Matt LaFleur hates the Green Bay Packers schedule during the preseason and he knows exactly who to blame for it.
Per ESPN reporter Rob Demovsky, the Green Bay Packers head coach took issue with the team not getting back from its Week 1 game against the 49ers until 5 AM.
“Thank you league,” LaFleur said. “It’s a long season and it can take a toll on you. It messes your clock up for the next couple days.”
LaFleur added that he would prefer regional games in the preseason to avoid these kinds of situations in the future.
During that 28-21 loss, Packers backup Jordan Love tossed 3 interceptions while 49ers second-year QB Trey Lance looked sharp in the preseason opener, finishing 4-for-5 with 91 yards and a touchdown.
Following the game, Green Bay’s coach defended Love’s performance.

We’ve just got to clean up everything around him. … But I was pleased with Jordan’s performance.”
