Watch Jordan and if you have a view, watch "Gutey".

Over at today’s Aaron Nagler daily show:

“Jordan Love expected to start vs Lions”

per Tom Pelissero’s “sources”.

Was there ever a doubt this would be the case?

Not here.

Gutekunst has too much invested – from a PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION perspective – and will PERSONALLLY drag Jordan onto the field to start and play for the reasons outlined down below

But now there is another ready made excuse for more Jordan bone headed interceptions and inaccuracy and another EXCUSE for Jordan to bail out Sunday against the Lions when things get rough just like last week when Jordan BAILED against the lowly Jaguars, having allowed the most touchdown passes in the NFL and intercepted just 1 pass the entire season, last in the NFL.

Jordan Love - out with “strains” and “sprains” - clearly has a lower pain threshold than Favre or Rodgers.

From Draft Sharks:

Sep 6, 2024 NFL Knee MCL Sprain Grade 2 Love sprained his MCL on the final drive of Week 1 on Friday Night in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Favre and Rodgers played through all types of sprains and strains, including broken bones and broken thumbs.
Remember Rodgers Knee MCL Sprain?

From Draft Sharks:

Sep 9, 2018 NFL Knee MCL Sprain Grade 2 Rodgers was carted off but later returned vs. Chicago. He dealt with a sprain and a bone bruise for most of the season.

Rodgers was carted off the field in first half with Packers down to Bears 20 to 0. Rodgers returned for the 2nd half and brought the Packers back from the 20 to 0 deficit to win the game. Rodgers played through the season with the MCL sprain and bone bruise not missing a game until December 30, 2018 concussion.

In addition, where Favre and Rodgers would scramble and run and take sacks without fear, Jordan is afraid of getting touched and avoids sacks like the plague, preferring to heave the ball off his back foot or across his body in the opposite direction of where Jordan is running, where the most probable result of Jordan's pass is an interception.

And I don't blame Jordan or any of these modern day gladiators and higher than average paid wage slaves - average career less than 3 years - for not playing with pain, but certainly the hoarding, greed driven, profit seeking, profit maximizing blood sucking 31 owners want their "stars" out there to maximize the entertainment dollars that they suck in.

And in Green Bay's case, you have the added factor of Jordan Love being the player that Gutekunst (in football management only due to his father/s connections/nepotism) - the immature, impulsive, imprudent, insensitive, petulant immature impulsive impatient child seeking to create a maverick image - chose - taking a major contrarian risk in choosing all of college football's - both FBS and FCS - leader in throwing interceptions over much more needed positions - including wide receiver - to put a Green Bay team that was on the edge of winning Super Bowls over the edge.

7 Years now of Gutekunst (probably more than 7 as Ted was incapacitate in his last couple years) and the Packers have won no NFC Championships or Super Bowls because of Gutekunst's disrespect for - and fear of - Packer Hall of Famers and future NFL Hall of Famers and those veteran players that were friends of these Packer icons.

So Gutekunst tore apart the Packer team on the brink of Super Bowls and tore apart team veteran leadership and chemistry.

Consequently, given Gutekunst's illogical risk taking and personal ego driven moves, Gutekunst must win Super Bowls with Love at the QB position - no one else - to salvage Gutekunst's reputation as an NFL executive, retain his job as Packers' Gm, and find any NFL executive positions in the future.

If Jordan plays against the Lions on Sunday it will be because Gutekunst pushed the doctors to ok Jordan playing and pushed Lafleur to play Jordan and told Jordan “Hey I just paid you a guaranteed NFL record $75 million signing bonus – YOU ARE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!!”.

The Lions are beatable with the right quarterback at the helm for the Packers. This Packer team is a 14-3 or a 13-4 team with a MVP quarterback that carries the team and a 9-8 or 10-7 team if the team has to carry the QB.

Poor Lafleur – he certainly sees the reality. Hopefully the Packers runners, receivers, defense and special teams and Lafleur can carry Gutekunst and Jordan again to victory as they have been doing each week.

A good performance from our DL will go a long way towards winning this game. We need to do a reasonably good job holding firm against the run and getting interior pressure on Goff. I don't always subscribe to " the game is won in the trenches" philosophy, but I'm all in this time.

What do we have to lose by giving Valentine those extra snaps over Stokes? The latter has been in there for 61% of the defensive snaps this season and doesn't have much to show for it.

Still waiting for that "clean" game from Love--now would be a good time for it as the Lions don't need extra possessions. Branch and Joseph have 9 INTs between them, so watch it.

I hope MLF sticks with the run if it proves effective. No need to get away from something that works just for the sake of variety.

Holy $#!t.

I just tried reading the screed that was disguised as a "comment".

Reminds me of the SNL skit about the girl you regret talking to at a party.

Has Love shown at all that less than healthy he is a better option than Willis? True, Willis has not been asked to do too much, but all he has done is deliver what he has been asked to do. A less than healthy Love has not yet been shown to be a better option than Willis. There is some truth in the screed that is the first comment. We all want the Love of the Dallas playoff game last year to show up again, but he has yet to do so except for a play here and play there.

I’m going FULL MEATBALL. GO PACK GO. WIN!

I have to disagree with this take. I really believe, and many metrics agree, that the weakness to attack is Detroit's pass defense. If Love plays expect him to throw early and often because I think it's crucial to get the lead. That may be the only way to slow down the Detroit running game. To try and go blow for blow with this power running team would be a mistake and playing into the hands of the Lions. We've seen the creativity from LeFleur in the run game, this game will unveil the creativity in the passing game. With a lead the strengths of this team will be in full effect on both offense and defense. We saw the blue print last year on Thanksgiving. I expect that Watson has his breakout game here. GPG!

Watch Branch- Gute gave up a All-pro.
It wasn't the draft picks he got.
It's the "time - line" of his drafting.
The defensive Position is always; a year or two TOO Late.
