The Falcons are 0-3, drowning in injuries, with no realistic possibility at optimism on the horizon. The Green Bay Packers could not be facing much more of a different outlook. It is year two of Matt LaFleur, Aaron Rodgers is playing some of the best ball in his career, and the Packers are typically one of the best, if not the best, ranked offenses in many categories.
LaFleur, of course, was the quarterback coach during Matt Ryan’s MVP season. The long-time Kyle Shanahan disciple was never interviewed to replace his boss, with the “brain trust” reportedly unimpressed in one of the now-hottest coaches in the NFL.
