Week 3 Post-Game: Packers 18 Saints 17

[APB]

Late getting the post-game thread started, my bad. Some good chatter in the game day thread.

Terrible 3 quarters of play followed by gutty, gritty, tough, resilient 4th quarter. Fantastic growth game for a young squad!

These guys deserve some criticism but, holy smokes, what a gutty performance! Well done!

[go pak go]

The amount of backups doing this was incredible.

4th quarter is honestly all that matters for this team. Especially the offense. Going to be a mess at times, but staying focused and bouncing back matters. Shows some promise for this young group.

Hoping that this is a bit of a kick in the pants for the D as well. But still work to do there. As long as they keep points off the board, we'll be ok though.

I kinda feel bad for Lupe.

He was on fire in the GDT when we were losing. Didn’t see anything after the 3rd qtr tho.

I’m sure he had a rant post all ready to go destroying Love and his lack of heart, not clutch, and general poo poopiness. Then on to a HC who is gutless, can’t win against a good defense, and is basically sissy-pants trashcan juice. And don’t forget Gutebumst who drafted the poo piddley QB and hired the sissy pants HC.

Oh the disappointment…

It’s amazing to think of watching a game like this. Amazing and yet stunning. Bold and yet subtle taste with elements of apricot and kick a$$ together.

Love threw too many low passes when he went downfield earlier. But they stuck with it and it paid off. He needs more work with these WRs on the vertical concepts.

Glad to see Musgrave get more short passes, including a third down to move the chains. His playbook is getting bigger.

Reed. He had a bizarre game. But it speaks to the non-quit in this kid. He’ll remember this game a long time.

Carlson outkicked the Saints kicker. ;-)

Gary coming on strong!

It seemed like 90% of our passing game in the fourth quarter was outside the hashmarks. I kept waiting for that to fail too but it didn’t. If Love is going to make his money this year out there, good for him.

I’m worried about Campbell. I want him in next week too. I think he didn’t come back into the game once he left?

As for the youth and talent on this team… Last week and this week alike, I thought a lot of it on offense was about they have so much ability, if they don’t get in their own way. I’m probably saying that more than ever after this week. Stop the penalties. Do better catching the contested balls. Utilize the run just enough to help the pass. Be assignment sure. I think we’ll be getting 30+ ppg before this season is over.

Today’s comeback happened while we did NOT get a turnover from the Saints.

I didn’t think of it then, but now, I think the Saints are kicking themselves for not scoring a TD at the end of the first half. They were moving the ball. And then, they had to settle. Might’ve had as much effect as anything in the end.

Any Sunday where you can't say "I've been saying this for years" is a no good Sunday.

I mean it was still said, but now it just doesn't have the same effect.

[YoHoChecko]

The long-term critique of this team is that they fold when they’re punched in the face.

Last week, a strong running team took it to us.

This week, down 17-0, against a D that still hasn’t allowed 20+ points in ages, we came through.

That’s how a sloppy win becomes a gritty win. Love it.

Hate to pile on and I stay off here during games bc of crap like that but yes. Wisconsin sports talk welcomes this negativity like it's law. (Yes I think Mark is a joke)

I may wear the green and gold blinders but this is a win a young dumb team needed. More so a coach that I felt was conservative for 3/4 to protect his QB finally opened it up and let him freaking work.

Bring on the damn lions let's go

[TheSkeptic]

Some of those catches by Reed and Doubs in the 4th quarter were unreal. Reed should be in consideration for Rookie of the year.

[paco]

[TheSkeptic]

He is better than most. He has the fire of Favre and the ability of Rodgers. 3 in a row baby!

[MY_TAKE]

Was thinking about breaking down the game a bit but instead I will say this:

IF you have 4th quarters like a week ago, you will lose alot of games. If your resilient (I thought Jordon Love was very) and have a 4th quarter like today and you will win more often than not.

Love J. Reed, but, that drop on the sideline might have been Loves best through of the year. It was Rodgeresk!!! I hated when he missed Musgrave early and the Pick was just a bad play all the way around but, I thought Love kept his cool and that gives me some confidence going forward. Lets get out best playmakers back and stop with the 10+ penalties and maybe the Pack can make it easier on themselves.

GO Pack!!!

[Scott4Pack]

Our offense was stymied for so much of the game. You can expect that against a very good defense. But they just kept throwing the ball downfield, after how many failures. And then, it started to work!

I give MLF a lot of credit. He stuck with something that could work and would be needed anyhow when mountains a comeback.

[mention]APB[/mention] Im surprised you didn't turn in more receipts this week. Some got very quiet after the 3rd quarter.

I tend to focus on the most obvious…and obnoxious.

It was over-the-top for a while there. It deserved to be readdressed following the comeback.

[Crazylegs Starks]

MLF said after the game that the 2-point play didn't go as expected. I think it looks similar to the play Love hit Doubs on in week 1, except the Saints covered Doubs better.

Seriously. The Packers have the largest comeback in franchise history and it's absolute crickets from a certain "half" of this forum.

Are there people who just like being miserable?

Well obviously yes, a most insufferable bunch.

Can’t believe how quiet the forum is, be a million fire xxxx threads if we lost.

Oh absolutely. A bunch of “you homers” references, too.

Seriously, tho. I think we were all a little frustrated with how the game was going and the lack of discipline with penalties and whatnot. Nothing wrong with voicing that frustration, within reason. Those few who find it necessary to ruin the entire conversation with their over-the-top criticisms and repeated axe grinding complaints deserve what they’re now getting.
