His WRs were terrible in the first half of the season. Watch any GB game in the first 6-8 weeks; his WRs were getting bullied on their routes and getting jammed at the line, so they were unable to get open on time, and weren't where they were supposed to be nearly every snap. Watson eventually learned to fight through his routes so he would at least be where he was supposed to be, but he still needs a lot of work. Lazard, well, I was never that impressed with Lazard. He's like a less capable version of JJSS.
LaFleur's offensive play-calling might have been part of the problem as well. But you can watch those early games and no one's getting open and Watson is getting pushed around on nearly every route. That much is obvious.
