Packers vs. Lions Discussion Thread

I think Willis is better than an injured Love. Sit him for the bye or risk a hobbled love all year and the playoff.

That’s it exactly.
Malik Willis is a great backup anyhow, so we’re good.

[texaspackerbacker]

Please don’t tell me your falling into that moronic way of thinking and negativity. I can see you have been listen to too many media shitheads. Willis didn’t even prep for the game yet he came in when the Jaguars were acting like they were gonna ruin the day and just shut that shit down!

I believe he’s more than capable of handling any team. I will not let defeatist thoughts cloud my judgment the fact that you are siding with anti polar bear is everything I need to know. That guy is a fucking clown of the highest order. I wouldn’t feed any burger he flipped to a dog for fear it has e. Coli with all the shit that spews out of his facetrap.

Well, on this end of the forum anyway, APB makes more sense than most other posters (especially when he agrees with me hahahaha) - he agreed with me, not the other way around.

And what "moronic way of thinking and negativity" are you talking about? Have there been some of those media shitheads that said the same as me - that the Packers better not be overly cautious with Love? If so, I guess the blind squirrel thing applies. Willis didn't prep for the Jags game? A pretty shaky assumption there hahahaha. I would think the #2 QB is pretty well prepared anytime.

Sure, the Packers could beat most teams most of the time with Willis (or probably Casey too) - they are that good. That might or might not include Detroit. Regardless, though, it's stupid to sit your first stringer who is one of the top 3 or 4 in the league even if he is only 75%. And the lame-assed reasoning about the bye next week, that is just more reason TO play Love, not reason NOT TO.

I'm expecting to see the Packers put a helluva lot of pressure on Goff and for Goff to go back to his long term thing prior to this season, throwing it to the other team.

Just imagine we win Sunday, We'd be 7-2
We would lead the strongest division in the NFL.
And could be the #1 seed in the NFC?
Maybe not look back.

Lovemaker has a groin strain. Ain’t like he’s John Holmes, whose trade required a healthy groin for optimal performances. Tape up the shit.

And the Pussies ain’t some lowly AFC South team. This game is for NFC North supremacy. Willis has been fine and dandy. We’re all grateful that he ain’t The Hun (Huntley), Kizer, Tolzien, or the Stoic Seneca (Wallace).

But at any figurative shoot out, I want a figurative gunslinger to be my champion. Give me Love or give me a figurative death!

Did we watch the same game? Love looked hurt and played poorly.

North is wide open. Any team could win it. Agree this is a big game but so are all of the remaining divisional games. I’m just saying Love healing for 3 weeks to the remaining schedule increases our chances of playing well for the year.

[sharpe1027]

Willis gives us a better chance if Love is anywhere near as hobbled as he was against the jaguars. Willis is playing great.

Groin strains

Recovery timeline: Groin strains are common for NFL players who make sudden starts/stops and change of direction. Minor to moderate strains usually heal with 1-3 weeks of rest, ice, compression, and modified activities. More severe strains can involve partial muscle tears, requiring 4+ weeks of rehab.

Returning too soon risks re-injury.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, and being hyper-cautious risks losing games. If Love can throw at near 100% - which he seemed to be able to do even right after the injury, and he can move at 75% or so, then he gives the Packers the best chance of winning, and he should be playing.

I don't know what some in here are thinking, but this stupid attitude of let's just be worry worts and not give it the best shot to win is just weird, especially for anybody that goes back to the Favre years and saw the injuries he played through. I wonder how many games he would have gotten stupidly held out of if the damn medical staff was more like now.

[MadScientist]

What's worse, holding him out 1 game or having him out 4 games because his injury gets a lot worse. Also his movement was less than 75%, especially in the critical areas of deception. He was unable to do much in the way of play action, let alone the pivot spin moves that adds a lot of deception to the plays. Losing that deception makes winning a whole lot harder. If Love is good to go, then great. If he isn't, let Willis have a go.

[Fosco33]

We pushed him out there for MN and it didn’t go well. We’re all armchair QBs - if he’s 90% and their doc says he won’t get more injured - fine. But if he’s 75% and risks for more injury - seems more than prudent.

Left knee and now left groin. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to sus this one out.

[texaspackerbacker]

Like I said, worry worts hahahahaha.

Just because he didn't do things doesn't mean he couldn't have, and this, of course, will be a week later.

Add to it that the play that kinda finished him was a bump in the back that he didn't see coming (sort of a cheap shot). He had to make a sudden muscular adjustment to not fall and it triggered the injury worse.

Sit him. No brainer for me.

And Rodgers will play at a high level until he is 45 and all us idiots think he has slipped and we should trade him.

Oh so he was just saving it all game for a dramatic finish then. Well damn you should’ve told us. I just thought he was trying to throw the fucking game cause he owed some motherfuckers in Vegas. Don’t risk getting your label changed from good and normal rat to Pendejo Rat. You are listening to too much media shitheads talking and hyping Love up just to get him hurt. You know that’s what they want right they want to see him go out there and get hurt and ruin the Packers season. And here you are encouraging that. I’m kind of ashamed of you.
