Despite Recent Losses, LaFleur Believes Fixing Communication Issues is Key to Reviving Playoff Hopes

  • Green Bay Packers' head coach Matt LaFleur has decided to keep Joe Barry as defensive coordinator despite recent poor performances from the team's defense.
  • LaFleur has committed to taking a bigger role in assisting the Packers' defense, which has been struggling to maintain its playoff hopes.
  • The Packers have suffered losses in their last two games due to their inability to stop New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.
  • LaFleur believes the Packers' immediate concern is to fix the communication problems on defense that have been a significant issue in recent games.
  • The Packers (6-8) likely must win their remaining three games and receive plenty of help to reach the playoffs.
