Is Matt LaFleur Soft?

 


            Is Matt LaFleur too soft? I’m beginning to think so after the start of this season so far.

            Don’t get me wrong, LaFleur seems like a great guy and has won a lot of games as the head coach of the Packers, but so far this season the play-calling and attitude of the team have become extremely questionable.

It’s tough to gauge at this point, LaFleur can really scheme up a game. He comes from that long Shanahan coaching line that has had success all over the league. But at times he looks like he’s never watched a football game before when watching some of his play-calls.

            LaFleur is definitely a players' coach, but is he too much of one? The energy of the Packers to start games this season has been pretty poor, and the play-calls have been very frustrating to watch. It almost seems as if Lafleur has been more of a friend to the players than a coach this season.

            Fact of fiction, you’d rather go to battle with Dan Campbell or Matt LaFleur.

            That’s an absolute fact, the energy Campbell brings along with his knowledge and coaching ability is exactly why the Lions have improved since his head-coaching tenure started.

            That fire and motivation is just not the same with LaFleur. Yes, every coach is different, but still, the Packers are a young team and there is absolutely no reason the youngest team in the NFL shouldn’t come out with high energy every week they play a football game.

            Also, the press conferences where he continuously has said after losses that, “We have to figure it out” is complete nonsense! You’re a coach in the National Football League, you can’t just keep saying that and not change anything you do as the head coach!

            This season isn’t going to show everything about Lafleur, but it will be a true indicator of what the future in Green Bay looks like with him as head coach.

Oh, and if you did forget, LaFleur is the guy who brought back the Packer’s lovely defensive coordinator, Joe Barry.

            There is a lot of football left yet to be played, but boy if LaFleur doesn’t get this team fired up and fix the play-calling for the rest of this season, Packer fans shouldn’t be afraid to talk about a hypothetical future without him in Green Bay.

The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay

  The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay                It’s early, but through four games the Packers have had multiple injuries that have hurt them early this 2023 NFL season.             For starters, the loss of David Bakhtiari to IR is a killer. Unfortunately, most Packer fans could see it coming from a mile away. His injury at the end of the 2020 season seems to be a career killer to what could have been a clear-cut hall-of-fame career.             Other offensive line injuries have hurt the Packers as well, Elgton Jenkins is expected to miss a few games with a knee injury after exiting week 2 against Atlanta. Zach Tom, who has performed well for the Packers early, is also dealing with a knee injury. These injuries are another indicator as to why the Packers have struggled to run the football early. Of course, Aaron Jones playing only one full game hurts, but these offensive line injuries need to end quickly if the Packers expect to win more games. Continuing with the offense, Christ

(Photo via Evan Siegle on packers.com)             I have two words for you…Jayden Reed!             What an impressive performance from the green and gold in primetime against the Vikings. They dominated in every aspect of this game as they should’ve. Jayden Reed is easily the steal of the draft this season and this game proved it even more. The connection between Love and Reed is something special, and the future looks very bright for the Packers. . @jordan3love ➡️ @JaydenReed5 for the TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/8QRr5RCyv7 — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 THAT'S A @jordan3love TD! 🏃💨 #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/mnNyZGdKJO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 ANOTHER @JaydenReed5 TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/FT58FpKFbq — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 Capping off a 91-yard drive!

Packers vs. 49ers Preview: Prepare for a Matt LaFleur Masterclass

Image
  Can the Green Bay Packers do it again? Can they shock the entire nation by beating the San Francisco 49ers at home? It’s going to be a tall task and a lot of things are going to need to go their way. However, as we’ve seen this season, any team is beatable.             The 49ers are an absolute wagon and as of recent history, they’ve dominated the Packers in the playoffs. However, we’re not here to dwell on the past, we’re here looking forward to the future as the Packers themselves have done this season. They battled back from a 3-6 record and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their 4 th  win in a row against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. The Packers are 0-4 in their last four playoff games against the 49ers. Aaron Jones: "It's not about the past. It's about the future and what we're about to do right now." pic.twitter.com/eoQfRXlx9g — Adriana Torres (@TorresAdrianaTV) January 18, 2024             I could say the Packers don’t have a sho
