The Inexperienced Bay Packers are 0-1 after a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on the highway (far, distant) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
There is not any disgrace within the loss. Philly is an efficient group and the Packers, for a lot of the sport, appeared like the higher squad. On the finish of the day, a loss is a loss, although, and it could sting even worse relying on how a lot time quarterback Jordan Love misses with the MCL harm he suffered within the last drive of the sport.
The present should go on, although. That is the NFL, in any case, and the Packers have to bounce again shortly towards the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2.
These three gamers have to step up to ensure that the Packers to get a win.
Malik Willis, Quarterback
That is apparent with Love out, however the Packers actually need backup quarterback Malik Willis to not less than be serviceable so long as the franchise cornerstone is on the sideline along with his knee harm.
With Love, the Packers are a Tremendous Bowl contender. With Willis, although, there are questions as as to if or not Inexperienced Bay may even win a recreation.
Willis merely wants to guard the ball and let head coach Matt LaFleur scheme the gifted receivers round him open. Throw in a touch of Josh Jacobs at operating again, and if Willis can keep out of his personal means, the Pack needs to be okay.
Brayden Narveson, Kicker
The “Narv Canine” made three kicks in his first official NFL recreation, which is the great. The dangerous? He missed a 43-yarder late within the third quarter that would have introduced the Packers to inside two factors.
He was largely constant and confirmed off leg, however Narveson cannot be lacking kicks if the Willis-led offense is unable to place factors on the board by way of touchdowns.
Quay Walker, Linebacker
Quay Walker was abysmal towards the Eagles. Certain, on paper, he led the group in tackles. He was persistently out of place, although, and he single-handedly allowed Saquon Barkley to attain on an inside run when he took the unsuitable path to the hole and did not even try and make a diving deal with.
Walker has all of the bodily instruments on the planet, but when he cannot play in place and make the best reads towards the Colts, the Packers might get gashed — particularly with a gifted and athletic Anthony Richardson taking part in quarterback on the opposite aspect.
