Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur isn’t afraid to speak his mind. He isn’t a jerk. And doesn’t leave the media out in the cold. If he did, you would know. The media is softer than Charmin these days and thinks Twitter is their personal diary. We would know if they didn’t like LaFleur. Therefore, LaFleur gave his opinion on the defense and when he did, it was a full-blown shots fired to Mike Pettine, the defensive coordinator of the Packers. The comments from LaFleur read to me as a warning shot for the remainder of the year or possibly the next game.

#Packers coach Matt LaFleur said he knew exactly what the #Vikings were going to do on offense and he said they never put Minnesota in a position where they had to throw the ball. He said they better find a solution quickly.

This is not something LaFleur wants to wait out until the remainder of the season. He isn’t Mike McCarthy in that sense. The Packers head coach did not hire Pettine. Remember that. This isn’t his guy. Who is his guy? I have no clue. The only guy that comes to mind is Dan Quinn considering the LaFleur tree. But they would likely use another member of the staff whether it’s Jerry Gray, Mike Smith, or someone else.

The comments from LaFleur are similar to every fano ut there right now. How have the Packers not found a way to fix their run defense by now. And where the coach is likely to be upset is I’m sure they’re telling him that things are fixed and things like what happened at San Francisco last year will not happen again. Welp, it already did twice. In the Packers’ two losses, the opposing team used their running backs more than their quarterbacks.

If the Packers lose on Thursday but the defense plays well for the most part. Maybe turnovers are a factor or something weird happens, no one is getting rid of Pettine. But if the Packers get gashed again on the ground, Pettine might be looking for new work. This cannot keep happening. LaFleur realizes this and is trying to put an end to it all.
