I just want to say that it sure seemed like our defense played better without the money guys in there. This Loss was all on the offense. Also time to dump Hundley he cannot throw anything over 5 yards accurate.

I need to first stipulate that Hundley seriously struggles on mid-deep throws and he has a very low bar... that being said... until the Packers got desperate late (and Hundley was badly missing)... that might of been Hundley's best job throwing passes to mid-deep range... as a number of them were hitting the WRs/TE hands... but they kept dropping them. But that might be the most mid level passes, that I've seen Hundley get to the WR/TE hands... it was a better than average day from him.
so why did Mike McCarthy keep calling plays for deep passes?

The refs weirdly put that one on Hawkins, but refused to call the one later on Clark, which looked worse....
Because he's too stubborn to change!
We have seen that over and over through the years.
