Yeah your hair has melted, bad look bro.

Last Dance. Print up the t shirts.

I thought it was not eating hot sauce packets on the toilet?

Can’t wait for the McAfee show this week. I mean the post game and week long press conferences

It has nothing to do with one game or how Love could do.  This is Last Dance bullshit.  Talk to the current QB.

If you were pragmatic, they should have dealt Rodgers. Now?  His value dropped big time.  It’s a lose lose across the board.

Love may not be the guy. But top tier Rodgers may not be enough to get them to the promised land.  Not with this defense.

The front office needs to answer for this.

Any success this season will probably hinge on how Bakh is when he comes back. If they can get to his return at 3-3 or better and he's "normal" Bakh, the OL immediately becomes a strength. If he's not back until 2022, they aren't going anywhere this year.

The Packers had the best center, guard, and OT in the league last year. They lost Linsley and replaced him with a rookie, they lost Bakh, and they moved Jenkins from guard to tackle (where he's above average but not all All-Pro). They replaced Jenkins at tackle with a guy that should probably be on the practice squad.

I pity the Lions next week.  Ooops,  I always pity the Lions.

Never understood why our Moron GM signed King for $6 Million

Maybe because he was one of the FRONT OFFICE wizards who decided King was the better pick than *******?

I mean, what institutional F'in arrogance paying $6M to a CB nobody wanted on the open market ... just because he's a Packer pick.

Rodgers ... Love ... Anthony Dilweg, it ain't gonna matter if you are trying to compete for a Lombardi and consistently trotting out crappy defenses.

Sure doesn't look like a "last dance" team, to me.

I can.

Oren Burks makes a play.

Gotta say I do not understand the joy some have because Rodgers has a bad day.

Guess some would rather be right than seeing the team win. Seems like a bizarre way to show your “fandom” but cool?

Henry Clay was neither right nor President.

The interior OL is as big a problem, if not more.

What? You missed the chance to watch 41 points…and a COVID souvenir.

I just read that to Mrs. Kiel.

Shames them?  Talk to Z. Former captain. Or maybe not.  What was he protesting anyway?  

Jesus, go soak your head. 

You of all people should never use "galaxy brain". 

Cobb!!!!!

Nub to Cobb! 

THE PARADOX!

Cobb earning his money.

That's the connection we expected for the long gain of the day. Jordan Love to the guy he'll be playing with in the future, Randall Cobb.

King. What a friggin' joke.

King is only a joke to those fans who don't sufficiently support the Pack's fine FRONT OFFENSE professionals.

You amateur's don't understand he was a better pick than the NFL defensive player of the year from Madison and how great he has been when he has battled back from unfortunate injuries and what a wise, wise, wise move it was to sign him back to the team this offseason.

Just so much collective wisdom in the FRONT OFFICE when it comes to fielding talent on the defensive side of the ball.

We're lucky to have them as we have been lucky for the past 10+ years.

The P was the best part of the day.

So they got that going for them....which is nice.

I didn't think they'd get completely blown out but I did believe they would take 3-4 games to get in shape.

How'd you guys like pre-season game #1??

@Henry posted:

Hopefully it shames every damn player and coach to get their collective shit together.

One can hope, but seldom are ass-whippings like this the “wake up call” a team needs to turn shit around. This team appears to be big fucking broken. Luckily the Lions at home is good medicine.

Bury this one and move on.

THE PARADOX!

We've really crossed the Rubicon if Cobb ends up as Love's favorite receiver.

Cobb needs reps? Why isn't Amari Rodgers running that sweep?

That's a Russ Ballz move -- has nothing to do with Gutey.

Because he didn’t play in the preseason. Probably needs to shake off rust. Looks like all of them need to shake off rust. I think it’s one thing to rest players for preseason, but maybe play all together as a unit like at least once just to get back into football shape. Team didn’t look like they had run this offense of defense even once in their life. Very disorganized. So many changes at key positions, feels like perhaps the first teams should have gotten a chance to gel.

Bingo!!!

They should have given the two minute warning a long time ago.  It's a little late now.

That was a NICE catch by Lizard!

It was all fine and good when the vets were yukking it up in shorts during preseason games…but obviously “we don’t need no preseason” isn’t true. MLF needs to quash that shit going forward. I don’t care what the vets want…they’ve proven today they could have used SOME preseason action. Especially with a brand new D in place.

Now we hope Chicago loses.

Russ Ball is the type of guy that seems to like showing he's the smartest guy in the room. Looking for "value"

Kevin King is not a complete stiff, but he needed a change of scenery as badly as any player in the NFL. It would have been like bringing Bostick back after the Seahawks game. Too much baggage and the first time something goes bad the NFL Title game is all anyone is going to think about

Just a hunch that 21 will start next week

They didn’t have preseason last year and they came out strong, but then again NO ONE had preseason and there were no fans in the stands. Some teams DID play starters. I think all these vets got into their own heads after basically resting all offseason last year and playing well, I think this was different.

Damn….we almost won garbage time

I think Love is starting to get the hang of this.

That is just a fitting end

Fitting ending. The OL couldn't block all day.

Good lesson in ball security for J. Love.

They had 2 left feet today.
