Matt LaFleur is flirting with disaster even while Packers keep winning

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expressed frustration with the team's offense at halftime of their Week 2 victory over the Washington Commanders. Taking a 14-3 lead to the break, he wasn't satisfied, citing self-inflicted wounds that resulted in points being left on the board.

Nonetheless, the irony is that shortcomings fall primarily on him, especially considering the stubborn unwillingness to unleash rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden.

Golden, the organization's first first-round wideout since Javon Walker in 2002, was virtually nonexistent in Green Bay's 27-18 Thursday Night Football defeat of the Commanders.
