I can’t believe it happened. I was watching the electric finish in Philly.

Love was just terribly inaccurate. The 34 yard pass to Golden should've been a 92 yard TD if accurate. Love wasn't even accurate on dump offs to Jacobs out of the backfield. And then the awful decision not to throw it away and take the sack at the end of the quarter. And then the INT. Oof

Games like this are why I am hesitant to call GB a top tier contender, even with the addition of Parsons. I just don't trust Jordan Love.

He strikes me as a guy who can't win 3 playoff games.

Love throws too many off balance throws. I don’t know if he got that from watching Rodgers but he needs to set his feet before he throws. Offensive line was trash today but Love missed some throws where he had plenty of time.
Too many penalties and just sloppy play by the offense and special teams. Not sure how Bisaccia still has a job with special teams being bad for a while now.
Hopefully this lights a fire and these guys clean up their act. Not going to beat anybody with 14 penalties

Oh dear. If you picked this one in a survivor pool then you deserve to take your whipping. The Browns defense is just brutal. Anybody who watched that hit on Burrow by Garrett and didn't come away thinking you'd better buckle your chinstrap was sorely mistaken.

The sun shines on a dog’s butt sometimes, but that doesn’t make it a donut. If I were betting NFL games, I’d be broke.

It's early, but this feels like a much needed loss for the Packers. They already had players telling the press they think they may go undefeated. This was a good humbling experience. You can't just show up in the NFL. It needs to be a wake up call for LaFleur and the coaching staff as well. MLF has been calling it way too safe this year. He needs to open up the playbook when needed and then rely on the defense when the moment calls for it. The Browns are a pass funnel team but he was adamant about running the ball early, then when he should have ran it late in the game they passed and Love threw the boneheaded interception.

Can you really expect to win scoring 10 points?
This is my hesitation with Jordan Love and why risking those future draft picks could misfire if he doesn't prove to be a franchise QB, I still think the verdict is out at best
He's not an automatic reliability to put the team on his back
You cannot blame the Packers' Defense, they held the Browns down for 3 quarters
Packers did not look special this past weekend, we'll see if they have been exposed or if this was just a mild hiccup over the coming weeks.
Dallas, Bye, CIN, Arizona, Pittsburgh and CAR are not going to reveal much unless they look like this again at some point. I would expect them to win all 5 of those games
7-1/6-2 heading in to face Philly on MNF, that should be interesting

Arizona can beat them. I see 4-1 coming from that 5 game stretch........and I agree on Love. Not sold on him.

The D gave up 6 points. The td can be blamed on Love giving the Browns the ball inside the 10 yard line. LaFleur needs to manage Love. Stop pretending he's Aaron. He makes impulsive decisions in high pressure situations. LaFleur needs to coach around that until Love matures.

Yup, i beat the drum pretty hard that this team is special and they looked anything but. Love's turnover was terrible and his play was indecisive and off time. The depth i was hoping for to cover the inevitable o line injuries didn't look adequate (looking at you Morgan). Penalties and stupid mistakes were plentiful.
Can they beat any team any week of the season? No doubt. Is being the youngest team in the league going to result in what we saw in the fourth quarter yesterday? Also yes.
The defense is pretty good, they held the Browns to 3 really. Offense and special teams mistakes lead to the rest, or put them in very unfavorable positions.
I don't want to take anything away from the Browns, that D is filthy, but the Packers beat themselves and the great teams don't do that in the way i saw yesterday. There's work to be done and hopefully it was just a one off they'll learn from and come out better.
6-2 seems reasonable heading into the Philly game. November football is different so we'll see if they can mature and clean up the penalties and mistakes by then. After Philly there's the giants and then all division games and the broncos/ravens. It's not getting easier after that.
Eta. I still think that trade, 2 firsts or not was a homerun. We've seen great Ds cover for lesser QBs than Love imo.

Curious where you see Arizona beating them. I don't really know much about that team, but am interested as to what to look for comparing strengths and weaknesses.

First off it is a road trip to Arizona.....and the Cardinals have some real weapons on offense including a highly mobile QB that can absolutely counter the Packers pass rush. It is a classic trap game to me vs a west coast team.
The Cardinals look like a competitive team thus far and can absolutely upset a team like the Packers at home.
