On saturday night, the green bay packers were defeated by the san francisco 49ers, owing to anders carlson’s missed 41-yard field goal.
The rookie’s mistake gave the brock purdy-led 49ers the lead with a late-game touchdown, exploiting the packers’ missed opportunity to stretch their lead.
Green bay packers head coach matt lafleur gave a candid account of anders carlson’s performance after the game. Lafleur expressed optimism about carlson’s upcoming success while acknowledging the rookie’s poor season, stressing the importance of consistency. “we’ve just got to work on the consistency,” lafleur said. We’ve seen him do it, we know he’s strong, but you’ve got to be consistent in order to stay in this league,” the coach explained, stressing carlson’s potential and the work required to improve.
Carlson’s inability to maintain consistency has been evident since training camp, bringing a certain amount of patience from the packers staff and fans alike. However, the playoffs were a turning point, with carlson’s poor showing against the 49ers amplifying doubts about his reliability.
Carlson is under mounting pressure to demonstrate why he should keep the packers’ primary kicker position. As the summer approaches, lafleur’s emphasis on consistency puts the rookie’s need for improvement sooner rather than later in the spotlight.
