Watson is essential for that. It will open Musgrave more in the middle of the field. I know the coaching staff is coaching Love to put more air under his deep ball, but he is under throwing most of those passes. I would just tell him to "let it rip" on those deep throws with less air under them. To me, the whole key to the 1 minute drill with no TO's and down by less than 3 points is go get a completion right away to get into the rhythm right off the bat. You only need to go 40 yards and you are in FG position. So get a completion right away and let the receiver run some. The Falcons played way off the WR's in the 1 minute drill. Throw it short and let them run for 10 yards and just get a first down. There is plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLGURU Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'm looking for continued growth from Love He had an opportunity to drive for a game winning FG and sh*t the bed. Those are drives you have to have, and he wasn't even close on some of those throws. Decent overall game, but major fail on the ending.

Musgrave and Reed will be open for plenty of easy completions with Watson out there. And I was also surprised they didn’t start with something simpler in the 1 minute. There was plenty of time.

Also did his share of sh*tting the bed in the playoffs both years. Love's doing pretty good starting out, but he's still got some ways to go, stat equations be d*mned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a significant mental blunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a reliable checkdown option and is probably the best back for screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I think that type of route was also how Rodgers threw pick sixes vs. the Bucs and Patriots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) 24/36 TOP in favor of ATL. We had some quality drives and stops before the 4th quarter. 3 and outs and a nasty ATL ground game. put too much weight on the tired defense for the final 15.

Because if he's paid based off this being factored in, he's not going to have that WR combo, that #1 RB, that top LT. Don't make excuses for him. Don't turn Love into the next infallible QB. Love is what he is. No ifs ands or butts. He either wins, or he loses. He's either good or he's bad. I don't want to hear this crap for another 10 years.LO Tom Brady didn't bemoan losing anybody. He went out and cheated his way to 7 Super Bowl wins. Love does not look amazing yet. Very serious long term concerns. His YAP and completion percentage are both well below what they should be. Until he signs his next contract, he sucks. LOL .. go kick your cat. Not sure how you will make it through this season .. check your blood pressure often. Your expectations are over the top .. those weren't excuses, they were facts. Losing your best 2 offensive players and your top 2 linemen is a tough road to haul for any qb. Want to be pissed at somebody .. Joe Barry is your guy with a dash of MLF included. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Don't have all the numbers but it seems Love has been lights out in the 3rd quarter. Just okay otherwise. He has had 3 of his TD passes in the 3rd quarter, and the offense has scored 4 TD's in the 3rd quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
