Rich is the only analyst that actually grasps how good the packers actually might be
Pat and AJ Hawk be to differ. They never came out against the packers but did against Gutez and I don’t blame them even without the relationship with Aaron. Gutez been rebuilding since he drafted Love. If Aaron doesn’t win those MVPs Love would have started the following year and Love would have been stuck with a roster of nobodies because Tae would have sat out until traded as well. Gutez punted 4 years of Aaron’s career to rebuild. But McAfee and Hawk were all in on Love but same with literally every person and analyst the weapons were unproven.
I’ll say this Green Bay is good at rebuilding teams at the beginning and end of careers for Favre and Aaron. Both got their rings early on. Love looking to follow. Hopefully this time they can maintain building teams through out Love’s career. Was too young to really grasp team building with Favre, but with Aaron that team he took over was a year or two away. Love this team same thing a year or two away. But can always come early. I was expecting playoffs and depending on matchups like last week I thought GB would win. Not the way they did. I was there and after that first TD the energy disappeared from the fans and team. Next week I think it’s close it’ll come down to if the Packers D can stand up much like Aaron’s young and entire career besides Super Bowl year it won’t come down to Love. I think he’ll dominate unless they are in a hole because of defense. If they get past next week. In my mind they are Super Bowl bound.
NFC championship I feel will be GB vs Detroit
Many of us fans felt the same way when Love was drafted. It became clear over the past couple years why Gutey wanted to move on from Rodgers. Yesterday just ended the discussion on whether or not it was the right move.
Because he wasn’t vaccinated?
@BigFish689 no because he was aging and qbs canr play forever example rodgers first drive as a jet
I think they wanted Love to learn from Rodgers, too. Rodgers was pissed at the front office over drafting Love, but I give him credit for helping Jordan. Rodgers could've acted like Favre and said it wasn't his job to help his replacement. But he didn't. He kept his beef with Murphy and Gute. And constantly said Jordan was great, would be fine, and that he loved that kid. Plus, they brought back Tom Clements, who coached Favre, Rodgers, and Love. Basically set Love up to develop and take over after Rodgers. This is a better approach than throwing a rookie qb out there to sink or swim.
@@katdelrio5316gotta give him credit too, he always mentioned Jordon after the trade explaining how he just wanted to mentor the kid and prepare him for whatever happens. Aaron taught Jordon well as a leader and player
One playoff game, big call. He does look savage tbf. But they sacrificed the last three years of an MVP qb for this. Patriots took Sony Michel over Lamar, won a Super Bowl as a result. Now they’re screwed but have a superbowl. Gotta ask the question is your team in it to win the Super Bowl or be relevant. Packers seem to need relevancy with how their business model is..
Shout out for recognizing Gutenkunst ability as a GM. With Rodgers gone now, this all comes back to his Pick of LeFluers and all the young dudes
We can give Gute props for Love but he still skipped over TJ Watt and I'll never forgive him for that.
@@Chunga5836how many chips TJ watt got
All the young dudes, carry the news!
@@Chunga5836 If T.J. Watt didn't go to Wisconsin, you wouldn't have known he existed at the draft.
And now Matt can truly mold this team and not around an individual player
Finally, someone giving the packers some credit
If Green Bay can start fast, run game clicks and the defense bend, but don't break, I LOVE our chances Saturday night.
Just know niners are an actual top 3 defense not facing scrubs like Washington, Giants, and panthers. Gonna be a good game tho
@@bossman6553you just scanning over Detroit, Kansas City, and Dallas?
@@Robert_31 do they have the type of defense the niners have?
@@bossman6553I agree. Im a GB fan the cowboys D had one of the easiest schedule this year
Packers run defense ranks 28th. Good luck with that against the Niners rushing offense.
As a lifetime Packers fan, THANK YOU Rich!! There is plenty of headlines and stories about this game, an absurd amount of it is all about how dem cowboys choked again, get rid of Dak, get rid of McCarthy why did they play soooo bad. Why is it all about shock in how poor the cowboys played... It is about time to give credit (more than a 1 liner) about how just maybe the Packers were by far the better team, better prepared and hungry to show what they can do!!! They came into Jerry world, took the cowboys lunch and ate it in front of them while making them hold their drink. Go Pack Go!!
yea, the flower that blossomed in Dallas needs to stay humble and flexible ... 49ers arent going down without some haymakers.
Answer this. If Lover Boy is that great why did he sit for 3 years? Also why did GB only win 9 games and fell into the tournament at the finish? And why is their F/A a paltry +33? Dallas were that egregious one could not have written it worse on paper.
@@gregjay6134 I'm guessing Cowboys fan? Not sure who you are asking, nowhere did I say "...Lover Boy is that great...", though he has played pretty great this season. particularly the last half of the season including wins over teams still in the dance including KC and Detroit. Then followed it up going into the playoffs with the youngest team in the league to become the QB of the first 7 seed to knock of a 2 seed, while also being the youngest team to win a playoff game, in Dallas against a 12-5 Cowboys team that hadn't been beaten at home since the first game of last year, while putting up the most points against dem cowboys in their playoff history...that all the experts said couldn't happen!! Why did he sit for 3 years? Hmmm, tough one, oh, same reason Rodgers sat for Favre, great legacy QBs (or maybe you don't consider Rodgers, 4 time MVP, first ballot HOF good). And actually they won "their way into the tournament" and entered with a pretty loud, impressive statement thump in Jerry-world! Thanks, actually you convinced me that Lover Boy is that great!! Have a nice day.
@@gregjay6134So Your a Bears fan. Oh will
Matt LaFleur is out coaching everyone over the past few weeks. The Packers look fast and they’re playing fast. It looks like they have receivers all over the field.
😅
Looks like he wasn’t the problem
@@JR-ut1yx Nope, jokes on you 🤡💩🤡
Outcoaching shannahan will be impossible but he’s got me believing
The most dangerous team in the playoffs is the one that had to win multiple games in a row just to get in. They are already in a playoff mindset before the opening snap.
Same for Bills in the AFC. One tough team can break all the momentum. SF will be a landmark game.
Jordan Love looked like a superstar. Like Josh Allen Joe Burrow level QB. He was making superstar throws. That was my biggest takeaway. And as a Steeler fan my biggest takeaway is, that whoever is drafting QBS in Green Bay should come to Pittsburgh to give a seminar in scouting Quarterbacks.
Scouting is of course playing a large role, but so too is having that draft pick sit and learn. Now, given Rodgers was behind a HOF QB in Favre, and Love behind a HOF QB in Rodgers, I realize not every team has the luxury of waiting. But how many times have we seen first round QBs turn into nothing after being rushed into the spotlight?
Ron Wolf traded a 1st for Favre. Ted Thompson drafted Rodgers. Brian Gutekunst drafted Love. Not like one guy has been doing it all.
We Dolphins scouts will co-organize the seminar.
Thank you for talking about the Positives of the Green Bay Packers & not just how bad them cowboys were yesterday. It’s enough of bashing of them. And let’s give more attention to how Fabulous JLOVE & the rest of the Packers played !! 🤩💚💛❤️🔥🏈❤️🔥💚💛
That was the most fun I've ever had a sports fan for the course of a whole game.
I've had more blissful moments - Jordan hitting buzzer beaters as a 10yr old in Chi is tough is compare - but this took my back to my 10yr self and it was magical.
Thanks, Jordan (again!)
Thank you for covering this because nobody seems to be talking about this. Only what Dallas failed to do. Not what the Packers have done since Thanksgiving Day
I love how Eisen uses a physical notebook for his notes! If he has a lot of them from years past, what an incredible library that would/could be.
Love vs Purdy invites most people's attention but both defenses capture my attention because whichever team can contain the opposition and create timely stops or turnovers will move on to the championship game.
hopefully Barry can do what he did yesterday
Remember, Purdy put up 4T Ds, 0 INTs, 332 yards, with a 132 rating in his first playoff game (his 8th start). And put up 4TDs, 0 INTs, 252 yards, and a 145 rating against this same Cowboy team this year.
Packers D will have an easier time stopping Purdy than 9ers D will stopping Jordan Love
Barry already knows how to stop the 9ers offense, he did it really well two years ago in the Divisional round. I think the way to beat the 9ers will be the same as the way you beat Dallas : score early, prevent them from scoring early and get in their head
@@MrGoodeatsyou’re delusional 😂
Hey Rich! Can you interview Aaron Jones every week until after the Super Bowl? Need that good luck charm for this playoff run 😎💚💛
Its remarkable how much Love seems to have picked up from Rodgers in his playing style through osmosis over those three years on the bench. The hopping on the balls of his feet, the back foot throws, the movement in the pocket and the hard counts are all Rodgers traits. You would never be able to sell a first round draft pick on this normally but telling them they are going to sit and learn for three years might just be a good idea for a raw talent like he was coming out of Utah State.
more than that. Rogers had to learn through Osmosis because Favre made it clear mentoring wasn't his job. Rogers actually did step in and mentor Love.
Very true, but I'm hoping Love didn't adopt Rodgers blueprint on playing the 49ers in the playoffs.
And I followed his career at Utah State. He’s the real deal.
@@eddiedzamastagic1205 in all the playoff losses against the 49ers, they were hardly his fault. he balled out and the defense could'nt stop a nosebleed, or he outscored the 49ers and special teams f*cked everything up (the last one the Packers offense scored more points than the 49ers Offense, its not his fault special teams sucked that bad).
Without Rodgers diva attitude
All hale Brian Gutekunst. What a roster top to bottom.
As a huge Niners fan, absolutely taking the Packers as seriously as possible. This is gonna be a dogfight
Choke artist Aaron Rodgers is no more
Agree this offense is so fast
Packers at the cowboys kyptonite. The 49ers are the packers kryptonite
All I want is my team to beat your team, I hate your team no offense.
@@zackdreamcastthat's why I hate em
How about a Lions v Packers NFC championship game?
I had Love's stats pointed out to me by David Lombardi, 49ers guy. He said that Love is becoming an elite QB. He started out slowly, but if you look at the last 9 games or so, his stats are impressive. o
He leads the NFL in qbr over the past 12 games.
Luv the “Wreck the buffet”.
Packers continue to prove that they are in the top 2 or 3 organizations in the NFL
Of course Packers are a better team. They didn't just beat Dallas, they crushed them. Niners are a great team but if they play like they played against the Vikings and Bengals, they will be doomed. Packers are no joke, mark it.
If you can rattle Purdy he throws it to the opposing team.
As 49ers fan you are right about the if the 49ers played the way they did vs the browns, vikings and bengals we are cooked.
I could also say if the packers play like they played vs the raiders, broncos, and lions early in the year GB is Cooked.
Its the same thing man and to be honest i give the packers lots of props because they are on the rise definately but their roster isnt better then the 49ers.......but that doesnt mean the 49ers win.
@@mikef410 Yes, you are correct, GB needs to play like they played Detroit, KC and Dallas otherwise they are doomed too. GB needs to play Niners like it's a SB game otherwise they will lose faster than they think.
@@Pccpy i will say 49ers are built a bit different then the cowboys. They like contact after the tackle and dont give up as easily but i have seen so many promising teams go one and done.
Not sure what i think of Purdy quite yet because he has technically only been in the league 2 years and played only 20+ career games. I think love is the better talent but i just dont want to blow smoke after 8 good weeks. Its the consistency that is yet to be seen and i dont like jumping to conclussions right away
Packers offense is cruisin'! They have so many damn playmakers that Reed didn't even get a catch and Heath was a healthy scratch! J-Love...duuuuuuudddee...this guy is on FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Don't forget Bo Melton. I didn't really see him out in the field against the Dallas Cowboys
@@danielrobles8712 him and Christian Watson each had one catch a piece. Pretty much Melton, Watson and Reed were decoys for most of the game while Doubs and Wicks balled out along with our tight ends!
I definitely think the Packers had better offensive balance than the Cowboys. They used all of their WR’s, TE’s, and RB’s where Dallas relied on their TE after Lamb got lost. They didn’t really have time to use their run game.
It is THE best strength of Green Bay right now. This offense can be slowed, but never stopped. Because teams may lock down Aaron Jones or WR1 and WR2, but nobody can lock down WR3 and WR4 and TE2 as well. No one has a secondary that good.
That opening drive that the Pack put together was hands down from start to finish the best complete and definitively well composed drive I think I recall seeing since the Super Bowl squad of 1996 or so with Favre and the big guys that won it who played around that time.
A genuine work of art! Thanks!!
Can’t argue with the results. The Packer way is THE WAY.
Anyone else remember rodgers wanting all the motion and movement pre snap to go away because it made things too complecated....this young team figuring it out really puts it into perspective. Rodgers is great and gave the packers a lot of great years but that chip on his shoulder got a little too big.
Thank you!! Major kudos to the packers. All I’ve been watching videos about excuses from Dallas. How about just give the packers respect for playing a great game. Go pack go!!
The Pack is well aware of the games they have lost out in San Fran in recent years...they have not fared well on the west coast for a long time...they have a huge monkey they are determined to get off their back this weekend and that is defeating the Niners and being one win away from the most improbable accomplishment that anyone has seen in the super bowl era...watchout NFL...the Pack is still back. it has been a successful season so far beyond our expectations...so even if the Niners win...we got more this season than we had envisioned
I would love to see history be made and see the packers go all the way, no matter the outcome though at least we knocked out the cowboys. Next week will be a huge task but if they show up like last night better watch out they could take another W.
Shanahan, LaFleur, and McVay were all on multiple staffs together.
LaFleur has McVay's number.....but Shanahan owns them all.
Maybe the team being as young as they are , doesn’t have a whole roster full of high paid diva’s and ego’s and just go out there to prove to everyone they can win. With 2 daughters the same age, for young people that is a motivating factor! They don’t want to hear their young and inexperienced, but given the chance they will prove that they belong. The Packers are showing up!
Relying too much on One Receiver can bite you - Ask Devonte Adams and Aaron Rodgers. Also is the Cowboys run game what is was a few years ago? All the Packers receivers can Catch the ball - Amazing Talented Receiving Crew.!!
Thank you for an honest review. Not all about the Cowboys and what they should of did. You, sir, did a review on a team that bet the second seed, from the kickoff.
Thank you again.
Could we be watching the beginning of a Packers dynasty?
I am really starting to believe that. Jordan Love and all the pass catchers on this offense are no joke. These dudes are bringin' it.
Our rivals would be so mad
Love and CJ Stroud...someone forgot to tell both of them this wasn't supposed to be their moment yet...lolololol.
It's crazy that there was only a 2 yard difference between them having the exact same stat line.
Respect Rich!
You are a great man
As a bears fan this game was sickening
As a die hard Packers fan, I'm already happy that they broke a 50/50 regular season win percentage in their first "rebuilding" year after Rodgers. I'm elated that they utterly destroyed the Cowboys (Cowboys didn't lose, the Pack BEAT them)....and I'm excited to see how far that they go in the post this year.
I'm not sure if they can best the Niners....right now, and I'm OK with that. They've exceeded my expectations already this season. What I'm ecstatic about are the coming years, because they have a LOT of young talent, led by LaFleur and Love, that's only going to get better. I think we may have another SB ring or two coming that we should've gotten in the Rodgers years.
Heady times for us, for sure! GO PACK GO!
"He is a real dude" needs to be added to Del Tufo's collection of incredible sound bites.
Thanks for talking about how GB played and dominated vs how the cowboys blew it.
Love this guy!!!!❤❤❤
Rich Eisen was one of the many football experts on TV saying Jordan Love was a massive bust and not worth a crap in mid Oct. I’m still waiting for these football “experts” to say they were wrong in their assessment. Still waiting to hear from cowherd, Ryan, eisen and plenty others. All they have to say is I was wrong about Jordan love
Owning the Bears and trampling the Cowboys, makes my year. All you need is Love-love-Love is all you need.
I think you're completely right and no one else has figured this out
Low key, Green Bay actually beat the Cowboys worse than the 49ers did. They were in complete control of that game from the opening possession - sending the message, that we expect to score when we have the ball. They did. Six touchdowns + another on defense.
If Green Bay can figure it out defensively and this offense even marginally improves to the extent you'd expect from literally exclusively first and second year receivers and TEs as well as a first year QB....I don't think its crazy to think Gute may have punted a SB run in 2020-21 in favor of the opportunity of multiple runs maybe even this year but certainly in the next 4-5.
The man hit on 4 legit starting receivers and 2 starting TEs, in back to back drafts, honestly all with superstar potential, and timed it exactly with the starting season of his new franchise QB.
Theres no one we could of drafted instead of Love that would have won a SB
Rodgers lost the games against San Fran and TB.
Wr have 11 livks jn this years draft as well, including 2 picks in each of the 2nd/3rd and 4th rounds
Yeah that audible/presnap setup and then the play/throw to wicks for a TD was the icing on the cake for me with Love.
That was one. Another was the short three-yarder to Doubs. That was a crazy good throw his lineman were blown away by. Another which caught my eye was, I think against the Chiefs, where he was under pressure with the pocket collapsing on both sides, stepped up calmly and going a TD to the back of the end zone. The kid can play and has all the tools, for certain. Defenses will adjust with more study of him, but he will adjust as well.
lol that train stops in San Fran
I was a Jordan Love believer from the beginning back when all the dumb packers fans were totally panning the pick. I am surprised the Packers won in such dominating fashion but I am not surprised that Jordan Love immediately took his team to the divisional round after beating one of the super bowl favorites.
I am so damn excited for Saturday! Go pack go 🧀💪
Beat badddd!
When all the helmets had "Be Love" on them, you knew it was going to be his day.
Thank you Rich! Everyone it was just the Cowboys playing bad and noy the Packers balling out.
Let's be Brutal about the Cowboys, that Logo, 1 Star, is a Rating. Go 'The Pack', from an Aussie.
People need to understand… Jordan Love is Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes mixed together. Trust me… 49ers are going down.
I knew the day I mounted a contract in my dynasty league for Jordan Love ❤️, I had nothing to worry about
Hey Rich, breath of fresh air hearing a media Sports pundit admit to being wrong ... as surprising as the flower blossoming in Dallas for the Pack.
Keep up the truthful great work.
I thought the Packers could beat the Cowboys based on who the Cowboys actually beat in the regular season and how badly they lost against good teams. But I didnt tell anyone. Why jinx 'em?
A big shout out to the Packers' offensive line. Without their ability to keep Jordan Love upright and Aaron Jones having a hole, none of this is possible.
My hometown guy, Bakersfield, California. Been a Packers fan since 67 Ice bowl ! Go Jordan !!
The Packers know to pick a QB.
Rich is my fave! And I love the apology 😅😊
Dan Quinn had a problem with his defense all season against teams that consistently ran the ball. He was unable to adjust. At times, that fact was masked by Dak's ability to throw them to a victory.
As a Packers Fan, McCarthy has consistently had a problem with the run, both on O and on D. and that graphic showing the 1 and dones in the playoff? Green Bay was right behind Cowboys, and guess who was coach for most of those.....McCarthy.
Thank you for being the only freaking commentator to finally recognize that the packers BEAT the cowboys and not that the cowboys LOST to the packers
We shall see
I can hear Van Halen “Jamies crying” but using the name “Jerry” instead 😂😂
A lot of it comes down to matchups, strength vs strength, as a GB fan not sure what will happen this year, but I say the next 2 or 3 seasons will be awesome!!
Jerry Jones is too hands on….he needs to let ‘’football ‘’ people run the thing…..he should just sign the checks….hes too emotionally involved with his decisions
Love was ready week one. Receivers weren’t. But now…….
Finally someone who is saying WHAT IT IS❤️🙏🏻 🎶GreenBay Going to the Soup-A-BOWL 🎶
It takes most people 3 months to learn a job. It took Jordan Love 3 months how to be a QB in the NFL. Weeks 1-9 Packers and Weeks 10-18 Packers are two completely different teams.
I’ve been saying Jordan Love is HIM for 3 years now‼️‼️🔥
PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME
It's a longer season with the NFL adding additional regular season games to the schedule. It's not the best team but sometimes the hottest team going into the preseason that wins it all. It helps to have success when you're so young and able to recover from a long season.
The Packers pissed in the Cowboys punch bowl.
Finally, somebody talking about the Packers being good instead of talking about the team that got thrashed.
Stafford made some insane throws, too! my goodness!
With all that if the reffs called the penalty on the last drive the Rams kick a field goal and win 26 to 24 so don't get ahead of your self he did ok against a not great team
@@mikestutte698 - The Rams attempt to kick a FG.......No guarantee they make it.....especially with Maher.
Thank you for finally complementing on how well the Packers have played and that they might just be the real deal that no one is acknowledging or recognizing!
The o line were did theycome from? Tight ends? I guess when you are the most blitzed on team, you figure it out. And Ice man Love,.
Fun fact 🚨 The Green Bay Packers have more postseason victories In AT&T Stadium than the Cowboys do😂 GO PACK GO 🏈🧀🏈🧀🏈
This is what a player from the Chicago Bears said, " How do you prepare to play a bunch of NOBODY'S ".😂😂😂
YEAH, HERE WE GOOOOOO!
What makes the Packers so dangerous is they have 5 receivers and 2 TEs (plus more that I may be forgetting) that are good! You have to have a few good CBs and LBs to defend this group, and it’s almost impossible. Give them another year, and this will be the best receiving group in the NFL
Rich Eisen has always been a class act. The fact that he offers a mea culpa on air for his previous mistakes is something not many of the talking media heads will do these days.
The Packers aren’t touching the 49ers. They are about to get SLAMMED
I think it is becoming a team sport again. Too many team's fortunes hinge on a few key star players. If they under preform or get injured, the team tends to fall apart. Also, you have rookies playing for big future contracts which is also a big motivator!
I'm glad someone is giving the Packers props for winning the game. Most of the media focuses on the Cowboys losing. Rich is one of the few media guys that I can respect. He's not an over reactor and is informative. Win or lose against the 49ers, I'm very optimistic and excited for a great Packer future.
I love it that Love got $500k. Does Jerry Jones have to pay it??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The football gods have truly blessed Green Bay. Smallest market in sports, no owner, may not get the biggest free agents or top draft picks but they have might’ve hit on a super star potential hall of fame caliber quarterback yet again. They’ve figured the QB/ draft to develop formula. Kudos again pack nation. Phins fan here
it’s the next man up mentality with this receiving core anybody can step up any given week. They are just talent from top to bottom on wide receiver.
TJ punching air in the break room
An apology. Classy. 👊🏻💯
Yall said the same about Jalen Hurts!!
Jordan Love - making Aggies everywhere proud!
I ask this - who has the best young receivers , TE and RB ?
Niners gonna beat the brakes off the packers.
The first honest apology from a talking head. Much respect to Risen for sincerely admitting he was wrong. Does Cowherd have the same amount of integrity?
Shhhhh, let them keep doubting us Rich.
Players drafted in the 1st round have already peaked. Late draft picks are like rough cut diamonds. If you polish them, they will shine just as bright.
The Cowboys WERE feeling really good about themselves...until they weren't.
Jordan Love is a good quarterback! He is not a diva.
