Week 1 Packers @ Saints (game thread)

[Ceodore]

Let's get Love some reps

 

[RepStar15]

What an absolute dumpster fire.

 

[AGreen2AJones]

Not an excuse. This pinheads refs are supposed to be "professionals."

This is always one of the dumbest arguments from the people that never opened a rulebook or officiated. Professionalism should mean perfect? Stupid as can be. The game is super quick. This is why they need an extra official on video to look at these. But alas.

 

[areyouready]

HUGE hold on the left tackle on that TD!

Yes. Refs arent quite ready for prime time either. Maybe by week 17.

 

[desertdog55]

By whom? Lol

I almost feel sorry for the Lions. They are going to get absolutely destroyed a week from tomorrow.

Rodgers has played a very bad game. Very bad. But I'm failing to see where some are leaping to the conclusion that he isn't trying. What exactly is this based on?

A poor performance doesn't necessarily equal lack of effort.

He’s trying but he’s very unprepared imo. It’s very apparent to me he had not had the adequate time. They take this league for granted and the league passes you by when you do that. Peyton was obviously prepared and we severely underestimated our opponent. I’d remove Rodgers immediately and put Love in. This is the type of game you then lose your QB. One of the worst games of Rodgers career, get him out.

I’m pretty certain Aaron Rodgers did this to himself. This is what happens when you make it all about you. God has spoken and he doesn’t lie and he hates the arrogant. It’s so egregious I’m not even upset. Not even a little. I’ve been on the end of this stick so I recognize it.

Im just glad Jordan gets some play. He deserves better than this circus around him

 

[Cornelius Weems]

They've given up 24 points through 3 quarters. Not good but we've all see FAR worse.

They haven't converted a 3rd down. How many NFL games have you watched where teams haven't converted a 3rd down? This is gross.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Love should be in. Not because OMG BENCH RODGERS!, But there are still 16 games left in the season, give him some reps.

 

[melvin dangerr]

For a minute I thought I was watching and Alabama game seeing how they hand out beat downs like this

I don’t think he’s conciously not trying. He mentally quit 5 months ago. The edge is gone.

I can't believe you're putting yourself in a position to look so bad when it's all said and done.

You didn't have to be perfect to get that call correct. You merely had to be competent. It wasn't even close.

 

[rmontro]

It would be nice to see Love, but at this point Rodgers looks like he could use some reps.

 

[AGreen2AJones]

Okay, clearly you have zero clue what you're talking about.

 

[melvin dangerr]

We’re lucky Brees isn’t still the QB the score could have been in the upper 40s

 

[Mondio]

That’s about what I think. They need to run something until they get it right. Or be out there to endure the humiliation

 

[Jim Lite]

Reminiscent of the Packers I grew up with--late '40s & 50's (before Lombardi).

 

[JK64]

The Packers look like a team that has sat out the preseason. Especially Rodgers. Terrible!

The defense looks terrible too. They have to bench King.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Are you s**ting me King should be cut,

 

[LetzBreel]

I am embarrassed for the Packers organization. It makes the off season stuff look like it did a lot of damage. I hope for #12 's sake that he doesn't talk to the press and goes into hiding for a week. Maybe he can figure some crap out, maybe not. I actually feel sorry for him. In this situation, he is his own worst enemy. Next week will tell the story cause the crap is just going to get deeper and deeper.

 

[PackAttack12]

The only two players I've seen today that stood out are Dillon and Bojorquez (only because he's so damn much better than Scott).

 

[RepStar15]

Why are they so committed to Kevin King?

 

[JK64]

Fire Barry!

 

[Tminus6453]

^This^.

 

[BrokenArrow]

Wrong. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. You're one of those referee apologists, aren't you? Good to know you're fine with the call... that it was "understandable" to you.
