If you do trust your defense, I think you'd be more inclined to make the attempt since a miss would only be 13 yards worse than a touchback.

Eh? I'm not following. It would have been a 56 yard attempt, which puts the ball at the 46 for the kick. ATL would take over at the 46 on a miss. Correct?

The kick was from the 38.5-ish yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 BTW - I 100% think GB should have attempted the kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHARMON9 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Jordan Love 29/52 396 Yards 6 TDs 0 INTS 118.7 Passer rating. Yet I don't feel likes he's been as impressive as his numbers suggest. I feel MLF has schemed up a pretty damn good offensive game plan. Fell like we've left alot of yards and a couple TDs on the field. Am I alone in this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAH1223 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Not going to be confident in the defense until an upgrade at DC is in place. LaFleur dropped the ball the last two years. Much better candidates out there. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as many opportunities for big plays without Watson, and he didn’t have a running game today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 He wasn't that great in the 1st half of week 1 but I thought he looked better in the 2nd half, though admittedly a lot of it was some well designed plays and Aaron Jones boosting him with a ton of YAC. I thought he legitimately looked good for a large chunk of today's game, though. Much better than Week 1, and doing it very shorthanded missing 3 of their 5 best players on offense. OBviously did nothing in the 4th, but that goes for the entire team as a whole Main thing is he continues to look very comfortable in the offense, and is making good reads and smart decisions with the ball. Shoddy accuracy continues to be an issue, but that's about all so far. Just wanna see him get better and better as the season goes on while developing chemistry with all the young receivers on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen more or less what I was hoping to see from Love at this stage of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our running output will have to double with the lack of yards coming from the air. But yeah Watson will open up alot for us. Packers should also take notes on using Aaron Jones how the Falcons used Bijan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show some trust in the young kicker and show trust in the defense if he misses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show some trust in the young kicker and show trust in the defense if he misses. Carlson hit a 52 yard FG outdoors in week one with plenty of distance to spare. MLF punting from the 38 indoors showed a semi-alarming lack of stones. A Vikings fan might call it a lack of grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
