I'd start Willis, even if Love is cleared to play. For a couple of reasons. First, Willis is playing really good, and is a real threat to take off running. While Love has not played in almost a month, and with his injury, doesn't have the ability to run away from the defenders. And with our Oline problems, could get him killed.
Then, if Willis isn't doing well, you can bring in Love to see if he can do any better.
Those are my thoughts, for what they are worth.

Unless, Love is more than 90% healed, I totally agree.
Its a long season, and given Willis' performance, and his healthy legs, let' not rush it.


The last two wins give us some room to be patient.
This is NOT a must win game.

It's funny how I've flopped around on this. I thought he would have handled the Colts game plan and it'd be OK. I didn't want to fall to 0 - 2. Then when it was 1 - 1 I thought going with all three and then having Jordan Love go a few series just to keep him less "rusty". And now seeing how Malik Willis and the offense has done the last two weeks I'm kind of like meh maybe let the QB who hasn't played much in the last 9 months rest another week, lol.

So, over/under sitting at 43.5 and Packers favored by 2.5? I'm thinking Vikings get the better of Packers this week. That Brian Flores defense seems to be a nightmare for the Shanahan tree offenses.

I agree. we lose in a defensive battle game. 21-13

Vikings lead NFL after 3 weeks in sacks with 16. That's not ideal for a QB with a bum wheel.

It depends does Darnold keep showing why he was picked in the first round or does he see ghosts again. Not just the Packers qb with performance issues.

Agreed. Malik is a great counter to an agressive pass rush. Let Love sit another week

I've put this off all week.

Is Love going to play? Is he still only at about 60-70%? If so will they bite the bullet and start Willis?
Minnisoda's run defense is pretty good. Will they shut both Jacobs and Willis down. If so advantage vickies.
Is JJ going to torch JA? If so advantage Minnisoda.
Will the Packers overload protection to JJ, if so another receiver including Jones might be running free. Advantage Minnisoda.
Will the Packers D stand up and get 3 turnovers this week? If so advantage Packers.
Will the Packers systematically pick apart the vickie LB and DBs? If so advantage Good Guys.
Will Jacobs bust out another big game? Will Jones take his revenge on the team that dumped him? If so neither may matter at all. Also it could decide the game.
Can the Packers pressure Darnold into having a bad game? If so advantage Packers? Maybe. I've seen way too many times a QB get flushed out of the pocket and throw to a wide open receiver for a huge play.

*SIGH*
Gotta go with the Packers pulling this one off. Too many maybes in play to say they will lose so I choose them.

I'm assuming JA is Jaire Alexander. He didn't practice today. 😬 Neither did Carrington Valentine. 😬😬
