2025 Green Bay Packers Thread

I think he means he gets why MLF shouldn't be fired. And I don't think he should.

Aaah. I thought he meant JBC.

I agree. I would not fire MLF. But, I think Gutey does need to sit him down this offseason and work on the leadership aspect of being a HC.

This is a very important off-season. Some vets need to go and the draft should be a bonanza (1st, two 2nds, two 3rds, two 4ths). More youth next year. The HC needs to establish a team wide culture - something that he hasn't done a lot of, IMO.

[Jockey]

Joe Barry should have been fired into the sun last year.  They're not firing him for the rest of year because the scheme would be the same and no one on the defensive side will likely be back next year.  Also, I don't disagree with you.  I think NOT firing Joe Barry sends a bad message to the players and the fans.

MLF is in charge of his coordinators, that isn't a Mark Murphy or Brian Gutekunst decision.  It's Matt's.  He needs to be smarter in the future because he isn't looking like a head coach or leader right now.

I agree with all of your post.

I think the optics of a head coaching change would be bad around the league, but I'm not opposed.

Outsider's view and all... But I think having 12 hanging over every decision, often changing plays, etc. has limited the amount of authority MLF has been able to enact. He was often too deferential to the quarterback and I'm not sure he's found his footing again. Which with such a young group makes me nervous.

Then there's the issue of hiring his buddies and not being quick enough to make a change when they suck as coordinators...

The only "buddy" I see remaining is Tom Clements, who I think has been instrumental to the growth of Jordan Love.

Chit can MLF and hire T-Cube's BIL, hey?

I think he meant MLF's buddies. I'm not sure how many of his hires have been objectively bad hires at the time, but he coached with them before other than Barry.

What drivel!

Every team presents a big challenge for GBs Special Teams.

[GB Warrior]

Panthers are into the 4th and have 26 net passing yards. Feels like that should be an indictment of something

And Devito is benched.

Defense has quit playing for JBC completely. Hopefully they clean house on the defensive side of the ball. Half the starters should be gone.

[GB Warrior]

Mason misses two huge kicks that would have let the Packers control (piss away) their own destiny.

Telling myself it's all worth it when Barry is banished to a Russian high rise.

Packers could finish last in the division. Finish third and the Jets come to town next year. 😬😬😬

1. Want them to win tonight. Make next week matter is good for them experience wise

2. But, if they lose, and end up in last, last place schedule next year is nice

[PointWarrior]

Panthers score zero today after scoring 30 on the Packers.   Hopefully little flower can fire his buddy JBC. 

[Herman Cain]

Packers need this win tonight . Otherwise the final game with Bears becomes the Toilet Bowl

[CreightonWarrior]

Remember that time Christian Watson was active for a game?

[PointWarrior]

Remember the last time Christian Watson actually started a game but pulled a hammy in the game? 

Porcelain doll...

Of course Crosby misses a FG for NYG that would have given the Packers control of their playoff destiny.

Thanks to the Steelers, I think we do now.

The Packers control their destiny.   Impressive for a team with a terrible coach, terrible defensive coordinator, terrible quarterback, and terrible players.

The DC is definitely terrible

[Herman Cain]

Reed is a fun player to watch. Excellent draft choice .

[Herman Cain]

That Vikings FG would have been good from 64

[Uncle Rico]

Old enough to remember people saying the kicker was the best player on the Packers.

[Herman Cain]

Beautiful Catch and run by Reed
