Loves first NFL start was against KC. I'll touch on that more in the gameday thread, but what I really recall from the game was the D actually held up.

I have zero expectations coming into this game. I just want OL play that doesn't suck and continued effort from the D like I saw in Detroit.

PT and Merriweather are the healthy RBs:

I don't know what the hell Joe Barely did last year, but can he scheme up something that will keep KC to under 30 this time? None of us expect him to work the magic he did last year in KC. If the young defenders can produce and show progress (Devonte Wyatt needs to pan out or they're back to drafting defensive linemen with the first pick), and if Love can show more progress, a close loss would satisfy me. Even if Anders Carlsson misses a potential game-winning field goal.

Fritz, Karl Brooks has been active as hell. He flashes bright. It sure would be a bonus of him AND Wyatt both are players. Wyatt is 25 of 26 years old. Not so sure he has much potential left.

Dood, you missed it. It already fell. And even if I believed our QB was half what most here think he is, any fool can see the impending correction to a young overconfident team. Honestly, I hope I’m wrong. I like seeing GB win. But this has the hallmarks of an old fashioned ass whipping tattooed all over it. The kind where KC will pat our guys on the head afterward with a kind, understanding smile.

It occurs to me that the consensus before the first Super Bowl was to give the Packers about as much chance to win as people are giving the Packers this week.

Packers were 17 point favorites to win Super Bowl I.

But Kenny Clark's days are running down, and you need two really good defensive linemen to have a good defense. Maybe Wyatt will be okay, and they can draft a nose tackle who can be a real homewrecker.

I'm having nightmares about Chris Jones lining up between Runyan and Myers.

Not to sound like a smart ass or anything, but last season’s “17th” game was a home game against the Tyrants of Tennessee. Perhaps you meant Love’s maiden game in ‘21?

I watched the first half of the Chefs-Black Hole Punks game, and trust me when I say this: 15 of the Chefs is one damn good rock thrower.

Rushing Mahomes was the key in 21, and it will need to be the key again on Sunday if the Packers want to sniff out a victory. Given how vanilla Barry’s scheme is, Gary Lightbody, P-Smith, Cletidus, Vanilla Ice (Van Ness), among others, need to pimp out. Hopefully momentum carries over from the Pussies of Detroit game.

And, hopefully, this time around, Love plays better against the blitz.

yep, thats called the natural order of things when you are rebuilding and playing the defending champs. Its not indicative of a long cold winter to come. Most of us are looking for players to improve, give great effort. Praying that we are all as wrong about Joe Barry as you have been lately. Only Tex thinks we are a 5-1 favorite in this matchup.

Not his typical gap, but he may beg to get that assignment. Is he in a contract year? That would be a good way to pad the stats.

Have you taken leave of your senses, Tex?

He is in a contract year. Gonna make some big money.

How have I been wrong about Joe Berry? You need to lay off the pipe dood.

How old were you back then? The God damned media was all about how great the Chiefs were - how much better they were all around the field than the Packers. Maybe bettors knew better, I don't remember what the odds were.

I'm thinking more of a nose tackle who can abuse offensive linemen so badly on his way to the football that said offensive linemen begin to doubt their manhood, thus affecting their sexual performance in the marital bed. The unhappy wives try to be patient but their husbands' self worth has been destroyed by the Green Bay nose tackle, so those offensive linemen lash out at their wives, blaming said wives for the inability to get it up. Fights ensue, divorces ensue. Families torn asunder.

That's what I mean by a homewrecker of a nose tackle.
