Matt LaFleur identifies Packers’ biggest problem after loss to Vikings
December 31, 2024
The Packers' pass rush was MIA. If they want to go farther than one and done in the playoffs, they'd better find it.

LVN is always MIA
I could count 4-5 seconds every drop back for Darnold – it was fucking painful
Rashad has not been the same since the injury.
Damn spell check…. Rashan has not been the same since

‘Member when we passed on TJ Watt for Kevin King and Vince Biegel….
…I think about that weekly when our pass rush doesn’t show up

Pass rush was bad, secondary wasn’t great, dropped passes was a problem
Pass rush has been absent all year long.
The whole game strategy
Every year there’s a big glaring weakness that burns the Packers in the playoffs and every year it doesn’t get addressed at the trade deadline.
Game script Matt – get our franchise quarterback in rhythm in the 1st quarter.
Love Jacobs, obviously our run game is elite – but you can’t go from the first drive script to having Jordan take 3 deep shots before we punt on the second drive.
The offense is pretty impressive, but the pre-snap penalties are inexcusable! The line has played together for the whole year; the illegal formation penalties kill some nice drives.
Just a comparison between Nick Perry and Rashan Gary career stats; 80 games 32 sacks vs 89 games 38 sacks. Before that 5 game stretch Gary had recently they have the same production.
We paid him, now Gary has to be better.
If Garrett or Crosby is available this offseason. We need to go in and trade for one of them
Our biggest problem is that we’re just not showing up for the full game against good teams. We’re trying to win in a single quarter way too many weeks. Both sides of the ball need to show up for the full game.
He needs to start looking in the mirror. He’s not blameless. We’ve had a lot of silly penalties all year. And he gets carried away with Love. He should be calling plays like he has Willis at QB every week. Lean on that running game. Warm Love up a little. Don’t throw two deep balls and a long pass, go three and out, and become more predictable.
Idk how anyone defends Gary at this point. Bust.
For all that stupud “Bane Gary” bullshit….all those dumbass self promo hype videos…that guy has gone fucking extinct. Weird that it happened after he got paid.
If one of Crosby or Myles Garrett becomes available in the offseason then do whatever it takes to get them, even if you have to trade away Gary and LVN.
I’d rather them burn the room and start over again with an elite edge rusher + a free agency signing or draft pick along with Cox, Enagbare, Karl Brooks than watch Gary and LVN get stonewalled every game vs. a good offensive line or simply struggle to finish their plays with a sack.
Need to post bail for KGB & throw him a jersey.
Need a speed rusher. Gary and LVN are power rushers. Cox is quick but was an UDFA. Need someone like Kayvon Thibodeaux. Also, Jaire needs to get healthy. Stokes has been playing well lately and he’d be even better as the 2. Coverage and pass rush need to help each other out. Should draft one of each CB and EDGE and sign one of each in FA if there are solid fits.
