The Green Bay Packers didn’t just lose another home game on Monday night; they may have hit a new low. With a season-low seven points on the board, Matt LaFleur’s offensive play-calling is once again under fire, sparking questions about how long he has left to turn things around.
How Hot Is Matt LaFleur’s Seat After the Latest Packers Loss?
The frustration boiled over late in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With a chance to tie, the Packers tried an inside zone run on 2nd-and-1, but the Eagles read it perfectly, stuffing Josh Jacobs for a four-yard loss.
That one play summarized an ugly night. The defending Super Bowl champions left Lambeau Field with a 10-7 win, dropping the Packers to 5-3-1 on the season. Following the game, team insider Matt Schneidman suggested that LaFleur might not be secure in his role for much longer. “I don’t think it’s far-fetched to say Matt LaFleur is coaching for his job the rest of the season,” Schneidman wrote on X.
This growing pressure is no surprise. The Packers entered the season with Super Bowl-caliber hopes, but after years of falling short in big moments, the patience of fans — and possibly the front office — seems to be wearing thin. When asked about the speculation following the loss, LaFleur had to address the chatter surrounding his job. While he deflected the question, the fact that it’s even a topic of conversation speaks volumes about the team’s current state.
“I’ll leave that for everybody else to decide. I’ll just focus on the day-to-day and try to do — I feel like you’re always coaching for everything in this league, you know? That’s just my mindset. It’s always been that way. You can’t ever exhale. You gotta always be pushing. That’s just my mindset and that will be my mindset ’til they tell me not to coach anymore,” LaFleur told the media.
Asked Matt LaFleur if he thinks he’s coaching for his job now:

Despite his focus on the day-to-day, the team’s recurring issues are hard to ignore. The Packers’ run-blocking struggles have plagued them for much of the season, yet LaFleur remains committed to establishing the run — a formula that clearly hasn’t been working. According to PFSN’s Offense Impact metric, the Packers have the No. 8 offense in the league, but Green Bay has scored a combined total of 20 points in its last two games.
There’s no denying that LaFleur is a bright offensive mind. However, he has often been far too conservative with his play-calling, and some believe that relinquishing those duties could be the best way for him to retain his job for a little longer.
Now, the pressure is mounting. With a matchup against the slumping New York Giants up next, the Packers need more than just a win. They need a dominant performance from start to finish to silence the critics and prove they can still be the team they were expected to be.
