Cardinals put Mike McCarthy, Packers in their place

What were they thinking?: McCarthy left quarterback Aaron Rodgers in game even with the Packers down by 30 points and a patchwork offensive line giving up sacks left and right. Rodgers was sacked eight times – his most since the 2012 Fail May game in Seattle – before McCarthy finally pulled Rodgers in favor of Scott Tolzien with 9:56 left in the game.

It seemed to me that Mike tried to pull Aaron, but Aaron overruled him. If that is the case, then it suggests that Aaron is disobeying Mike's authority. It may also mean that Mike has just plain out lost control of this team, or at least his QB.

One reason to panic: The Packers’ offensive line is as banged up as ever. In addition to playing without starting left tackle David Bakhtiari, the Packers lost starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle) in the second half. That left them with Don Barclay and Josh Walker at the two tackle spots. Walker struggled so much that JC Tretter replaced him at right tackle. Also, right guard T.J. Lang twice limped off the field but managed to return.

So Bakhtiari hasn't practiced since being injured. For all we know he's out for the duration. Now Bulaga also went down. We HAVE no more Ts on this team.

We need a WR to step up and make some big plays.

Ty Montgomery was doing that until he went down. Adams is having a terrible sophomore year.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Whenever this schedule came out I figured this would be tough. Consecutive west coast trips, between Christmas, against good teams. They got killed, I'm not necessarily stunned.

That said, this just reinforces the same talent concerns we've had for months. Aaron is off, lacy is fat, and the wrs are having an epically bad year. There isn't much light for 2016.

“We’ll respond. I’m not concerned with that. I have great belief in our players. This isn’t time for big-picture analysis. The two losses, Denver and here, are ugly. You can’t do negative fundamentals in games like this. Good teams like Arizona make you pay for it,” McCarthy added.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

There are no shocking revelations here. We know what all of our weaknesses are. That is actually what is scary because them being so numerous on the offensive side of the ball will make it easy for great defenses to do this to us. We just got our asses beat by the team I believe to be the best in the NFL. That was a dominating defensive performance and our protection unit was absolutely no match.

Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

That wasn't my intention. I was simply exploring my thoughts regarding today's game.

Hey Mike, the Cardinals Defense gave me and others 40 fantasy points, 9 pts for 9 sacks,,,9 sacks? 1 pt for the INT that Rodgers should have never thrown, 3 pts for 3 fumble recoveries. 3 fumbles? were they intentional?, 2 pts for the 2 td returns, and 8 pts for holding your playoff contenders to a whopping 8pts. Sounds like your contract won't be re-extended with the players quitting on you.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
