The Packers defense is bad and it’s a coaching problem. I’m sure you’re used to it. The team’s cumulative defensive pff grade is tied for third best in the league. Meanwhile, it ranks 21st in defensive DVOA, 16th in yards per play given up, 18th in EPA, and first in most times lining up 10…
You could’ve argued that Matt Lafleur deserved to win coach of the year in either of the last two seasons. In 2019, he turned around a losing team and got them to the NFC championship game. Sure, there was some luck involved. In 2020, that team got even better and was dominant enough to earn…
