Rust, Picks, & Mistakes: Packers vs Vikings Recap

Image
Evan Siegle, packers.com Wanna know what salt in the wound feels like? Leaving Lambeau after a loss and then sitting in traffic for an hour and a half. That's exactly what I dealt with after the Packers' 29-31 loss to the Vikings. Lambeau's is one of if not my favorite places in the world, but man, way too much purple in the stands. Gold Package ticket holders are killing us, I don’t know what change they are going to make as an organization, but they need to stop this from happening continuously. Thanks again Milwaukee, Gold Package fans sold out again. #MINvsGB pic.twitter.com/pSLXLFwaJd — Frenchy (@stooliefrenchy2) September 29, 2024 Now, let’s get to Jordan Love. He came back from injury and looked rusty as hell. He had two picks early, and it looked like he wasn't comfortable pushing off his injured leg. He even showed up in a Brett Favre jersey and lived up to it with three interceptions. Not ideal. But Love rallied. 32/54, 389 yards, 4 TDs, and 3 INTs is th...

Victory Monday: Takeaways from the Packers' Beatdown of the Titans

Image
  There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a Victory Monday. Even though it’s Monday, the day feels a little lighter, a little brighter, because the Packers just beat the hell out of the Titans. Everyone’s buzzing—Packers fans are hyped, the defense looks unstoppable, and Malik Willis is proof that coaching matters more than ever in the NFL. The Packers were solid on all fronts, as they should’ve been. That’s what good teams do: beat the brakes off the bad ones. The Titans were overmatched, and Green Bay made sure it showed. But the real story here is the defense. Talk about a 180 from last season. Here’s a simple stat that says it all: the Packers have already matched their total interceptions from last season (7) in just three games. Oh, and their total takeaways through three games? Nine. That’s the same number they had through 11 games last year. Absurd doesn’t even begin to describe it. The 2024 Packers have nine takeaways and seven interceptions in three games. The 2023 ...

Packers Dominate Titans in Complete Team Performance

Image
What a performance from the boys in green and gold. The Green Bay Packers looked sharp on all fronts in their 30-14 win over the Tennessee Titans. It was the kind of game that gets you excited for the rest of the season. Malik Willis was lights out, building off his solid play last week and taking it up a notch. He used his legs to escape the pocket and even found the end zone on the Packers' opening drive. The Titans responded with a touchdown of their own—a Will Levis pass to Nick Vannett—but the Packers stayed locked in, marching down the field again and tacking on a field goal.

Malik Willis Revenge Game? One Last Look Before the Weekend: Packers vs. Titans

Image
                With just a few days left before the Packers take on the Titans, there’s one big question on everyone's mind: Is Jordan Love suiting up on Sunday? Nobody knows for sure. Love practiced Wednesday through Friday, but he was limited in reps. Head coach Matt LaFleur made it clear in Thursday’s press conference that Love will be a game-time decision, with his status likely uncertain until 90 minutes before kickoff. Of course, we all want to see Love back in action, but let’s be real—he needs time to get back to 100% (or at least close) before the schedule starts heating up. Jordan Love appears to be practicing for the third straight day. We’re only allowed to watch indoor warmups on Fridays and not outdoor individual drills, but Love did everything inside and went outside with the team before we left. Packers fly to Nashville tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/rkvXEam8it — Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) September 20, 2024 #Packers QB Jo...

Packers Ground and Pound Their Way to Win Over Colts in Home Opener

Image
Well, Packers fans, we got the job done. In the home opener against the Colts, with Malik Willis under center, the Packers pulled out an ugly but satisfying win. There was plenty of skepticism surrounding Willis and whether he could handle the pressure, but he did just enough to get the W. Credit to the Packers' rushing attack for taking the heat off Willis, allowing him to stay within his comfort zone all game long. Let’s not forget about the offensive line. They were absolute monsters all game. The O-line gave Willis plenty of protection and opened up huge lanes for the running backs, allowing the ground game to run wild. Special shoutout to Josh Myers, who embodied the true meaning of “puke and rally.” Yes, you read that right. The dude literally threw up on the field, gathered himself, and kept playing like a beast. That’s the kind of gritty performance that defines Packers football. Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers with the "puke and rally" 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.co...

Packers Fall to Eagles in Season Opener as Jordan Love Suffers Grade 1/2 MCL Sprain

Image
  Well, folks, we knew the season opener was gonna be wild, but no one expected to see a game that felt more like a hockey match on a Brazilian slip ‘n slide. The Green Bay Packers couldn’t fend off the Philadelphia Eagles and to add insult to injury—literally—Jordan Love went down with an MCL sprain at the very end of the game. Absolute gut punch. The field conditions have been a problem in Brazil, with Packers and Eagles players slipping all over the place. Here are consecutive plays on a Packers drive where their players slipped. 🏈😵‍💫🇧🇷 #NFL pic.twitter.com/qVhfOsdP44 — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 7, 2024 Packers and Eagles players trying to run on the field in Brazil pic.twitter.com/bbtEeesD94 — Shooter McGavin (@ShooterMcGavin_) September 7, 2024 Love’s injury?
