[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 965740, member: 13032"] There was a nice play made by Love last night that first looked like a bad throw. Even JSOnline reported it that way. It was late in Q1 and the Packers were 2nd or 3rd and goal from the 6. Love rolled to his left and Deguarra was wide open around the 5 and very likely would have scored. But a Saints' ILB or maybe an OLB read the play and was right between Love and DeGuarra. Love threw wide of the defender and DeGuarra for an incompletion, but DeGuarra ran the right route. If Love had thrown the ball straight to DeGuarra as the play was designed it likely would have been tipped or intercepted. And an interception probably would have been a pic 6. So Love threw wide on purpose IMO rather than risk the INT. At least that's how I saw it. He might have been able to loft it over the defender, but then he would have overthrown DeGuarra. Anyway it ended up saving a FG for the Packers and a TO. It was a good example of presence by Love. Yeah, just one play, but that's how games are won or lost. He played better than his stat line last night. At this point I feel good about him as a backup. If he keeps progressing and keeps a cool head, he just might have a chance to start in another year. Will that be in Green Bay? Who knows. And I disagree with the commenters who are saying Love should be playing much better. After all, Gluten gave up a fourth rounder to trade up and get him in the first round. After 2 plus years he should be better. Well he might be better - but we aren't necessarily going to see that in PS games. Who knows what combination of starters and subs are on the field at any point? I'd rely more on what he does in practice, especially against an improved GB D. And I still have doubts about Love. But he is playing better and that's important to note. [/QUOTE]
