Inside the Packers War Room

Ryan Gutekunst: let's draft bad players instead of good ones.

Mark Murphy: that's genius. I knew I was right to hire you despite literally nobody else wanting to.

Matt Lafleur: I'm gay.

Is it finally okay for us to acknowledge that Justin Fields is bad?

How many seconds, on average, did Fields have to throw? Watching it live, I felt like he had plenty of time to throw but that he was actually just not very good at throwing it. Because he's bad.

Love is fine. He missed an open shot to Doubs on their second to last drive but he didn't have many bad throws. He drew two big PI calls too.

AJ Dillon tripping over himself and failing to get first downs was the killer.

... why? This would be one of the worst decisions they can make right now. This team isn't making the playoffs, you have to see if Love is the guy or not. Maybe these 6 games are just growing pains, you don't and won't really know until the end of the season. I'm leaning fairly strongly towards "not the guy" but this isn't a Jets situation.

He's not

Rodgers went 6-10 his first year starting. Give the kid this season and next to see if he has a bounce back like Rodgers did. Benching him now would be pointless.

If he gets injured and Sean lights it up, then go hog wild and hope for a Purdy scenario, but they picked this dude and extended him, they at least have to give him a season to play out when there's zero expectations.

Rodgers wasn't outright dogshit that year though. Love ain't winning 6 games.

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.

The receivers were playing too passive, the O-line was injured and bad, and Love still doesn't have much experience. Now it seems like the receivers have a better idea of what to do, they are fighting for the ball, and the line is no longer crumbling. The line is still bad, the run game is terrible (tonight excepted), and everyone on offense is still insanely young.

But we've got green grass and bad teams in front of us and can make the playoffs if we beat teams we should beat. The only "good" team left on the Packers schedule is Minnesota, and they are actually bad.

The Bears defense got hosed when they lost two corners and Eberflus seemingly had no faith in his backups to play man on blitzes.

But yeah it was a loving dire gameplan. "Hey guys, Jordan Love falls to poo poo when pressured, what's the plan? Uh, Rush 4 and let him find holes in Zones?"

He actually doesn't. He plays really well against the blitz.

Yeah they had a bad game. I've liked what I've seen from all of these rookies. Brisker made some plays, Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson were fine.

It's just once again, if you can't generate pressure this is what happens when you play a heavy dose of Cover 2.

EJax is turbo cooked though.

They desperately need another edge, and a DT either from internal improvement taking a step, or elsewhere.

Good thing they have a billion picks. They should keep Fields.

You need to find some way to actually pressure him. He's been fine against the Blitz but you have to do something other than just letting him throw into Cover 2 zones. Play man or loving do something if your 4 aren't getting there.

Guy's got 32 TDs. It literally doesn't matter what you do, he's gonna get his.

I mean the Packers only scored 17. Whether you force a punt or not isn’t terribly important

The refs jobbed them out of 4, LaFluer hosed them out of 3, and their rookie kicker also cost them 3. The game was never particularly close and it was obvious the Packers were getting anything they wanted.

He hired the offensive coordinator! Eberflus wanted to install the Green Bay offense here.

They either bring Fields back for his 3rd OC in 4 years. Or they draft a QB who will play 1 year under a lame duck coach and then have to learn a whole new system the following year. The franchise never ever learns.

Which is hilarious because Getsy interviewed for and didn't get the Green Bay OC job. That should have been a big red flag.
