I just logged into this thread, and from a lot of the comments, seems the Packers will be lucky to win 3 games this season.I watched a quarter and fell asleep. Long day working in the humidity. -- and tried to watch... Pack gave me no motivation to do so.
On the 8th day, God created "We'll get 'em next week".
More than the performance of the squad that is concerning is the physical health of the roster. One week into preseason and the injury report sounds like WK 8 in the regular schedule.
Monk seems to lack the footwork to maintain good body position. Players in the NFL have more dynamic moves than those they see at most levels in college. Monk gets caught off balance, or unable to turn to meet attacks so he resorts to looping an arm outside the defender to try to draw them in which pretty much always draws a holding call.
Nah! Nothing to get excited about. They played a horrible game and did not look prepared. When you play as bad as they did it gives the coaches a lot of teaching opportunities and that can work in their favor. It gets any chips they have on their shoulders off.
Agreed. When you watch his clips from college it looks like he's going to be a solid interior lineman. One of the things that often bothers me about the clips is that they rarely show those where a guy doesn't do well or completely looks like a fish out of water. We need to see more of them to make better evaluations.
i think it sets a terrible example of not finishing. You walk the walk. You cant ask a player to finish properly and then set an example of how you don’t finish. I don’t care if we go 0-4 to finish. We don’t quit 22 feet from the Top of K1 because we “knew we could do it” and it’s just a practice climb for Mount Everest. It’s a terrible example in a game where the crowd had to endure that imo. I genuinely felt bad for our fans I almost went to that S show and I’m glad I similarly didn’t make the effort. I like to at least try to finish a game we’re losing.
and that my friend is where we disagree on coaching style or management style. Finish the game unless you’re up 3 scores. Stop quitting with 10 minutes left to quit time at work. Winners don’t quit even if it looks like we’re destined to lose. I’d rather work with the employee that stays 10 minutes late looking for how to better themselves and I’ve been known to stay late with them. Especially on a tough day. That would be unacceptable for Vince Lombardi and I’d agree with him. Those little things are important.
From a post in this forum by Packerlifer almost exactly nine years ago,
Well he apparently saved the juice for when it mattered
Right now, I'll settle for just one in a row!Well he apparently saved the juice for when it mattered
I’ll tell you what.. IF LaFleur wins 3 Championships in a row, I’ll let him off the hook.
Didn't one of your insiders say his first year that he was making a really good impression in his first camp, and they all had high hopes for his future?

I wonder what the heck happened....
Yes. on that part, I’m hoping it was just opening Day Jitters. Their 45% catch % was tough. Although there’s a lot of switching in and out. It’s mean we played 4 QB’s. Hard to get any real semblance of consistency when a new QB comes in every 5 tosses
When that happens I wonder about the line coach. There must be more than one. Put him with a different coach maybe. No doubt in my mind that SOMETIMES the coach can ruin a player
Rare here - we have one of the better OL coaches
