Justin Jefferson has been shut out in the first half twice in his career.
The first time was by Jaire Alexander.
The second time was by Jaire Alexander.
The
#Packers
"got lucky" that Brett Favre "ended up good."
Then they "got lucky" that Aaron Rodgers "fell in their laps."
Now they're "lucky" that Jordan Love is playing good.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
This is a franchise that has prioritized QB appropriately.
Ever since they…
The
#Packers
took a wide receiver in the 2nd round, rode him through his prime, got the most out of his best years, then, just before he turned 30, traded him for a 1st and 2nd round pick while clearing $20M off the cap.
Devin White just ran a 4.37 in a race against some wide receivers and there are still people who think a 37 year-old Aaron Rodgers would have outrun him for the end zone.
I think the MVS no-call might have been a make up for the baloney personal foul against Mahomes.
But that Kelce contact on the hail mary wasn't even close to warranting a call, I don't care how much Collinsworth cries.
Aaron Rodgers will be the best QB on the field
Aaron Jones will be the best RB on the field
Davante Adams will be the best WR on the field
David Bakhtiari will be the best OL on the field
Za'Darius Smith will be the best defender
.
Don't tell me the
#Packers
have no chance.
Jordan Love now has 30 touchdown passes this season.
It's his first year as the
#Packers
starter.
The Bears have never had a QB do this in 104 years of existence.
Packer fans: Fire Capers!
Green Bay Packers: Ok
PF: Now fire Ted!
GBP: Sure
PF: And fire McCathy!
GBP: Done. Anything else?
PF: Sign a bunch of free agents!
GBP: Sure thing
PF: And move up in the draft!
GBP: Okey dokey
PF: And win!
GBP: We're 11-3
PF: Win by more!
Don't let Jaire Alexander dominating Justin Jefferson distract you from the
#Packers
offensive line dominating Za'Darius Smith no matter where he lines up.
The NFL really made the
#Packers
- Saints announcers sit up in the booth and say things like "no contact there" and "great coverage without touching him" on all these plays:
Jordan Love not the MVP?
Matt LaFleur not Coach of the Year?
And Brian Gutekunst isn't even smart?
AND the
#Packers
have ZERO Pro Bowl players?
They must just be the luckiest playoff team ever, I guess?
No recognition for anyone.
The
#Packers
made Aaron Rodgers the highest paid player in NFL history, Bakhtiari the highest paid OL in NFL history, Clark the highest-paid NT in NFL history, and now Jaire the highest paid DB in NFL history.
And some people call them "cheap."
If Aaron Rodgers got half the credit for winning against good teams without his top receivers as Tom Brady gets defended for losing against bad teams without his, Rodgers would be the 1st player ever inducted into the Hall of Fame while he's still playing.
Dear Bears Fans,
I don't want to rub anything in.
But please: use this as an example of why you shouldn't obnoxiously run your mouth with silly guarantees about something when you have no idea what will happen or any control over the outcome.
Thank you,

Fans
Jordan Love has played 14 minutes and 47 seconds of football for the
#Packers
this year - less than 1 quarter.
He's thrown for 186 yards.
The Bears have thrown for 186 in a full game only 1 time this year (193 vs Vikings).
2022
#Packers
cap hits
Quay Walker $2.8M
Devonte Wyatt $2.6M
Christian Watson $1.7M
Sean Rhyan $0.9M
Rasul Douglas $3.3M
De'Vondre Campbell $4.2M
Sammy Watkins $1.8M
TOTAL $17.3M
Davante Adams makes $28M per year.
There's layers to this impact.
The
#Packers
have a plan
2005: Draft new QB, wait 3 yrs
2008: Trade old QB to Jets, start the new one
2009: Make two 1st rnd picks
2010: Win Super Bowl
2020: Draft new QB, wait 3 yrs
2023: Trade old QB to Jets, start the new one
2024: Make two 1st rnd picks
2025: Win Super Bowl
Matt LaFleur didn't get credit when the
#Packers
had Aaron Rodgers because they were "carried by an MVP QB."
Now he's not getting credit because "it turns out Jordan Love was good."
He developed Love over 4 years and rejuvenated Rodgers.
Give the guy some credit!
The
#Packers
get to put Za'Darius Smith next to Kenny Clark, with Rashan Gary edge rushing from his wing.
That leaves Dean Lowry and Preston Smith (who are both having career years) in single blocking.
With De'Vondre Campbell behind them
And Jaire, Douglas, and Stokes covering
Dear
@ESPN
,
This is not the red zone channel.
I don't care about Titans-Dolphins.
I just want to watch the
#Packers
game.
Please stop the split screen.
Thank you.
PS: I don't think Giants fans care about Dolphins-Titans, either.
Cris Collinsworth saying that Jordan Love is a better deep ball thrower than Aaron Rodgers may be the stupidest thing he's ever said about the
#Packers
.
The
#Packers
backs and receivers all making heart signs after Jordan Love threw the game-winning touchdown...
This tells me everything I need to know about this team's locker room chemistry and how they feel about their new quarterback.
This team has unlimited potential.
Jordan Love started really shaky.
But in crunch time, he was money.
He threw 3 balls that all could have been go-ahead touchdowns despite missing his top weapons.
Clutch.
The
#Packers
found their quarterback.
And that's what this season is really about.
NEWS: SNOW is falling in Green Bay today and there is some snow on the ground already and they expect more.
The
#Chiefs
and
#Packers
face off tonight 👀
Rasul Douglas made $990k last year.
He said he just wanted a little more to come back to the
#Packers
.
He now makes $7M per year.
We have different definitions of "a little more."
Matt LaFleur won more games than any head coach ever in 3 years.
He re-ignited a declining Aaron Rodgers. He won the division every year. He went to 2 NFCCs and a divisional playoff.
Now he lost back to back games for the first time and
#Packers
fans think he's garbage?
Please
"Athletes should tell us more about their personal lives!"
Aaron Rodgers *openly shares details about his personal life*
"Let's mock and hate Aaron Rodgers for choices in his personal life that are legal and don't hurt anybody!"
I have a lot more faith in Matt LaFleur to run a team without Aaron Rodgers than I did in Mike McCarthy.
Whatever happens, the team is more important than the player and I'm a
#Packers
fan for life.
#Packers
practices are starting to feel like professional wrestling, where dudes just shock the crowd by coming out from backstage when no one is expecting it.
Chiefs fans are learning what Packers fans have known for a long time: having a great quarterback doesn't guarantee a bunch of titles
Football is a team sport and titles take more than one guy.
The
#Packers
already beat the Cowboys, Vikings, and Bucs.
They blew a big lead against the Giants and were surprisingly close to the Eagles.
If the
#Packers
make the playoffs, they can run with anyone in this field.
I have not seen one single instance of Jordan Love ever complaining about anything.
The
#Packers
drafted a high-character pro that is earning the respect of his teammates.
The Bears have been swept by the
#Packers
3 years in a row and have 1 win against them since 2015.
But remember that one time when they hit a defenseless receiver?
The
#Packers
went 13-4 last year, the best record in the NFL. They lost Davante Adams, but have two 1st round picks.
The Bears went 6-11 last year, missing the playoffs. They lost Khalil Mack, and have no 1st round picks.
Jaire Alexander and David Bakhtiari have done nothing but bust their asses playing their hardest for the
#Packers
.
They sustained serious long-term injuries that will probably hurt and limit them for the rest of their lives
I don't understand why anyone would hate them for that
Jaire Alexander
Eric Stokes
Rasul Douglas
Kevin King
Adrian Amos
Darnell Savage
This is the mother of all dime packages
If you rush Za'Darius, Gary, Preston, and Clark with De'Vondre in the middle, teams are gonna have have damn hard time trying to play the
#Packers
from behind
The
#Packers
paid a premium to keep David Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones this year.
They wanted their young QB to have a dependable vet at LT and a top RB to lean on.
They both missed most of the season.
And Love shined anyways.
He's a good one.
No one was talking about Stafford going to the Hall of Fame in Detroit.
Then he went to a super team, led the league in picks, threw a couple picks in the Super Bowl, and won in large part because his defense hit the sack record.
Now he's a Hall of Famer?
I don't get it.
#Packers
special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia said in his press conference that he's losing patience with Amari Rodgers and will bench him if he fumbles 17 more times.

There's probably not a Pro Bowler there, but the
#Packers
have got significant contributions from 8 rookies this year.
That's unheard of.
Here’s
#Packers
running back
@AJDillon7
leading the chants for the
@AshwaubenonJags
student section before their boy’s basketball playoff game.
Just a casual Thursday night in Green Bay during the offseason.
Jonathan Owens sparked the
#Packers
victory with a huge fumble returned for a touchdown.
Can someone - anyone - give the guy some credit without mentioning his wife?
Jayden Reed taking out the Saints Gatorade table late in the 4th quarter when the New Orleans defense was sucking wind was an underrated factor in the
#Packers
come from behind win.
Savvy veteran move by the rookie.
Jaire is hurt.
Stokes is back on IR.
And the
#Packers
trade Rasul?
Clearly, this isn't a short-term move.
We are in a rebuild, so set your expectations appropriately.
I really feel bad for Davante Adams.
Dude was always a class act.
He wanted to give up some money to go play with his friend. Win or lose, he got to play with his friend, which I think is awesome.
Now his friend is benched.
I just feel bad for him.
