Fear is a torn ACL for Kraft. This bums me out. Only player I really trusted being consistent enough for Love.

Going to really need to establish the run

Or maybe they're really f'd now.  He's their best receiver and it's not even close.

I've never felt an ounce of enthusiasm about their chances anyway.  Their coach is a fraud which is why mistake filled upset losses have become common under him. He's a bad coach. 

[HutchwasClutch]

Manhandled on both sides of the ball - at home - against a terrible team.

Not surprising when your coach is a fraud

He's a top half of the NFL coach. Just not good enough and it's time to move on.

Not sure how the Pack could win, what with the big-money Panthers hoarding all the high-priced pitchers.

Nice

[The Sultan]

Yeah it's pretty hard to call a guy with his record "bad" and a "fraud." I don't think he does enough to hold a team to a certain standard, which is why they always seem to play down to their opponents. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them beat the Eagles for instance. His in-game situational calling is also questionable. He's probably best as a OC or HC with a more veteran team.

I do think that if they flame out like last year that he is gone. And maybe Gutey as well. The Micah trade was a "win now" moment, and with a new president in place and no contract extensions given, I think it was a clear indication that improvement is required.

[HutchwasClutch]

This aged well.

It's also why I'm not a betting man.

Well done, Packers!

It's not your fault though. You don't follow the Packers closely enough.  And then people that for some reason get paid for what passes as analysis and knowledge of the league try to fill our heads that LaFleur's a good coach, that he's some offensive guru from the McKay tree. It's lazy and superficial analysis and ignores games like today that continually pop up again.

McKay died in 2001.

He's from the John McKay tree? I thought he was much younger than that.

Not even close

I think you're underestimating how many bad coaches there are. Coen, Taylor, Daboll, Callahan, Morris, Glenn, Mcdaniel off the top of my head.

MLF is 70-38 and has only one losing season. If he gets fired he'd get hired immediately. His scheme is largely good. His playcalling and clock management are maddening. O line play has generally been really good, but they are way too penalized.
But this year feels like the worst coaching of his career and he is probably the worst coach in the division which is a big problem.

I'm in favor of letting him go. I think they need a new voice. But he has the 7th best winning percentage of all time of coaches with a minimum of 100 games. He's a solid, not great coach.

[MU82]

Jameel.

[Jockey]

He was outstanding as the OC on those early TB teams.

[CreightonWarrior]

Every bills win over the chiefs becomes less impressive when they can't beat them in the playoffs.

[forgetful]

If #2 is correct, then he simply shouldn't be kicking. Stick him on IR or something.

I agree. After him going 2-4 against Pittsburgh and still having issues, I was surprised to see him active today.

[Pakuni]

The Raiders are cursed.

It's like salary caps and revenue sharing allow everyone a shot at competing!

[BM1090]

One of the misses in Pittsburgh was 57 yards on a terrible field. One miss was blocked. The other three are less explainable, but he's always been a solid to good kicker. I think he'll be fine.

[PointWarrior]

Wake me up when the Seahawks beat a team with a pulse.

Commanders secondary hates covering nearly as much as the Bengals'.

I just don't think he's healthy yet. He's a good kicker.

Well, every opponent can't be Super Bowl contenders like Cleveland and Carolina are.

Also, the Seahawks haven't found a mediocre opponent to tie yet.

Go Packers!
