Micah Parsons & The Packers Dominate The Lions… | Pat McAfee Show

Is Michael Parsons going to be in game shape? Is Michael Parsons going to be able to play football for the Packers after being traded so late? He did address being traded so late where he was like, “If we would have done this at the right time, I could have been working with these guys.” I think Michael loves his time at the Packers. Now, obviously, they get a win. Obviously, he gets a sack. Obviously, he becomes the highest paid non-quarterback player of all time. 47 million a year. There’s a lot of honeymoon things, but boy, when Jared Goff just hears a ban and ban it behind him, I I assume that he thought no fatso, no D lineman, no defensive. Nobody over 220 lbs is going to be able to walk me. I have a 20 yard head start on all remember field is 53 and a third wide. Micah hunted him down. Nectton mentality like a damn shark. And obviously he has a celebration point in the sky. The number one looks much cleaner than I think we all thought it was going to be. Jordan Love was slicing and dicing. Feels like the defense is very good. Green Bay Packers fans thinking Super Bowl this year for the Pack. Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, there’s no question. Now, I didn’t know going into yesterday because again, the Lions are still very good, but boy did the Packers dominate this game from the onset, too. You mentioned it. I think the Micah stuff, we’ll get to that in a second, but Jordan Love, like people are talking about him winning an MVP this year. He had to do it. came out started 10 of 14 uh and they scored two touchdowns and were up 17 you know three very early which they were playing from behind against the Lions all year and in division games they just look crisp and everything you were hearing from the Packers offense was like they’re really hurt in the receiver room they don’t really know like we thought Josh Jacobs was going to come out and if he wasn’t scoring multiple touchdowns like this Packers offense was going to be in trouble not the case love looked phenomenal and then you mentioned it Michael Parsons I mean everyone can say whatever they I get it. He only played 45% of the snaps. Only got one sack. Only only had three pressures. Those three pressures. Okay. There was a two yard uh uh two- yard loss for a completion on third down. Caused a punt. He had the sack and then uh they also he he got to Jared Goff and Jared Goff threw an interception. So those are pretty, you know, also guys playing alongside of him. Yeah, that that is the that is what it ultimately what this comes down to is Lucas Vaness had his best game as a Packer yesterday. Rashan Gary had a sack and a half. Like he makes all the guys around him so much better. And it again, you could you talk about all that stuff of him being happy. This is a different guy than we saw in Dallas. Like sure, there’s there’s some of that, but everything I heard from him postgame and and like he’s he’s ecstatic to be a Packer. From some people that were there, they said when he came out of the the tunnel said it was the bit the loudest pop they’ve ever heard in Lambo. Well, welcome to Cheese Land, Micah Parsons. What a way to kick it off. The Packers look like they’re legit. Are the Lions dead? Are the Lions? Yeah, I’ll tell you what. Oh no. Everything we were worried about this whole off season was exposed yesterday. Detroit is burning to the ground right now. It’s not good. Well, you guys got new coordinators. The offensive line is the biggest worry. Foxy the Applebee’s commercial. Even you get rings for those. Dan Campbell’s F game in that one. Even he admitted he wasn’t as funny in the Applebee’s commercials. That was a sign. Let’s be honest. That was a sign. Oh no, not Detroit from 5 years ago. Yeah. The biggest worry though, Ragnar being gone was so evident. That’s a killer. Long season though. We got the Bears next. Have to beat them. I believe in Dan Campbell. Yes. So, I don’t think having a rough start with new coordinators is a bad thing, but boy, they’re going to have to get much better out there for Lions fans not to lose their mind. Obviously, the Packers are a team. Okay, Michael Parsons comes in there, 40ome% of the snaps, gets a sack at the end, obviously has a new celebration, opens up for everybody. Jordan Love looked good. Defense looked good. Lambo was electrifying. And the Detroit Lions, somebody that you thought you’d be competing with the NFC North with, obviously seemingly going to have a little bit of a tough start uh to this new coordinator era that they have over there. What is your big takeaway as the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers, AJ Hawk? I mean, my takeaway is this Packers defense. Obviously, the offense did everything they needed to win, but this defense was awesome. I mean, we know the impact Micah had, but I think everybody else stepped up. And it’s easy to say, “Oh, Micah opens it up for all these other guys.” And yeah, he definitely does, but I think it it brought everyone on the defense like it it brought him up to another level and Micah barely even played. So, imagine when Micah is actually a huge part of the game plan. But, man, Edan Cooper, Klay Walker, like these these guys can fly all over the place on the Packers defense. I love watching them play. What do you think about um Jordan Love? What do you think about the the team as a whole? Do you think there was good situational management out of the floor? Do you think the dominating wind that was a strike right there? He threw a couple of those over this middle that were obviously thrown to a spot, not to a person. Thrown to a spot, his receivers went and got it. Showed incredible arm talent. What do you think about everything else about managing and handling the game? Oh, I thought it was great. I mean, especially week one, that’s all you can ask for. Sometimes it can get clunky and can not not look uh as crisp as you want it to. But I think especially with how young they are that we hear them talk all the time how young the roster is. But the fact that they look good and I mean just I’m a bit biased. I was in Green Bay for 9 years. But Green Bay like when the sun is setting, when it looks like this, the setting, everything about it, it’s a magical experience. I think that came through the TV like it would have been an awesome day to be at Lambo. I think so too. And it sucks for the Lions fans who’ve had such a high for the past couple years that they’re maybe going to go through another little transition phase here as you’re trying to recycle everything. Go ahead. To AJ’s point, man, that that Packers defense, that was the thing I was most impressed about because when you think about Lions football, you think about them start I know Flashy, Gadgets, golf makes great throws, but you think about the line of scrimmage and being able to run the ball. They could not run the ball at all from the beginning. And I think Gibbs ended up like 20 yards rushing like to be and then Gibbs had I think 10 catches for like 31 yards. So that lets you know how how these guys are flying around attacking, tackling, getting guys to the ground, not allowing a bunch of yaks. So Jeff Hafley, the job that he’s done on that defensive side of the ball. Jordan Love has been has been a very good quarterback for a couple years now. Matt Laflur, we know who he is offensively as far as play calling goes, but this defense, man, they showed they showed up and showed it out for sure week one. Yeah. worrying about the run defense. There was a stat from NFL Pro after the game. It said of the Lions 22 carries, 16 of them the Packers hit them in the back field. That’s crazy. Like so that and which is like in year I mean the the last game last year uh late in the season, you know, it was in Detroit, close game, but that like the the Lions kept going for it on fourth down, kept getting it. They rushed for 250. I think Gibbs and Montgomery both had over a 100. So yeah, hearing all this stuff about Micah can’t play the run like and and just the Packers in general and then for them to come out and have that type of performance, it was incredible. # I don’t want to overreact, but it’s destiny written in the stars. Jordan Love looked exceptional. And yes, Micah Parsons with a limited snap count had a massive impact on the game. See in Santa Clara #go #Kings of the North. Good. Is everybody singing? Great hashtag usage. Thank you. Even it anytime there’s a little emblem after anytime you can get the emblem in there. Yeah. Yeah. Because that’s just a little pizzazz, you know. Yeah, it is very neat. Yeah, it is very neat. Uh is this how every Packers fan feels? Yes. Michael Parsons gets traded to you guys. You all think you’re going to win a Super Bowl and then first game goes the way it goes against a Detroit Lions team that is normally good against you guys. Uh and you have your way with them. You guys feel great. Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, I think everyone was still kind of and no one knew how much Michael was actually going to play. Um, so you know, you were you were hopeful the whole time, but yeah, had they done this against like the Bears or you know, one like another team that was like kind of on the fringe, hey, maybe make the playoffs, uh, it probably would have been a different reaction, but doing it against a team that won 15 games last year and the team that, you know, you’re is the king of the division right now and it I mean, it wasn’t particularly close like they thoroughly dominated that game. So, yeah, everyone is taking that, hey, we’re going to win the Super Bowl and now I think it’s just amplified by like a hundred. Well, congratulations. Pretty good. Rightfully so. Hey, that’s Carmen uh Policy’s boy, head policy making that big time trade with Jerry bringing in the juice. That’s what you do. You give up some assets, you bring in a difference maker. We all want guys that can change the math on defense and that’s a guy that changes the math not only for the guys he’s lining up with on the same level, but those secondary guys. You bring in a Michael Parsons, that’s going to upgrade everyone on the back end. So, you got a defense still wins championships. You obviously have an offense that can score. I don’t think that’s an overreaction T. Yeah, there are moments where and we talked about this a little bit before. There are moments where you forgot like Penn Su was on the field because of how good Micah Park they give him the damn ball. They should probably Ben Johnson would have been giving him ball third quarter if things weren’t going well. Yeah. Speaking of Timmy Horton call. Feels like the OC doesn’t know football. What? Jeez, that’s an overreaction. I like that. Nice play. You wouldn’t be able to tell. Lunch did play. Okay, did he? He didn’t look great. Thanks for He’s back from an injury. Whole pass rush didn’t look great. I’m starting to think [ __ ] lunch. That non player Peter Shreker did know what he was talking about about the Lions. I’m starting to think, hold on, hold on. There might be a for the next 20 years the, you know, the number one seed in the NFC might go through the NFC North, but [ __ ] he might not be, you know, MCDC’s quarterback. Oh yeah, it might be might be, you know, Green Bay or M Minnesota we might see tonight. JJ McCarthy looks good. [ __ ] We’re talking about the Lions being the third best team in their division again. Holy [ __ ] What if Caleb Oh man, don’t we We can’t go there. We can’t. Or we can. They’re all Lions. I mean first in the entire NFC. They got Jared Gofki. I’m seeing a lot of Glosski on the internet without Ben Johnson. We’re looking at Jared Glosski running out of the back of the end zone as Micah Parsons. I saw a lot of people saying that that’s what it looked like. That was unfair. I think Yeah, just just pretty messed up. That is that is the internet’s good though. Yeah. Where was J Mo, too? We’re just talking about Glossi. Where was J Mo? Where was Alman? Yeah, just getting paid counting their bills cuz they weren’t catching their passes. I will say I will say a lot of people are saying I know you guys call Monty and Gibbs Sonic and Knuckles. Some people are calling them ass and cheeks now. I don’t like that. I do not like that. Who was that? That was a tweet. Yes, that was a tweet on the internet. Sonic and Moose Knuckles. The internet is the internet is the greatest. Who’s the lion’s next opponent? The Bears, they better show up. We’re in a must-win situation right now. The NFC. The Bears haven’t even played yet. Oh, they might be the best. They might be the best. I’m a believer. Number one in the NFC to what Connor was alluding to is number four in the NFC North. Jeez Louise. That might be the Gez Louise moment of the weekend. I’m sorry Lions fans feel that way. Geez, it suck. I mean, but that’s the thing, you know, everybody wants to be the Patriots. It’s hard to be good for that long, man. You know, the Lions just they’re just going to be one of those flashing the pants. No, I don’t. That’s an overreaction. I never saw I never saw Bill in a [ __ ] Chili’s commercial. I wouldn’t be actually funny enough. But that is weird cuz the moment it all started going downhill, you could argue, was when Bill Bich appeared in that subway commercial, sat down on that bench. Is it true MCDC isn’t letting Texas&M scout? Uh, or is that that’s fake? Is it true MCDC made the boys run sprints on Lambo? No. I’m spraying Brown and Syracuse. All right.
