From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I will say, as upsetting as the drop is to me, even more upsetting is that we let this one play lead us to largely sideline him until the Dallas game (at which point we had no real choice anyway).
I said it well before that game/drop: he's a guy you just gotta keep throwing to. Drops were a known issue when we drafted him, yet he also had almost 20 yards per reception. A guy like that, you don't let drops stop you from looking his way early and often, IMO.
please explain to me WHY we sidelined him again? I seem to recall some injury's, same with Doubs.
The offseason knee surgery that cost him a chunk of training camp. Dropping what should have been a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the season (and his first game snap as an NFL player) in Minnesota. A hamstring injury that sidelined him for three games. A concussion that cost him another. A hard hit last week in Detroit that was initially misdiagnosed as another concussion
when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, which is a pretty good description of both Watson and Doubs, both had some concentration issues to start and dropped some passes, and both cleared that up as the season progressed

Apparently Fields has more bets on him to win MVP than anyone else...
And this is why all those gambling sites prosper.
Yeah, I have to be missing something with this. Is Fields just a really popular long-shot bet? Someone make it make sense to someone who doesn't do much gambling.
I think APB meant a lot of people are betting against Fields being a MVP
Fields biggest issue is being able to make split decisions and a big reason for it is poor pass protection, least thats what I've read.
thanks I remember going Bonkers when Favre threw the TD, and also screaming when Brooks caught that out of bounds directed kickoff which put the ball down at the 3 or 4 yrd line.
yep weird our first game with a new QB the last 32 years is against the same team, hope we don't bungle it up

Especially an AFC Team.
yep that too, time for the AFC to again welcome in our new starting HOF bound QB well we can hope, can't we? why not.
The next two weeks, which include a total of three joint practices and two preseason games, are truly the heart of training camp.
The Packers will be in Cincinnati from late Tuesday through Friday night's game, a first-of-its-kind preseason road trip for the franchise, followed by another busy, important week with the Patriots coming to town for an extended stretch. The joint practices and preseason games are crucial evaluating tools for the personnel department as it studies the youth on the roster, particularly with so few full-speed, padded practices in camp compared to yesteryear.
"There's going to be a lot of stressors for these guys they've got to push through and fight through," Gutekunst said. "I think that'll serve our team well in the long run, and it'll give us a lot of answers too I think to what we're looking for.
"Whether it's practice, joint practice, Family Night, preseason games, early-season regular-season game, the learning and growing part has to be on the forefront. As we go through this, we've got to get better each week … because so many of them have so much room to grow."
Preseason playing time remains TBD and won't be an easy call.
No decisions have been made yet by Head Coach Matt LaFleur on how much new starting quarterback Jordan Love will play in the preseason. Gutekunst suggested how things go on Family Night and in the joint practice in Cincinnati next week will factor into how much he plays in the preseason opener against the Bengals.
However it shakes out, it's not as simple as saying Love needs to take a certain number of preseason snaps.
"What Jordan needs affects a lot of the other guys, right?" Gutekunst said. "Because if Jordan's in there, there's going to be a bunch of other players in there as well that may not play a ton in the preseason. I think Matt will work through that and make good decisions.
"You guys have heard me say he needs to play, a lot of our guys need to play, that unit needs to play together. That's a tough call protecting the safety of those guys in these games but also giving them the best chance to grow and be ready for the season."

All the starters should play 2 series the first two games. We can’t afford a slow start. The season is pretty light early, we need to be humming, and the team could use the reps together

I would start most of the offense minus Bak and Jones and rest the defense. IMO the defense should t need reps based on the amount of investment even though I believe most of it is bad.
The offense though, specifically the WRs, TEs, and QB need to be out there.

Yes I was not precise…I meant offense..and yes..Jones can sit.
