""I've said it a million times to you guys -- I don't think I've obviously said it enough to our team -- the goal is to go 1-0 every week," LaFleur said Monday. "And it pisses me off when we start talking about things outside of the next game. Things that are way down the road. Like, focus on, keep the focus on the present, on the now, and worry about getting better each and every day.""
""I think it's always a good reminder, like, 'Hey guys, pump the brakes on everything. We're just trying to win one game at a time,'" LaFleur said. "And if you're thinking [like that] or have your sights set on anything outside of that, I think you're focused on the wrong things. Like, we've got to be focused on trying to get better. Obviously today, the focus is on first of all being honest about the tape and what the tape says, and then learning from that, and then it's moving on.""
Matt LaFleur expressed frustration after the Packers' 13-10 loss in Cleveland and criticized offseason optimism after a 2-0 start. Left tackle Rasheed Walker had said, "I think we can go undefeated, honestly," and later declined comment after the loss. LaFleur repeatedly emphasized a one-game-at-a-time approach, urging players to focus on the present, clean up mistakes, and learn from the film. He demanded honesty about the tape and improvement each day. The team had started with wins over Detroit and Washington but failed to sustain that momentum in the upset loss.
