Studs And Duds - Packers vs. 49ers

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I put Love in the dud category because he was darn lucky to avoid needless turnovers. But it was probably an overreaction because he could just as easily have had 4 TD passes. Still think he's putting the ball in danger too much. I wonder what kind of grade Tom Clements gives him after a game like this, and whether it has any effect.

I just finished reviewing every play of this game via the condensed film.

Love made a tons of big 3rd down throws. The TD to Heath was Buttesque. Converted a 4th and 1 via QB draw. Accurate for the most part - drops and 50/50 contested catches lowered completion percentage. Packers had lead and short field after turnovers by D, so didn’t need to inflate passing yardage.

Only two turnover worthy plays: the deep pass to
Watson shortly after the Watson drop and the mini-fumble where Love pooped out rock for a second as he’s about to be sacked.

Question for you.

Why is Love throwing so many 50/50 balls when he has players wide open in the flats and Kraft open across the middle?

Seems like all the expert analyst shows are coming down on Love a bit this morning. The general consensus is that the Pack would be the elite NFC team if you’re not for his bad decisions. Their point of the niners not being the same defense as last year has me agreeing a bit.

Pretty eye opening. If Love starts being a hair more careful with the ball, we're gonna' be just fine.

A hair? It better be a few feet long because that’s about the distance on some of these passes.

"Best $250 million turd there ever was."

Of the four qualifying Turds that I can think of: Dan Bongino (Dallas), Deshaun Watson (Cleveland), Trevor Lawrence (Jags), And Jordan Love, I have to say he's the best of these Turds. They all have had high performing stretches, but only Love and Lawrence really have any chance at recovery.

It was obvious yesterday that a lot of the calls Flower made were to protect Love from bad throws. And you can see from the looks they give each other especially after what I assume was a TO by Flower to stop a bad play, that there's some pretty good tension there. I like that Flower is doing everything he can to rescue Love from his own worst instincts. Dude still has a chance to be great if he accepts and gains from the really fine coaching he's getting.

Also, as noted previously, Willis looked just as comfortable running this offense after 2 weeks as dipshit does after 4 and a half years.

The one challenge I have to this perspective is that the offense with Love and Willis was run differently, and I don't think Willis is close to being let of the chain so to speak and allowed to toss the ball all over the field. The coaches knew he wasn't/isn't ready for that. Maybe he never will be.

It's clear that coach believes Love has a greater ceiling than Willis, and thus gives (has given) him more attempts to throw. But it's also clear Love isn't playing as well as they want, and so some of the more risky dangerous throws are being taken away in favor of runs or different passing play calls. Sorry I don't have replay so I can't replay break it down into specifics.

I should look at it too, because I was at the TEN game and it was hot and I was drunk. But the sense I got was that he wasn’t being held back and that he was in control. Granted, the titans aren’t good, and they play clips from 300 to celebrate plays, so they ain’t too smart either. As you point out, I’m sure mitigation was in place for Willis, but the point remains that Love obviously was jerking off for three years instead of learning from a HOFer or even learning the offense. A lot of fucktards here want to treat Love like a second year player. He isn’t. He was just too fucking retarded to want to learn anything the first three years. And he is the slowest half black man on the earth.

Also, Nashville is about the best place to attend a GB away game if you like to drink. It doesn’t hurt that there’s like 200 actual Titans fans in the state.

Regardless of who is wrong or right you don’t get to come on here and make personal or racist attack comments like that. I am sure I disliked Rodgers more than you dislike Love but don’t recall ever saying about his race having to do with it. Just about his shitty and dbag behavior. Which you and just about everyone didn’t like me doing. Until you all did.

So hurry up and spew your thoughts. He might go off on the dolphins this Thursday and we wont see you again until after the playoffs. Like last season!!

I wish fewer people would bother engaging with obvious trolls. It diminishes the effectiveness of blocking them.

Love is playing like the 4th best QB in our division. We didn’t pay him as a franchise QB to play middling football.
I believe he has the potential, but the results haven’t been there this year.

I'm going to disagree with you there....unless you have Willis at #2, then I can agree Love is 3rd.

As the admin I have to engage all. Yeah most likely a just an agitator but he is stating his thoughts on the team. There’s no problem with that world or right. If he starts making it personal against Love, that’s a different story.

This isn’t gonna be the forum that allows that to go down.

It's not a big deal.

Agreed. You brought it up so felt the need to explain.

LOL. You guys are too much. Did you all make these posts after live chatting The View together?
