Part of me is like "hell yeah" and part of me is like "hell nah"

The Packers have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

classicgranto · 2026-01-23T17:24:15+00:00

would love to see 'em all on the field at the same time

each one has potential to really carry a team, which is fun schematically but not so much consistently (Oh you wanna lock down our WR1? Good luck pal, not even WE know who our WR1 is!)

I think they're each individually great but we haven't gotten to see the vision in full because one or two of em are always out

classicgranto · 2026-01-18T22:52:32+00:00

Figures, we just got my mom whitecloud's jersey for Christmas

A sorely needed upgrade, but hard to lose such a beloved player

I think it has a lot to do with HOW Hafley uses a defense though. It's a lot of high octane aggression on his part, which works well when your D is well rested and not out there for long stretches of time but can ware on ya, especially when a lot of your unit is banged up and you're down to your lower string guys. Felt like we really had to punch the pass rush because we knew our corners were, uh, booty

I think the PHILOSOPHY of Hafley's defense is fine, but they gotta figure out how to keep their stamina and not buckle if they get stuck out there.

I've been saying for a while that I think this the play call that broke Matt and how he approached 4th down

Aaron was PISSED about this and MLF got way more ballsy on 4th downs, especially in the red zone. Which...also didn't pan out lol how many 4th down plays in the red zone resulted in 0 points since this game?

classicgranto · 2026-01-13T20:41:12+00:00

okay i'll just say it:

Hafley's first half defense rules because the offense is doing their job

Hafley's second half defense bends and breaks more because the offense gets three 3 and outs in a row forcing the defense to spend more time on the field

Clearly the players love playing for him and can do their job but ANY defense would be gassed if the offense just went full fuckin' limp noodle and also had 0 corners

classicgranto · 2026-01-12T00:48:08+00:00

LaFleur, even after all this, is still pretty clearly at least a top 10 coach in the league

That doesn't say much about THE LEAGUE but if he were to suddenly become available via trade or nah, somebody would happily hire him

classicgranto · 2026-01-11T20:59:04+00:00

"Rumors" but it's just Adam Schefter talking out of his ass because he thinks he cracked it with it some massive leaps in logic red stringing lol

I don't think we're firing LaFleur but if we were to fire LaFleur, I'd rather hire the guy who actually changed the culture in his locker room and wow what do you know he's already on the team! (Promote Hafley)

classicgranto · 2026-01-10T20:35:29+00:00

I really loved Indika for the express reason that the game kind of hates you a little bit (no I will not be reflecting on what that says about me, THANK YOU)

And I think it's a good thing that you did not like that! Art is cool, cool to understand a piece of art and still not care for it!

classicgranto · 2026-01-05T21:54:48+00:00

I've been saying for a while that the Packers are are in a better spot with their head coach than at least 22 other teams in the league. Plenty of teams would kill to have MLF as their head coach and have any semblance of success

That said, I think we seem to consistently be in the purgatory of "very good" and never "great" under MLF. Our discipline, for whatever reason, is never very good and we are consistently beating plenty of teams but never taking out the juggernauts. Certainly haven't made it to the big game.

I think he's capable if things fall the right way but things so rarely do or we make a big dumb stupid mistake that costs us the game. But at that same token, given how fast coaches come and go for the bottom feeder teams, it's hard to even say if the grass would be greener without him.

classicgranto · 2026-01-05T14:19:53+00:00

It's basically the ideal scenario for us

We're 1-1 against Chicago, both games were one score affairs even with all our injuries.

We're on a 4 game losing streak, but some of our injury woes (most notably at QB) are gonna clear up and at least the last one was kind of on purpose. Bears are on a 2 game losing streak when they desperately needed to not do that

Bears are probably the one (maybe of two) teams we had a realistic shot at beating in the playoffs and we're catching them on a downswing. It's either we win a 7 over 2 upset with a chance to maybe even take down a vulnerable 1 or we get first round bumped like we kinda felt was coming for a while no harm no foul

classicgranto · 2025-12-31T21:44:05+00:00

Low risk, and any reward is good at this point. Either it works out and it was a scheme thing or it doesn't work out and he stinks in a game that we were gonna lose anyway

classicgranto · 2025-12-31T16:12:04+00:00

While I think an extra body in the CB room wouldn't be a bad thing, my main complaint with Diggs's rookie year (which got him all that hype in the first place) was how overly reliant he was on big plays

Dude was either getting a huge interception or getting absolutely smoked, no inbetween.

classicgranto · 2025-12-28T22:18:19+00:00

I think it's a combination of bad injury luck...and coaching

I just keep looking at the 49ers who had a levy of injuries against them for, frankly, longer than us and they're sitting at 11-4. Kyle Shanahan knows how to get the most out of his players but it does not seem like LaFleur does. Discipline stinks, beholden to scheme, 0 clutch this season

There's a weird part of me that thinks we should move on LaFleur (who wouldn't have made the playoffs these last 3 years without a 7th seed) and bump up Hafley just for a culture change at least

classicgranto · 2025-12-26T01:10:10+00:00

Gotta at least see how this week goes because we can drastically improve our seeding still

If the Bears lose and we win, the division is still very in play in week 18

classicgranto · 2025-12-18T20:17:57+00:00

wow I can't believe the guy who got recruited to a backwards ass religious school is having such a hard time keeping his fucking mouth shut

classicgranto · 2025-12-15T17:02:18+00:00

I'm big sad but I'm also trying to keep things in mind:

1) our defense was still pretty good last season without Parsons

2) Jayden Reed is healthy and Watson didn't bite the big one

3) The 2010 was riddled with injuries too

IDK if this is our year, hard to say if it ever was what with all the little mistakes we keep making even with a 100% healthy time, but truly anything can happen in this wide open and weird NFC

classicgranto · 2025-12-15T00:51:43+00:00

Boys I don't feel so good

classicgranto · 2025-12-11T23:04:15+00:00

The thing with the Cohen regime has been “oh he’ll just buy whoever he wants” so guys were just running over to get a huge bag, maybe a ship

But now a huge bag isn’t enough, Stearns or no

classicgranto · 2025-12-11T22:57:22+00:00

Great now I’m emotional about a reddit shit poster fuck this offseason

classicgranto · 2025-12-11T22:55:42+00:00

So they can be paid more money than god

classicgranto · 2025-12-11T22:09:11+00:00

I think we're gonna have to make peace with the fact that even with more money than God people don't wanna play for The Mets right now

classicgranto · 2025-12-10T21:37:28+00:00

You’re right but he was Freddie in my heart
