@MatthewMKE98 His first season from the Houston Texans game on I thought he was doing a bunch of different stuff to generate pressures and turnovers and was awesome. He was pretty meh after the Micah trade I thought.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@Peter_Bukowski So the plan is to rely on one play for an entire position group to be “fine”?

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@AaronNagler So why doesn’t the head coach lean into him more? 🤷🏻‍♂️
Am in total agreement here that Love is the guy. Just doesn’t really feel like the coach coaches like he is.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@smboettch @AndyHermanNFL Yeah. That was still in the old playoff rules where the top 2 teams got byes. They beat Seattle in 2019 and lost the nfc championship. They beat the rams in 2020 and lost to the bucs in the nfc championship. They have never won more than 1 playoff game in a season.

@zacobson This is a good one, but the Javon Bullard near interception vs. Giants where McDuffie just absolutely lays him out and breaks up the pass is what comes to mind for me.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@wendellfp You might see some minor improvement with a new coordinator and voice. But until they find a decent/competent returner, and a kicker that can make meaningful kicks. Expect more of the same.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@AaronNagler I honestly see both sides. The snow games are fun and outdoor winter games are a great aesthetic. But it’s also nice just watching the games play out without dealing with any other elements, like I’m happy to watch JSN today just run his routes without dealing with snow.

@jasonjwilde @WISCTV_News3 Ok, so send a draft pick to the Seahawks. I’m sure there were ways to make it work.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@mattschneidman “Now that Matt lafleur has signed his extension and my job will be covering him, I’ll now say that this is a great decision!”

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@itsjustChrisnow He doesn’t even make those plays in the game if Melton doesn’t get hurt in Minnesota. Crazy thing to say, but i think it’s true.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@jasonjwilde More and more stats come out from this season that should point to lafleur being out.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@AndyHermanNFL If bo melton doesn’t get hurt in the Vikings game, do we even have the Matthew golden moments we had last night?

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@evthered1 @AaronNagler The Golden experience in itself is a fireable offense! You literally spammed targets for Bo melton all season while he sat on the bench and/or didn’t get targeted. If Bo melton doesn’t get hurt in the Vikings game, I bet the Matthew golden stuff we saw yesterday doesn’t happen.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@zachkruse2 @TomSilverstein @BillHuberNFL What’s going to change next season if he’s still the coach?

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@RossUglem I can’t think of a more uninspired thing to do than to keep MLF for next season and beyond.

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@JuMosq He’s never been a great pass rusher. Fans clinged to that quote from the old linebackers coach who said something about pressures being more important than sacks and then a just kept pointing at his pressure numbers as proof to how great he is. He’s never had double digit sacks

[Brian McDonnell AP @brianmac_AP]

@TylerHerrick And he even talked about how it should be a priority! Went into detail about how they have done studies and hall of fame trajectory WRs are worth giving third contracts to. The only thing I can think of is if the Bakhtiari contract/situation scared him away from it.
