We’ve sorted through dozens of articles about the Packers’ latest news, game results, rosters, rumors and other info that’s important to the team and to you. Check it out! By PACKERSWIRE After a sluggish start over the opening two drives on Saturday night against the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love settled in and delivered a confidence-inspiring march down the field to end the first quarter at Lambeau Field. The six-play drive covered 93 yards and tied the game at 7-7. Three plays in particular help highlight the incredible potential of Love as a first-year starter and set the foundation for real optimism as he and the rest of the Packers offense preps for Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. Let’s dig in: The drive took off when Love hit Romeo Doubs for a 42-yard completion that was originally ruled incomplete. Matt LaFleur’s successful challenge made sure this counted as an explosive play. The Patriots brought a difficult pressure look but Love stood tall and decisively found the 1-on-1 matchup down the field to Doubs, who made the catch and got two feet in bounds. The throw, while fading a bit toward the sideline, was still an accurate one that gave his receiver a chance to make the play. Matt LaFleur liked the trajectory, which allowed Doubs to track it and make the catch in traffic. So many scoring drives in the NFL require explosive plays, so hitting these will be very important for the 2023 Packers. Love’s athleticism is an underrated part of his game. He can extend plays and even create with his legs. The nice part of this play is that Love lets the play develop before deciding to take off. When he makes the decision to leave the pocket, there isn’t a Patriots defender within 10 yards of him downfield. Love slipped a tackle at the line of scrimmage and did a nice job identifying the chasing defender before sliding down. A late hit tacked on another 15 yards, making this a 26-yard play. Quarterbacks must be able to create outside of structure, and Love can. There’s so much to like about this play overall from Love. Start with the poise in the pocket. He made subtle moves to buy a little extra time and never looked panicked despite a five-man pressure. His poise led to patience, and allowing rookie Jayden Reed to both run away from his man coverage and get past the linebacker and into the secondary passing window. From there, Love ripped an accurate ball, hitting Reed in stride between defenders. The rookie made the catch, made a man miss and scored. When Matt LaFleur talks about poise and command from Love, this is what he means. Making precision plays like this one is what it takes to score touchdowns in the red zone in the NFL.

"Kudos to Amy for making sure that the tickets to the tailgate party were waiting for me at the reception desk! Your personal phone call and text messages went above and beyond customer satisfaction!

"Good Morning, Nicole - Everything you did turned out great. The seats were great. Access to the air conditioned club lounge was great. Lots of Packers fans in the club lounge and overall at the stadium. The tailgate party at the fancy restaurant in the hotel was fabulous. The servers just kept on bringing out different sliders and desserts. Good thing that I got in a 30-minute run along the river in the morning. So, thank you! You may be speaking with me in November if I can work out getting up to Green Bay for a game. It's been too long since my last time.
One of the best aspects of this weekend was interacting with so many people from Wisconsin and learning their personal stories of things Packers. And we even met a couple from St. Petersburg, Florida (my home county) and were able to tell them about the Varsity Club tavern and Packers bar in Clearwater where Mark Murphy's mother is in attendance -- very nice lady whose retirement home is in Clearwater, which borders my little city of Dunedin. Pre-COVID, I always went to the Varsity when the Packers games weren't televised locally -- lots of Wisconsin natives there, too + they serve brats and sauerkraut during Packers games. I'm glad that you are working for Event USA.

"Dennis - I was blessed to join Amy and some of your customers at the Morton's tailgate as well as after the game. She does an amazing job for you. Every single customer I met praised Event USA for being able to arrange the hotel and tickets and fabulous tailgate party in such a quick time. Having been to some great tour tailgate parties in Jacksonville and Kansas City and old San Francisco, a lot can be said of the long-term benefit of having really great tailgate parties. Morton's was probably one of the best - amazing food, patio sitting on the riverfront, walk to stadium, open bar!!! It was first class fun!!!"

"Hi Amy-

Go pack go!!"
-Julie Mastrianni
"I want to thank Event USA and in particular Amy Flores for the Jacksonville trip. We have used you before and always were very pleased with the packages you have set up and your service.
My son who lives in Charleston, SC and myself who lives in Minnesota, decided we needed to do a guys trip and decided to go through your company to see the opener in New Orleans. I initially called and talked with Amy about some questions I had and booked our trip. After itinerary and info was emailed to us, it soon became apparent that the trip to New Orleans wouldn’t happen. In steps Amy, wondering if we would be interested in Dallas if the game was moved there and a package was set up. Then finally the move to Jacksonville and continued communication from Amy on our interest. It was getting late at that point and I was wondering if she would be able to pull off setting up a package in Jacksonville. She did it.
We went to Jacksonville and had a great time. The accommodations and the tail gate were fabulous. If only the Packer team we were hoping for had made the trip.
Thank you Event USA and in particular Amy Flores."

"Thank you for all your help. I had a great time at the Packer-Raider game opening day. I have already begun telling interested Packer fans in Sacramento about your service.

-Frank Chavez, Sacramento
"I just wanted to say that I had such a great time. The whole weekend was so much fun. I enjoyed the Player Autograph Party and the tailgate party was just the best. After coming from a country that loves soccer, it was nice to mix with people who have the same interests as me. Thank you once again, Green Bay is one very special place."
-Beverley Moore, Lancaster
"My accommodations at the Best Western Midway were excellent. I was picked up at the airport and returned promptly. No problems at all. Your representative at the hotel on game day was very pleasant and helpful. The tailgate party was super, great food, great drinks and lots of fun. Obviously, Lambeau Field and the game itself was great. I will continue to use Event USA in the future, and I will definitely tell anyone who I come across to give you a call. One last thing, the hospitality I experienced in Green Bay was incredible. I have traveled to many places, and I don’t think there are more friendly people than the people of Green Bay. Thank you again and see you next year!"
-David Anastas, Worchester
"My wife and I booked the tour to Tampa. The trip was so well organized from start to finish. It started with the people in the office with their friendly help over the phone, to receiving the tickets in the mail, and meeting the tour guides with their upbeat personalities. Signs guided us in the airport and information was posted in our motel lobbies to keep us posted. Your people had everything in order. Talk about organization, you had it. Event USA made this a most memorable trip. Thanks for all involved."

In fact, we can’t wait to schedule and event for next season’s games. From my first experience with your staff placing my order until the very end at checkout of the hotel, everything was perfect. You truly out-do yourselves to please everyone. Thanks again for making our stay in Green Bay one of the best."

"Thanks so much for the best weekend ever! You not only got us in all the Magazines, TV, WWW pages and even the big screen at Lambeau Field, but Disney World on the side? Nice job – You and your family are top notch – we were on the best tour for the Super Bowl! Seeing the Green Bay Packers win back the Lombardi Trophy was a life long dream of this Packer fan, and you all were so dedicated to the job of taking care of us that, like the Packers, we were a winning team! Keep me on your list."
