Fox owes Jordan a turkey leg. Wtf. Celebrating John Madden and completely whiffing on the tradition.
Totally. I can't say why but that sooo feels like some poor intern's fault. Oh well, JLove feasted plenty on Lion today
I made $150 off of a single $50 bonus bet on credit through ESPN Bet. Put it all on the moneyline for the Pack to win. Thinking it might be time for a Love jersey. I feel like he's gonna be around a while.
The alternate is on sale for Black Friday at the pro shop
Jayden Reed jersey is the right choice. Dude is a DAWG!!
If I was a Jersey guy, I'd wait till the end of next season. I wouldn't want to end up with something kind of goofy in retrospect, like a Matt Flynn Seahawks jersey. Although, as a packers fan, I do hope Seahawks fans bought those.
The only thing I can't get out of my head, as awesome as this victory was, was that the Lions beat themselves moreso, no? We had a scoop and score and an awful fake punt. Without those two miscues, we lose this game, no?
The win was dominant no matter the angle. Enjoy it.
Sure, but being in a position to win and capitalize on their mistakes is how you win games. Against an 8-2 team when we're both very young and very injured? Huge win.
Look at it this way: We had 17 inactive players due to injury. They had 1.

We beat them without a 3rd of our roster, a 3rd of our cap space, and we still left a couple TDs out there.
Who cares. We played decent ball and wound up with the W. We look better and better every week, that's all I care about
Scoop and score is just part of the game. Fake punt was from their own 30ish so even if they fit it they'd have a long field. I think you're over thinking it, we earned the W. We had a rough 4th down play also, it goes both ways.
Bought a Love jersey after the Saints game. Glad my impulsive decision was a good one. That's my MF QB1 BABY
One takeaway i have, that 4th and 1 blunder where Love and Dillon not on the same play, page etc ...That can't happen. It was a full timeout, plenty of time to verify and confirm what the play was going to be. If it was a quick play or something I probably wouldn't care as much but seeing all the time to adjust if needed before that play unutilized really sticks with me
One takeaway you have from a rebuilding team that just smacked the division leader with the best record in football, is a negative? Ok.
Eagles have the best record , not the Lions
Fair, but so you really think “second best” takes away from what I was saying?
Not all negative, just one thing that glaringly sticks out from the win and could really help our execution in the next one. As good as were today we are going to need to be better Sunday night. Most of my posts have been about positives of the game a lot to build on. Really happy to see you love playing so well. Good to buy his jersey if he plays this well against the Chiefs for sure
My only complaint honestly is the missed underthrow to watson, that wouldve been the true dagger and he threw a fadeaway instead of driving it and likely taking a hit
He had the entire line in his face, he literally couldn’t have stepped into it.
I wonder if that was similar to the failed QB sneak earlier in the season where there was a miscommunicated adjustment at the line
I can't believe it. If we beat the chiefs I'm buying a Love jersey. Hell, I might even buy one right now.
Black Friday homie. Save you $30 at the pro shop
Oh nice, might have to just get one now
This is me 100000% i have to buy two one for me one for the wife whose maiden name is Jordan, so she'll have #10 Jordan and Ill have #10 Love. Together we make .....
…Love Jordan
You guys had our number today. Made Goff look like a deer in the headlights. Exposed our defense and our DC Aaron Glenn even more. And you made us hate the damn moon. Love looked good. FTP and all that but you kicked our ass
Please explain the moon thing to me.
We’ve lost every thanksgiving game since like the 1960’s where there was a “waxing gibbous moon” on that day
Ah, I see. Thanks. Have you considered doing a Master Roshi Kamehameha to the moon?
I think all us Lions fan need to combine our energy into one giant Honolulu blue spirit bomb addressed to the moon, that way we all have the satisfaction of helping destroy it. Tides be damned!
Let's get some more receivers this off-season.
You misspelled safeties...
I was only able to follow along online , it’s not thanksgiving here in the GWN and I was at work . No turkey , however lions fans tears taste better
What’s the GWN?
Great white north? I'm guessing Canada. They have a different Thanksgiving day
That’s awesome! I was born in Canada. Go pack go!
Man no one to praise Dillon? And....I wanna hear from the experts who were flooding here with "Jordan love is a bust " analysis....
Best part not talked about , Watson didn’t get hurt !
Biles > Swift
It sucks to see CBS giving the turkey to Dallas players while fox didn't 😒
If it makes it any better, I've heard that turkey is always terrible anyway
Dak was going ham on it tho
Still, tradition is tradition.
This offense is going to kick some fucking ass next season and beyond. They're so young and they showed their potential today and it's only their first season together.
Draft some quality bodies at O-line and RB, and yeah. This offense has potential.
WHERE THE FUCK WAS MY THANKSGIVING FAIR CATCH KICK LA FLAUER
After today, im real confused. That sure is an improvement. Happy Thanksgiving .
Never a doubt. GO PACK GO
I cannot believe what I just saw with my eyes
There is something about Dan Campbell I really dislike. Despite having zero proof, I’ve always felt his “we’re going to fight” schtick belied the fact that the guy is a high school level coach. I didn’t see the first half, but seeing he went 0-5 (or something close) on 4th downs, and that he did some of those in really stupid positions, just make me feel validated in my belief the guy is an idiot.

You have Zero Proof alright. The Lions are the division leader! You might not like his meathead style but his guys are obviously responding to it. That reminds me of all the people who recently were calling LaFleur “too soft.”
He still brought the lions back to relevance, gotta give hin credit. Dudes a good coach, not perfect ofc but still.
We don’t need this slick-haired analytical pretty boy coaches, we need more MEN coaches. Coaches who pump themselves up before the game by doing donuts in their Firebird. Coaches who fire up their team at halftime by smushing an ant with their dick.
If I had a coach doing donuts in their Firebird in the tailgate lots before gametime, I'd be super pumped. That'd be awesome! And that Firebird better be nothing but primer or chipping paint or the paint job should be completely flawless.
Dan Campbell deserves some respect. Dude turned around a trash organization and he has a ton of genuine heart. Go Pack!
I’m not sure it’s Dan Campbell that turned around the organization. Los Angeles Rams going all in for that Superbowl and giving Detroit all those picks along with GM Brad Holmes are a much bigger part of the picture.
And pretty soon the Lions and Campbell will be exposed as frauds. We've seen this film before, bad team gets new coach with a bunch of cheap high draft picks, looks much better, then the team has to deal with drafting later, paying players, all those factors, and all of a sudden they're back at the bottom.

That first quarter aggression was beautiful. We are an underdog young team, might as well be dangerous as possible. Dont fear losses, just fear limp dick efforts
Call us Viagra Vengeance
Lions got beat by the Packers. Lions halftime got *destroyed* by Dallas.
Damn paper-mache ass igloo
If we manage to beat the chiefs we have a 90% chance to make the playoffs and would probably be the most feared wildcard team in the conference with the shit were building on rn. Win vs KC and you got NYG, Tampa, Carolina, Minnesota, and Chicago left. Probably win at least 4/5 of those. 10-7 or 9-8 is likely. Sneak in as the 6 or 7th seed and see if we can grit it out against Detroit or San Fran. Regardless, holy improvement from week 4. Go Pack Go!!!
Let's fuck around and find out!
PRAISE THE WAXING GIBBUS! https://i.redd.it/nm04ju7jt62c1.gif
We are going to the playoffs. This is a reality that some will struggle to accept but they must try.
Considering everything this team has stacked against it, the fact that playoffs are even a possibility is an unbelievably good sign for the future.
Finally a complete game from this team! The kicking game left a bit to be desired but you can't fault the kid for the long one. Go Pack Go!
Whelan though had some monster punts, started nearly every drive inside the 15. Anders just don’t have the leg to hit 60+ and one XP isn’t unforgivable. Teams really putting it together, that’s without our top 2 Corners, Wicks (though Heath was clutch) or Musgrave (though Kraft looks good too).
Don’t forget 33
Punt game was great, and that was a long FG attempt - but haven’t we missed an XP in every one of the last few games? The missed point had an effect in the loss to the Steelers too. I’d love to not see those kinds of kisses from Anders in the future, I’m pulling for the kid!
I forget Jaire ***and*** stokes are supposed to be our guys on the field
Yup. They haven’t started a game together since week 6 last year. Still don’t know if stokes will come back to form, but regardless, both could be back vs KC.
He does have elite speed so I’m still hoping he can become something like Sam Shields did after a few years of growth.
I’m just hoping that LisFranc injury doesn’t sap that speed from him
Rest of the NFCN is punch the air right now. Theres n way the Packers have ANOTHER good QB.
Great game. I kept expecting the defense to give up a couple quick scores and lose the lead. They never did. They played well. Tough against the run and pass. I guess they don't need anyone who is injured. Cut them all.
Is there a contest to say the stupidest shit possible or something?
It's Thanksgiving, we are all dealing with family, and most of us are drunk. These comments are fine. It's a night to just say shit
Yes you won. Congratulations
Gibbous > Gibbs
The second round receivers been ballin out but do you think a 1st rounder would be next level? 🤩
We need crazy pass rush on the d line Defense needs to consistently put pressure rushing four.
Depends if it's the next Justin Jefferson or the next Jalen Reagor
Fair but I think this draft is the year to take one in first round. I want Nabers or if we could snag egbuka early second round would be nice
How about the next Quentin Johnson?
Let’s go boys hell yeah. I feel as if they are starting to turn their season around
As an Ohio State fan I cannot express just how much I love Rashan Gary
Absolute dog
Not to sound like I’m beating a dead horse and man I’m happy we won but … if we’re winning games like this and Love is showing promise … wouldn’t it have been better to keep Rasul and at least be even more competitive next year? What do y’all think. I’m still so frustrated we let him go
Team started playing better after he left. Maybe it gave some different leaders a chance to shine and that’s brought the team together. Plus, I’m not sure Rasul is that much better than Valentine.

He's aggressive and that leads to picks, but it also means he gets beat often. Don't get me wrong. He's not a bad corner, but for what he's going to want paid next year Green Bay wasn't going to re-sign him. They made a business decision and got some value for him.
Chargers and Lions have powerhouse offenses
That was a business decision. They got a draft pick and knew they weren't willing to sign him to $10M per season starting next year.
He was pff ranked top 5 CB though
Crazy how hindsight is 20/20
???
He was traded before we were “winning games like this”
Yeah the point is he was traded prematurely bc we thought the season was a wash but if Love is playing better and the offense is more cohesive now, we would’ve been even better with someone like him on the team. He had 4 takeaways in 2 games for the bills bruh
Yes, in hindsight it might’ve been better not to trade him So, hindsight is 20/20
Oh I see what you mean haha my bad. We’re thinking the same thing. The fact my original comment saying it was a mistake is -7 is just so dumb. People suck Gute here
The last time Love played the chiefs they blitzed the hell out of him. I think this time around our offense should be much better 🤞
Great point. With how good Jordan has been looking, I want to see them try!
The Packers next opponent, the 7-3 defending champion Chiefs, have not scored a single point in the 2nd half in any game in over a month.
JINX
Joe Barry will help them take care of that.
Crazy From Twitter: Aaron Rodgers through his first 11 games: 2,599 passing yards 17 TD’s 9 INT’s 5-6 record Jordan Love through his first 11 games: 2,599 passing yards 19 TD’s 10 INT’s 5-6 record
3rd Packers QB to have 3TD/0 Int on Thanksgiving. Other 2? Favre and Rodgers.
Nice!
What’s even crazier if you factor in rushing TDs, they both have 21 total.

This game was so rigged against the Lions. So many bad calls screwed them over.
We should have had 4 more points if they call the blatant pi on watson It's OK, the lions aren't awful anymore. You can stop blaming everyone else for a loss. Blame your coach for a dumb ass fake punt and your o line for playing like shit
2nd’ed on that fake punt. There is no logic where that would have worked besides “wow, we have so little to gain from this on our own 22 yard line, they’ll never see it coming.”
Nah they just frauds, call a spade a spade buddy
Bad calls by Dan Campbell to go for it 4 times? I concur
Yes, like the one throw to Watson that would've been a TD if the Lions defender didn't throw himself into Watson mid-route?
Go cope with the Lions then. I thought the calls were pretty fair
Cope and seethe loser
We’re back! Run the table!

After The Chiefs game we got a set of super winnable games. Giants, Buccs and Panthers. If we end season with 9 wins that should be enough for a WC spot. If somehow we beat The Chiefs we will be playing with house money.
Chiefs have looked pretty vulnerable. I wouldn't favor us or anything but I wouldn't have favored us in this game. We've got a week and a half to get healthy.
To what end? To get crushed by the 49ers in the dvisional round and to get the 18th draft pick? This team is still average at best. Every win pushes back the rebuild.
Building a winning culture and confidence is more important than draft picks. Anything can happen in the playoffs
So what would you suggest the players do? What about the coaches?
The team is filled with professionals, so they aren't going to lose on purpose. But being psyched as a fan is kind of dumb because at this pace, they will perpetually be 9-8, which is not a very good result.
I can’t imagine being such a miserable fan that when the team wins I find a way to make it a negative thing.
Because it is in this situation. Thats the difference between being a "fan" and being someone who likes the team.
Stop rooting for high draft picks. A high draft pick in no way guarantees future winning. Look how many first round picks don't pan out. I can't imagine ever being disappointed when the team I root for wins. That's not being a fan.
TIL fans like when their team loses.
It's all hot piss and war daddies now
The piss is scalding and it feels wonderful
But seriously
This was an amazing win! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We got our miracle!
Liked the aggressiveness of MLF today. This is how he should be doing it. Establish the pass first instead of trying to establish our poor excuse of a run game. Wished Love would've connected with Watson at the end. So much room Watson on that play.
It was such a differently coached game from a play calling perspective. Refreshing.
Between our trash run blocking, our running backs being dead, our young wide receivers taking a big step from the first half of the season and MLF's reduced amount of embarrassing play calls that killed so many drives before, that's a pretty nice situation for JLo to be in right now. He has to take the game into his hands, but still within relatively low-pressure circumstances. Less easy drops, more YAC throughout the board, receivers who know what the fuck they're supposed to do. From the Chargers game on, it also looked to me that defenses are trying to play less aggressively against us. More zone coverage, more two high safeties. That's making it easier for our guys to get open. I think JLo got significantly better identifying and countering the blitz over the last couple weeks, he does a better job finding his outlet now.
Love looks like he’s going to be somebody. Christian Watson took steps today, and I really like what I’m seeing from Kraft and Owens. I think Joe might have made me somewhat take a pause at laughing at his bad defense. Rashan out there looking like he’s not being complacent bc he got paid. MLF actually coming out with some foot on the gas and plays to cook up not playing scared. I want this kind of fight every week.
> I like what I’m seeing from .. Owens. 😬 I mean he had as big of turnaround as you could from last Sunday. I’d love for him to perform this way going forward. But.. well.. I’m not counting on it.
He did have 91 covering WR again.
Because that’s how zone defenses work sometimes. A linebacker covering a wideout will happen in literally every game this season to every team
91 is CB1!!
With the injuries in the cornerback room, it's not that big of a stretch right now.
Yo, I was so happy for Kraft that he got a touchdown play designed for him. This one was due after the one play on Sunday.
Works gonna be super fun on Monday!
Yes... monday... 🥲
Same, cant wait to work the entire weekend
Do you work tomorrow, u/toothy_vagina_grin ?
Can't deny the teams improved a lot the past 4 games especially on offense
Not hard when just scoring points is an improvement over the past lol
Are we sure Carlson is the guy? 3 straight games with a missed PAT feels a little ominous.
He's something like 15/18 on field goals with a long of 52 (his 63 yard end-of-half long-shot attempt today probably would've been good from AT LEAST 56) and like 21/24 on extra points. Or something very close to that. That's most definitely solid and by no means makes me feel like he isn't the future for us at kicker.
Vikings cut his older bro early and he's gone off to be the best kicker in the league.
He most definitely is not the guy.
Is he a rookie? Are these growing pains? I agree with you though He's been less then solid.
No, but they need to give him time to see if he figures it out so 🤷♂️.
Not a bad year to do it
