They’re just way too conservative. It feels like 50% of the throws for Washington don’t even go past the line of scrimmage. I get it, their O line isn’t that great and it’s beat up, and you’re going against Parsons. But you’re just handing the game to GB if you refuse to take any chances on offense

The coverage has been good. They need to run more.

They have to do something different. The 1st half offense just looks like the basic super conservative play calling for a rookie in his first couple starts.

Also they need to give up with this idea of Ekeler being a 3 down back. Dude just has zero juice left. I get him out there as a 3rd down back because of his blocking and route running.

You don’t even need to take deep shots. But get the offense moving. You have Jayden and Deebo on the team. Run a ton of bootleg, misdirection, give the ball to Bill to run the ball.

This offense has just been super basic borderline stuff.

Damn I wish prime Devin Hester played with this kickoff. That would’ve been so electric

There should be MORE points if someone can hit the post on a field goal attempt. Imagine the amount of aim it requires (especially from 50+ yards)?

Green Bay right now is the best team they took two great offensive teams from last year and held them to 16 points combined

Also Washingtons defense looks lost like they can't cover anything

I mean to be fair, Washington’s offense didn’t look all that great last week against NY. They had just 14 points halfway through the 4th quarter.

Ya no clue what they’re doing. Again not saying they have to start bombing 20+ yard throws every other play.

But you have Deebo, you have Daniels, Bill looks good whenever he touches the ball, you have Terry, and you have Ertz who is still a solid security blanket.

Where are the creative plays to get Deebo the ball and open space? Why are they treating Daniels like he’s Peyton Manning and he’s doing basic 3 step drops every drop back.

Get the defense moving left and right at least. You can be far more aggressive than they are. Without asking Daniels to hold the ball for 3.5-4 seconds in the pocket.

I would buy the Packers are the best team talk if they had WRs and a different QB.

To me Love just doesn’t have the IT factor. When everything is going well, he looks great. But I don’t trust him at all when things break down. And I’m just not sold on their WRs at all. To me that combo is going to be the thing that is the Achilles heel.

I have never seen coverage like this. Talk about a secondary. This could be a generational team

Kind of feels like Monday night. For 3 quarters Minnesota had way too conservative of an offense, but Chicago never did enough offensively to extend the lead out of range. Minny was forced to open up the playbook and Chicago couldn’t do anything.

Green Bay has flat out dominated this game and now with basically a full quarter to go, it’s a 1 score possession

When in doubt, throw to Kraft.

Ya as much as I’m not in awe of the WR group or Love.

The combination of LaFleur, Jacobs, a good O line and a very trusted target in Kraft.

With this defense, LaFleur can probably squeeze out 12-13 wins this year. Just don’t trust this team in the playoffs. Especially against those big boy QBs in the AFC

The Packers would at most meet one big boy QB from the AFC in the playoffs.

Non-contact injury. He grabbed his Achilles.
