LaFleur Explains Decision on Embattled Barry· Page 4

Seriously? Can you explain how you think what Matt LaFleur has said over the last 10 days is justifying a poor defensive outing. Because if you listen to the questions being asked and his answer, that's far from what he's doing. Because I have and that's not at all what I'm hearing. I'm confident Joe Barry will NOT be the DC for Green Bay Packers in 2024. And that's based off what I'm hearing from the HC.

Edit, my apologies if that comes off like I'm attacking you. I'm not. I'm just genuinely curious to hear your explanation. Sorry. 😐

The excuses are getting old when the defense is getting torched by pathetic QBs - especially when we all see the same shit every week... soft zone, 5+ yards off of receivers, rarely blitz, defending behind the yard to gain marker... yet the response is "offense needs to do better"?

Maybe it's striking me in a different way than others, but the offense is the last group that should be taking blame for that near collapse.

Weak DC and injuries to the defense are a problem. Mainly, the DC, in my opinion. As for the cushion, I'll mention this again (like broken record, haha) Jaire has said he prefers to play off and that the new DB coach is trying to get him to play closer. This tells me that it's not the DC as much as it's the players choosing to play off.

Jaire is in it for Jaire. You couldn't get more counter-productive in this place and time than that, right now, at least for the fleeting hopes of this team for this year.
He's a self-centered person. That gets dismissed, but please don't speak of GB as some sort of oasis from those that are not, especially in the context of a press that doesn't have the capacity to get beyond kissing these asses.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
