MLF is very slow to change. He kept Joe Barry way too long (well' shouldn't have hired hi in the first place) and Bisaccia just never got a grip on STs.

If Policy is gonna whack MLF, it will be soon. MLF's is time is up IMO. The HC job in GB would be the mostb sought-after in the NFL, meaning the Packers can get whoever they want.

If/when MLF is gone, does anyone have any HC candidates? I'm thinking Hafley.
Like a lot of people I would like a chance for Harbaugh. Dude is a proven winner. I know it’s a looooong shot but I wonder what Gruden would be like. There’s a guy that will light a fire under this team.

Well LaFleur absolutely crashed and burned down the stretch, so maybe that will be his ticket out of here
Enough is enough , 5 losses in a row and a big lead at half time and losses , hopefully Policy sees that MLF time at GB is up, he is really going south with the Packers lately

I don't have a problem with Love. He is the least of our issues. He is not elite but we can win with him.

I would put Love closer to elite than average. I also think we saw what Jordan Love is capable of doing behind a good offensive line in the first half last night. Imagine what he could do had the run blocking been there too.

So I 100% agree with you, Love isn't a problem. The Packers will need to put a lot of emphasis on the OL in the offseason.

Thankfully MLF doesn't have to be fired since he's no longer under contract, we just better NOT extend him. I don't want to see MLF ever on our sidelines again, it's been 7 seasons of this and to end it on 5 game losing streak is a very low note. Some were confused by the hire and it's bit us really hard now, no other team would find this acceptable and neither should we.
I thought his contract is up after next season...?

If all possible get Harbaugh , proven winner and Packers need him, Love needs a better direction and I think MLF has lost this team with all his ups and downs
No team can feel excited about playing when the have no guidance , MLF your time is up
We need a coach like the Bears coach no nonsense, winner
the Bears coach had his fired up, have never seen that from MLF

One thing that’s problematic to me is that it feels like Matt tends to call his games (and in general set up his offense) in such a way that doesn’t really maximize Love’s abilities. Many will point out how good Willis looks and honestly you probably COULD make a case that he’s a better fit for LaFleur’s offense. But you just can’t have a situation where your coach is choosing to coach in a way that isn’t maximizing your most valuable asset. Either LaFleur doesn’t trust Love or he doesn’t recognize that he’s failing to play to his strengths and neither is ideal

And if the defense doesn’t give up 25 freaking points in the 4th quarter….

Get your head out of the sand.
Because the offense couldn't do squat in the second half save that one TD by Golden and Cooper getting hurt it should be no surprise the defense began to sputter in the 4rh quarter.

Facts: GB 5 drives starting with the last one of the 2nd quarter and going into first drive of the 4th quarter. 20 plays, 36 yds and 0 points. That does not win football games and left the D on the field for 31 Bears plays for 191 yds. and 13 points during the same period putting the Bears in position to win. Offense did not do their job, Love did not do his job, Coach staff did not do their job, overall an extremely poor showing for the offense at clutch time.

That seems to be an error on my part, so just can his a**, he hasn't accomplished enough and it definitely looks like it's getting worse. I can't see enough positivity in the future. Enough of playing around it, rip the bandaid off

Seriously, bro? The first kick, he got a do-over after missing the first one when the Bears called a late time out. AND THEN MISSED AGAIN IN THE SAME PLACE! He missed a PAT wide left AGAIN! Then missed ANOTHER VERY MAKEABLE FG! That's 7 points he cost us, and we lost by 4. ALL OF WHICH, are the reason we lost. SEVEN POINTS ON MISSED KICKS!

But, to be fair, he had help. MLF is a poor coach, failing to inspire and discipline his team. AND, the refs irritated me last night. Love got smashed in the head on a critical play, but no call, and Musgrave was shoved so hard in the end zone, he literally fell on his butt. That was PI in the end zone, which means 1st and goal from the one. But no call! Inexplicable and inexcusable!

But make no mistake. Any two of the kicks made and it changes the game. McManus was a liability, and cost us the game.
On that second kick after the time out the snap was poor and messed up the timing.

Someone else used that excuse for the missed PAT! Here's what I know. He's well paid to make kicks. He did not make kicks. 7 points we desperately needed, were lost. But as I said, he had plenty of help losing the game.

This game was unsettling, to say the least, but honestly, even had we won, I think winning this game was our "ceiling" if you will. We simply can't seem to string together two halves of good football, under MLF! It's frustrating , to say the least.
I agree although I do think if we played the way we played the first half this team could have beaten anyone. The ravens and maybe the broncos and eagles beat us, we lost the other games if that makes sense lol. Something absolutely has to change

I agree with you. I think nearly, if not, every receiver dropped a very catchable pass from Love yesterday. And I believe Love has the ability to be an elite QB. But ability does not always translate to accomplishments.

Favre, Rodgers, Stafford, even Williams, seem to have an ability to WILL THEMSELVES, and their team to victory. Love somehow seems to lack that!

Yes he is but it takes 3 people to execute a FG. If one of them screws up the kick is missed.

I get it, but im not buying it for 3 kicks missed in one game! At some point, you HAVE to acknowledge the kicker missed when he should have made it. But even at that, we're back to MLF ensuring discipline and execution.

Anyone know why Trevon Diggs only played 1 snap last night?

Basically, $500K for 1 snap in a meaningful game and 33 snaps against the Vikings in an meaningless game. Did the Packers pay the $500K to own a meaningless contract, in the hopes that Diggs would sign a new one at a reasonable price? I hope so, because the Packers need better players and depth at CB.

I'm gonna throw out Curt Cignetti's name just because.

I highly doubt Cignetti would leave IU. He signed an 8 year $93M contract extension in October and claims "He will retire as a Hoosier."

Could Cignetti leave? Sure. Will he? Not sure why he would leave a situation that has him at the top, to take over a team, where his future is really unknown. It would take a semi-truck load of guaranteed millions for him to do so, along with a team that is already ready to win. Now if we were talking about him leaving IU to become say the Ohio State Head coach, sure, that seems more logical as a possibility. Quite a few successful college coaches have flopped in the NFL, I doubt Cignetti would take the risk to become the next one.
