I might be giving Love too much leeway but he didn't seem like a bad qb, just a very inexperienced one.
OK I just got back from a weekend camping, has this been a weird week or something?
Falcons blew it but then UN-blew it, Dallas is utterly hapless until garbage time, Jax 9-6 over BUFFALO?!?!?!, KC only puts up 13 against a Rodgers-less GB? Who saw all THIS coming? Is it just me or is that an unusually high level of weirdness for a Sunday?

Urgh.
Much as I hate ODB the persona, he would definitely be an upgrade over our receivers.
Just have to hope that his contract demands are too pricey for NE tastes, I guess. Or that he signs for peanuts, in which case it's just good value, and at that point you just hope BB keeps his antics in line.
Either way, whoever signs Odell is not getting Odell Beckham Jr. one handed catch grabber and all round amazing WR. They'd get an injury prone and potentially no longer WR1 receiver who wants the ball too much.
Going to be an interesting few days, for sure.
Odell is gone, like xskarma said. At first I liked his "passion" but now it just comes off as being a dick, he dropped so many pass in Cleveland, and gets hurt a lot. I don't know what he expects.
Well all's okay that ended poorly for the Packers ultimately.
Love got better as the game went along, which is a win. Ultimately he didn't totally implode so the Packers hopefully won't feel the need to break more NFL rules to keep Rodgers happy. Though still, for a year and a half in the system he shouldn't have looked that bad to begin with and it sticks with the narrative from the offseason that he's been very inconsistent. Packers probably should still do their homework on Day 2/3 guys, if nothing else he'll need a backup next year.
Defense continues to lose key guys and continues to barely miss a step. Joe Barry should be in the conversation for Assistant Coach of the Year. Capers and Pettine would have had the 30th ranked Defense by now and be complaining about injury luck.
O-Line and Run Game continue to impress despite the injuries to the former, good sign for the future of the Team under Love.
But then there's the Special Teams.... which once again has regressed to a dumpster fire. Crosby makes those kicks and the game is tied and maybe we can win it in OT, he makes those and we don't fuck up Punt Returns and we win by 3. I fail to see how we don't clean house on the third side of the ball this offseason again. Even Crosby probably needs camp competition again next year after his yips.

Ugh the officiating today has been bad even by NFL standards.
/s
Damn what a day i didnt expect the rams and cowboys to be manhandled.
Im suprised that mahomes was so relieved after the game and giving the whole team praise. They played bad against NYG and barely beat the packers without rodgers so imo they got a looooooooong way to go.

My guess is the Bills are a decent team (minus the dumpster fire offensive line) that bought into their own hype. The problem is they are soft and get bullied way to often to be elite.
If they do not majorly address the offensive line next year, it will just be more of the same.

Well good news, there isn't really any clear elite teams in the AFC. NFC has the Cardinals and Bucs, who the knows what is going on with Dallas, and Green Bay isn't going to be the same. AFC has...a Titans team that lost to the Jets, and has lost their offensive focus? A Bills team that just had that happen? The...Browns, who are getting healthy now? And I guess whoever ends up on the top of the trash heap in the AFC West. Probably the Chargers.
