Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers suffered one of their most disappointing defeats of the 2025 season, falling 16-13 to the Carolina Panthers in a game that left fans furious. Despite entering the matchup as clear favorites, the Packers struggled offensively.
The loss dropped Green Bay to 5-2-1 on the season, tarnishing what had been one of the league’s best records heading into Week 9. It wasn’t just the scoreline that stung, it was the lack of execution and energy from a team expected to dominate.
Jordan Love and the offense sputtered, while the defense gave up multiple big plays, including a 49-yard game-winning drive by Carolina. The performance raised serious concerns about leadership and consistency under LaFleur.
Fans immediately took to social media to vent their frustrations, calling for major changes and demanding accountability from the head coach.
“Matt LaFleur had better be gone TOMORROW,” a fan wrote.

“I’ve lost a lot of confidence in Matt LaFleur this season. His teams frequently play down to the competition, his play calling is consistently poor, and he makes poor decisions in key situations. I would not be shocked to see Policy seek to move on from him unless we make a deep run in the playoffs,” a fan wrote.
“I am convinced Matt LaFleur is a better hockey player than he is a coach. Tomlin, KOC, Reid, and many more are undefeated with this Packer team. What are we doing?” A fan wrote.
“Matt LaFleur is officially a problem and any Packers fans telling you otherwise is not being honest with themselves,” a fan wrote.
“Fire Matt LaFleur please,” a fan wrote.
The Packers began the year with championship aspirations, but this latest stumble has intensified doubts about whether LaFleur is still the right man for the job.
Will the Packers Fire Matt LaFleur?
LaFleur’s game management and conservative play-calling have come under heavy criticism this season, especially in tight contests. For a team loaded with talent, the repeated breakdowns in crucial moments have become too frequent to ignore.
LaFleur’s future in Green Bay is now under serious scrutiny. While the team still holds a strong record, ownership and upper management have made it clear that this season is being closely evaluated.
With no contract extension finalized before the year, LaFleur effectively entered 2025 in a make-or-break situation. Another loss or two in the coming weeks could push the Packers toward major changes. However, Green Bay isn’t a franchise known for midseason firings.
For now, LaFleur remains in charge, but every game from this point forward will be viewed as a test of whether he deserves to keep leading one of football’s most storied franchises.
