The Green Bay Packers knew that a win in week 18 would increase their chances to climb to the sixth seed in the NFC. Although beating the Chicago Bears for the 12th consecutive time was a nice second goal, staying healthy was priority number one.
As it turns out, they couldn’t do either. Green Bay suffered brutal injuries to Christian Watson and Jordan Love.

Even before Chicago’s game winning kick went through the uprights, Green Bay fans were ready to move on from Matt LaFleur:
Does Matt LaFleur not trust Jordan Love to throw the ball?
Because that’s how it has felt since the bye week with his play-calling.

People want to fire Matt LaFleur and start Malik Willis.
Just another normal day on Packers Twitter.

Packers were fingertips away from going 0-6 against the division. Matt LaFleur is a fraud who will never win anything here. Packers should fire him but won’t because he’s a regular season merchant.
Embarrassing team.
