Kind of apples and oranges. Cowher's teams were always consistent. McCarthy's team has been more inconsistent than anything else. I see more John Fox or Jack Del Rio in McCarthy than I do Cowher.

McCarthy's teams have had consistently ranked top-10 offenses (yeah, yeah, it's not workin' too well this year).

Cowher also got them close to the promise land several times and couldn't push it in. In the event McCarthy's Packers make the playoffs but not a Super Bowl, I doubt we'd let him stick around.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Bill Cowher's teams were consistent in the sense that he lead them to the playoffs 10 out of the 15 years he was in Pittsburgh. However, those years were not without their wrinkles.

They went 9-7 twice (1993 and 2000).

They went 8-8 once (2006).

They went 7-9 once (1998).

They went 6-10 twice (1999 and 2003).

They appeared in two Super Bowls during that 15-year period (1995 and 2005), winning one (2005).

Let me say that again. They won one Super Bowl in 15 years -- Cowher's second-to-last year in Pittsburgh!

All you people clamoring for Bill Cowher make me laugh. Would you accord him that same patience you currently refuse to give Mike McCarthy?

McCarthy's gone? Is he injured, too?

The playcalling is not the problem. It's the execution. How many dropped passes today?

The only playcalling I have a problem with is the damned Hail Mary's before halftime. I absolutely hate that. If you're down by more than 2 TDs then sure, go ahead. Otherwise, run a friggin' draw play.

Don't get me wrong - I'm pissed we lost today, but I can't blame this on McCarthy.

Look, I'm not calling for McCarthy's head or anything. However, I think Cowher is a Hall of Fame coach. McCarthy isn't. Maybe he is later on, but certainly he has to accomplish a lot before we mention him in the same mold as Cowher. I would hope he feels the same way.

For the record, I'm talking wins and losses. McCarthy has gone 8-8, 13-3, 6-10, 11-5 and now 3-2 right now. Personally, Green Bay looks like a seven or eight win team right now. Who knows what could happen.

Cowher coached the Steelers to six AFC Championship games and two Super Bowls.

His teams went to the playoffs 10 times, including six consecutive times at the start of his tenure there.

He also had multiple non-winning seasons. But yes, his record of six consecutive trips to the playoffs at the beginning of his career is almost unparalleled in NFL history. I think only one other coach has done it.

All of you Steelers fans on this board who want Cowher should keep in mind he was with the Steelers for 13 years before a Super Bowl win. So, in that case maybe we should give McCarthy 9 more years.

Also, I hate every single one of you who wants Mike McCarthy gone at the beginning of every season.

I hate it when they look like crap at the beginning of every season. And usually at the beginning of every game too. Today, for instance.

My point wasn't to say McCarthy is a poor coach, but rather to point out that Cowher is a great head coach. He's probably top five of the last 20 years.

The guys I've compared McCarthy to aren't bad coaches. John Fox has been in the Super Bowl as well as two NFC Championship games. He's not a bad coach and his team is 0-5 right now. But he's not Bill Cowher and neither is Mike McCarthy. Doesn't mean McCarthy can't be Cowher like one day. I am much more skeptical of him now than I was going into the season though.

With that said, McCarthy does learn from what transpires early in the season well. He then takes that information and uses it to utilize appropriate game plans for the final stretch. It is frustrating though that it takes him awhile to figure it out.

I hope your right. That streak last year seemed to be the players rallying around him more than anything else.

Jeff Tedford should replace McCarthy.

dfosterf (8m) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
