  1. Jordan Love in 2023 (so far) First 7 games this season 11 TDs, 8 Ints 135 comp / 234 Att - 58% completion 1492 yards passing QB rating over 100 - 2 times Packers record - 2 Wins, 5 Losses Last 7 games this season 14 TDs, 3 Ints 169 comp / 252 Att - 67% completion 1876 yards passing QB rating over 100 - 5 times Packers Record - 4 Wins, 3 Losses I think if we're looking to see if Jordan has shown improvement as the season wears on (and opponents' DCs see his tendencies and weaknesses), the results are pretty clear and convincing. And that's what I was hoping for - improvement.
  2. While it wasn't the same situation given the amount of time in both games, the Packers did this in week 2 against the Saints. They were down 17-3 in the 4th with 7 min left. They scored and went for 2 (converting). Made the score 17-11. They got the ball back after a defensive stop (easier than recovering an onside kick) and scored again to make it 18-17. And that ended up being the final score.
  3. Pretty remarkable. Will be interesting to see how he fairs with a game in Buffalo in December weather and a game in WDC in January.
  4. So Bellinger will be signing with the Dodgers tomorrow or Tuesday.
  5. If the mystery team sees its shadow, how many more days/weeks of this insanity will there be?
  6. What does that analysis of the play have anything to do with Love's "progress" ?? Andy Hermann is basically saying that, but for the CB making a great reaction, Doubs is actually pretty wide open. Love recognizes the coverage at the snap and puts the ball in an area where the WR can make a play.
  7. Maybe not quite the "lucky prayer" you're making it out to be. Pretty good analysis although certainly some degree of luck involved.
  8. Former head ref Terry McCauley said it best - first 59 minutes officiated well, last minute pretty poorly. -hit out of bounds on Mahomes was a joke, shouldn’t have been a 15 yarder. -fumble/down by contact was correct call, but why did the clock not start after the ejection of Pacheco. Clock was running and player was ruled down by contact. Clock should’ve started prior to snap. -MVS was pushed backwards a yard or two and then pushed out of bounds. Ref stopped the clock. Forward progress was stopped and clock should’ve continued. -MVS was absolutely fouled on the deep pass inside the 10. Should’ve been PI on GB. -the push in the end zone is PI but there’s 8-10 players in the area all going for the ball. That will almost never get called. How many refs are even near enough to see what 8-10 players are doing in real time? Tough play, but there is PI by the rule on just about every Hail Mary in the end zone.. Packers played well and Love is looking better and better as the season moves on. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
  9. O'Connell is safe in Minnesota as he seems to be a pretty good HC so far. But after that: Lions - the guy seems like a meathead; was awful to start his tenure but then the team played really well from the middle of last season until the middle of this season; they're trending in the wrong direction. Browns - Stefanski started 11-5 then 8-9. then 7-10. Probably safe but slipping in the latter part of the season shows another coach with a downward trend. Cardinals - Jonathan Gannon is in his first year of a 5-year deal and he inherited a trainwreck. But Bill Bidwell is the owner so anything is possible. Falcons - Arthur Smith has been anything but solid in his previous 2 years as HC with two 7-10 seasons. He has them hovering around the same mark. Their remaining six opponents are a combined 20 under .500 with the best record being the Colts at 6-5. Another losing season and he could be kaput. Packers - I don't see the Packers firing LaFleur after his first season with Love (and without AR), but after the loss to Detroit to end last season's playoff possibility, and then a potentially poor season this year, it could happen. Doubtful, but possible. So are the Bears like a black cat to the remaining teams on their schedule?
  10. Haven't watched Carolina this season, but Bryce Young has literally no decent WR/TE to throw to.
  11. Anyone think Hottovy and the Cubs pitch lab could help out Kolby Allard? Former Top 50 prospect and only 26. Was non-tendered.
  12. Sure. But which coast? You don't specify.
  13. I think a lot of sports fans (including many Packers fans) forget the experience level (or lack thereof) of his WR/TE group. They are ALL first and second year players. They’re learning the playbook, learning coverage looks, learning the speed of the game, and by the way, making plenty of mistakes in the process. I don’t think Love will have a career similar at all to Favre or AR. And it wouldn’t be fair to expect that. But I think it’s certainly reasonable to give him the entire season and compare the first 4-6 games to the last 4-6 games and then view the season as a whole.
  14. Who plays third base the other 80 or so games for all the times Madrigal will be out/on the IL?
  15. Until today, Michigan couldn’t have had a softer schedule. OSU has been tested, and is good on both sides of the ball.
  16. I moved to the Tucson area in 2019. So I adopted them as the “home team”. Basketball has been fun to watch as they’ve been fast, big, an athletic since Tommy Lloyd arrived from Gonzaga. Jed Fisch has really turned a horrible football program around in just three years.. So, , yeah, Packers and AZCats! 😎
  17. My adopted Arizona Wildcats go into Cameron a knock of #2 Duke. Let’s not crown too many programs this early in the season.
  18. Oh Brailyn Marquez, what could have been.
  19. How do you think Benetti felt having to listen to Stone all those years.
  20. Brendon Little to the Blue Jays for cash.
  21. This has to be a little bit of a concern, no? Wonder, if like Maddon, this board will eventually hate Counsel.
  22. Happ is the clumsiest looking two-time gold glove winner ever.
  23. I believe strength of schedule.
  24. Knee-jerk reactions are common about young players.
  25. A certain poster's favorite shining brightly again.
