The Green Bay Packers entered the season with Super Bowl aspirations. That could still happen, but they’re certainly not playing like that right now.
Following an embarrassing home loss to the Carolina Panthers, they scored seven points in a Week 10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. While there should be no shame in losing to the reigning Super Bowl champions or being shut down by their reinforced defense, it just isn’t a good look.
It’s reached a point where fans have lost their patience with head coach Matt LaFleur, who spoke out about his job security after the tough loss.
“I’ll leave that for everybody else to decide. I’ll just focus on the day to day and try to do. I feel like you’re always coaching for everything in this league, you know? That’s just my mindset. It’s always been that way. You can’t ever exhale. You gotta always be pushing. That’s just my mindset and that will be my mindset until they tell me not to coach anymore,” LaFleur said.
Asked Matt LaFleur if he thinks he's coaching for his job now:

That makes sense, and it’s what he’s supposed to say. Then again, the fact that he’s talking about it nine games into the season is a terrible omen.
LaFleur is one of the bright minds in the game. He would probably get a job as an offensive coordinator immediately after being fired.
Then again, he hasn’t done a good job this season. His reluctance to give up play-calling duties is hurting the offense, and his decision-making has left plenty to be desired as well.
The Packers have too much talent to be playing this way. While there’s plenty of time to recover, with five NFC North games remaining, Green Bay can’t wait forever to turn it around.
