The Green Bay Packers are 5-6 entering the month of December, and it has been the kindest month to head coach Matt LaFleur throughout his NFL coaching career. In 15 games in the month of December, he has a 15-0 record and they will be playing five games in the month of December.
Entering this month, they are the eighth seed in the NFC, and they trail the Seattle Seahawks (6-5) for the final Wild Card spot in the NFC. For this month, Green Bay and head coach Matt LaFleur will have a favorable schedule to do some damage potentially.
It will start with this Sunday night at home against a very tough Kansas City Chiefs (8-3) football team. After that, they will be on the road against the New York Giants on Monday night 12/11 (4-8), at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday 12/17 (4-7), on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday 12/24 (1-10), and on the road against the rivals Minnesota Vikings on Sunday 12/31 in primetime (6-5).
They may not go undefeated in this stretch, but they can very well go 3-2 and 4-1. If that is the case, that could very well put them in a spot to make the playoffs as a wild-card team in the NFC this season. For head coach Matt LaFleur, yes, it is about winning every game and trying to go undefeated once again in December.
However, what needs to happen is that they win the games they are supposed to win and make sure quarterback Jordan Love continues to ascend in his development. He has been playing well over the last couple of weeks.
Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur Will Be Under a Lot of Fire If They Don’t Win the Games They are Supposed To
The Packers fanbase has scrutinized head coach Matt LaFleur this season various times. If they were to lose to the Giants, Panthers, and Buccaneers in which they will all be favored, there will be some very upset fans. The Chiefs and the Vikings will be tough games to win and won’t be favored in those contests.
A lot will happen in December for the Packers. They will be in the wild card race in the NFC like they were a season ago before losing to the Detroit Lions in Week 18, which ultimately eliminated them from playoff contention. Green Bay also hopes to take care of business this time around during the holiday season.
