Really was hired to make AR great again and early results are extremely promising.

Too bad these two have such a burning hatred for each other.

One thing some of us talked about when LaFleur was hired...he does a masterful job installing route concepts for all eligible receivers. Some of the multiple TE, RB and FB routes meshed with the WR routes are simply creative as hell...even some of their release points are just unusual and extremely innovative. Defenses can't cover everyone in this offense !!!
Saw this on tape when he was OC for the Titans but Marriota simply wasn't good enough to pull it off. Not to mention our Offensive Line is playing lights out.
Many said it would take a while to get the offense on track....here it comes !!!
MLF and Rodgers in sync. Nice.
Love the hire thus far.
I like the synchronization.
I don't like that AR turned his back to the HC during the "double fist pump". Underlying issues??
Mocking fist pump.
LaFleur is Aaron's puppet.
Aaron Jones has more receptions in 2019 than he had in all of 2018. That should tell you all you need to know. An explosive in space player with good hands caught fewer balls in the 12 games he played than the 7 played this year.
I complained for years that the Packers offense never had free runners, never had easy throw to wide open RBs in the flat, never had TEs for those easy wide open throws on the 8 yd outs or 14 yd cross.
Every throw was contested and difficult just like the former HC. He had a chip on his shoulder and wanted to prove something. I always suspected he wanted to prove he was smart.
Packers' Aaron Rodgers back in MVP race for first time in 3 years
Making AR great again.
It kinda says something MM doesn't have a job right now. That might change come January. (Washington or maybe Minnesota when Zimmer gets fired)
Ooooooohh did I just let the ð out of the bag??
I'm just glad the Packer offense is back on track.

I'm thinking McVince will follow in Lombardi's footsteps and take the Washington HC job.

Or if PIT gets tired of Tomlin, Tomlin could head to WAS (he's from VA) and MM could "go home" to PIT.
Has vInce Jr been offered any of these jobs?
Pittsburgh doesn't change HC's often
Correct. And it's been 12 years.
Aaron Rodgers on @dpshow right now: "I'm having a lot of fun with Matt. He's been a blast to work with. It's been a lot of fun to go through the weeks of preparation together."

To clarify, he's talking about Matt LaFleur, not me.
The trend of having plenty of HC vacancies should continue this year.
Washington needs a coach.
Quinn is likely done in Atlanta.
It wouldn't surprise me if O'Brien is fired. Texans under-achieve every year, despite having decent talent. Pretty much the same for Marrone in Jacksonville.
I'd be surprised to see some of the newer coaches get replaced in places like Miami, NY Jets, Arizona, or...Chitcago? I would suppose it will depend if any of these guys are seen as QB gurus, depending on how each teams drafts or develops the younger guys they have now.
Washington & Atlanta for sure. Maybe Cleveland because I think Kitchens is in over his head. 1 other team.
I don't think any of the young guys that are in their first year will get fired. 3 or 4 teams is what I have right now for coaching changes.
Jason Garrett is still on a short leash in Dallas. I'd expect he's out if they don't win their division.
Philly beat-down bought him some breathing room.
And don't forget One Eye in Minnyland.
If MN makes the playoffs this year, I don't think Zimmer goes anywhere. The exception might be if Stefanski makes noise about leaving or if Kubiak has been poisoning the waters...
Packers may actually have a couple of offensive assistants getting head coaching consideration in offseason.

I think he needs to win a playoff game.

Mmmmmm....interesting

Really? Which one(s)?
Maybe Hackett. But I think everyone sees MLF is the guy there.
Yeah, I don't see anyone getting a HC gig. Maybe OC with playcalling duties. That was the trajectory MLF took.
Of all people that have coached at least 7 NFL games, Matt La Fleur has the best winning percentage .857
I'd retire.
He's only 8 games into a brand new offense, and he's played 4 games without Davante Adams, but Aaron Rodgers is on pace for a career-high in passing yards. Also on pace to average most yards/attempt (8.2) and have highest passer rating (106.7) since 2014.

But all he does is check down and avoid the middle of the field because interceptions are scary.
Gameplan and play calls were refreshing yesterday. Been a long time since you saw so many easy yards in the passing game. Perfect place to matriculate down the field.
Scheme creating explosive plays. Amazing.
So MLF is a cheater too.
One year ago today.
I had low expectations coming in this year. While there is at least a little bit of luck that has helped LaFleur (healthiest Packers' team I can remember), he has done nothing short of a great job in how quickly he helped things turn around from the last year and a half. Some of it was the great personnel moves by Gutekunst as well, but make no mistake, if MM was still head coach, I don't think this team would be where they are right now.
That doesn't mean MM was a bad coach, it just means that he just wasn't getting the best out of the guys who were ready to hear a new voice and work with someone with some new ideas. He may do just fine down in Dallas, but I don't think he would have done well with the Pack this year, at least not as well as LaFleur did.
