I totally get he was our best option and was on board with the extension. but still can't believe so many here wanted to give him one more year at like $55m. let's see him cook in the playoffs first

There really should be QB controversy in GB.

We’re a year too early. It’s ok. If you told me we’d finish over .500 the last two years, wouldn’t have believed it.




Will that be the excuse next year to " we are a year to early" if anything last year should of matured them for the playoffs

Hot take, this team (like most of them) is not built for the cold. They seem to not want to be out there.

I'm willing to give him some time to develop some consistency. Dude makes some ridiculous throws that not many QB's can make, but this season he's more often than not throwing off his back foot and when that starts, his accuracy plummets.

How much will the Packers be on the hook for if they trade Love, lol. Trade him as a package deal with Watson, lol.

That throw he made to Kraft is something Love hasn't been doing much of this year. I remember it more last year but i could be wrong.

MLF could help Love by calling the game like he does for Willis. More running, and play action. MLF thinks he has to big arm it down the field with Love when our offense runs better off the run and the actions that come off it.

Jayden Reed has had a disappointing year. Think that's more on MLF and Love than him but still.

This, 100%.

Why do we abandon Jones and Kraft when Love is in?

Yeah, but how many of those throws have just been good luck? Seeing him throw downfield to Kraft in triple coverage is a terrible decision. If Kraft miraculously catches it, that doesn’t make it a great throw. There was a TD pass earlier this season in the back of the end zone that he threaded through multiple defenders. Was that a great throw because it missed the defense by half an inch, or was it luck?

Could be either, but we see average QBs make great looking plays against us too, it happens. I definitely hope I’m wrong.

Why pitch when you’re killing them up the gut?
