HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEW PACKER COACH ?

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
LaFleur is thanking Titans, players he's had, and his mentors: Brian Kelly, Mike Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan, Dan Quinn, Sean McVay.

Mike Shanahan AND Brian Kelly?

That might be too much red-faced anger for me.

Shurmur was the classic hire the guy who nearly cost me my job (5-2 Eagle!)

That was a thing of beauty, wasn't it? And I could watch that 1995 Divisional win 100 times. In fact, I probably did.

I had myself talked into being OK with a more activist CEO/Pres but then he said Ball had a vote. WTF?

i don't like Ball either since we learned about his roll in the Hyde/Hayward dismissals and when McCarthy sensed he was evil and issued his ultimatum.

Are you still reverse jinxing? Just want to be sure before I blast you back

I would never do something like that...

That large a hydroponic operation tends to attract attention.

Completely unexpected. Road dogs, no history outside of playing frighteningly close playoff games against the Lions. Never been more happy to be surprised.

Kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Loved the stories afterward about Holmgren coughing up all the info on the 49ers offense.

I think Gary is extrapolating, but there was a report that Ball had taken on some additional TT duties during the last couple of years. I don't recall that anyone knew any details about what he did.

OK then.

Matt LaFleur is the first Packer head coach to win his first 2 games since...

[red]

i think ML is gonna have one hell of a time dealing with the ego of rodgers

ML HAS to win this battle for the packers to win in the long run the offense just doesn't work when a-rod is running it his way

[Joemailman]

I'm more than okay with it. I wanted LaFleur or Monken, so it's all good.

We're gonna see bunch formations, we're gonna see misdirection, we're gonna see play action, and that means running the ball. I agree with what somebody said about maybe the biggest winner being Aaron Jones. He should be dynamite in this offense.

Bump. How did you feel?

Could take Joe. Spot on. I was more neutral on him but I have really come to appreciate coach. I also think he's grown into the job and does a MUCH better job with the media these days. He was so nervous in his first presser.

Whatever happened to Monken? I remember those early days, not only of MLF addressing the media, but addressing the team. He was beyond awkward. Guess he had never had to do it before. The way he dealt with the whole Rodgers/audible situation was brilliant. He didn't let it become a bigger thing than it was. Now we're reaping the rewards of that. He's such an even keeled guy. It's why this team always seems to rebound from a poor performance. And why they don't get too cocky after a great performance.

I wonder why APB hated the pick. Because it wasn't Sherman?
