  6. VERY disappointed in Ed Policy! Ed was NEVER going to make a change, and based on this, I don’t understand why Ed didn’t just give him the extension last summer? Please explain that one to me???? Pretty obvious Ed Policy is as big of a soft whimp as Matt and his team are!!!!!

  9. another wasted 4 yrs coming up, boys and girls. Then, they hire another guy and that'll take 2-3 yrs (minimum). Now we're looking at 6-7 yrs of disappointment. BEAUTIFUL.

  24. I respectfully and politely disagree with all of the fire LaFleur etc POV. Not that I don't think he has things to learn or change like everyone, but based on the context of the whole, his regular season record, how many years he took GB to the playoffs, development of Love and going from a Aging HOF QB transitioning to a new QB going to the playoffs 3 years in a row after are why he would have been in high demand if available to the 8 head coach openings and instantly hired elsewhere getting his choice of multiple teams. While Injuries and other things are factors for this years playoffs, LaFleur should be accountable for his playoff record that needs to be solved……. but firing a HC many other teams would hire instantly is throwing out the baby with the bathwater instead of working to solve an area of concern. Look how throwing out the Baby with the bathwater worked out for Minnesota, who essentially fired their 2024 14 win QB Sam Darnold of last year, because they thought he wasn't good enough in playoff games, so instead of working on their area of concern, they let him go only to watch him win 14 games again this year for the #1 seed with Seattle and beat the 49ers in their playoff game tonight handily advancing to the NFC championship proving he was a much much better QB than any on the Minnesota team this year as they wasted a year of Jefferson, Addison and a playoff roster on both Sides of the ball that was only missing a QB…… but, but, John Harbough you say? Good coach no doubt, who hasn't won a Super Bowl for more than a decade, and now signed with NY for 100 Million for 5 years and doesn't have to answer to the GM who is not in charge of him, but he answers to the owner directly, and more importantly John would not fire his OC Todd Monken in Baltimore who he is bringing with him to NY,…. So Harbough in GB would be to force Love a top 5 QB who is excellent in the LaFleur/Shannahan/McVay offense to learn a different offense means another couple of years at best to win deep in playoffs at best and most likely would have been malpractice to force him to change from an offense he is a top QB in that nearly had 3 teams running it in the playoffs NFC this year proving its success. So Throwing out the baby with the bathwater instead of fixing one important issue when the rest of it is solidly there is almost always a mistake.

  27. Gutey’s personnel decisions are overall less than average. 5 of 10 first round picks are busts. Banks, Gary and Hobbs signings have wasted tens of millions. Love is the only decent one. Special teams continues to be a clown show. Drafting Anders Carlson (with horrible college stats) and sticking with him cost us a shot at the NFC championship game. We shill haven’t found a kicker. The state of our OL, DL, cornerbacks and Special Teams isn’t good and it’s all Gutey.

  28. Thank god this brsintrust isn't in charge. We'd have a knew coach after every game.
    Injuries and youth aren' Matts fault.
    Let him and Gutey finish the job.
    Go Rams😅

  30. These media people are so far the avg. Packer fan. They like guy personally so they support a loser head coach no matter what. Any honest evaluation would have the packers trading this weak loser to another team. Just the last game performance is enough to have him fired. This Ed Policy clown is just a son of another football front office clown. Nepo baby running the show. The Packers are destined to be losers again and again. Sad to see a weak head coach in Green Bay. Where is a Vince or Homlgren when you need one.

    The bears just pushed you around and you did nothing!!!!!!! Ed policy……..joke.

  31. Matt Lefluer is a weak man being pushed around by the bears. Of course his players love him. He never holds anyone accountable. He just rewarded for losing. Great going Ed Policy. the NFL just sucks

  33. "LaFleur has a 76-40-1 regular-season record as the Packers' coach, the fourth-highest winning percentage (.654) among all active NFL head coaches, and his 76 wins tied for second most in NFL history by a coach in his first seven seasons." I'd say that makes him worth keeping. Who of the available blokes would be better? Teams like the Jets would love a record like this.
