[GAME05]

What's the O/U on team rushing yards next week? 40?

I used to read a bunch of articles from him, but his takes were so bad I gave up on AZ sports. 

If only we followed the Rams and signed a bunch of capable veteran FAs we would've won yest...er never mind.

This thing could get out of hand really quick. If we lose at least two of our next three games going into the Bears game, (and let's face it, there's a strong possibility we will) and the Bears come into our house and dog walk us like you know Ben Johnson wants to do, and the boo birds come flying from the Packer fans, followed by the Bears fans with their insecure little brother "Green Bay Sucks" chant, it's going to rank right up there as the lowest point in franchise history. And there's going to be some big humiliation felt by MLF, Gute, and the guy responsible for letting it get to that point, Policy.

We don’t talk about how much Gute sucks at building an offensive line enough. It’s not for a lack of investment, either.

Anthony Belton was drafted in round 2 last year. He was supposed to be a rare NFL ready Gute pick. 

And he can’t beat out awful players like Donavan Jennings or Jacob Monk?

This is just one of many examples. We know how disappointing Banks and Morgan have been.

I'm not sure the 3 Musketeers are capable of feeling humiliated. Usually when people at those levels of an organization are this bad at their jobs, that's the case.

Oh, I was banging this drum in April during the draft and ever since. I was told it "means nothing" that their Day 1 and Day 2 picks from prior drafts aren't playing.

Sean Payton is a douche nozzle of the highest order but he can coach circles around MLF

[adambr2]

LaFleur stated he wanted a two-score cushion because it "changes the whole complexion of the game".
 

I just love this quote about the decision yesterday. Sir, your team can’t protect a two score cushion to save your own life. How have your two score leads changed the complexion of anything?

He's not wrong on its face, but you're most likely correct that had they scored a touchdown and gone up 12, they would have blown it anyways because well, it's just their thing. 

For a team not based in Wisconsin, I still think it's the right call. Go up 12, time is waning, starts to force the opponent's hand as far as what kind of offense they can run and makes them more predictable/desperate.

But we suck, so none of that matters.

And I think he's overrated.

I'm pretty sure no scouting report said that.  He was a massive physical specimen who needed technique work with his hands and feet.  But I'm stunned that he lost the G starting role to Monk and Jennings. Both of whom I'd predicted wouldn't make the team... maybe I should've been right.

He only gets outscored 24-3 after the 1st quarter.

Calls screen passes on 3rd and 15 though.

I do still see 10/11 wins and believe MLF is an above average head coach. The opening week of the NFL is prime territory for overreaction. I know your dislike of MLF goes back a while, and that's fine, we can agree to disagree. I guess time will tell as the story of season is along way from being written

I do disagree. I respect your opinion, but I don’t know how you come to your conclusions logically. 

To win 10-11 games, the Packers need to finish 10-6 or 11-5 from here. 

The offensive line is a major weakness. The running game is nonexistent. 

They don’t win in the trenches on either side of the ball. 

I think they have good offensive weapons as far as pass catchers with Golden, Watson and Kraft. 

I think Jordan Love is a good quarterback, but not a “put a mediocre team on my back” like his predecessor was, which is essentially what is necessary for this team to have success. 

Matt Lafleur is a questionable gameplanner (I’m going to stop short of saying good given some of his really strange decisions on his O-line rotation), and just simply not a good leader of men. Say what you will about Johnson and Campbell, but there’s a lot of guys who would run through a brick wall for those two on the Bears and Lions. Do you think there’s anyone on the Packers that goes into game day ready to run through a brick wall for Matt Lafleur? The fact that the very thought of that is comical is pretty telling. 

You need that little bit of edge and drive in this league when you have run into adversity, so it’s not a coincidence that they usually fall apart when adversity strikes.
