Playoffs.

I see a lot of Jordan Love bashing today, and it’s unwarranted. If the receiver fights back through contact on the last play and draws a PI (like any vet receiver would do) the packers would have had a chip shot field goal to win the game.
Instead, with the youngest roster in the NFL, that doesn’t happen. You have to remember, Jordan has been groomed for 4 years by a guy that did those exact things, the high level parts of the game consistently - with success. But he also had vet guys - his guys - ALL around him that played at an intellectually high level with him.
What your seeing this year is a first time starter, with years of experience learning the game and seeing it a certain way - having to play with players that aren’t at that level yet. And he’s keeping his cool while going through all of that.
Not to mention he’s playing in a scheme with very little answers right now and has his back against a wall most of the game from play 1. They could be making it easier in GB right now for him but haven’t.
I feel for Jordan because this situation isn’t one that many guys would have success in currently.
The conservative playcalling in the first half has led to a dead last 32nd rank in the NFL at 4.3 ppg in the first. Imagine playing every game from behind with the youngest roster in the NFL knowing it shouldn’t be happening that way.
@Animesempai0@IKE_Packers@packers I’d say Dillion has been warming up his Atlanta game was awful but yesterday he looked a little back to his old self again
