The story after this one will be the emerging narrative around LaFleur. Either the Packers get their first road win over a good team (Cowboys and Bears weren’t and aren’t good) in his tenure and his team is showing growth towards being elite, or they lose and the question becomes “when will LaFleur win a big game on the road?” While that is what the story will be, what it SHOULD be is, “will Rodgers ever commit to doing what it takes to get everything he can out of this offense—and himself?” For all the angst about scheme, play calls, and pass catching talent (and those are all valid), Rodgers’ technique has become woefully sloppy of late. His throws are off-platform, he’s doing whatever he wants with his feet; it’s like after watching Favre for years and now Mahomes, he thinks to himself “I don’t need to sweat the technique, either.” Or maybe he’s getting lazy. Either way, he doesn’t have the playmakers to not be precise with his delivery. And now that he’s more reticent than ever to push the envelope and risk turnovers, the offense teeters on catastrophic failure half the time. Is it logical to imagine the coaches don’t know this? Is it logical to assume Rodgers doesn’t know it? And if they know and nothing changes, what does that say about the efficacy of their coaching and the mindset of Rodgers? THAT should be the story if the Packers lose. But it won’t be. And that’s a shame. Either way, let’s just hope they win. Winning fixes everything.
