Jordan Love Is All the Way Back After the Packers Whomped the Cardinals 34-13

Evan Siegle, packers.com

            The Packers straight-up DOMINATED the Cardinals on Sunday. This is the squad we've been dying to see. Offense humming, defense snatching balls, and Jordan Love? He’s officially all the way back (not like he ever really left).

            Love was great. He looked cool and calm in the pocket tossing dimes all day long. After the injury scare, we needed a full game from him, and he gave us just that. He threw 22/32 for four touchdowns and a 119.5 passer rating. That’s back-to-back 4 TD games, something a Packers QB hasn’t done since Brett Favre in 1995.

            Shoutout to the offensive line, just an absolute unit out there. They held it down as the best pass-blocking line in the league, and the wild part? Not a single first-round pick, every guy was drafted by the Packers. Nobody develops big boys like the green and gold.

            The Packers' weapons had a day. Specifically, Romeo Doubs, who was the story of the week following his suspension after missing practice last week. Doubs got into the end zone twice on two insane Jordan Love throws. His second touchdown came on a moonshot throw as Love was falling backward. The way he tracked that ball was special. It was also great to see him celebrate with the boys after all the drama from last week. Felt like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders and you gotta feel happy for him. Christian Watson also found the end zone after returning from injury this week, and obviously, Jayden Reed got into the gold zone.

            As for the defense? Just a turnover factory, adding three fumble recoveries to their season total thanks to Kenny Clark, Karl Brooks, and Jaire Alexander. The defensive front deserves a lot of credit after the job they did containing Kyler Murray. He was kept in check on the ground, and they didn’t let him get going through the air. Kenny Clark had a great game after a quiet start to the year, and Karl Brooks continues to prove why he belongs on the field. It is also with great sadness that I must share that Xavier McKinney didn’t get an interception today. Horrible, right? He’s still the DPOY, though, don’t @ me.

            The only blemish on this masterpiece of a win? Brayden Narveson...my man, the misses gotta stop. Following another miss today, he leads the NFL in missed field goals so far this season. It’s insane how good all these other kickers are, and the Packers can’t find a guy who’s just average. We’ve seen this play out before and know how important a kicker is come playoff time. Feels like it’s time to bring in some competition for Narv-Dog.

            Overall, a hell of a win by the green and gold. The Packers have a big test next week against a Texans team that just dominated the Patriots on the road. They will be without their star wide-out Nico Collins but still have plenty of guys to spread the ball around to. With Jordan Love fully healthy, a strong offensive line, and a turnover-factory defense, the Packers are poised for a big win next Sunday. Hopefully.

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

  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?

The Green Bay Packers Top 5 NEEDS This Offseason

Image
There’s been a lot of talk about what the Packers need personnel wise going into next season. The big question is what do they need most? Some would argue a pass rusher or two considering the team that just won the Super Bowl didn’t blitz once. Others would say a true number one receiver to make the clutch plays when the Packers need them. There’s plenty of valid excuses for each position that needs to be improved upon going into next season. As for Real Packer Fans Know, here are the top five NEEDS the Packers have going into next season from least to most important.              5. Linebacker                    Before you say it, yes, Edgerrin Cooper is a DAWG. He is a star in the making and the best draft pick the Packers made from last season. Other than Cooper, the Packers could use another run stopper across the middle of the field. ...

It’s Packers vs. Bears Week, and It Doesn’t Feel the Same

Image
Evan Siegle, packers.com, Jacob Funk, chicagobears.com I think it’s been pretty clear the Bears week doesn’t feel the same this season. After all the offseason talk about Caleb Williams and the big free-agent pickups, the Bears still suck, and nothing’s changed. Honestly, it’s kind of hilarious. I don’t think I’ve heard more preseason trash talk from Bears fans before this year. They acted like they had it all figured out, but guess what? They don’t. The Bears have fallen off a cliff after starting 4-2, losing their last three games to the Commanders, Cardinals, and Patriots. Their offensive line is a disaster, Caleb Williams holds the ball too long, and Matt Eberflus is, without a doubt, the worst coach in the NFL. The decisions this team keeps making are mind-blowing. Keeping Eberflus around for another season? It’s still baffling. But, hey, I’m glad he’s still there for this game. Can’t ask for a better opponent coming off a bye. The Bears do not have a player on the active roster w...
