Love has had some overthrows and also had some drops.
I'm not worried about his completion % in the least.
The Packers have issues.....QB is not currently one of those issues.
Also pretty hard to make accurate throws when running for your life.
Love's completion % in college wasn't the greatest either. That doesn't usually increase in the NFL. The major exception to that is Josh Allen (who's college completion % was atrocious) and it took him 3 years of starting to have NFL-level completion %.
One thing I learned, today, was that Anders Carlson's brother is the kicker for the Raiders. Another is Edgar Bennett is the WRs coach for the Raiders. IMO, Edgar was the best mudder in the NFL, when he played.
#Packers coach Matt LaFleur says LG Elgton Jenkins was limited today. His third practice this week. What does he need to see from now until kickoff Monday? "Just continue to progress."

On Jenkins: "Anytime you get a player the caliber of Elgton Jenkins, that's huge for you."
Matt LaFleur says he's reminded players of NFL rules entering road trip to Las Vegas. Case in point, no casinos. It's a business trip: "If the guys want to go back out to Vegas on Tuesday evening after we get back here, they're more than welcome to. But it's about this game."

Edgar was a really good all around back even though he wasnât fast. I believe the Pack went from 1979 thru 1994 without having a 1000 yard rusher until Bennett finally broke that barrier in 1995.

Really like Edgar as an RB. Never was going to break away huge runs but would get you enough to have a decent running game.
I had to look it up about the years without a 1,000 rusher and yep that streak was true. Sad that I knew off the top of my head it was Middleton who got 1,116 yards that year.
"No Casinos"
WTAF?!?! How do you expect the guys to get in trouble and have a bad boy rep when they can't even go into a casino and pickup a HO?
Fire MLF!!
Ho Dash ?

Ah, we're back to the era where incompletions are the fault of the receivers, not the quarterback. 
Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo has cleared the concussion protocol.
Is it protocol or can't recall?

Now let's see if the Packers defense can get after him. Raiders O-Line sucks
Let's also see if the Packers can protect Love. Packers O-Line sucks.
Let's see which O-Line sucks less on Monday.
That'll probably determine the outcome of the game. Shocker, I know
Will MLF completely ignore Aaron Jones? Will Josh Jacobs rush for 200 yards??
Stay tuned, to the exciting NFL football game on Monday Night Football ððĪŽ
Mike Wahle's analysis of the game...
1) Overall the Packers have a better roster
2) However, we don't have anyone as good as Adams on offense & Crosby on defense (at least with Gary on a pitch count)
3) If we don't let those two dominate the game ,we should win.
Interested to see what in the gameplan will limit those two
As long as Marty commits to the run we should have a chance. This does not include using 28 more than AJ or doing a pitch out to Dillon, that play should be banned!
First of all....a healthy Jaire. ALL GAME LONG....Fascinating matchup of 2 elite players that highly respect each other.
They're going to move Maxx all over the line. On offense they better be calling his number out on EVERY FUCKING PLAY and blocking him with double teams or chips if necessary.
Football is a very easy game.....the team that blocks and tackles best usually wins
Unless you are the Vikings with a horseshoe firmly up your ass. At least last season. This year, not so much.
Well ok then.........happy Davante still has admiration for Green Bay.....BUT, I want to kick their arse. Pretty boy QB or not......Iâm going GBP 28. - Raid 18. âĨïļ ð ð
Gotta figure out if there's a way to start the game from the 4th quarter. Then, yes, easy pickins.
So, who on this site was in charge of getting the Powerball tickets?
Seems to me you just volunteered.
Aaron Jones questionable for tomorrow? Perhaps thatâs why MLF was so reluctant to use him last week. Dude is still injured.
1.4 billion. Crazy $$$ but we could upgrade some players, get a new D coordinator and divide a little up among us. What else? An X4 box!!!
At least one xbox.
Alexander looks iffy too. Wanted to see him vs Adams ðĪ·ââïļ. Hope it happens.
Man, if Jaire doesn't play they better triple team him like the Baltimore Ravens did in the game a couple of years ago.
Hamstring??? Oh yah, we wonât be seeing Jones for at least another 3 - 4 weeks IF that. One of the worst injuries.
When I saw week 6 bye I thought way too early. This season, probably not.
Pedantic posters perpetually pontificating.
I'm sorry you have a problem with my erudition.
Fortunately the chances of that lasting more than four hours is not possible.
Goalline, hope you had a good vacation. Anything cool to share that youâd recommend?
Asheville and Nashville. Rented a cabin in the mountains in Asheville. So beautiful. I thought there were a lot of hippies and hipsters in Madison.ðĪĢ Everyone was so nice everywhere we went. The south has a reputation it doesnât deserve. Folks are just nicer.
Nashville was on a whim on our way back home. I am definitely going back.
Sounds like a great trip. Iâve been to Asheville several times and recently and enjoyed each. Great hiking, breweries, restaurants, artwork, restaurants, etc. Nashville is fun but can be busy with bachelorette parties, etc. Still always great music somewhere!

100%. People are genuinely nice. Neighbors WANT to help each other.
I feel like race relations are way better in South than they are anywhere else too. I donât know how to articulate it, itâs just a feeling of normalcy there as there seems to be less segregation than on the west coast I go to the bar in rural SC and chances are itâs 50/50 black / white On the west coast, you stay on your side of the town Thatâs my experience at least. Iâm sure there are pockets of extremists here and there, but it appeared the normal people were more accustomed to not being segregated there than anywhere else Iâve spent time
