A humiliating home defeat has left the Green Bay Packers reeling.

There's a world where Matt LaFleur doesn't have a job with the Green Bay Packers much longer.

This organization has already given him so many chances to prove himself, so the question is, why would they make any changes now?

The Atlanta Falcons just obliterated the Packers at home, 35-14, in a game this fanbase would love to forget by tomorrow morning.

This loss ended a streak of 13 straight home opening victories for Green Bay, causing them to fall one short of the all-time record.

It seemed like such a promising start when they intercepted Michael Penix Jr. on the opening drive, but things would only go downhill from there.

Despite jumping out to a 7-0 lead a few drives later, the Packers would quickly realize they somehow didn't have what it takes to compete with a previously 0-2 Falcons squad.

Bijan Robinson's impressive night showed just how many flaws there still are in this defense, and a few questionable decisions will leave everyone questioning LaFleur's future.

Green Bay's offense has never looked worse

Jordan Love had to throw the ball 53 times in this game. Most fans will be able to tell you that's not a winning formula, especially when you consider the fact that the Packers only ran the ball nine times for 17 yards.

Keep in mind, Robinson had 194 rushing yards himself. Robinson had 213 total yards, which was roughly 100 yards fewer than the Packers had as a team.

Matthew Golden was the lone bright spot on offense, though Christian Watson deserves his flowers as well.

This offensive line has done Love no favors, and somehow they've set him back years. In no world should the Packers be 1-3 knowing they played the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, and Falcons, but here they are.

This game could've been 27-20 in the third quarter

One of the biggest "what-ifs" in this game stems from the fourth-down play call in the third quarter. Had an earlier field goal not been blocked, and had GB just taken the points on that possession, this would've been a one-score game with plenty of time remaining.

Obviously, that wouldn't have mattered as this secondary let Drake London finish with 194 receiving yards on nine receptions.

This loss was as bad as it gets. The Packers have officially hit rock bottom, and it's impossible to put all the blame on LaFleur, but some drastic changes need to be made in order for this season to be saved, if it's not already too late.
