Packers 2022 Thread

Don't be surprised if someone like Indianapolis tries to get Rodgers for next year.
 
From a piece by Bill Huber on what the issues and in regards to coaching...

Has Matt LaFleur picked the wrong guys? That’s hard to say. Are the coaches doing a bad job teaching the technique and directing the weekly plan? Or is it the fault of the players for not taking what’s worked on at practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to the field on Sunday?

Rich Bisaccia’s special teams are only minutely better than last year’s disaster, ranking 30th in Football Outsiders’ rankings compared to 32nd in 2021. Joe Barry’s defense looks good on paper. On the field, they look like paper tigers. The defensive backs love position coach Jerry Gray but they don’t play like it based on blown assignments. The run defense has been terrible, which would have merited its own section had the Packers not stuffed Derrick Henry and still lost on Thursday.

If LaFleur fires Barry, it will be the fourth coordinator he’s fired in four seasons, following Mike Pettine on defense and Shawn Mennenga and Mo Drayton on special teams. That’s a bad track record. The constant firing squads aren’t going to make it any easier to hire the next coordinator.

Adam Stenavich, who was promoted from offensive line coach to offensive coordinator, and Jason Vrable, who was given the title of passing-game coordinator in addition to receivers coach, have been dealt tough hands but any progress on offense has been hard to detect.

Of course, it’s LaFleur’s offense. Maybe it’s all his fault for not adapting to life without Davante Adams. Or ceding too much of his offensive vision to Aaron Rodgers.
The Packers were 3-1 headed to London. The trip was a nuisance to LaFleur. Who knows if his attitude about the whole thing rubbed off on the players, but the Packers lost to the Giants. The Packers returned to Green Bay to face the Jets, who are coached by LaFleur’s close friend, Robert Saleh. “You hate beating up on your buddy,” LaFleur said. Who knows if his thoughts on the buddy battle rubbed off on the players, but the Packers lost that game, too.

LaFleur, who went a resounding 39-10 in this first three seasons, has been unable to find an escape from the downward spiral. The victory over the Cowboys provided some optimism, which the Titans promptly squashed.

Now will come the biggest challenge of LaFleur’s career. Never mind winning five or six games to get into the playoffs. Can his team keep fighting? Can it show improvement where it’s been nonexistent?

Barring a miracle, the 2022 season is over. It’s time to start laying the foundation for 2023 and long past time to prove that the leadership of this team has the ability to find solutions.

I take Huber’s points but how many years should the team waste on coaches they know aren’t getting it done just so they look better? It’s a cut throat league, there’s no room for squishiness.

Well as far as ML they won't do anything because he just signed a BIG Extention same with Gute, however, there will be a fall out on this staff for the season... more of a how deep and vast it is rather then if it is.

I think their drunk owner is done trying to get washed up vets. He's going to try to get a rookie to build around.

Also is Rich B even going to stay beyond this year? ST stunk and he might have only had a 1 year deal and even if not with what he's had to work with in GB he might try to seek a better job outside of GB.

I agree, I guess my point was just that it’s easy for Huber to wax about how it makes everyone look but bottom line is they can’t go through a 5 win season and bring everyone back as if there weren’t massive failures all around. There are clearly coaching issues here, the only thing worse than more turnover now is doing nothing, wasting a season, and making the same changes in 2024.
 
LOL Packer fans saying if we win out we can make playoffs at 10-7. Do those fans watch this team or just have head in clouds.
