What do you think of Green Bay Head Coach Matt LaFleur?

First off, I'll strongly disagree that Gute is a massive improvement over Ted. GMs with different philosophies meld perfectly to rosters at different stages. Ted Thompson with a young QB was one of the best GMs in the NFL, that 2010 team was setup for a much longer run if not for injuries. Ted is not a good late stage QB GM, he's not aggressive enough in the closing window, we made the switch at the perfect time and Gute did immediately start to push in the chips.

As far as LaFleur, we'll see, think he's a hell of a head coach as far as prep and control of a locker room go. His scheme has improved from the first month of the season to where we are now. Still needs to get Aaron Rodgers to play at a higher level.

At one time TT was a good GM but his drafts the past couple of years and his avoidance of FA told me it was time for him to retire.

You're probably right because they will be a 13 win team

They've only beaten the Matt Moore led Chiefs and the Vikings if you count teams over .500.

So really only one quality win this year against the Chiefs.

Weak troll job. I know you can do better!

If you look at the Pythagorean  / Bill James formula for "expected wins" via Pro Football Reference:
They have the 2019 Packers as a 9 - 6 team so far,  based on their models
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/2019.htm

These Packers do not look "special" on any of the various predictive models, but fortunately the W / L column still rules them all

Take a look at the Sagarin ratings page below and look at the W/L  records vs Top 10 teams.
Offers some insight going into the playoffs.

I disagree on both counts.  I actually thought that was a halfway decent troll job.  As for the second point, I've never seen anything from him that makes me think he can do any better.

After that epic handshake, we don't have to wonder what Zimmer thinks of La Fleur
Rookie Head Coach is 5-0 vs the division, putting him in rare company for 2019 ( BB, Andy Reid)

Zimmer's team played like crap. Easily their worst performance all season in front of their home crowd. Has nothing to do with what he thinks of Lafleur. 100% doubt that Zimmer even thinks of him.

solid B thus far

C. He’s average. Almost aggressively average in my opinion.

Ranked 10th on both sides of the ball.  If they get home field, it’s gonna be hard to knock them out.  49ers and Saints defenses have been looking worse and worse, while Packers defense just beat up the Vikings on the road.

I'm hopeful that the 49ers get the bye because if they do, they will largely be healed up by the time they have to play in the playoffs, which would be huge. Tartt will be back, Dee Ford, and there's even talk that Kwon Alexander could be back for the playoffs. Would be a huge boon for the 9ers.

I guess that partly explains the game plan.

You don't game plan the Packers to stop Mat Lafleur. You game plan them to stop Rodgers and Adams. It was a weak handshake but had nothing to do with his like or dislike or Lafleur

C+ or B-. Lots of room to grow with more experience in the role. Want to see this offense of his in yr2 AND with actual talent added to the WR/TE room.
