how many drops were there? was anyone counting?Originally Posted by MadtownPacker
it seemed like at least 10 times our guys hand their hands on the ball and didn't come down with it
i'm sure "official stats", will say some bullshit like 2. but it was a lot today
I didn’t post in the game day thread. I was keeping defensive alignment snaps in the first half and quit at halftime.
If my numbers are right, we had 31 plays in defense not counting punts and FG tries.
We ran our base D, 3-4 with 3 big fatties, on 9 plays or around 30% of the time. I think this is more than usual. The Saints only had two big runs in the first half. Both were against our base D. Both plays the OLB crashed down and the Saints were able to get the edge.
It was hard to tell nickel from dime because the camera is on the line at the snap. I had 12 plays at least in nickel and the other 10 I wasn’t sure if dime or nickel.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

I am shocked that the Saints went so pass heavy in the 2nd half. Even running ineffectively burns clock.

hahahahaha not eyerolls, but he did give them a "look" several times - well deserved look.
Don't we have "studs and duds" threads anymore?
Before I get into the plethora of studs and maybe a few part time duds for the team, I'll nominate some media bastard idiot I read who suggested the Packers should trade for some veteran WR hahahaha. Those shit-eating fools/shit-spewing fools don't know the Packers a tenth as well as just about everybody in here.
Fulltime Studs: Love (obviously) damn near all of the time. Rashan Gary playing like a superstar.
Most of the time Studs: Doubs, Musgrave, Douglas, Nixon, Rudy Ford, Savage, Wicks
Studs about half the time: Reed, Clark, the right side of the O Line, LaFleur's playcalling
More Dud than Stud but not enough to lose the game: Whelan, the left side of the O Line, Barry's D (better than it usually is, though), Vilma commentating
Lesser Lights who showed up when needed today, most of the time anyway: Valentine and Ballentine, McDuffie, Toure, the back up RBs
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Wait, wait…
I’m just a semi lurker but it seems to me the posts are all so true without bullshit
I could be wrong..
Love was annoyed after the interception. Reed ran the wrong route, I’m fairly certain. He lead the safety right to Doubs. By the time the ball got there, Reed was 5 yards away from Doubs. Of course Love was surprised the damn safety made it over there. I’m sure the play design wasn’t to run two guys to the same spot. If reed ran the correct route, I’m sure Love knew the safety had a much different responsibility and wouldn’t have been able to drift so quickly and confidently to the spot.

I can't wait for studs/duds.
Stud: Gutes and MiLF. We had the ENTIRE OFFENSE on rookie contracts today and Watson out as well. Still put 18 on a very stingy D. I can't stress enough how that just never happens.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
I don’t know what the defense was on that pick or exactly what Love saw, but I’m guessing Love peaked his read and knew they had to be in a certain defense. Once he knew what defense they were in, if Reed ran the right route I’m assuming he knew the safety couldn’t make it over there. I don’t know the exact process, but I know two receivers over there was not in the plan.
I’m sure Love can peak the safety next time instead of assuming his guy is going to run the right route.
That interception is partly on Love, but I don’t think it’s as bad as it looked. He looked in command and under control the entire game. That was not a mitchel turdbiscuit type confusion play.

Watson and Musgrave are such a sick pair of speed demons. Love looks so in command of the game. It’s going to be real interesting to see what happens when he gets his crew back.
I saw one pass pro from Musgrave that was just perfect. I really can’t believe how quickly this kid is catching on. He might be really special.

I’m becoming a big fan of Musgrave. There was a crosser or some sort of out route he caught where he was just gliding to the sideline. Love threw it behind 88, but the catch was still made. It’s really hard for defenders to make plays on the ball when the guy their chasing is that damn fast. They’re in that mode where they’re just running as fast as they possibly can and can’t get to looking for the ball. And he seems to have really really really reliable hands. He might stumble a little because he’s so damn tall and lanky, so he’s not perfect. But he does a couple of things (run extremely fast and catch the damn ball) that are going to be very effective.

he still can't stay on his feet after making a catch, but the guy really seems able to get open at will
could end up being a really good pick
Love is (somewhat surprisingly) making good reads and decisions. He's got a strong arm. If there's a criticism, he's not been super accurate.
Watching Kurt Warner's breakdowns, Love was consistently making good reads and decisions, so it isn't too much of a surprise. The accuracy needs work, but when the offense was 'play fast and chuck it', he stepped up and made a lot of plays downfield. Hopefully things will keep improving and he will get his weapons back. A 50% completion rate won't cut it very often.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Preseason isn't a great indicator though.
Agreed 100% I don't know if he is missing throws, reads or his WRs are missing them but he seems to at least making the correct reads.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
RG- Musgrave is the Dirty White boy TE you have been yearning for since you fell in love with Kittle. He needs to get some red zone shots.
I would bring up Mark Chumura who definitely was attacked to the red zone shots
I know all you LGBTQIA’s love Love, but he has no presence, no command, no balls. I’m still waiting for him to strain his sphincter so the Clifford era can officially begin. You all can complain about drops, but chocolate starfish still can’t hit a fucking wide open target downfield when it counts. If he could, we wouldn’t have been put in the downward dog position from the get go. He’s had years to not look like a 1st or 2nd year fuckup, but that’s what we got right now.

LOL Yikes. Yeah, I've seen some tweets to this effect re: GB and their cap spending vs. player availability. Only having 47% of your cap spending playing on a Sunday is not good, and certainly not sustainable for winning games.
