“We need to run this sh*t out,” Aaron Rodgers engages in heated and furious argument with Matt LaFleur over HC’s horrible play-calling
Follow Us
The Green Bay Packers have had severe chemistry issues since the start of the season as Aaron Rodgers and HC Matt LaFleur are not on the same page over various decisions.
This lack of chemistry didn’t hold them back as the Packers managed to get a win against the Dallas Cowboys after losing for 5 games straight but it was pretty evident when late in the fourth quarter Rodgers and HC LaFleur got into a war of words and disagreement could be seen on the reigning Super Bowl MVPs face.
The Packers held possession of the ball late in the fourth quarter with 1.38 still left to play, the score was tied and after one incomplete pass and two runs, the Packers decided to punt the ball away from their half. Rodgers was dissapointed with this decision and made his feelings known when he went toward the sideline.
“Just every single play call probably,” Aaron Rodgers said, per USA Today’s Ryan Wood. “Felt like we were 30 yards from winning the game in regulation.”
Packers Matt LaFleur was asked about the same thing after the game and the HC had a completely different reaction. “A lot of times when we get in those situations, we give Aaron a lot of freedom to run the show. Today, he does a great job with it. So hindsight is 20–20. That’s on me,” Matt LaFleur said, per Wood.
NFL Twitter picks side between Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur amidst their verbal disagreement
The Packers were victorious against the Cowboys but that doesn’t mean Aaron Rodgers was satisfied with the result. A-Rod wanted to finish the game during regulation time but HC Matt LaFleur made a conventional play that saw them lose possession but helped the team get into OT.
We can’t say who was wrong and right but NFL Twitter surely did that work for us. Ever since the clip of Rodgers shouting at LaFleur went viral, people started to pick sides on who was right and who was wrong. Surprisingly, most of them leaned towards the Packers QB as they thought he was right.
Many users also tried to decipher what the QB was saying by reading his lips, this led to some amazing reactions from NFL Twitter and extremely funny memes.
Aaron Rodgers always becomes a meme even after slight mishaps in the game. Though Rodgers won’t lose any sleep over it as the Packers have found good momentum after winning against the Cowboys and will continue this run in their next game.
