0-6 without Micah Parsons. 

Hate that I was right but this team sucks. 

Matt LaFlure the Craig Counsell of the NFL.

This is a five win team.

That's exactly what's needed for this to be blown up, because average gets them paid and they are just fine with that. 

We are years away from contention right now.  

[adambr2]

Both of you Matt LaFleur apologists left on this board, where you at?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

What a waste of time and collateral Parsons was. Wonder if he'll want to play Week 10 when we're 3-6.

Hopefully next offseason we can trade Parsons for some draft help for the new GM and coach.

If they had a competent OL, Love could throw for 600 yards on this secondary.

[HarryDoyle]

Why is Love still in this game?

[adambr2]

Let’s get a TD here to make it 39-29 so we can get a “really proud of the way we battled at the end” moment in during the postgame presser. 

[homer]

Love will be lucky play a full season behind this line

They won’t, but if you can salvage a 1st and 2nd, you should. 

Of course the massive extension they gave him makes him pretty much untradeable now anyway.

3rd and 11, opening drive of the 2nd half,  and a turtle playcall...immediately followed by your roster seeing that, the vikings smelling blood in the water, and getting your teeth kicked in the rest of the game.

Screw you, MLF

Think of this crazy truth:

The guy who in his very last game, pissed a 21-3 lead down his leg in the playoffs, somehow managed to one up himself in his very next game.

Screw you, Matt LaFleur, and screw you Ed Policy for letting it happen. 

[adambr2]

Too bad Matt did a better job of defending a woman beater this week than he did preparing his team. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I can't believe anyone talked themselves into thinking this OL would hack it.

They probably did a decent job of blocking their own blah defensive line all training camp

[HarveysWBs]

Thank goodness for baseball. I can maybe have some expectations for some team for the next month. Maybe.

Game turned when MLF didn’t take the points and the refs bailed the Vikings out 3 times. Then the Packers decided to piss down their legs the rest of the game. 6 games in a row and counting. 

[HarryDoyle]

It should be literally impossible to outgain a team 419 to 239 and lose. To lose by three scores is something I'm not even sure science or mathematics has a word for.

But for a MLF team that is reality. 

[OldHeidelberg]

Hey Packers front office, remember several months ago when every Packer fan, all the beat writers and even Jame Jones called for MLF to be fired? But what do all us dumbshits know.... 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I've been saying it for weeks, but this team just simply did not pass the sniff test. You always want to believe when you're a fan. They were just so, so bad once Micah was out last year, and did very little to shore up those concern areas. I just did not understand where the optimism was coming from, or how they were opening the season in top 10 lists. 

There was way too much casually tossing aside just how bad they got. I kept hearing about the return of their other league-average starters would be a big deal - I'm sorry - Wyatt is a fine pick for building a team, he's a decent player, but the buzz would have you believe prime Warren Sapp was back in the fold. I can't remember the last time supposedly great McKinney made a play.

Their TLDR is: Some really nice skill players on offense, now less without RB, zero depth nearly across the board, a piss-poor OL, a defense without any playmakers outside of the one who's hurt, and a bad ST unit.

I can't believe I'm defending MLF even slightly but I thought that choice was fine. Run a 5-wide quick slant to get 2 yards. Not a QB sneak. That's a jugular decision so I will not hate him when I normally hate what a turtling goon he is. 

But I disagree - 3rd and 11 was the turn. That was the point everything crumbled.

[HarryDoyle]

On the bright side...

 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Not a primary reason they lost...but the officiating was replacement level fail Mary bad.  Its a shame the packers found plenty of other reasons to blow a game  a competent, well-coached team would win by more than 2 scores in its sleep and couldnt put the focus on the bang job they received from the zebras

[Fear The Chorizo]

I dont know how Policy cant see how toxic the culture is within the organization and be ok with leaving the guys responsible for creating it in charge.

 

No accountability on this roster at all
