What do you think of Packer's head coach Matt LaFleur?

LaFleur has one year remaining on his current contract, leaving his future in Green Bay uncertain after Packers president Ed Policy said last June that he would prefer not to have a lame-duck coach. LaFleur's status became even shakier after the Packers squandered an 18-point lead in Saturday night's 31-27 loss to the rival Bears in the NFC wild-card round.

The Packers completely incompetent time management at the end of the game cost them. I was watching with my Dad and we were wondering if Green Bay was purposely trying to ensure that Chicago had enough time to come back. I've seldom seen such terrible time management in the NFL.

It's not like the Packers have been racking up the wins or anything with LaFleur at the helm.

The Packers have gone 76-40-1 in the regular season under LaFleur and have made the playoffs in six of his seven seasons. But they have not reached the Super Bowl and have not been to a conference championship game since the 2020 season, the second of back-to-back appearances in LaFleur's first two years.

They originally brought him on in 2019- partly to appease Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was very critical of Mike McCarthy, and in the end he was critical of LaFleur. Packers had some great players - but it never translated to a title. At least we got a SuperBowl win under Mike McCarthy.

I don't call LaFleur's win/loss record "a lot" of wins. 9-8-1 is barely .500 this year. I don't see him as being very successful as a head coach. He's not unsuccessful either, just midling and average as his record suggests. As Bill Belichick found out, the NFL is a "what have you done lately" league.

I'm sorry, I forgot to add, FUCK A'A RON RODGERS, my bad. May he retire soon and end my suffering of having to see his dumb ass still in the league.

Your perspective is definitely skewed...

Everyone loves to hate on Rodgers, and I understand it. But he is still a great athlete and he's very intelligent about football. He just needs to STFU about everything else. I think he'd be a great head coach.
