1. Packers hire Matt LaFleur as new head coach, the 15th head coach in Packer history.
2. LaFleur will call plays.
3. LaFleur prefers high percentage passes and zone running scheme. He seems to prefer
short to intermediate passes that have high rates of completion. Loves the screen, both
RB and WR. Ran the “pistol” with QB Marcus Mariota.
4. *LaFleur has coached MVP QB Matt Ryan in 2016. Ryan set career highs in QB rating
(117.1 5th highest in NFL history) led league with 38 TD’s.

6. *Former QB Dan Orlovsky played for LaFleur in Houston & St Louis Rams, praises him
for his “intelligence, creativity and teaching techniques.”

cares about people.”

GB 44 NY Jets 38 ot
GB 0 Detroit 31
Recap of first road win at NY Jets and season ending loss at Lambeau to Detroit. Packers finished with a record of 6-9-1
Special teams was a disaster last two games - fake punt against Jets and fake FG for TD against Lions. How NO ONE saw a Lion split out wide? Ron Zook was on sidelines with his arms crossed (literally)
Aaron Rodgers suffered concussion against Lions. Why did he play? Who bears responsibility for his injury?
Offense totaled 175 yards, 9 1st downs and averaged 3.1 yds per play against Lions. Totaled over 500 against Jets
Did this team underachieve this year?
Marcedes Lewis revealed on Mostly Football show that Rodgers changed plays, didn’t like what MM called. He would individually tell guys what to run. Sandlot football. https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/sports/marcedes-lewis-detailed-tension-aaron-rodgers- mike-mccarthy-green-bay-season-031440680.html
What did we see in last two games that gave us hope? Negative vibes?
Coaching update; McDaniels would appear to be favorite. LaFleur, Caldwell, Pagano, Flores, Campbell, Munchak, Carmichael and Philbin have interviewed or scheduled.
30 seconds - what ideal qualities should the Packers look for in next coach?

December 09, 2018#39 Philbin's Revenge
A recap after Packers 34–20 win at Lambeau against Atlanta.

Rodgers made typical Rodgers-esqe passes today to Cobb and Adams.

Emotion and effort was 100% better today.

Packers showed support for Rodgers when he scrambled and was hit by defender. A fight ensued.

Philbin had this team ready today. Is he a viable candidate for coach in future?

Who will decide next Packers coach? Is it all Murphy?

Playoffs are still a possibility. 6% chance.

Next week against Chicago do Packers have a chance? Predictions for rest of season?

Poor Frank Hermans at the national anthem today! We all make mistakes. Let’s hope he gets another chance!

December 03, 2018#38 Pack It Up. Pack It In, Let Me Bemoan
A game recap from yesterday’s historic 20–17 loss at home to Arizona.

Arizona came into the game with the worst offense in most categories, yet moved the ball well in the second half.

The event after the game, Mike McCarthy was fired! Shocked Packer Nation!

Did the loss necessitate the move by Murphy or was it just the final straw?

Was McCarthy a highly successful coach during his 13 year tenure. What positives happened? What was not so positive ?

Joe Philbin named interim coach for the last 4 games. Will he make a difference? Is he a viable candidate for the position?

Murphy stated in today’s press conference that he and Gute will work together to hire the 15th coach. Should it work like that, or should Gute have full authority?

What kind of coach is desirable? What traits should a coach have to excel here? Any candidates you would like to see hired?

The offseason looks to be riddled with as much doubt in over a decade. Do you feel good about the Packers chances to turn this around quickly and compete for Super Bowl next year?

How much of a challenge will the next coach have with Rodgers? Should Rodgers be involved in the process?

Jeremy's Notes:
A recap of the 24-17 loss to Minnesota, now putting the Packers on playoff brink @ 4-6-1. 5 NFC losses and will lose playoff tiebreakers to Washington, Minnesota, Seattle who are all in wildcard contention.

Aaron Jones was involved in offense with 17 carries for 72 yards and 1 rushing TD. He added 3 catches for 21 yards. Was it enough or should he see more?

Rodgers had a pedestrian game, missing Adams on multiple “go” routes he beat Xavier Rhodes on. 17-28 for 198 yards. Sacked 4 times.

Packers did not adjust well to Minnesota’s adjustments in second half. Minnesota blitzed less and got consistent pressure rushing 4. No one could step up while Adams was hounded with multiple defenders. Spriggs did not step up while filling in for Bahktiari.

Defense hit the brink of competitive balance with injuries.

Tramon Williams mishandled punt was a disaster, but the failed 4th down try by the Pack turned the game around and put Packers middling offense out of contention.

Positives? The future looks bright. A new coaching staff will be in place for 2019, flush salary cap room and 10 draft picks upcoming.

The team is developing a solid base of veterans with Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, Kenny Clark, Blake Martinez and Corey Linsley (to name a few). They need to be leaders. Two first round drafts picks in lower and upper half of round. Young talent with MVS, Alexander, Jackson, St. Brown looking good and progressing.

Upcoming game at Lambeau against 2-9 Arizona. What does Arizona do well? What will be the outcome?
