When the Colts blitzed Malik Willis yesterday, he was 5-of-6 for 80 yards and a touchdown with a perfect passer rating of 158.3. The Packers tailored their offense to suit his strengths and he executed everything he was asked to do to perfection.

  1. It’s only the second ~~win~~ game of the season, but it may be one of the biggest wins of the year.

    Winning yesterday and going 1-1 with Malik at quarterback gives Jordan a bit more breathing room to rest and recover. It instilled confidence in the team and coaches and he showed them what he can do.

    It also allows us a bit more breathing room to make a decision against a not so great Tennessee team that allowed 4 sacks yesterday and only scored 17 points.

    If we went 0-2, I’m sure there’s a bit more panic to get Love back on to the field. But 1-1 heading to Tennessee sure does make things a bit easier.

  2. He had some NICE throws as well. That touchdown pass was just out of the way.

    That throw to Doubs had my heart in my throat. It looked a little behind, but GODDAMN MY BOI DOUBS! I’m confident

  3. My expectations are relatively realistic with Malik, but that was encouraging. I’m very confident this team w/ Malik can beat the Titans, even on the road. We definitely need Jordan back for the Vikings though IMO.

  4. I said this during the game. It’s so nice to see a game plan tailored to the QB rather than expecting the QB to do everything the starter can. If he could do it as effectively, he wouldn’t be a backup, but being on the bench also gives him time to grow and potentially be a trade piece for GB after a solid (albeit limited) showing.

    Lastly, this shows a complete buy-in from the team. Instead of Willis trying to be Jordan Love, the entire team said “We’ll change what we’re doing and how we’re operating to help Willis.”

    THAT’S championship mentality. That’s a team first attitude from the whole squad.

  5. Lafleur still doesn’t get enough credit for all he does. He had a perfect game plan. Over 40 minutes of possession is insane.

  6. It was one of the most satisfying wins I’ve ever seen. Just watching the offense play around Malik’s strengths and not make any mistakes (aside from the goal line fumble which HURT)

    I have a whole new faith in this team now and can’t wait for Jordan to get back! &SO HYPED to attend my first Packers game (and first regular season game) this Sunday against the Titans!

  7. he’s gonna have to throw more in the future. big dub, excited to see how things will change game to game

  8. I was surprised by how well Malik could scramble. He never got flustered under the pressure and could get off a pass or decent run

  9. So what you’re saying is the Seahawks are going to give him a fat contract only for him to return to us in a year as our backup?

  10. So you mean to tell me that building a gameplan that gets the most out of the QB’s skillset, instead of asking a QB to play outside his skillset to get the most out of a coach’s gameplan, actually works? Mind blown.
