Packers Struggle as LaFleur Admits Offensive Woes
Confirmed
In Short: Packers coach Matt LaFleur admitted his team's offensive struggles after a 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, marking the Packers' worst start in eight seasons.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur admitted his team's offensive struggles after a 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, marking the Packers' worst start in eight seasons.
The offensive line has also been a significant issue, allowing 15 quick pressures in the recent game, according to Next Gen Stats. Through three weeks, Green Bay's 56 points and minus-0.10 EPA/play are the worst in the LaFleur era.
LaFleur's decision to go for it on a play that was doomed from the start further highlighted the team's current struggles.
The Packers' offensive woes continue to plague the team, leading to a poor start to the season and a loss that saw them booed off Lambeau Field.
What's confirmed
- "I think we've got to continue to work with these guys and try to figure out what we do well," LaFleur said.
What's still developing
- "Because right now I don't know what we're doing well offensively." It isn't their running game.
- The Packers don't have their leading rusher from the past two seasons, Josh Jacobs, who is on the commissioner exempt list, and they entered Week 3 averaging a league-worst 64.5 rushing yards per game.
- "But I can't say that because we're not doing it." The offensive line is in shambles.
- The Yankees were without Judge for over three months this season due to a stress fracture in his right rib.
- And after playing in just seven games since his return, Judge is back on the IL with a new injury.
- So, let's take a crack at constructing the Yankees' best playoff lineup if Judge can't make it back.
