I don’t know, but a switch flipped and it wasn’t just how he played, it was his entire body language. He looked stressed and tense from the get-go.

    On a couple of the early throws he was almost falling down off balance after the throw. For no reason, like either he was throwing too hard or just sloppy feet and off balance. I don’t know, but it was strange.

    A switch flipped and he was an entirely different guy. I don’t get it.
    Love ain’t perfect for sure. Rock excrement costed the team points. Threw an abominable pick. Missed an open Toure for 6 before the chocker of a kicker missed his kick.

    But “Air” Jordan Love was crunch in the clutch. The Frog’s stupid decision to take the rock out of Love’s hands on that stupid 2-point end around was pretty dumb. The two rocks to Heath were perfect.

      Wicks with a likely high ankle sprain and Reed being evaluated for a concussion. What, me worry?

        This loss really stung, but I’m going to try to be positive.

        Reed, Wicks, Musgrave and Kraft have all looked talented enough to be starting caliber players.

        Watson looks like a difference maker. I thought he was going to be a boom or bust deep threat and that’s all he’d ever be, but two years in a row he’s showing up as an elite red zone weapon. I think that football IQ shows up in the redone and he finds the open spot in tight areas.

        Doubs has strong hands and looks like a reliable 3rd receiver.

        Love has bright flashes



        It’ll be fun to see them together with a year of seasoning.

          Hard to believe how undisruptive the Packers defense was against such a bad offense.

          2 QB hits
          0 sacks
          0 pass breakups
          4 TFLs

          55 plays.

              REALLY BAD; I think the NYG had given up around 69 sacks.

              The pass rush didn't show up and let Danny Devito look like the best rushing QB in the NFL

                The Giants offense by most measures was very close to the worst in the league coming in. We made them look like SF. Barry has to go. His system isn’t any good. It wallows in mediocrity, turning in a few good games here and there, but far too many clunkers like this against an inferior offense. If MLF doesn’t move on from Barry in the offseason, then he’s not a great HC either, because a great coach will do what is necessary to fix the weak areas on his staff.

                  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.

                    Since QB starts were first tracked in 1950, only one NFL starting QB has completed 80% of his passes, rushed for 70+ yards, committed no turnovers and taken no sacks in a game.

                    That was Tommy DeVito last night.

                      I think this is an accurate big-picture look at those players and how the future looks positive regarding those players.

                      But I'm gonna vent here . . . long- and short-term.

                      Long term and last night: Joe Barely. They bottled up Barkely for most of the night, yes. But they knew DeVito would rush out of the pocket, yet they had no answer. But my biggest complaint is that last NYG drive. The Packers were up by only a point - not four points or six points. One point. Which is to say, why the hell did Barely set up a prevent defense, as if scoring a TD on a single play was the worst worst worst thing that could happen? My god, did you all see how wide, wide open those Giants receivers were, ten and fifteen yards down the field? The Packers were playing so far back those receivers could catch the ball and turn and run for another seven or eight yards before you even saw a defender in the picture. It made zero sense. Zero. You invited them to do exactly, exactly, what they needed to do - burn the clock and march easily down the field. So easily they didn't even need to use their timeouts. WTF, Joe????

                      Special teams. The most penalized in the NFL, led by our highly-paid Bisaccia. Sure, there are injuries. But does no other special teams unit in the NFL have injuries? Everybody's got injuries. But the special teams are a negative this year. Could it be because they're so young? Maybe. Carlson I'll give a pass to for this year, though Jake Elliott, rookie kicker in Philly, is killing it. But I'd say next year Carlson needs to show improvement, especially on his longer kicks. Do the coaches not trust him, or does he not have great leg strength, or both? And Keisean Nixon's fumble - yes, fall on the ball, dude.

                      The Flower - WTF kind of two-point conversion play call was that? I get that I'm a fan, don't see the intricacies of the defense, what he might've seen, but when the casual fan at home can easily observe that the Gints had figured out the end arounds and double reverses, why call anothe one? Okay, fake one and hand it off to Dillon. Or fake one and throw it. But yet another one, when the last three didn't work? Dumb.

                      Offensive line: sucks. I don't know what the hell happened to Runyan, but he's awful. And we're not big Dillon fans, but when the guy is getting hit a yard behind the line of scrimmage, what do we think is going to happen? He tried bulling his way through and did a good job. But man, the blocking's not that good.

                      And Love. Cocaine and shots and hookers the night before or something? Or stage too big? Or just a shitty game from a young guy? I don't know, but he sucked last night. He was throwing passes too high most of the game, and on his long shot to the end zone to Toure, had he thrown it farther, Toure was open. It was just a terrible game from him. And on that fumble when he was running to get a first down, why the hell did he not go to the sideline to get around the defender? Why cut back inside, right into a tackle? Man, he had a bad game.

                      The Flower said something about learning a lesson from this game - that you can't just walk out on the field and expect you'll win because you're supposed to. Something like that. Which tells me these young guys were reading their press clippings this past week. And that's on The Flower, as well as on their youth.

                      Let's just hope they learn from this. The Tampa Bay game will be a tussle, especially if Joe Barely keeps dialing up soft schemes when the other team is only trying to get into FG range at the end of a half or a game. Ugh.

                        Ugh, yikes. This is pretty gross. I would love to see the Packers just go extreme aggressiveness on defense. Go in the complete opposite direction of where they are. Maybe they need another FA signing to shake up the culture a bit like Z.

                        I tend not to get too high or too low. This is a year of growth and 2025 will be telling, not this year. I think we're gonna come out pretty well because they seem to have drafted very well the last two years. I personally think MILF is the guy. I would like to see a much more aggressive and up tempo D. Is it crazy to think maybe they could lure Rex Ryan out of retirement? I would love that but I doubt he'd give up the cozy TV gig. Plus he's getting older.

                          Packers made his ass famous like so many other unknown QBs. We have to appreciate the timing and circumstances of the moment. Would’ve been nice to be able to watch it from outside a Packers fan perspective because it’s probably really fun today with all the NY fans acting extra Italiano. Hell I would be having cutlets and spaghetti for dinner tonight to celebrate.

                            Inconsistency is the normal attribute of a young team. I both enjoyed the game AND found it extremely frustrating. I actually still feel better about the season as a whole, and Love's performance. Let's see if next few games changes that opinion.

                                An overall rotten game. It really sucks to lose to such a crap opponent. What Fritz said about the damn Barry D. LaFleur is a good coach, but his huge weakness is having rotten assistants. After a string of good games, Love came crashing down to earth - for whatever reason, piss poor blocking being one, but a lot of it was just him. Carlson was compared to Elliot, I'll go one better and compare (more like contrast) him to Aubrey. The Packers or anybody coulda had that guy without even using a draft pick. But Jerry Jones got him instead.

                                I think we still have the tiebreaker on most of those other 6-7 teams, so a playoff run isn't dead yet.
                                What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
