Following the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u2019 10-7 Week 10 loss to the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0on \u201cMonday Night Football,\u201d head coach Matt LaFleur was immediately bombarded with questions about his job security.<\/p>\n
Though he has a 72-36-1 record in six-and-a-half seasons with the Packers, LaFleur has come under fire in recent years for his third-, second-, and third-place finishes in the NFC North, respectively, the last three seasons.<\/p>\n
Some might say it\u2019s a bit premature to put LaFleur on the hot seat, but others like\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Matt Schneidman, believe the 46-year-old could be coaching for his job the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll leave that for everybody else to decide,\u201d\u00a0LaFleur said\u00a0about whether he thinks his job is at risk. \u201cI\u2019ll just focus on the day-to-day. \u2026 I feel like you\u2019re always coaching for everything in this league, you know? \u2026 That\u2019s just my mindset and that will be my mindset \u2019til they tell me not to coach anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the calls for LaFleur\u2019s job will likely only get louder with each Packers loss, some feel he could have quelled some of those unruly fans wanting him ousted if he had done one simple thing: relinquish his offensive play-calling duties.<\/p>\n
However, as LaFleur informed reporters during Wednesday\u2019s media availability, that\u2019s not something he\u2019s willing to do at this moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a chuckle, Matt LaFleur says he isn\u2019t giving up play calling,\u201d Schneidman tweeted.<\/p>\n
With a chuckle, Matt LaFleur says he isn\u2019t giving up play calling.<\/p>\n
While the Packers are playing championship-caliber defense through 10 games, the same can\u2019t be said of the offense.<\/p>\n
Green Bay ranks 12th in yards per game (349.3), 15th in points per game (23.7), and it has the 20th-ranked rushing offense. The Packers also have the sixth-worst average yards per rush (3.9).<\/p>\n
Those numbers, while not terrible, don\u2019t exactly paint the picture of an offense poised to make a deep playoff run.<\/p>\n
LaFleur admitted that he knows changes have to be made.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that, especially as the play-caller, you\u2019re trying to put people in the best position possible to go out there and have success,\u201d\u00a0LaFleur added, via ESPN. \u201cAnd when we\u2019re not having collective success \u2026 you have to challenge yourself to do better, to find something else in order to go out there and move the ball and score points.\u201d<\/p>\n
Offensive struggles are something new for the Packers under LaFleur.<\/p>\n
In his previous six season, Green Bay had a top-11 offense four times, including having the fifth-best offense last season.<\/p>\n
That track record is likely why star quarterback Jordan Love hasn\u2019t lost faith in his head coach. After Monday\u2019s loss, Love stood up for his head coach, stating no one should be counting LaFleur out just yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of trust in Matt,\u201d\u00a0Love said. \u201cThat\u2019s something that\u2019s not wavering at all. I\u2019ve been with Matt since I got here. I know exactly what he\u2019s capable of, what the whole staff is capable of; that\u2019s not wavering. It comes back to all of us \u2014 players, coaches, everybody \u2014 finding ways to improve and get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me it\u2019s simple,\u201d Nix said during a press conference \u201cI delete all of my social media. I don\u2019t even have it. Unless they say it to my face, I don\u2019t hear it. Nobody is ever bold enough to say it to your face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bo Nix said he deleted his social media apps so he doesn\u2019t hear anything external unless someone says something to his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd nobody\u2019s ever bold enough to say it to your face,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The admission came after a turbulent stretch for Denver, with questions swirling around the offense and the team\u2019s direction under head coach Sean Payton \u2013 all of this despite the Broncos being 8-2 and tied atop the AFC standings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nix\u2019s comments show a quarterback intent on blocking out distractions and keeping his focus on football \u2014 particularly ahead of a key matchup against the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nix said the \u201ctoughest part\u201d of his job isn\u2019t necessarily what happens between the lines \u2014 it\u2019s dealing with the constant chatter around it. He acknowledged that the scrutiny comes with being a starting\u00a0NFL\u00a0quarterback but made it clear he no longer engages with that part of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody wants to question it, you can overthink it, and that takes away from playing the game,\u201d Nix said. \u201cWe\u2019re all here for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also reflected on how sports media and fan culture often magnify every mistake or highlight reel, turning athletes into storylines rather than people.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor whatever reason in life and in football, people think we have this opportunity to doubt or question, to hype up or tear down these guys,\u201d Nix said. \u201cIt\u2019s really in sport in general. We make this entertainment business a lot bigger than what it is and we forget that everybody is having a good time and doing the best they can.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Broncos\u2019 second-year starter said he first learned how brutal online criticism could be back at Auburn, recalling the moment his college team\u2019s undefeated run ended with a loss to Florida. He didn\u2019t go into detail about what exactly happened, but the feeling afterward was ominous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s when I really got to actually know the bad side of this sport,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate for sure. At the same time, it\u2019s what comes with the territory.\u201d<\/p>\n
By signaling he doesn\u2019t see social media, Nix is detailing his mindset \u2013 one focused on preparation and leadership rather than reaction. The 25-year-old is trying to insulate himself from outside voices as Denver looks to regroup and build consistency on offense.<\/p>\n
His comments also echo a broader message that\u2019s been circulating in the Broncos\u2019 locker room: ignore the noise, focus on execution, and let results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n
For a team that\u2019s been under the microscope, Nix\u2019s approach could help stabilize the locker room. His admission might also resonate with younger players navigating their own share of criticism. He noted that his response to adversity can set an example for fans and kids who look up to NFL players.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt allows other people to see how you respond to adversity,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of younger kids and a lot of people that want to be in our shoes. They want to grow up to be just like us. Hopefully they\u2019re better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nix closed his remarks with a dose of humility, and faith, saying life \u2013 and football \u2013 rarely go according to plan. His long-term outlook suggests a player who understands both the grind and the unpredictability of an NFL career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it would go like I planned, I would have won every national championship in college,\u201d he said. \u201cWe would have won the Super Bowl last year, and we\u2019d be undefeated right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
That perspective could serve him well as Denver moves deeper into the season. After an offseason of optimism and early flashes of potential, the Broncos have endured their share of ups and downs. But Nix\u2019s decision to tune out the noise may be the first step toward recalibrating both his own focus and the team\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n
For now, he\u2019s not interested in headlines, tweets, or public perception. The only opinions that matter, he said, are the ones inside the locker room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
