Killed? They can make it a 3 point game to start the second half. 

No im not saying they are getting killed. Im saying the decision to defer the kickoff backfired on them

We don't know that yet until we see what GB does with the ball out of the half.

If your QB is a great one and your OL gives him time, he can make any WR productive. When I say that RBs should be paid more, never mind the fact they touch the ball 2-3x as much as your #1 receiver, but is Saquon Barkley’s value to an offense at $13M/yr that much less than Justin Jefferson’s value at $35M/yr? We already have that answer as Barkley is currently 2nd among MVP odds. He deserves to be paid more given what he brings to an offense. 

The market will speak on that if you're right.

Shouldn't have blitzed there GB.  You knew they were most likely passing, better to sit back slightly there.

Every time I watch the Lions this year, they run out to a big led and then play scared in the second half and the game is close. Also, the Packers have been a second-half team all year. 

Should we nickname them the Cowardly Lions.

The best case scenario is they get a TD and it's "even".

So they objectively didn't benefit from the decision

I keep coming back to this game, where they went up 21-10 at the half and needed a last-second FG to win.

Have you only watched them on Thanksgiving? They tend to keep their starters in late into the 4th quarter and are still dropping back to pass with Goff on deep overs even when up by 20. I’ve had the exact opposite experience as you: I wonder why they’re trying to impress the selection committee instead of protecting their starters.

That's against bad teams. Look at the game against the Vikings that I posted just above. They couldn't put them away.

The Watson fumble was the thing that derailed their momentum.

Matt Lafleur looks more like a hairdresser than a football coach. There I said it

I understand there are other factors in the game as that's not my point. They decided to defer, Detroit got a TD. And Detroit ended the half with a TD. The decision to defer did not work for them this time around objectively 

 

I am really not too sure what you're debating here

2nd half Love where he just chucks deep balls that are always caught

I understood your irrational hatred of Tom Brady, but what did Jordan Love ever do to you?

[stuvian]

Love is targeting Watson every play 

[zow2]

Couple of real nice throws by Love

It's 17-14. Probably could have been worse if GB got the ball first and went 3 and out. That could be Detroit going up 24-7 on the first drive of the 2nd half.

You're arguing hypotheticals when I'm just saying the facts in the first half. Respectfully I'm Not too sure what you're disputing but all good. Enjoy the game sir

McNeil would be a huge loss if he doesn't clear protocol next week

It's more the Packers in general.

 

They are the aww shucks version of the Cowboys. Everything they do it's "Love is MVP!" But unlike Dallas you're supposed to love them because they play in the middle of nowhere and Lombardi coached there and it's cold and frozen. 

 

Lefleur is a mediocrity who wasted Rodgers career. People get on McDermott for not winning it all with Allen. Lefleur's teams laid an egg every year in the playoffs.

 

They had 2 HOF QBs back to back and mismanaged both at the end instead of trying to win. 

 

They had HOF QB play for almost 40 years and won 2 rings. That's pathetic. 

 

Plus Lefleur is an arrogant punk. 

 

That's about it
