The easy way out is to not renew his contract. That may be exactly what happens.Look on the bright side: Our defensive coordinator is on a contract year.

We all should be pleased with the WRs Gute has found the past couple of drafts too.I agree. However I think Gutey is darn good at talent evaluation. We now know he wasn’t crazy with his most prominent selection… Jordan Love.
He’s done much better than an average GM bringing talent in, especially through trades, Free Agency, Waiver wire etc
Although we need to go back to the Well ready and use FA on a moderate level Veterans. Go grab 2 veteran player upgrades at minimum.
I agree. DEFENSE wins championships. Many a time when we would put up a lot of points and still lost Rodgers would say that as an offense we left a lot of points out there. And when we opened the 2019 season with a 10-3 win over the Bears he was thrilled because he had not seen defense like that in GB in a LONG time. Like 9 years.I vote for improved defense. We've had the opposite of that during the Rodgers era with many GB teams capable of putting up 35-40 points a game and they often did. During all those years we got one SB way back in 2011and then its been a dry spell since.
I feel Love has a lot of potential. If he continues to grow and improve he could be a good one.
When Rodgers took over QB duties full time his first year he had guys to throw to like Donald driver a 9 yr veteran and Greg Jennings a 3 yr guy.
Love is starting out with guys with much less experience.
Rodgers first year stats were
Yds-4038, TD-28, INT-13, Comp % 63.6.
Currently Love is
Yds-3368, TD-25, INT-11, Comp% 62.6.
Right now Love is capable of getting us 20-30 pts a game.
We need a DEFENSE!!!!!..please
For many years when we faced defenses like that QBs such as Rodgers, Favre, and even going back to Bart Starr would exploit that. And the opposition would just shake their head. It is definitely both a scheming blunder and coverage confusion. Corners must cover and safeties must be the QB of the defense.Studs - Enagbare's incredible strip sack. Best individual defensive play I've seen this year. Jones running. Wicks. Kraft. Early offensive line run blocking was terrific.
Duds - Coaches all around. LaFleur not running anything outside to get Britt moving sideline to sideline. I can't believe how badly out-coached we looked in the 2nd half. Letting Mayfield stand in the middle of the pocket untouched most of the 2nd half. No one on this team can apply pressure or collapse middle of pocket? Wth???
When our kicker makes an extra point mine acts like we just won in sudden death OT. When Carolina kicked the game winner for the 9-7 victory the players and fans were as thrilled as if they got the Lombardi trophy.Yeah. .. ain't that the truth. I've got a red hot poker up my butt about THIS loss. ...and I'm now leaning toward "indifferent" on this team. That my friends is a rarity - my wife even noticed it and she doesn't know a goal line from a clothes line.
Let's hope so..Lafleur is pretty adamant that it's players..not joes garbage defense. Could be just smoke, why pay joe for the rest of the season to be unemployed. Maybe it's a revenge plot..you embarrassed me, I'm going to act like your good..then not resign him.The easy way out is to not renew his contract. That may be exactly what happens.
If he is not “special” and not “bad” or below average … then “ordinary” would be a very appropriate word…Special I would say he isnt
You said ordinary...big difference
Hurts? What was his play like his 1st 2 years? Hint..worse than Love
He 1st said ordinary then he said special.If he is not “special” and not “bad” or below average … then “ordinary” would be a very appropriate word…
I always considered Baker especially ordinary as a QB.He 1st said ordinary then he said special.
Well, to be fair, nobody can make Dan Campbell use his punter.Tampa punted once today. Let that sink in. At some point, the defense needs to make the opposition use their punter.
Keep your chin up. In the short term things look dismal. However we’ve got some changes coming. This year was expected to be a major step back the moment Rodgers was traded. However I see these positives on the near horizon.Yeah. .. ain't that the truth. I've got a red hot poker up my butt about THIS loss. ...and I'm now leaning toward "indifferent" on this team.

When he came to Lambeau in 2021 he made mistakes but had a good running game with the Browns. We won that game.I always considered Baker especially ordinary as a QB.
Unfortunately I expect it to take half a season for the new defensive game plan to gel. This past season with a retooled offense would have been the time for that, not when the offense is on the runway. Otherwise expect a 2009 type season with an explosive offense and a sieve defense for half of it.1. Defensive changes are coming. Along with a new staff comes a renewed focus on making sure that hire makes improvements. The best way to do that is apply resources to that area. I fully expect a good FA veteran to be added. I also wouldn’t doubt if we see a top 10 area Defensive player drafted, or 2-3 guys in Day 2.

3. A fresh look
A new DC would bring a renewed sense of inspiration to put the past behind us. We know what we’ve got, it would be unlikely to get worse imo. As the Offense matures, it will also inspire the D to partake in their success. Also going +1 or +2 in the CB with Stokes and Alexander is a big deal. We’ve played with our bench most of this year. We won’t be anywhere close to that next season.
Unless we draft well and there is always a player or two in FA that can improve results.Unfortunately I expect it to take half a season for the new defensive game plan to gel.

It just takes time for a new scheme to dwell unless we promote from within.Unless we draft well and there is always a player or two in FA that can improve results.
It may take time to jell but just not playing so far off on obvious passing downs and substituting some players so as not to have Preston and Campbell in coverage and watching speedsters would help right away. Can't really be much worse.Unfortunately I expect it to take half a season for the new defensive game plan to gel.

I thought that was his forte at least before his injuries and age.Campbell in coverage
Really?Nuthin’ special about Mayfield. Special QB’s include Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Tagovailoa, C.J. Stroud and Brock Purdue.
Mayfield's the guy that put up that perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field last month, the only opposing QB to ever do it.Really?
How did he play last few weeks.
Mayfield looked pretty good yesterday. He also hit Evans on a couple long bombs that Evans just flat out dropped. He hit Otton on one right down the seam that he dropped for a big gainer too. It should have been a bigger blowout. Thems the breaks though.Mayfield's the guy that put up that perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field last month, the only opposing QB to ever do it.
I've always kind of liked Mayfield for whatever reason. I hate the Bucs though.Could it be that Mayfield is actually pretty good?\
If the Packers can get past the Niners, I totally agree that the Buccaneers are a tougher foe than going back to Ford Field and beating the Lions. Evans and Godwin are really good and torch the Packers.Mayfield looked pretty good yesterday. He also hit Evans on a couple long bombs that Evans just flat out dropped.

Could it be that Mayfield is actually pretty good? 22-36, 337 yards passing, with 3 TDs. Could it be he is in the right place with several really good skill set players? Rachaad White ran hard. Otton had 8 catches and 89 yards. Godwin and Evans combined for 7 catches, 93 yards and a TD. I don't think I would want to face this team again gentlemen. Match that with their defense. They are a tough beat.
I'm rooting for the Lions if we beat the 49ers. I want to complete the Superfecta.If the Packers can get past the Niners, I totally agree that the Buccaneers are a tougher foe than going back to Ford Field and beating the Lions. Evans and Godwin are really good and torch the Packers.
If you want total bliss, go to Daily Norseman and read the fan blog during and after a Vikings loss! I know it's schadenfreude but I can't help myself.I'm rooting for the Lions if we beat the 49ers. I want to complete the Superfecta.
Dallas, Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit. It would drive all their fans crazy. I'd be spending more time on their fan boards than ours.
