Disjointed seems to be the Word of the Day.

How about regressed....lethargic....poorly coached....poor execution...uninspired football...poor game plan...lack of adjustment. We have relied too much on the run game this season due to injury of QB1 and now ML is not adjusting to more air attack and WR's have regressed also due to more blocking than receiving. We are a worse team now than we were with lesser personnel last season. We have injuries to several people, but we have not executed more than 1 game all season at a high level and that was AZ in the rain. We have not beat a truly good team all year because of that fact.

Ironically, the team seemed more "jointed" last season with RB Aaron Jones and a pre- mega contract Jordan Love. Perhaps the Packers have become too Jacobs-centic. While Love has been hobbled by both injury and great expectations. Also, as part of this offensive regression is MLF - who appears to have become less profecient within the NFC North. All things considered - some changes will be necessary in order to improve the Flow.

LaFleur needs to either coach or call plays. Not both. He’s not doing either one well.

Also better game planning - especially against top teams?

Why couldn't Heidi have interrupted this last Packer game?
Reference: 1968 American Football League game played between Oakland Raiders and New York Jets
*We better have one Malik Antonio Willis involved at some point to add a few wrinkles. There better be some sort of pass rush that doesn't lose containment. There better be two TE formations in the near future. C- Watson, be like Popeye and eat more spinach. There better be a better plan than saying we have to start fast or else we're doomed. And, take that red flag from Coach LaF and what is the referees ignoring Coach's timeout requests?
Oh well, Serenity Prayer is being rehearsed at our palatial estate.

Disjointed ... Problem one... Slow out of the huddle and lining up to the ball ... JLove slowly lining up the offence... play clock running down
11, 10, 9, JLove shifting blockers 6, 5, 4, JLove looking things over 3, 2, JLove slapping hands quick quick snap snap the ball 1, 0 on the
play clock. How many times does this happen? per game. The worst part is the DL can tee-off on a pass play because they dont have guess anymore the clock is at zero the ball HAS TO BE SNAPPED. This is on Love and MLF and needs to be fixed .....

The Packers had a couple plays where they ran out of the huddle and snapped the ball right away. I like that. The defense can't line themselves up and call a pressure that fast.

When Preston Smith wanted out that was a sign the defense was in trouble. Also the #1 draft pick two years ago Lukas VanNess is a wasted #1 pick by a weak GM. The 13th pick in 1st round last year doesn't belong in the starting defensive line. Its time for a new GM who knows how to draft. Congrats on making the playoffs but need to make many changes in Packer MGT next year.

Gutless has put the team in salary cap hell because of the stupid contract given to not very good QB . Oh well now he can still draft great players like Van Ness . He has pretty much ruined the future of this team, but what does he care, he will just get fired and go live a good life with the money he conned out of the Packers !

I would encourage you to go to Spotrac.com and see for yourself before you say something so obviously untrue. They're 10th in available cap space.
I think if you look at the players drafted since Gutekunst became GM, you'll see that most of the players that he's drafted, since 2018, are still playing in the league. He's also shown to be adept at acquiring extra draft picks.
And let's not forget Amos, ZSmith, PSmith, McKinney, and Jacobs in FA....
You aren't barking up the wrong tree. You're in the wrong county.

@LH-most of those players are 4th stringers--Amos, Savage, Amari Rodgers, etc.
Everyone hates ZSmith-he'll be toast as soon as Hutchinson returns.

@ST-But, Gute loves Draft time-it's his favorite thing to do. GB needs to take the keys.

MLF needs a hotshot OC who calls plays. (Not Stenavich)
