  1. 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.
  2. It’s pretty clear that Johnson doesn’t respect LaFleur, and LaFleur certainly hasn’t done anything to command either his respect or respect from the rest of the division. I’m not really sure around the league that anyone outside of the Sean McVay coaching tree respects LaFleur much.
  3. Not really related to any of this, but I also think it really bothers him that Ben Johnson doesn’t want to be his buddy. I think if it were up to Matt, they’d attend sporting events together like him and Eberflus did. Matt should actually have the same attitude: “you suck, I don’t like you, and I’m going to beat you.” But he’s soft, and his team is always a reflection of that.
  4. Here’s the kicker: Policy had an out last year with the easy excuse and lame duck status, but extended Matt anyway. I don’t know if the terms were ever disclosed, but say 3 years and 45 million would be on the low end of years and average end of dollars for an extended veteran HC. Since those contracts are fully guaranteed, now he’s stuck. If it were a new HC, I think folks would be more understanding that you can’t just turn everything over one year after installing a new system. But now if MLF is a (predictable) disaster, Policy either has to wait it out as long as possible, or cut bait quickly and then explain to shareholders why he donated $45 million dollars to the Matt LaFleur fund for no reason at all.
  5. It doesn’t really even help his “gameplanning guru” narrative when Donavan Jennings takes 0 snaps with the first unit in preseason and he gets killed when Matt deploys him as a starting guard, I mean he is constantly making awful decisions like this with his units.
  6. I like to put it in terms of the military. LaFleur is that lieutenant platoon leader that can come up with a good tactical game plan that covers terrain, routes, squad assignments, etc. Then he will lead you into battle, freeze up, and get you killed.
  7. I’m just wondering if, after seeing Game 1, if you still believe Matt LaFleur is an above average head coach and 11 wins is on the horizon.
  8. Case in point, punting on 4th and 3 from midfield in the 2nd quarter. An ultra conservative move in today’s NFL. But in the 4th quarter with a chance to be up 8, taking the points off the board to risk a 4th down because “we’re always going to be aggressive.” No you’re not. You’re not Ben Johnson, and you’re not Dan Campbell. There’s no method or rhyme or reason. It’s just whatever the magic 8 ball in Matt’s head is telling him at that particular moment.
  9. I thought it was pretty telling when they asked him after the game what the analytics would say about that 4th down call and he said he had no idea and that it wouldn’t be a factor for him. It’s pretty clear he has no real decision making process in the 4th quarter other than going with whatever his gut says at any particular time, which is usually wrong judging by the 90-15 score that his team has been outscored by after the 3rd quarter in his last 6 games,
  10. I can’t even root for a tank because we don’t even own our own 1st Though maybe that’s no loss, Gute would draft some athletic freak with a good RAS at #8 that was projected to go late 1st and we’d redshirt him his first season before finally working him into the rotation in his second season and expect contributions by the third.
  11. When I watch the Brewers, I get emotional and armchair GM but I know in the back of my head that the guys running that organization do a way better job than I could ever do and they usually end up being right. It’s a really, really bad sign for the leadership of the current Green Bay Packers on how much the hoards of armchair GM’s are actually correct.
  12. Not to let him off the hook, Gute is an overrated GM — and his failures start and stop with the offensive line. He invested a lot in his franchise quarterback. — a 1st round pick, 3 years of holding a clipboard and a whole lot of money. That’s fine and all, but he has done a very poor job of protecting that investment. The CB room is usually pretty much patchwork and he doesn’t get nearly enough out of his day 1 picks. There was absolutely no contingency this season for a Josh Jacobs suspension. It’s just a mess of an underskilled committee. He’s done a nice job finding JL some targets to throw to. Other than that there’s a whole lot of failure for the guy solely responsible for your personnel.
  13. Also, they have lost 9 games in a row without Parsons dating back to the 3 they lost before they acquired him.
  14. The Packers have been outscored 90-15 after the 3rd quarter in their last 6 games.
  15. Super reassuring in the modern NFL where analytics dominates to hear our head coach acknowledge that it doesn’t factor in for him at all.
  16. I’ll save you the trouble of going back and watching the postgame interview and give you the most notable quotes: ”We didn’t answer” ”It’s all of us” ”We gotta play cleaner” ”We’re going to be aggressive” ”I don’t even know about analytics” ”That doesn’t even factor in”
  17. Too bad Matt did a better job of defending a woman beater this week than he did preparing his team.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Both of you Matt LaFleur apologists left on this board, where you at?
  22. He has no answers when the team faces adversity. Never has. Great at flashing a big toothy silver fox smile for the ladies when things are going well.
  23. LOL! From “should be running away with this” to “getting steamrolled by 17.”
  24. Just another meltdown by the biggest beta male in professional sports.
