Official Preseason Week 2 Packers vs Patriots Meaningless Game Day Thread

That injury must have been a bad one of both coaches call the game off. If he had been able to give a thumbs up, they may have continued.

That looked pretty bad. He never moved.

Cox was unimpressive to me. It'd surprise me if he makes the squad, a little.

He didn't have a good game. He has next week to show he's worth something.

On the botched snap MLF said Myers supposed to snap the ball if a DL jumps offside. Said a DL flinched, but did not jump offside.

He's shown enough to make the PS. Doubt he'll make 53.

According to the Pats, he has feeling in all of his extremities, so that's good news.

In the spirit of making everything Aaron Rodgers’s fault now that he’s gone, I think Myers is suffering from PTSD after receiving Rodgers’s wrath and eyeball-rolling so often.

Watching some highlights and the biggest concern I have is the under throw to doubs. Doubs did great slowing down, had a little push off and got his feet in. Great job him. Love seems to routinely under/over throw anything past 20 yards. I'm getting concerned a bit. Keep hearing the same thing in practice from the podcasts I listen to.

Arm thing or mental thing? If it's mental, it should be fairly easily cureable, and it may even be a good thing - he's overthinking things/adjusting rather than just throwing to the spot. If it's an inaccurate arm, though, it probably ain't going away.

I won't get to see the game until 3pm today when NFL Network airs it. Maybe more will be obvious after that.

He has the arm. It's more a repetitions thing. Practice speed is different than game speed, so his throws aren't completely dialed in yet. Receivers almost always have to adjust a bit, and he isn't missing by a mile, so at the moment, I'm not too worried.

MLF has been telling Love to put more air under the ball on his deeper throws. I suspect that would make some balls look like underthrows. Considering the ball was a good 50 yards in the air I think it was pretty good. Love doesn't have Rodgers' accuracy, but I don't think it was a bad throw either. Agree Love could have put it a slight but further in from of Doubs, who also could have run a better route -- he drifted a bit too much to the sideline and there was a lot of contact.

My biggest concerns are Love's accuracy, and any potential lapses in judgement. He has been careful with the ball and overall made good reads and does a nice job working his progressions and using his eye to look off defenders. I'm hoping he can continue to get better with the accuracy, although there are limits to how much a player can improve there.

Drops by the receivers are a concern -- it feels like a lot of Love's throws incompletions are either inaccurate throws or right on the money but dropped.

[Teamcheez1]

AR made at least 3 underthrows per game not to mention throw aways. Not to say Love is anything close to our previous hall of famer, but a few bad throws in a preseason game are meaningless.

They refund the fans after cancelling the game for no real reason despite charging full regular season prices and forcing season ticket holders to buy them?

[smuggler]

I have a friend that works for American Express, and AmEx will approve a chargeback for *any* purchase made at that game.

Yea, that makes sense. I understand if they want to call it off but charging full price for a meaningless game then calling it early is a bit much.
