[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1092346, member: 7261"] I tend to think that at times, it is more of a disconnect between MLF and his offense on game days. I will keep saying this, but I just don't think MLF is a consistently good play caller. His weakness show in a number of ways. 1. Getting play in quickly. Too often we see Love and the offense break the huddle and the play clock is dangerously low. This doesn't afford Love enough time at the LOS to look at the defense and make appropriate changes. It gets so bad that the Packers burn timeouts, just to avoid a 5 yard delay of game call. 2. Making appropriate adjustments during the game. I just don't get the sense that during the course of the game, MLF makes adjustments based off of what is and isn't working that day. How many failed runs up the middle on short yardage does he need to run to realize, it just isn't there? 3. I call this one the "Rodgers Effect". I really think Rodgers would tick MLF off when he would audible out of plays that MLF called, especially if it was happening too often in a game. Once Rodgers was gone MLF instilled into Love that it was Matt that was running the show and to stick to his called plays. 3 seasons in as the starter and while Jordan is probably audibling moree, I get the sense that it isn't as often as it should be. Also, as I said in point 1, does he even get the time to do it in many situations? 4. Not good at playing with a lead. No killer instinct with MLF. When your defense isn't playing that well, you can't take your foot off the accelerator. Trying to be cute and just run as much clock off as you can and then punt the ball, isn't how you win games against good teams. 5. "Deer in The Headlights". I just don't see MLF as a good play caller under pressure. Too many bad play calls, timeouts and again....situation #1 happening. 6. Bad Hiring Decisions (see Rich Bisaccia). Besides Hafley, I just don't see that impressive of hires by MLF. The easy solution for the Packers to fix most of this would have been to only extend MLF if he had agreed to hire an OC and let them call all the plays. I don't see MLF ever agreeing to that, so here we are. [/QUOTE]
