LacyIsGood Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Even though I was critical of MM this year, I really like this move too. The success of the Packers offense with Philbin on board is legit. Now get Fangio for DC. It'll be a great way to take a mulligan on 2017, and make some moderate, but necesssary changes. If the Packers continue to struggle or are incredibly mediocre next year, then they can clean house without rocking the boat two years in a row.

I don't see Philbin as any kind of genius, but replacing Bennett with Philbin seems like a clear win to me. Dilly, Dilly x2! Bennett goes back to WR coach?

Mazrimiv Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Looks like Bennett is moving on. GB already has a new WR coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyponGrey Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Should have done this years ago. Like getting Schneider or Fangio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And back when he was our OC I felt our offense could have a big day against the good defenses in the NFL. That hasn't been the case lately. Our offense has been so neutered the last few years where we expectedly light up poor defenses but then get stomped or stymied by the good defenses. Rodgers was on a role in the postseason with Philbin as OC. He was putting up Joe Montana like numbers in the postseason. Rodgers has only had a couple dominant performances in the postseason since Philbin left, pretty much just the first two playoff games last year. That is what I'm excited about. Maybe Rodgers can get his playoff mojo back under Philbin. He used to be unstoppable in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
