The rest would be great, too. He really does. I take back me questioning his contract. Man has earned every dime of that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think you were that wrong. He is ridiculously expensive. But he is also really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 2 hours ago, Old Guy said: St. Brown plays a ton of his snaps in the slot. Not sure we put Jaire in the slot all day on him. Regardless, he's a very important defender we need back. They won't put Jaire in the slot at least not very often. The Detroit O line would have a field day throwing him around in the running game. He isn't built for that. Could he handle the cover responsibilities? Absolutely, but he'd be a massive target in the running game. I doubt you'll see him there often.

OzPackfan Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I'll be very surprised if JA, Watson and Jones don't play vs the Lions. Have no doubt that the coaching staff didn't want to risk them today as backing up 4 days later would have been hard to do so they let them sit so that they were available vs a divisional opponent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see a MUCH more efficient game out of Love. He’s gotta be more consistent and not rely on being clutch in big moments. Being clutch is great, but if you force yourself into having to be clutch too often, you can’t keep up. I’d also like to see one of those things where a defender catches a pass meant for an offender. Man o man, you sure expect a lot from a qb in his 3rd frickin game without his best 2 lineman, #1 wr and rb .. unreal expectations!

AlexGreen#20 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 This Lions team is good. Well coached. It lacks some top end talent that will stop it from being superbowl contenders, but it can embarass you if you play stupid or poorly. Need to do neither. If we can get our dawgs back, I'll feel a lot better about being on even footing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 GB fans should be happy DET had to settle for Gibbs after ATL jumped on Bijan. Facing Bijan twice a year vs DET would have been not good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be looking at something wrong, but I see the Jones cap hit at 8.1M. That is ridiculously cheap for what he brings to the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERY TEAM IN THE NFL IS STRUGGLING. There is no perfect scenario for any QB. Love is what he is. Stop giving handicaps. He's got a lot of positive, a lot of negative. He's got to improve. He is always going to be missing something. His entire career. That's the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is always going to be missing something. His entire career. That's the job. We're 2-1 with a first year starting quarterback and a chance to take control of division on Thursday Night. Every one of us would have taken this start at the begging of the year. I'm not ready to attribute a lot of Love's perceived 'flaws,' until he gets his horses all on the field and his receivers have enough experience to run the right routes and know what the right adjustments are. He may never have Rodgers' accuracy, guess what, nobody does, but the kid has the IT factor. You can see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what he does have right now that most teams aren't dealing with, and most teams won't deal with, that is the real hindrance. The youth of this team and the amount of rookies starting is a big negative right now. Starting behind the chains an awful lot. Like 4 series a game ruined by multiple penalties and miscues. Hard to get into a rhythm with all that mess. But I hear you, definitely things Love needs to work on to get into that next tier, and then the big tier after that.
