The Green Bay Packers suffered their worst regular season loss since 2018 on Sunday. The Chicago Bears pulled out a 24-22 victory over Green Bay with a field goal as time expired. The loss was meaningless when it comes to the post-season as the Washington Commanders secured the #6 seed with their win over the Dallas Cowboys.
However, losing to Chicago for the first time in 12 games stung. Especially when head coach Matt LaFleur spoke to the media after.
“Caught Off Guard” Packers Fans Explode Over Matt LaFleur’s Excuse For Loss To Bears (Report)
According to Zach Kruse of USA Today:
Matt LaFleur to Larry McCarren on the end of game:
“That falls on my shoulders.”
Says he got caught off guard during the final sequence before the FG and left the Bears way too much time.
Here is a video of Brandon McManus’ kick that gave Green Bay the lead with just under one minute left in the game:
The Green Bay #Packers picked up K Brandon McManus off the street and he’s hitting clutch 55 yard field goals in negative degree weather, while Jake Moody shanking…, never mind 🫣🥹🫠

Caught off guard? What else did he have to do during the game other than be the Head freaking Coach!

He has proven to be overrated. I wasn’t believing it but it’s starting to show. The team all year never learned from mistakes. Still making dumb penalties. Silly mistakes. Bad play calls wether it is the constant end around to jayden Reed or 2nd and 10 runs. Team always starts…
