I can't say if I like or dislike the new HC but claiming Aaron hired him is hysterically funny.

My thoughts are I'm not impressed with @undisputed.

I'm going to wait until LaFleur has some HC games under his belt before making a judgement.

They want head lines, they want former Brady or former Brees coach going to coach Rodgers for the highlines, they don't know shit, they want headleads so they can be attention whore, and since they didn't get what they wanted, they're going to be attention whore by being shock jocks and burying the move as must as possible (which Skip did), to get headleads and people to spread their message around... to get.more attention, because attention equal money in their business.


At the end of the day, their job is to get attention, not to know shit...

I like the pick, and I'm excited to see what he's got. BUT, one thing I don't like is this aspect of his offensive philosophy: He's against "dinking and dunking" down the field. Wants to go for "chunk plays." He says dinking and dunking is too hard.

My take is that, what he calls "dinking and dunking" is what I call, "wearing down a defense." "Chunk plays" are a result of YAK, or of screens and traps, where the RB makes somebody miss. You get those in the natural course of pursuing excellence due to downfield blocking and wearing a defense down until they are tired, especially late in games.

HOWEVER, we all know that the NFL wants to change the game to conform to Madden video games, and the rules favor huge DPI penalties. I mean, if you got a guy open, there's nothing wrong with taking your shots, but can we adhere to fundamentals? This is going to encourage Aaron's propensity to go sandlot.

However, seeing as this is the worst kept secret around, it seems like 99.99% chance Matt LeFleur is our new Head Coach. So, we're all going to dig deep and find everything we can about him to get a jump start. And if LeFleur rejects the offer (sources have stated he already accepted, hence the Packers telling other candidates the position is filled) or if he changes his mind, then guess what? We will cross him off our list and we'll start digging deeper into other candidates.

And my favorite was Da bares- Dave McGinnis not because he was such a HC wiz. Rather it made the bares look so incompetent and they fumbled, stumbled and bumbled the process causing other worthwhile candidates to back off and turn them down. They ended up with Dick Jauron. He only had 1 winning season and lost to the Eagles in the playoffs.

It's happened before and it will happen again. We can roll with the assumption that Matt LaFleur is the new HC at GB.

edit- sorry Z2C, old guys abbreviate too. We don't have as much time left as you kids do as we can't waste it typing the whole word out.

I just found out today that Matt LeFleur coached at my alma mater, Northern Michigan University, in Marquette, Michigan just 15 miles down the road from my house..
He coached quarterbacks and receivers for one season in 2006.
I remember him playing against NMU but I didn't know that he coached there.

A valid concern.
Nevertheless, I think Matt LaFleur thinks a slant and square out are chunk plays, while check-downs to the back and quick WR screens are dinking and dunking. The distinction is aggressiveness vs. taking what the defense gives you.
If you are going to throw it to a back, hit him with a head of steam running swiftly in a particular direction.

Skip Bayless is an asswipe an Shannon Sharpe is a DS. Sterling got all the brains in the family.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (38m) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (40m) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (51m) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (3h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (3h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (3h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (3h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (3h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (3h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (3h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (3h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (4h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (4h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (5h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (5h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (5h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (5h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (6h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (6h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (6h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (7h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (7h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (7h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (8h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (8h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (9h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (9h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (9h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (9h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (9h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (9h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (9h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (9h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (9h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (9h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (9h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (9h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (10h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (10h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (10h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (10h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (10h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (10h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (10h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (10h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
