It says he’s the leader and the buck stops with…

Based on the game, I can note issues with Love’s play. However, was he really much different than Rodgers when he was thrown into the 2007 Dallas game? I would point out that he was off in timing on many throws, but he also had limited time to work with Davante Adams, and once adjustments were made, he was more efficient in what was there for him.

I’m not sure if any of you caught that TikTok video Jordan Palmer put out, but it puts into perspective how difficult it is to be a backup quarterback in the NFL. Physically, you’re 100% but mentally it’s a grind because you’re hardly ever taking meaningful reps with your featured skill-position players. Those reps Love banked with Adams and Co. will pay dividends if he’s called upon again this season.

I remember after Rodgers was drafted, he and Craig Nall used to play in garbage time for Favre. Nall clearly outplayed Rodgers in those moments. If you look back to those opportunities, Rodgers played like garbage. I thought Ted Thompson made a huge mistake. And that is why I’m not a GM and I’m sitting here writing to the Inbox as a fan.

Again, there’s no reason to rush to judgement about what happened Sunday. My takeaway was how Love didn’t run from the fire. He embraced it. The youngster was hit seven times and sacked once but remained unfazed.

For all Love’s struggles, the infographic just prior to KC’s last drive showed Mahomes’ stat line was almost identical. Step back and see what happened to Josh Allen, Dak Prescott and others and I am thinking Halloween just came a week late for NFL QBs…

We can talk about Love until we’re green-and-gold in the face, but the fact is the Packers had multiple opportunities to seize control of that game and didn’t get it done. NFL defenses are holding their own right now, including the unit here in Green Bay.

Another game against the Seahawks with Russell Wilson being medically cleared just in time. Judging by our history with Seattle, I’m expecting another weird game. It seems like there have been a bunch of weird games this year, so I guess we shouldn’t really be surprised when things somehow get weird this Sunday.

There are two things you can count on anytime the Packers square off with Wilson and the Seahawks: something weird happening and a football game that’s entertaining as (heck). At 3-5, Seattle’s back is against the wall coming out of its bye week. I expect Wilson will come out firing.

When players (e.g. Rodgers) are in COVID protocol and away from the team, are they still involved in Zoom meetings and game-planning?

It sounds like Rodgers and the coaching staff are going to be in for one heck of a week on Zoom. While players on the reserve/COVID-19 list are not allowed in the building, they can be involved in the game-planning process remotely. So, the Packers will install the offense with Love here and Rodgers from afar, and see where the chips fall Saturday.

In the McCarthy era, the Packers used to practice on Saturday instead of Friday. Will the Packers do the same this week if Rodgers can’t return until Saturday?

I wanted to follow-up on this same question because LaFleur was asked about this scenario on Monday. It is worth noting the team still does a walkthrough on Saturdays. The players don’t just come in, eat breakfast and watch “Cheers” reruns. While I wouldn’t expect the Packers to push their entire Friday practice into Saturday, LaFleur said they “potentially” could adjust some things if Rodgers is back.

With all the issues the Packers are having that affect the making of field goals, does that start to get into Mason Crosby’s head even though he is a proven professional?

I’m not worried about Crosby’s headspace. He’s been lights out throughout his career despite having numerous snappers and holders. The bigger issue is finding an answer for these lingering issues on field-goal protections and now holds. It just didn’t seem like Steven Wirtel and Corey Bojorquez were on the same page.

The snapper-holder kicker rhythm was really off. How much practice time do those people get?

There’s only a select number of special-teams periods in practice, but the specialists get a fair amount of work off to the side. Wirtel has been with the team all season. The Packers didn’t just sign him off the street. So, he’s been getting some work with Bojorquez and Crosby all year. You would hope it’s just some early jitters and Green Bay can iron out those issues.
