I responded to a question about why there may be apathy for this game.  
 

I didn’t question the talent on Detroit. 
 

I pointed out that they don’t have a QB anyone wants to watch, and nobody - aside from hardcore NFL fans - is all “I can’t wait to see what Hutch and St Brown do out there tonight!!”

It's more of a happiness for Detroit. 

 

Finally having a team to cheer for. 

 

I went to both Detroit games last year and I thought it was nice venue and a good time.

Valid. If I was east coast, I’d be in bed by halftime. I’m old now.

I strongly disagree

I think Love looks poised.  Unrattled.  And focused.  He is never watching the rush.  Its like he has command of the offense.

But it feels like they are running only the plain vanilla plays.  

 

Poise. Focus. This describes Jordan Love indeed.

For the life of me I'll never understand how QBs with such little football awareness make it to the NFL 

 

You can look at Jordan Love and know right away, yeah that ain't it.   

Josh looked like this in some games in his rookie year.

A clear case of QBUI

Bears/Redskins next Thursday... I'll be skipping that one.

Bears might not be there … loser of Bears/ Broncos gets relegated to the XFL 😂

Well, GB has quit. That’s some impossibly bad tackling.

The kid has 3 NFL starts and is playing in his first primetime game.

The chances of him looking good out of the gate tonight fell somewhere between slim and none.

 

 

 

He may be a virtual rookie longer than Ryan Fitzpatrick was.

The proper terminology is "experienced".

I am experienced enough that I already sent the ol' battle axe upstairs to fluff my pillow

All about opportunities. Kincaid doesn’t control how the Bills use him. 

hence the use of the words "MAY not"

that one got me

Al: "Green Bay wants to get the hell off the field"

 

Cranky Al is a national treasure. By the 4th quarter of these games he's downright hysterical.

[Big Blitz]

The Lions could have taken Jalen Carter with their first pick instead traded down for an RB they don’t need.  
 

[Chaos]

Lafluer couldn't get it done with Rodgers, its impossible to even image him winning championships with Love.  Packers need to move on from one or both of them after this season. 

Love is providing evidence that "seating and holding a clipboard" may not be the best way to develop a QB.

The Packers will win somewhere between 8 and 10 games this year because they have an easy schedule but this kid isn't it.   His pocket awareness, lateral movement, and physical stature screams backup QB.

I was somewhat shocked they didn't take Torrence in the 2nd. Really felt like he's a Dan Campbell type player. Thankful they didn't though.

This gem from a packers fan site made me chuckle:

"... Now we know how bears fans have felt like… forever."

Terrible narrative.  Josh was raw his rookie year.  He was also running around like a maniac, hurdling 6'4 linebackers, and showing off elite physical tools.

 

It was pretty obvious the Bills had something in Josh.   Jordan Love isn't any of rhat.

Yeah, Detroit fans getting a home playoff game would be really cool for them. I’m also happy for Goff. He might not be elite, but he’s better than he gets credit for. Goff was part of McVay’s early success with the Rams. He was treated as being completely disposable, but the Lions look in better shape than the Rams.
