For the first time since being named head coach of the Green Bay Packers back in January, Matt LaFleur is peeved.
LaFleur has been peppered with questions all offseason about his relationship with Aaron Rodgers, as Rodgers had some seemingly negative things to say about his lack of freedom in calling audibles at the line of scrimmage in LaFleur's offense.
However, since then, it appears that the two have ironed things out, with LaFleur recently stating that Rodgers has the autonomy to call audibles whenever he wants.
But after being asked another question about audibles on Tuesday, LaFleur had had enough:
“You guys will just not stop with this audible thing. It’s unbelievable,” said a clearly irritated LaFleur, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. “What do you want me to say? … It’s comical to me.”
LaFleur has a point.
After a while, it must get tired of being asked questions about the same topic over and over again, even if they are phrased a bit differently. It seems like he and Rodgers have put it behind them, so it's probably time fans and the media begin to do the same thing.
The Packers are coming off of a very disappointing 2018 campaign in which they went 6-9-1, marking the first time since 2006 that Green Bay missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
But thanks to a busy offseason in which the Packers made significant changes to their coaching staff and revamped their defense, some feel that Green Bay is a Super Bowl contender heading into 2019.
The Packers will open up their season against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.
