I realize we didn't feature Jacobs today but this team doesn't look like they want to play in cold weather. Going to Philly is not ideal for that reason alone.

On the TO before McManus' FG did MLF let the clock run down to 1 second? If not, that cost us the game!
I was wondering this as well and I don’t think he did. No decisiveness from LaFleur and I have seen it a lot from him where he doesn’t know what to do in certain moments and decisions. It’s inexcusable to me that you don’t know if you can make that lick or not from there.

The man has a history of being unprepared in moments that are sometimes pivotal. I don't get it either. Maybe this game is too big for LaCoach?

The prevent 3 man rush at the end of today's game made no effen freakin sense whatsoever. You're on the 50 with one play left before a potential kick, you're in the playoffs regardless, you're playing our "since 1921 rival" so there would have been no shame bringing 5, 6 or 7 on an all out blitz to finish this baby off. So what does the defense do? Puss out and rush 3. What kind of prissy team are we attempting to root for anyway?

We had one timeout left at end of game

Was Lafleur not interested in icing the kicker?

Dude was a sleep all game

I’m not down on Lafleur overall.

But I think today was the worst coach packers game ive ever seen from a HC perspective.

I’ve seen the STs not being able to coach. I’ve seen the DC not be able to coach.

I think that was the worst performance I’ve seen from a Packer HC.

You weren't around in the 80's then because compared to Starr and Gregg...ML is a genius. I can think of at least 20 other packer games that make this look like a reason to pop a cold one and dance in the cold.

You are right! I was born in early 90s and this was the worst job I’ve ever seen from the HC that I can recall.

Sure anyone can come out flat, but this was a bridge too far!

It sounds like the initial plan was to go for it on 4th down but MLF was convinced to let McManus give it a try instead. The timeout was called while MLF was still in “go for it” mode and is the reason he didn’t allow the clock to run down.

I blame Lafleur. He had a timeout. He should have seen that and immidietly used it. the formation alone was weird enough to call a TO and get resettled

I gotta ask... what's with all the whining and bitching? Green Bay is 11-6 in the playoffs. I think you all forget that Det, Chicago, and MN reloaded with high picks for a long time, two of those teams actually hired decent head coaches after 20 years of idiots.

Meanwhile, we kept winning consistently and got saddled by a certain QB and a certain OT with high cap numbers and some iffy draft picks by Gute. It's been one hell of a long successful ride. If our "down" year is 11-6 that's not much to complain about.

They had already called a timeout. Can’t call consecutive timeouts. This is how Chicago came out of that timeout.

It’s normal man. 3 weeks ago I declared this team could win the Super Bowl.

Now unless a miracle run happens, this team looks poised to not even go as far as last years team.

Let us whine!!

(I do not hate Matt Lafleur)

In the past every one is like “muh Lafleur never gets considered for coach of the year” “robbery!!” Etc

Il just say that Lafleur is a good coach but he is in his 6th season and every single season we get 2-4 complete stinkers, and most of those are directly related to him.

That’s why he’s never considered the best coach of the year in any single season.

Hard to argue with some of your facts/statements. However, do you not think today's game might have given some of us a pretty good reason to whine and bitch (I figure that's your way of saying expression our dissatisfaction)?
