You may like Love more than Rodgers, but he is nowhere near the QB Rodgers was. I do hope he starts protecting the ball better. eleven INTS. is way to many VS 18 TD's. Life long, (and it's been a long life) Packers fan. GPG....
I'd say Love is off to a good start as a system QB on our team, good team player, calm and in control with short memory for bad plays, and with a high potential to improve.

By comparison, I recall Aarons first year here was much more dismal, especially considering the previous year when we were 1 play away from another Superbowl. Also recall his last 5 years here, 2 playoff wins. But true, he led the league in Stats (mostly due to his tendency for high percentage completions at or behind the line of scrimmage), he also led the league in Drama, Self promotion, and comparing himself to Tom Brady. In reality stat-wise, he can be compared to Trent Dilfer. To summarize his playoff record flaws, the man had No-Heart, No-Leadership. Wish he left sooner. Feel sorry for the Jets fans. The future looks brighter for Green Bay.

if you are watching SNF, answer me this, why did NYG let Barkley go?????????

They spent a good chunk of their money on a QB they just cut half way through this season… No idea what they were thinking when they made that call, Barkley was the only thing that team had going for them for 6 seasons..

Because Barkley has spent half his career on IR. He is great when healthy. Also expensive. Really expensive when he is on IR.
NY is a train wreck. Nothing they have done in a decade was good. Barkley is better off elsewhere. Hope he stays healthy.

That's the NFL. Running backs are the most undervalued position on a team. Spending big $ on running backs doesn't pay off in success. The road from rookie sensation to fossil is a short one. Plenty of analytics to support the trend of dumping running backs (passing league, more QB's running, injuries). Look at the draft. Rarely is a running back taken in the top half of the 1st round (this year was an exception).

Another question is why would anyone release Derrick Henry? No one in the league wants to tackle him.

Nick Chubb may be the one exception to a team not dumping a popular but injured running back. Of course, that's Cleveland who isn't exactly a great example of NFL success.

He's probably single handle caused more injuries than any other player in the NFL. Every cornerback/safety's nightmare is him getting into the open field!!!!!

Anyone see the end to Da Bears game yesterday? Even as a life long Packer fan, that was rough to watch. Oh well, they'll be getting another head coach. QB Williams has not much brain matter in the case.

It also matched the ending to today’s game. Poor coaching and a bad snap to end the game. Have to feel bad for max Crosby. Dude is a beast on a shit team.

A W is a W in the NFL, but KC is one lucky team this year. Don't see the luck holding up too well in the post season.

And what about the rookie TE for the raiders speaking of a great player on a shit team? 140 yards and a TD is next level TE play for a vet but a rookie is crazy. This is what TK used to do before TS drained (or whatever word is most appropriate) all his energy. :ROFLMAO:
