The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

I am not expecting a win today. But there still are some things I want to see out of this unit. I want to see LaFleur put his thinking cap on and innovate on the fly, even if we don't have the pigs. But if we are down in the second half and the camera cuts to him with the deer in the headlights on the verge of tears look on his face, staring into the the abyss while Jim Bob is out there whooping our ass up to Appleton, Papa gonna be PISSED.NCF wrote: ↑24 Sep 2023 11:06This is where I subscribe to the @Yoop theory in terms of weapons. As short-handed as they are, there is only so much an offensive game planner/play caller can do. Scoring early and playing with a lead is about the only thing I think that can really help Jordan in this one. A close game in the 4th or playing from behind will allow New Orleans just to bring it play after play and the Packers just don't have the answers available to consistently beat it.Papa John wrote: ↑24 Sep 2023 11:03From what I have seen though, he struggles against the blitz. He is going to need to figure that out if he wants to take his game to the next level. Today will be a challenge, but if LaFleur is worth his salt (I don't think he is), he'll have crafted an offensive game plan that sets Love up for success, even if he is missing some weapons. I want to see Jordan navigate the pocket under pressure and keep his eyes downfield, and not just put his head down and run at the first sign of pressure.
Ballentine for one.APB wrote: ↑24 Sep 2023 11:35Did the Packers call up any CBs from the PS? I'm looking at the Packers.com depth chart and the only CBs listed on the active roster are Rasul, Nixon, and Valentine.
I hope they're fielding more than 3 friggin' CBs on the gameday roster...?

With 2 starters on the left side of the line out and no Jones or Watson Love will have his hands full. If ever there was a week when we need the D to show up it is today.Papa John wrote: ↑24 Sep 2023 11:03Feels like we're bringing a knife to a gun fight in this one. From what I have seen of Jordan Love thus far, it is the tale of 2 Loves. Love with the stout offensive line play vs Love under pressure. Like most NFL QB's, give him time and he will make good throws. From what I have seen though, he struggles against the blitz. He is going to need to figure that out if he wants to take his game to the next level.

Watched their game last week, we’ll as much as I could stand to. Couldn’t tell if it was 2 outstanding defenses or just a lot of really bad football.
just to many starters out, we need some gadget plays the Saints lack film of, lots of up tempo quick hitters or LOve will be running for his life, we've won in tougher situations so I'am still optimistic.NCF wrote: ↑24 Sep 2023 11:06This is where I subscribe to the @Yoop theory in terms of weapons.
