Was listening to a podcast that quoted a statistic of "contested catch percentage". Not sure how valid it is, but they had the Packers dead last. If they were at league average, Love's completion percentage would be around 65%.

One thing I noticed not sure if it's on Love or the WR or both. It seems our WR will often stop in their route waiting for the ball to come to them. This allows the DB to close and defend the pass. Not sure if Love is throwing late or if the WR is not running the route correct that Love is not hitting the WR in stride as what should be happening.

I think this is Love throwing late. Since the Raiders debacle he has been hesitant throwing some of these intermediate/deep timing shots. It's a confidence thing. Look at the throw he made to Aaron Jones in the Eagles game last year, he has it in him to read a defense quickly and make an accurate throw, right now he's just not pulling the trigger. His own experience getting bit, poor OL play, WR mistakes I think all play a role but he's not feeling it right now.

Gutey agrees Myers is playing best of his career …. It’s all good now…
You know the sad part about this statement is it is probably true since Meyers has played so bad the first two years. And he is still playing bad but maybe better than last year. Which is not saying much.

Almost like Watson thought the play was not going to go to him and then all of a sudden he was like oh it maybe will and kicks back into gear.

When you run a route, you need to be sharp, even if it's a decoy route, because the QB just might throw the ball in your direction, if you're open, and he sees it. WRs who don't run crisp routes need to be sent packing if it continues.

I swear we have some really stupid fans. Saying oh we got to little for Douglas and should have kept him because the Packers can't make picks. While Gute struggles with his picks yeah it makes a lot of sense to keep a CB who would not be in GB past next season and is not going to help this team get back to a contender before then. I think that some people don't understand what a rebuild is and that you need to get as many picks as possible to try to hit on as many as you can.

This looks like a bit of both, like you mentioned, RP.
Watson jogging and slowing down and Love throwing late and also not throwing it on a line in that situation. The opening is between the CB and the Safety and when he throws more of touch pass, he is allowing the Safety to have time to make a play on Watson.
This is probably what is happening on a lot of pass plays. Both on the WR and on Love at times.
