This was really weird. Bagent has a huge arm. They also had Peterson kneel at the end of the game. Is there some bonus in his contract for taking a few snaps that the coaches wanted to get him?

I know it goes against Poles strategy but bringing back Jaylon would give the Bears a pretty good secondary. Stephenson has been improving.

Yeah I was admittedly pretty low on Stevenson � felt like a lot of the early hype around him was just because he had a starting spot despite the fact he wasn't actually playing well in that role � but he had a pretty nice game Sunday. I should know by now that most young CBs are gonna have growing pains, but whaddaya gonna do

Between Jaylon/Stevenson/Gordon/Smith it definitely feels like CB is the most promising young position group on the roster. The three younger guys might not all pan out but they've shown some encouraging stuff

I've never been low on Stevenson.

When he's been used correctly he's been great.

Once dude learns what he can and can't get away with in the NFL, and like generally gets used to and sees more thing I think he's going to be great.

Gordon is a great slot corner, he's had some real solid run fits since being back, and has been good.

This roster you just gotta play 2 high man, in most cases. All 4 of their top corners are best at man, re JJ, TS, KG, and TS(Smith).

It's telling that once Matt took over calling the defense he started instantly calling more man defenses.

Rookie Corner, Rookie QB and Rookie Tackle are probably the hardest positions to just come in and play in the NFL. And Rookie QB's and to a lesser extent Tackles will have OC generally be able to scheme ways to protect you.

Rookie Corners are generally out on an island and targeted every single loving play

Alan Williams being a walking HR violation might end up being the thing that saves Eberflus's job. If he survives the year somehow.

Because he at the very least is showing he is mostly capable of scheming and calling a defense well.

I'm honestly shocked that Eberflus has been willing to change up the defense as much as he has. A few weeks ago I was thinking "Well, some of these pieces on defense might be better than they've looked and we'll find out once we get a defensive coordinator who's willing to play to their strengths rather than being married to a conservative vanilla scheme," and I really didn't anticipate that we'd get a glimpse of it under Eberflus instead.

Would be nice if he had done this stuff in the offseason rather than waiting until we got lit up for the first month of the season while his defensive coordinator conducted Undisclosed Behavior, but better late than never from a guy who I didn't think had it in him

And to disprove that would be all of the commercials for the nfl featuring justin fields before the season started. I dont know what they were thinkin spotlighting a chicago qb, but they did and the monkey paw fuckin curled.

I think Flus extremely trusted Alan Williams. And wanted to delegate playcalling like he said he would at the start.

Oops bad call

Pops Mgee posted:

Rodgers got to throw to Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, James Jones, and Jordy Nelson that year. All of Love's receivers are in year one or two.

That was Jordy's rookie year, James Jones barely played and wasn't good yet. Greg Jennings was good, but it was his 3rd year. Driver obviously was awesome and a veteran.

I don't think there's a big enough difference in receiving talent between those years to excuse Love throwing 57% and on pace for 20 INTs.

# ? Oct 23, 2023 13:57

Cognac McCarthy: Oct 5, 2008; It's a man's game, but boys will play

I think Love is clearly the guy. Packers should extend him and even if they end up with a high draft pick, they should just trade back or get the best punter or fullback on the board to really round out the roster

The worry for me is how much he�s missing the open receivers. If they can�t get open, and he�s trying to create and not achieving, fine. If he isn�t seeing the open guy, ok that�s not great, but possibly fixable. Missing the wide open guy at a higher percentage than any other QB right now? Tough pill to swallow.

gently caress No.

24-16 against the loving titans? Losing to the Steelers and the Colts? This team sucks rear end. Sucks turds out of rear end. I�m tired of the Lions getting undervalued against a team like this.

Listen this is a young team, with a 1st year starter. Better to lock him in now before the market gets reset by the next big QB contract.

This is wildly underselling the value of having a good, savvy vet like Donald Driver on the team.

The big worry is that we haven't seen a single game this season where they've put up two strong halves. The first half has consistently looked weak and limp-dicked. Good second halves, but you have to show up for the whole game.

First halves:
Week 1: 10 points, gave up 6
Week 2: 10 points, gave up 9
Week 3: 0 points, gave up 17
Week 4: 3 points, gave up 27
Week 5: 3 points, gave up 10
Week 7: 0 points, gave up 9

That's 6 points to 63 in the past four games.

Just to emphasize this:

Obviously the Packers should trade for an experienced vet to teach the team how to WR. Im sure Davante Parker or a Marquise Godwin could be acquired. Get the foundation set then get Love a Danny Dimes type extension.
