[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1076467, member: 17987"] Okay lemme come back to give a studs/duds for last night. [U][B]Studs:[/B][/U] [B]Jordan Love[/B] - and in particular second-half Love. Good in the first half, elite in the second. Probably his best regular-season game he's played, and in the conversation with Dallas playoffs for his best ever. This was also the first game of his career (as a starter) where he was credited with ZERO "bad throws." I think many have already made up their minds and it won't change much but IMO he is punching (big) holes in the narrative that he's a careless, sloppy, and/or inaccurate passer. Don't look now, but Love this season has quietly moved into [B]4th for total completion percentage and 5th for CPOE[/B] (completion percentage over expectation). He is top 10 in total yards, TD percentage, and pass success rate; he is top 5 in QBR and passer rating, Y/A, AY/A, NY/A, and ANY/A... and is now [B]FIRST in QB EPA/play. [/B] Yesterday he was (by my quick math) 13/18 for 146 yards and 1TD (114.58 rating) in the first half and 16/19 for 214 yards, 2TD and a 2pt conversion (148.68) in the second half. I don't think there should be any doubt at this point that he absolutely can be "the guy." [B]Tucker Kraft [/B]- Is he the best tight end in the league right now? There's not any TE who I'd trade him for at this point in time. He's going to be getting a big payday and well-deserved. Soon to be a priority signing for us. [B]2nd Half Defense [/B]- they really made adjustments and locked it down very well. Rodgers was never allowed to get comfortable and put behind a mediocre first half for a suffocating second half performance. Really pleased with how we adjusted there. [U][B]Duds:[/B][/U] [B]Special Teams [/B]- ST continues to be a liability for us. I think our "ceiling" as things currently stand is average at best. Punt returns in particular are a total liability. I said it in the game thread, half joking, but at this point I'd just put 11 guys on the line and sell out for a punt block lol.
