I think Love's best throw this season was his incompletion in the corner of the endzone yesterday that the DB made a fantastic play on. That ball was a beauty. So yeah stats can be goofy. Wicks needs to work on his "late hands". When you stick your hands out too early the DB knows the ball is incoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakh is fine, he'll be out there Sunday. This was a planned maintenance game but Matt LaFleur can't say that because our fan base doesn't get it.

As a matter of fact, he never got his left hand up, because the cb was holding onto his arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A unit with this much talent shouldn't be as lousy as it is. Help me out here, forum… …this situation with Barry kind of reminds me of Sherman and Ted. (I think I have this right) Ted lets Sherman keep his job with a suspicion he won’t do well. Then, with fresh talent from HIS draft he hires McCarthy following a 4-12 season. Organizationally, could Murphy and Gute be cold-blooded enough to keep Barry as a meat puppet* to accrue better draft standing and then fire him for a fresh DC in 2024? It plays in my head, but it seems way too cynical and conspiratorial to be fact. *I don’t think meat puppet is the right word. Lame duck, zombie coach, scapegoat…? Barry’s job is to be himself, suck and get fired, whatever you call that. Edited September 18, 2023 by Uffdaswede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said this in the other thread but I believe the FO looked at this as a throw away season and next year our vacant DC position will be much more attractive to potential candidates. With our draft capital, ascending young players and cap space, we should be considered a top contender next year. Hopefully it lands us Leonard or Saleh if he gets canned.

But it’s kind of an ugly thing to say out loud behind closed doors. One poster mentioned that we shouldn’t look for ANY free agent help this year, and that also plays with the theme of mediocrity now, excellence next year.

minnypackerfan Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Watched the game again....Alexander....Woof! Not only was he subpar on coverage, he really did not want any part of tackling in the running game. No wonder the Falcons were running off tackle and around end.

Woof. I was in the Atlanta airport at 3 am a few years back and came across a lady who was lost and spoke no English. I looked at her ticket and she was like five concourses away from her gate. In my bad Spanish I had to use the word “train” to indicate how she needed to use that shuttle tram to get where she needed to be. Knowing that you can’t take a train to Puerto Rico she left me in the hopes of finding a more sane person. That airport is insanely large.
