There were three ways this Packers season was going to go unfold in their first year without Aaron Rodgers.
Option B: The Packers are kinda blah.
Love looks uncertain, with occasional flashes of talent, but things never really develop into consistent success.
You end the year not knowing what to do with him.
Option C: Utter disaster.
Jordan Love has essentially regressed every week.
His deep ball is brutal to watch and the decision making late in games is jarring.
There was nothing there and the ball was easily picked.
It resembled the same kinda decision at the end of the Vegas game.
Just no need to attempt either throw.
Today Dillon was open as the checkdown with a ton of room to work with.
Who knows, with the way he was running maybe he gets the full 20.
With the Vegas one you have 51 seconds to work with.
Both infuriating interceptions to seal their fate.
Something that’s also not great?
The Packers two touchdowns today shouldn’t have been touchdowns.
This one to Romeo Doubs probably should’ve bee ruled an interception.
It’s terribly under-thrown as well, which most if not all of Love’s deep balls are.
This one to Jayden Reed, well it was wasn’t intended for Jayden Reed.
Awesome luck, troubling execution.
Here’s the Packers offensive output in the first half over their last four games.
With Denver today they were coming out of a bye.
Coming out that flat consistently is fucking insane.
Instead we’re being exposed to an absolute fraud.
Jordan Love looks like a true rookie QB who was playing against Mountain West conference opponents last year.
This is the guy who Rodgers took under his wing and groomed?
We were led astray?
Obviously you might’t simulate NFL game play in practice, but I was expecting a much more finished product.
Instead I’m looking at the 2024 NFL Draft and what pick Green Bay is going to have.
At the bare minimum just stop the conservative play calling early on.
Let Love rip it and if he sucks then he sucks.
At least you learn that for sure and feel better about moving on.
What do you have to lose at this point?
Just can’t fucking happen.
You’re simply a bad team yourself when you look like they did.
That’s an incredibly deflating performance.
If this ship keeps sinking then Gute and MLF need to be out on the streets.
This was their gamble.
They chose to not improve Super Bowl contending teams without Rodgers and instead looked to the future with Love.
It was wrong when they did it and it’s even more wrong now.
