2025 Green Bay Packers Thread

[MU82]

But at least top-5 WR Christian Watson turned in a huge day for the Pack.

[CreightonWarrior]

If fired, LaFleur will be unemployed for about 8 seconds. He probably would get one of the open head-coaching jobs. If not, he certainly will be an OC next season.

Unless he wants a paid vacation for a year. I don't know what's in his head.

good for him, that doesn't give him immunity in Green Bay.

I neither said nor implied either of those things.

39-10 years 1-3 with Rodgers having two MVP seasons. 

37-30-1 since. 

1 playoff win since 2020.  A choke job last night that is rightfully being judged historically. 

Thanks Roger Goodell for playoff expansion or else it would be a 4 year playoff drought. 

3-6 overall playoff record with a home championship game loss followed the next year by a one and done home loss as the #1 seed. 

See it's not very pretty when you take a little peek behind the curtain.  I love all the people who pay little more than superficial attention to the Packers giving us your own reality checks on the little flower. 

Good luck anyone who has to have him in the first 8 seconds he's unemployed God willing and watch his teams implode over and over again.  That's what he does. That's what his teams do.  Lack of poise and composure when things get tough.  Rodgers propped him up while he could still perform as an elite QB and it's been mediocre to lousy since.

I know what you're referring to here, but on a serious note, not having an actual NFL level no 1 receiver really hurt last night.  No go to receiver when you need plays.  They all just pop up occasionally with a play and disappear.  Doesn't at all excuse LaFleur being totally incapable of adjusting to what the Bears defense did after halftime.

Love threw for 323 with a rating over 100.

Jacob's averaged 2.9 yards a carry.

Hafley's D gave up 25 points in the 4th quarter.

Love was way down on the list if we're assigning blame.

This was sarcasm ha. Love is a star, down to the last drive.

The good thing is that, if he's fired, we'll actually get to see how long LaFleur sits unemployed (assuming he wants to coach in 2026). You might be right that all the GMs with HC or OC openings think he's a lost cause. We'll see!

I think two things can be true. It's time for the Packers to move on, and MLF would have no real issue finding another job. Probably as a head coach.

[MUBurrow]

If the Packers move on from LaFleur, they probably need to go outside the Shanahan connections for their next hires, right? That legitimately narrows the field a bit.

Brad Stevens fits the criteria. Or the Bears' OC Doyle is now old enough to drink, so maybe he'd fit?

I'm not disputing others in the league may hire him. I'm just really tired already of people acting with disbelief that there's a sentiment among our fan base to fire his incompetent butt.  I heard before and after this game the "wow, how can you think of firing LaFleur" comments from everywhere from national media to right here.  I do not understand why he's so respected and even more so after that 30 minute horror show he conducted last night.

I get it, but it's all a function of perspective and expectations. 20 NFL teams would take the Packers performance under MLF in a second. But on the other hand, many Eagles' fans want the reigning Super Bowl Champion Sirianni fired.

MLF is not an all time great (yet?) but he is above average and most of the country's fans have worse HCs than him, hence a popular opinion that the Packers would make a mistake by moving on. But popular opinions aren't always right.

[#UnleashMalik]

Are people still defending lafleur? Seems to be the same people who defended wojo for 7 years. 

[#UnleashMalik]

Brad stevens bringing basketball knowledge to the NFL. I can get behind this.

[CreightonWarrior]

The people defending LaFleur are probably the people that want to keep him there for his consistent epic choke jobs.

[MU82]

I am not "defending" LaFleur. I don't follow the Pack closely enough to know whether he is bad or good or mediocre. Given the passion of the GB fans here, it sounds like he really sucks, and I respect that.

But I do know that NFL coaches, especially those who have had even a modicum of success in the W/L column, get to coach again.

That's all I was saying, nothing more.

[tower912]

Gotta call Billy Donovan.

Now you are a LaFluer slurper?

I think this is a case in which you're both right.
After a lot of coming up small in big moments, a coaching reset in Green Bay is not a crazy idea. Just like in Baltimore or, had the kick been straight, in Pittsburgh. There's many examples of teams firing  coaches who've had success and coming out the better for it. The Bulls fired Doug Collins after he got them to the conference finals, and never regretted it. People thought Tampa was insane to fire Tony Dungy, until they won a Super Bowl 12 months later.

And I agree, if Lafleur gets fired, he could get snapped up quickly this cycle (back to Nashville?). Or he could sit out a year and perhaps have his pick of the litter in 2027.

[Jockey]

Winning 9 games, squeaking into the playoffs and losing early is all right for some people. I prefer better.

[MU82]

Now you are a LaFluer slurper?   

Looks like. If one doesn't scream, "So-and-so is the worst!" - or, if as in my case, one has no opinion at all - I guess it means one is a slurper.

TJ Otz or I'm out as a Packers fan.
