Excited to see what Love can do (imagine the organization is too). JSO has a piece out comparing the opportunity to AR's game against the Cowboys in '07.
@packerboi posted:Per MLF "Kevin King looks pretty good". Said they will see how he progresses up through Sunday. Sounds like he'll practice today.
“Hey Joe, King is good to go? Perfect, make sure he shadows Tyreek Hill the entire game.”
Perfect
#Packers are not making Jordan Love available to reporters today. They are making their new long snapper available, however.

@Grave Digger posted:I don’t know about Adams, but I imagine if Bakh plays it will only be a handful of snaps. MLF has talked about wanting to ease him back into things.
Don’t see the point in playing Bakh a handful of snaps unless it’s at the end of an already-determined-outcome game. You put him in at LT and that for a few snaps you have to move Jenkins. Unless the plan is to play Nijman (doubtful).
If Bahk is ready, start him and let him play the whole game. If there’s even the slightest doubt, save him for next week.
There’s going to be plenty of times the Packers have 3-4 CBS on the field, so KK will be needed. Even when JA is back. KK isn’t great, but he better than a lot of the crap “talent” in the league.
King doesn't need to be healthy enough to start, but I'd like to see him healthy enough for depth/packages. The last thing we need is to have him get isolated on Hill, though.
I think Daktari should go if he's ready. It would be good for him to get some game reps, and he needs to get in 'football shape'. There's bound to be a bit of rust.
Who knows about Keke? History shows that most Packer players who have went into concussion protocol are out 2 weeks. Keep in mind he had a concussion at the end of last season that kept him out the last 3 games they played.
No idea how severe Lowry's hammy is. He was limited in practice today. I hope he is available, though; he's had a good season thus far, and I'd like to see him continue that.
It would be interesting to be in the facility to get a true feeling of the pulse of the team. Are they going to come out flat since AR is out and we’re going to win the division? Or do they play their asses off for Love?
Good question Doc. If GB truly has the great locker room they say they have and solid leadership amongst the players, I'd fully expect them to rally around Love and play well.
A peak into the future.. https://t.co/TEbKaTyrux

#Packers QBs coach Luke Getsy said that in practice, C Lucas Patrick went up to QB Jordan Love and told him how excited how he was about the way he was handling calls and the huddle.

Just hope he can handle the crowd noise.

I think they will. They rallied around being down so many players last week, along with one coach, in a hostile environment and won the game nobody expected them to win. I expect MLF and the team leaders to rally around this situation as well. Love's going to make mistakes though, let's just hope those aren't turnovers because that will be hard to overcome. At least he's getting a few horses back this week which should help.
If Bacteria's back, I wonder if we should move Jenkins to center to have the best five on the field? Bak, Runyon, Jenkins, Patrick, Turner? Seems to me Newman is the weakest link...for now.
This is as good a game as any for Love to get his feet wet. The Chiefs defense is terrible but their offense is going to push LeFleur to stay aggressive, so he's not going to be able to just hide Love, score 20 points and get a win. LeFleur is going to have to let Love sling it around a little and put up some points.
I'll be interested to see the run/pass ratio after the game. If LeFleur relies too much on the run, it may tell us that he has reservations about Love (at last at this point in his career). I'll also be interested in what kind of chemistry Love and Adams have. Depending on what happens with Rodgers this offseason, this game may help to convince Adams to stay (in addition to a whole lotta $$$$$).

That’s what I would like to see. Newman looked good in preseason but he is making too many rookie mistakes.

I don’t think Adams is staying without Rodgers even if top money is offered. Only way I see him staying is if Rodgers demands it and puts his money where his mouth is by giving up some of his coin so it can go to Adams.
I hope Love kicks ass and the Pack win by 20
I also really hope no one else gets hurt, we really need a game like that
@PackLandVA posted:And the KC defense.
The KC defense hasn't been that great this year. BUT, they are going up against a guy who hasn't played and that could make them look better.
Then key to this one is a no brainer and that's MLF. He has shown he can get this team prepared, puts together a great offensive game plan, and playing together no matter what this season has thrown their way.
I won't pick a win in this spot because honestly I don't expect it but this one is going to be way more competitive than we thought it would be earlier in the week.
@The Heckler posted:The KC defense hasn't been that great this year. BUT, they are going up against a guy who hasn't played and that could make them look better.
But they have nothing to really gameplan for vs. Love other than some preseason snaps with backups. There is plenty of tape on MLF's offense but not with Love at the helm. I think that's a big advantage as long as Love and the 1's can get some successful prep done before Sunday. I think this game falls more on MLF than Love. He needs to know what Love can and can't do and call the game accordingly. I'll be glued to the telly!
Chiefs defense:
— Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 5, 2021
– Giving up 4.6 yards per carry
– 32nd in run defense grade at @PFF
– 29th in run defense DVOA at @fboutsiders
I wonder how the Packers could help protect their young QB?
And with one of the best RB tandems in the league.
If Love only needs to complete passes on 3rd and 3….it’s a good thing.

Well that's strange, given that he's a rookie & all.....
But shouldn't a high draft pick play perfect?
Maybe Douglas will show off more balls:

Like many of you I have been wishing for more of an aggressive attack from the middle of the defensive line. I have hoped for a big body to replace these guys. This season the above players have been playing just that way. So, for me, I really hope that they can play and play well. “Rhino” has been making a difference this year.
FWIW: Demovsky has it 27-17 Chiefs.
Is he playing?
Then worth points are zero.
Solid analysis.
On AR and JL… AR tested positive I believe. How in the hell can the backup QB not be a close contact? Really, many other people too. Can’t believe AR doesn’t have people constantly around him.
Rodgers has been on Pat McAfee for the past several minutes, based on Twitter extracts he’s putting some, should I say politely, whacked-out ideas out there. If I can find a decent YouTube link of his comments I’ll post it.
