IMO one of the first things MLF needs to do is replace Royce Newman. Either move Jenkins inside to RG and Zack Tom or Yosh to RT, or move Jenkins to LG, Runyon to RG, and Zack Tom or Yosh to RT. Personally, I'd keep EJ on the right side with Tom or Yosh, but Jenkins's BEST position is Guard. Once that is done RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!

Next, I'd have MLF, the rest of the Offensive Staff, and maybe even Gute, have a sit down with Rodgers and tell him to just run the F'ng offense. CLEARLY, what has been going on ISN'T working. You gave AJ Dillon who BTW was averaging 5.7 YPC the ball 6 times. WTF Aaron! We understand YOU want to get Cobb or this week Lewis and Lazard more involved, but let's just focus on getting Jones and Dillon the ball a MINIMUM of 30 to 40 touches a game. Get that working and EVERYTHING will start clicking.

I heard Silverstein asked, Joe Barry if it was smart to use his secondary the way he has been the first 5 weeks, and WHY Joe Barry are you playing this shitty soft zone with your CB's 10 yards off on 3rd and short? Barry did admit it wasn't the best way to go about it and he'd be more aggressive. Obviously, this isn't how the conversation went but you get the idea. NOW, we'' see if Barry is just another Packers Coach who gives us lip service but doesn't back it up with action.

I'm sorry folks, I know I've been pretty negative this week but this is beyond ridiculous. IMO there's just no excuse to be playing offense and defense like this with the personnel the Packers have.

The difference between home and away games is MLF only flaps his arms at home games. Someone should do the analytics on win vs loss differential in flap and non-flap games. I think it would be significant from a statistical standpoint. MLF could use the results to determine if he should flap at away games. He doesn’t ever make any in-game adjustments so it’s not like he’s busy coaching or anything. He might as well be flapping.

"Away game prep?" Is that a thing? Like significantly different than "Home game prep?"

Minnesota, Tampa and the Giants on the road (11-4). Chicago and New England at home (4-7). Maybe there are other explanations than the flight schedule.

They still call it typing?

Nick said everything needed above. Thanks. Try not to over-exert yourself Nick.

egbertsouse is heading in the right direction too. I think MLF needs to concentrate on more left flaps maybe a couple right flaps to mix it up. Reminds me of the coach I most despise in Pete Carol from Seatle. Never could stand his sideline antics.

Someone should tell MLF that his arm flapping looks ridiculous by the HC and he should concentrate more on what the opposition is doing and what his team is NOT doing.

I began to question MLF’s judgment, when he decided to hire Joe Barry

Joseph, I appretiated that you try to be positive. I have to say that history is not on your side. First of all, Packers roster is not SB or bust. Packers roster is for the future. Only few players on Packers are SB or bust - ACR, Lewis, Cobb, Crosby and possibly Bakh. The rest of the team is young enough to have time to win SB down the road.

Second, what some posters already stated here on different topics, it looks like MLF is not doing his HC job, but possibly concentrated on OC job, while leave DC and defense coaches to take care of defense under the tutelage of Joe Barry. Only one coach doing his job properly - Rich Bisaccia. Looks like MLF as play caller worries more about how to please ACR than what opponents are doing at D. Also, to me it looks ridiculous that you keep Toure inactive every game, while you are keeping Amari Rodgers on the team. It is obvious that he is not KR and just average to below average PR. I'm sure that RB can find another PR/KR on the roster who'll play better than Amari. For me it will be blessing for Amari and Packers if something happens so that Amari goes to IR (I do not call for anything serious, just some soft tissue issue that you can not solve in 3 to 4 games) what will push Packers to try somebody else on those 2 duties.

Special story is Packers QB1. Some issues many posters here have noticed already last season. It looks like ACR did not do progression throug the field before made throws. Last season inacurate throws were relatively rare, but this season those inacurate throws start to come in bunches and we do not notice how ACR screen the field through the progression. Some find excuses that Packers OL are weak at pass protection, but those weird throws occurs also in situation when he had good protection.

By my opinion, the most worrisome thing came out after the last game vs Giants. Some players, from D side of the ball (like Jaire, for example) had some observation aired publicly about D strategy they not like. Also, Aaron jones comment on those last 2 plays in the red zone (3rd and 2, 4th and 2) is something that we are not used to hear publicly earlier through MLF time with Packers. That shows that in the Packers Locker room exists turmoil or the beggining of it.

Also, if someone did not read the book "Peters' principle" I recomend you to read. That principle may be the problem why Packers offense is so unimaginative. Peter's principle say that every person advance in hierarchy to the level of his/her incompetence. Stenavich is surely wondeful OL position coach, but we may ask ourselves does he has in himself what is necessary to be OC. Same principle may be used to explain succesful ILB coach who became DC (Joe barry) with suspicious results.

I hope other posters will be able to undestand my English in what I wrote above.

Thanks for this article Joseph!

From what I can ser he can't get them up at home either.
