Official Week 2 Green Bay vs Indianapolis Colts Thread

Obviously the goal of the Packers and Love is that he will be back on the field as soon as possible. Reality is that unless there is Divine Intervention, Love has no business being on the field against the Colts, and as a HC who seems so much ahead for the team with Love, I don't even consider him going out there, but like I said.... Divine Intervention. That would put him on the field.

With Love not going on IR, the Packers can put him on the questionable list on a weekly basis, until he actually does return to the field, and it's obviously a ploy intended to make the opposition respect the fact that he might play and therefore need to prepare for whomever the Packers play at QB.

I count Love as out. So, it's Willis. The next question is how healthy Jacobs is. He did get injured last week, and the question is, how much will it effect his game? The next note, which I'd push is that making INTs is nice, but you also have to get back to the way you played CB in the past Mr. Alexander. If you play shout down, and the defensive line realizes they need to be more aggressive so they, along with the LBs can stop the opposition from gashing the Packers on the ground.

To me, the difference between winning and losing against the Colts is going to boil down to just how much the Packers coaching staff can instill in this team to work through adversity. They need to find another gear, on both sides of the ball, to win it, and if they do? They could be sensing that they just might have the tools to be a serious contender. Especially if they can unleash the dogs of war every game, until Love is back under center, and the offense is running smoothly.

Then again, wouldn't it be something if Willis' game was so darned good that they destroy the Colts? I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be saying the loss in Brazil was a one off, and the team definitely has a run in them.
 
The Colts D will play downhill all day, whether they roll out or move Willis. At some point, to want to win this game, he'll have to complete some passes. Move him around all you want, let him one read and run, and see how that turns out for you. It'll be a long game. He's going to need to complete passes.
 
They have a chance to win, will they? Doubt it. It the chance is there. Even a bad QB can pull a game out of arse every once in a while.

The knock on Willis is inability to work through reads or make presnap reads (the knock on most young QBs that got by on athleticism in college and didn't play at top schools). The best way to play it is run, run, run, run and play action rollout. 2 reads max and then take off running if they are both covered. Preferably deep reads so you punish safeties sneaking up in run support.

Which is why he was the ideal guy to bring in as a back up. I don't understand getting him.

Now, you're probably right. Just do what he can do.

Personally, I was surprised the Penn State kid regressed so much. I thought he was going to be a good back up and maybe even challenge Love.

Clifford never really played last year so judge him. I thought when we drafted him he was a reach. Every site had him as a UDFA. GB just had him as the backup last year due to cap issues. He should have been a guy on the PS last year also developing.
 
I’ve said my piece. He has earned and deserves the opportunity to prove his toughness and ability. I do think ultimately they sit him this one week but I also don’t think it’s BS about him possibly playing.
