Zombie, was McCarthy being aggressive when he called a run on third-and-10 inside the red zone with the Packers up by double digits?

If the Packers had lost, McCarthy would've been called out for that play. However, given the possibility that our team was stifling the Colts in all aspects of the game, McCarthy realized that 3 points would be satisfactory.

Which goes to another point: how do we know Rodgers didn't change the play to run? If he did, it's hard to say McCarthy got conservative, because technically it was Rodgers that decided to play it safe.

That's my larger point overall, when things are going your way the calls seem perfectly fine. When there is no execution, and you have no rhythm on offense, it is so easy (and unfair, IMO) to put blame on the coach and his play calling.

I read this, and i'm kind of upset that this article among others talk more about how the colts "played bad" as opposed to the Packers playing good.

They had a surprisingly quiet day, though, maybe because it was windy and McCarthy wanted to mostly run and throw short passes.

I think also because the plan was to keep Indy off the field - that's the best defense against them!

Am I the only one who thinks its neat that the Colts and Packers both play the Titans as their next game?

Next week, Colts Titans. Packers on BYE.
Following week, Packers Titans.


I dunno, I thought it was neat. Kind of gives us a good look at the Titans because we are already familiar with the Colts.

I saw comparisons for when we play the Titans I am really worried about stopping their running attack we did give up 75 yds to rhodes. The titans live on the run game and they stuff the run. I have learned if the Packers can run the ball we will win. I sure hope the Bye week helps us and the players show up with excitement to play. I am become a Rodgers believer hope that don't curse him. If anyone has to pass against us i feel sorry for them.
