Packers Legendary QB Lynn Dickey Blasts Coach Matt LaFleur

Matt LaFleur said the Packers were outgained 500-328 and held to 17 rushing yards as criticism grows after a blowout home loss.

  • On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the Green Bay Packers fell 35-14 to the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field in their home opener, marking their first such defeat since 2012.
  • Injuries to key starters like running back Josh Jacobs, combined with 26 penalties over three weeks, have crippled Green Bay's offense, which averages just 48.7 rushing yards per game.
  • Green Bay surrendered 498 total yards to Atlanta while managing just 17 rushing yards on nine carries; boos rained down from the 70,000 fans in attendance throughout the loss.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur called the performance "humbling" and told reporters the team must take "a long, hard look at ourselves" as fan criticism intensifies after the 1-2 start.
  • With extra time before visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, Green Bay faces mounting pressure to reverse its 1-2 start and prevent further erosion of fan support.
