The Bills coach should also be in consideration over MLF just due to their drastic turnaround

The Bills are my favorite to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

I like that matchup a lot better than I do the Chiefs. Don't get me wrong, I think the offense could throw up a big number on them, there's just something though about the potency of KC that would have me extremely nervous.

The Bills have a pretty sound football team. But I'd feel good about that matchup.

With the Falcons hiring Arthur Smith and the Jets hiring Robert Saleh (who will reportedly from Mike LaFleur with him), we are probably up to 9 teams using offenses that come off of the same tree.

Packers, Rams, 49ers, Titans, Falcons, Jets, Vikings, Browns, Bengals.

It will be more important than ever for Petals and Hackett to keep evolving, because defensive coordinators are going to be doing a lot of work on this offense in the offseason.

Hackett I think has had requests?

I just saw this on television last night and threw up on the couch. Alex Smith's leg:

Matt LaFleur is now 40 games into his head coaching career and he's 33-7, with a winning percentage of 82.5%. To this point in a career, he's the best ever.

Now here's what ticks me off: this stunning achievement is all but ignored nationally because he has Aaron Rodgers.

Is Rodgers a huge advantage? Absolutely. He's LaFleur's biggest advantage, easily.

But "analysts" totally ignore what the Packers were doing with Rodgers' prior to LaFleur's arrival. His last forty games with McCarthy, his winning percentage as the starting QB was 53.8%.

So the notion that Rodgers and a bag of potato chips could do what has happened in Green Bay since 2019 is absurd. Moving to LaFleur has led to a 30 point jump in winning %. In a 17 game season, that's five wins.

LaFleur needs to start getting some appreciation for what he's accomplishing.

I think LaFleur has a lot farther to go. His career is just getting started. He gets a lot respect I think. But he's not in the hall of fame yet. I hope he has a long and successful career in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

McCarthy's "system" only works with very good skill guys who can beat man coverage simply by being better than their defender. They get very little help schematically. And having an in his prime Aaron Rodgers helps just a bit as well.

LaFleur completely revamped the offense. His schematic abilities far outweigh what McCarthy brought to the table especially towards the end. The way that everything sort of feeds off of the run is something I've wanted to see for a very long time here.

I was thinking to myself after the game Thursday Night "there's absolutely no way in hell the Packers win this game with this particular set of personnel with McCarthy as the coach".

I fear that LaFleur will never get the proper amount of credit he truly deserves for what he's been able to accomplish. You said it, Aaron Rodgers is the ultimate "cheat code", but 7 losses in 2.5 seasons is just absolutely remarkable and it's a testament to how good of a coach he really is.

He will have to find success with the next guy before he gets the credit .

Yep. And if the next guy isn't up to the task and he struggles, they will say yep he was a product of Aaron Rodgers. But now more than ever, you have to have competent quarterback play to have any sort of chance.

Just ask Belichick.

I am equally interested to see what happens in Dallas if and when Kellen Moore gets hired away.

I'll bet that Jerry makes Kellan Moore the highest paid OC in the NFL before he lets him go to another team.

That might not be enough to prevent Moore from wanting to become a head coach in the NFL though.

I looked at the list that was tweeted out for possible coty and I laughed. Why is McCarthy on there but LaFleur can't be? The Packers missed the playoffs 2 straight years before Lafluer got there. Aaron was labeled "washed" by a lot of people in 2018(especially those in the media). But now Lafluer can't get COTY because it's all because of Rodgers? Why can't "they" pick a narrative? Maybe, just maybe Matt is a really good coach, especially with all the injuries the Packers are dealing with. I don't care who your QB is, being able to win 7 in a row with a depleted roster is a very great achievement. Not even LaFleur's old buddy Kyle Shanahan is able to do it. Oh well.

Also didn't belichick win coach of the year 3 times with Brady as his QB? The reason for snubbing because LaFleur has Rodgers is just not adding up. But whatever as long as LaFleur can win the superbowl then that's all that matters.
