Made me laugh when I read this, nerdmann...if we didn't have 🇲🇲 holding us back, why, we could be 5-0 right now...

I agree with the comments above. MM's offense has done a terrific job of keeping the defenses off-balance this year. He appears to be more aggressive toward the end of the games. The dealing with injuries (Bulaga, Clifton, etc) and having the replacements ready to go, even in positions that aren't their primary (Sherrod at RT?). Says a lot about the coaching staff AND the players themselves.

However, I've also been impressed by his ability to adjust. Last night was a good example with the Clifton injury so he utilized the TEs for more protection and quick screens/slants. Then as he saw Sherrod was holding his own he switched back to 4 and 5 wr sets which was when we saw the big gain to James Jones and the offense really open up.

I think you know the answer to that question. Adversity tests a team’s mettle. Chuck Noll liked to say it fires the steel. I’ve heard other coaches say adversity galvanizes a team. It tests its unity, its bond. Is there any quit in anybody? Who shall lead us through this storm? The Packers have a few major personalities, Aaron Rodgers and Charles Woodson immediately come to mind, that are so accomplished and esteemed at their craft that they engender in their teammates calm and confidence that if they just focus on doing their job, Rodgers and Woodson will lead the team to safe harbor. It’s a wonderful feeling. Strong families have that feeling; they believe in their mothers and fathers. Mike McCarthy is a real family man and he has a noticeable pride for overcoming adversity. He revels in it. He loves to talk about it in press conferences. Maybe even moreso than from Rodgers and Woodson, the Packers draw their calm and confidence from their coach. I think we need to start considering that possibility.
