I was extremely disappointed in the offensive line. Jordan Morgan has to be better. I know we had some injuries, but still. And all the holding and pass interference was not a good look either. What do you think MLF will do about these deficiencies?

I learned a long time ago the most succinct job description for a coach is to teach and demand. The staff has plenty to teach and more to demand. Losses like these are team-wide failures. Nobody, player or coach, gets to raise his hand and say, “I was good enough” after a loss like that.

As my father used to say: “They were reading their own press clippings.” What say you?

I disagree. As LaFleur said after the game, if this team was all high and mighty on itself, how does the defense come out and completely shut down an opponent like that? The Browns were anemic offensively, at best. The Packers gave the game away. The offense was sloppy and the special teams had more breakdowns. We saw a lot of that the first two games, and they were called out. Not enough to lose, but enough to be noticed. Now it cost them. What are they going to do about it? That’s the real question.

Seemed like Love’s terrible decision making opened the door and our decade-plus of terrible special-teams play sealed our fate against the Browns. As all Packers fans know, special-teams play is critical in big games and this team just continues to fail in that area. Any reason to think they can turn it around this year when the games get big?

They don’t have a choice if they want to be playing in big games. This one shouldn’t have come down to those field goals. We all know that. But many will and the third phase has to do its part or not much of the rest will matter. They executed several clutch kicks last year. They can do so again.

What breakdown of protection happened on the blocked field goal?

Penetration on the interior. Shelby Harris blocked it for the sixth blocked field goal of his career.

After all the hype this week about how good the Packers are I was surprised to see them collapse in the last four minutes of the game. I would have never thought Josh Jacobs would be held to under two yards a carry. Do you see the run game getting better next week in Dallas?

Yes. The Browns are a legit defense, especially against the run, which sets up that pass rush. We said it all week. The Packers are really good against the run, too, but they let two runs slip out and it cost them a field goal. Wasn’t the end of the world. When the Browns knew the Packers were going to run, it got even tougher and the offense didn’t have enough answers.

How does Matthew Golden run out of bounds on that 30-plus-yard reception? Looks like he had time to plant his right foot and change direction to continue the play. It looked like he had room. I am sure that is something WRs work on all the time.

I’m not sure. I can only surmise he didn’t realize the room he had. Regardless, I thought that play to get out of the field-position hole was the one we’d be talking about after a win. It was huge. But the Packers couldn’t build on it, following with three-and-out when they couldn’t connect on simple checkdowns just to keep the clock moving. So many regrets.

The Packers need to actually fix their self-defeating issues versus using trite expressions in postgame interviews. These mistakes are happening far too often for there not to be a systematic issue somewhere with the players, coaches, or game plans. How is this team going to fix this?

I don’t know, Margo. I mean, Mark. They can’t fix it in their postgame comments either. How they fix it is everything we don’t see in practice. Then we see when the lights go on if there’s progress. That’s all we can do.

Not a question, but last year’s Super Bowl champion started 2-2 that included a loss to the Falcons. It’s a long season. Little wake-up call is good, but also good to keep things in perspective.

Be better for it. If not, the loss was worth nothing.

Mistakes lose football games. Good time for a gut-check. Time to work! GPG

That’s really the only approach worth taking.
