Did LaFleur Misunderstand “Finishing”? Packers O-Line Changes & Can They Bounce Back?

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Jason Wilde continue dissecting the Packers’ collapse in Minnesota and Matt LaFleur’s decision to take three points off the board. Wilde believes LaFleur’s offseason obsession with “finishing” may have actually influenced him to become overly aggressive on fourth-and-one. With Green Bay’s defense controlling Carson Wentz and the crowd quiet, Wilde argues that finishing the game meant understanding the situation and protecting an eight-point lead, not simply going for the knockout punch. Wilde also provides new insight into Green Bay’s offensive line decisions, including why Donovan Jennings surprisingly started over rookie Jagger Burton despite Burton receiving most of the first-team work during Aaron Banks’ training camp absences. Wilde wouldn’t be surprised if Burton gets the next opportunity at left guard or if Anthony Belton begins competing with Jacob Monk at right guard as the Packers search for answers before facing the Jets. Plus, Homer opens the phones with a simple rule: you get 30 seconds to fix the Packers. Fans unload on LaFleur’s adjustments, the offensive line, Green Bay’s repeated late-game collapses and whether the head coach needs someone helping him manage games.
