Watson just can’t stay on the field. Two years in a row missing multiple games. He hardly played in the preseason to avoid just this situation, yet here we are. Frustrating.

Understanding is that Jones and Watson COULD play, but they're trying to get them back close to 100% for Thursday v. the Lions.

Thursday games are an abomination.

Nothing can be done about health of players. It's a full contact sport.

The silver lining is this is yet another opportunity to develop the youth that potentially is the future of the team. See what they do well, learn from what they don't.. it all helps the development of the team for the long term, and game day experience now can lead to massive returns down the stretch if they are called upon later in the season.

GPG

GREAT WIN!!

Poor game. Great first defensive series. GREAT fourth quarter. In between? Lots of problems. I'm not saying our players were perfect, but I see them outperforming our coaches and by a wide margin.

Still, being behind all game and winning by one point in the fourth quarter vs having a lead all game and in the fourth and losing by a point? GPG! JL10 led his first fourth quarter comeback, I think it matches the biggest for GB ever, and his air raid "only" got burned with one interception. I do want to see a more balanced attack and less hero ball, but 2-1.

VIikings lost, Lions won. Thursday! No new injuries? How's Valentine?

Dolphins put up a ridiculous 70 points, holy cow.

They both practiced this week...Packers gambling they can win without them today to try to be full strength for the Lions

I'd like to hear that these players put in some time today (yes game day) in the rehab queue.) No need to show their faces on the sidelineIMO.

Wilson got one chance and blew it with a short pass back to JL10. #28 is doing well but MLF's use of him is still questionable; too predictable and their D is adjusting very quickly.

Get #31 Wilson some more runs!

First few possessions were not that surprising; we got a three and out due to our pass rush, our O was totally outclassed, then Saints got a TD. I didn't really expect them to get that so quickly.

Not fond of the early 4th down call to go for it.

I guess the "LaFleur isn't aggressive enough" crowd should be happy they got what they wanted.

Offense was just a beat off in the first half, now looks lost in the second.
Packers defense actually hasn't been horrible. Not great, but they're right there. Just need to make a play.

Hopefully someone pulls it together.

You’re just saying that because it didn’t work. If it had, you’d be applauding it as brilliant, gutsy, innovative, creative, etc.

How about stuffing the run?
Blanketing the receivers?
Sacking the QB?
Forcing a fumble?
Pick 6?

Damn, I’d make an awesome DC.
I’m astounded to not be employed in the NFL.

Campbell late to the scene....

I agree 100% with this.

It seemed like MLF was listening to the loud Packers fans' complaints about not "playing to win" and not being "aggressive" like the Falcons were last week, and his mission was to prove he IS an aggressive play caller on offense.

A shame- because IMO, LaFleur's "aggressive" playcalling on 4th down(s) robbed the Packers offense of 6 pts, broke any chance of establishing offensive momentum early, and also led to helping put the Saints' offense in stellar starting field position that led to the the first offensive touchdown by the Saints.. the ONLY offensive touchdown by the Saints.

This game could have looked entirely different had MLF played with his head instead of his heart.

In the end, it worked out, and the team is better for it.. but yeah... PUNT THE BALL.. especially in a 0-0 game.

Dillon has been doing well, but MLF is making the same mistake with both him and Wilson. Keep doing the same thing repeatedly and expect this D not to stop it in the backfield?

.

Don't forget about the head first dives. Then last week he ran over a guy.

And I thought it looked like he partially shanked it. I'll guarantee you that ball did not strike where Whelan intended. I've seen him bobble it just like that several times in practice. It's entirely different when he connects with it cleanly.

This is what I said when there was still a competition; Whelan's leg is bigger but he's inconsistent. Carlson has either improved or just performs better under pressure, while Whelan looks unchanged over the last 6 weeks.

Yes. At a cost. IMO, the cost of doing that is greater than the value of the longer return. Just like punting it out of bounds so your opponent doesn't have the opportunity to do that to you. I think the math backs me up on that.

Going air raid offense. Just take what's open! Using Musgrave more is good.

I keep fearing injury. Good thing he's tough.

Qoojo.....he was playing the ball....with the back of his head? How the hell?

But the DB didnt obstruct Doubs i dont think that is a PI. The one before that series there was a clear PI that Qoojo was referring to i believe that was a PI

And keep getting beat. Maybe try something else.

They're used to it.

Everything Love throws is off the mark. Short on the long ball, overthrown on the medium, mix in some penalties, clueless coaches and we’re looking at a good draft pick.
This game looked over as soon as Love under threw Doubs near the end zone.

4 drives/7 penalties.

Give the coaching staff extensions.

Yes, he is an ass.

It doesn't look like it now, but it sure did when we went +30 in our opener.

They will never admit being wrong. Over the last 3 quarters Love has had a total of 85 passing yards. What a joke…

Many referred him not the only problem . He was part of the problem since he was the highest paid in this team at that time ppl expected a little more from him.

There are n number of issues with the team coaching is of this main problem is coaching they play soft and the issues continue every yr not a single thing changed.
Next many dont agree with me here but Gutey hasn't been great with his Picks he was okish so many whiffs. He is too much caught up in measurables.

Yes he was, (after the game to be fair.)

Who is Dennis Smith?

It’s not JB.. the problem is his boss. LaFluer is actually a bigger problem than Barry.

Joe Barry's defense gave up 10 points today..

and 7 of those points came from a horrible decision by MLF to go for it on 4th down in a 0-0 game to give the Saints exceptional starting field position.

delete

This didn't age well

Agree. Regardless of today, if we beat the Lions on Thursday we'll be in first place in the division.

Are you kidding? Injuries??
Starting with the championship game against SF in 2021 and including today’s likely outcome MLF is 8-12… including a horrible loss to Detroit that cost a playoff berth.
We are totally out coach on both sides of the ball week after week.
BTW .. there is a difference between a fan and a cheerleader.

And he WON!

Hopefully no injury turns up after the adrenaline wears off ...

Passed the final.

The Packers have the QB of the future... they've 'done it again'.

And we've held New Orleans to 54 yards on 15 carries.....not even 4 yards a carry. It's really helped us.

I was not fond of the playcalling today at all.

They persevered regardless of the play calling.

I think MLF is a better coach than most give him credit, but today.. MLF was making it really hard on the offense.

Indeed.

This guy is baller.

Needs to start faster.

We're in position for a comeback.

Well, so much for that. First play, another penalty.

I agree this is the worst LaFleur game yet, and that includes the game against the Chargers where the offensive line was hung over, over even the two openers where we got waxed 30something to 3.

I agree.

With that said.. it IS the youngest team in the NFL, and they do not have their veteran players on the field due to injury.

Is he though?

It all started with the bad decision to go for it on 4th and 2 in 1st quarter, which flipped field position and got the saints offense going with a short field + Clark's moronic penalty.

hahahah.....compared to a weak chemtrailer who is afraid of science MLF is a freaking hero. AR would have lost that one big and he would complain about the rookies, the weather and the planes of course. And then he would call Rogan so he can explain the world to him. A guy who might even be dumber than you.
Thanks God we got a leader, a better QB than AR and a 10 time better person. Lombardi would be so proud.

Whithout the flatearther everyone enjoy football again, the lockerroom, the fans and you can even let the kids watch again. What a blessing

Love has been off the whole game. Even several completions, he was behind the WR.

Spot on.
