LaFleur to keep calling plays but must 'look inward'
"Like I told the team today, I don't care if we win 3-0 or 49-48. Bottom line is we have to find a way to get it done, otherwise you get criticized, and that's just the way it is. So I think that, especially as the playcaller, you're trying to put people in the best position possible to go out there and have success."
"Just two weeks ago, the Packers (5-3-1) were tied for fifth in the NFL scoring, but after a 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 and the 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, they fell to 15th in scoring heading into Sunday's game against the New York Giants. They also fell from seventh in total yards to 12th this week."
Matt LaFleur will retain playcalling duties while searching for ways to jumpstart an inconsistent Packers offense. LaFleur has called plays since becoming head coach in 2019, with one prior playcalling season in 2018 with the Tennessee Titans. LaFleur's offenses ranked in the top 11 in four of his first six seasons, including fifth in 2024. The Packers scored 20 combined points in losses to Carolina (16-13) and Philadelphia (10-7), dropping to 15th in scoring and falling from seventh to 12th in total yards. Rushing rank slid to 20th from fifth last season, and Jordan Love has not thrown a touchdown in two straight games.
