I don't know about gutless, but clueless on short yardage and goal line offense I would agree. Come out heavy with 7 olineman and try to ram it in once, but twice in a row was stupid. After Kuhn missed, spread the defense out and let Rodgers try a sneak from the 6 inch line.

McCarthy can draw up some good passing plays, but his ability to scheme a creative run game is crap.

I agree with what you guys are saying about Mike McCarthy as a HC, but to say this loss is on him is ridiculous.

We're so eager to find someone to blame. You're trying to gain 12 inches. This isn't rocket science. Put in some bulldozers and hope for the best. We were out bulldozed, that's it. You'd sure as shit hope your offensive line can pull it off, and they didn't. Such is life, move on. The Packers still could have won despite this.

If the players weren't any good, it would be one thing. But he's got talent to work with. It's just that these are talented players who are shitting themselves.

And I'm sorry, but that IS on the coach.

...have anything to do with coaching. I don't want to hear something about "shitting themselves" or precedence. What was Mike supposed to do to prevent those plays or what, specifically, did he do to CAUSE those plays, each of which very likely could have sealed a Packer victory.

As I said, after going heavy and missing, lining up the same an the only difference being giving the ball to the RB rather than FB is not being creative. Take Tretter and Taylor back out, spread the defense and put Rodgers in shotgun. Teams normally don't line a player up head on the C when Rodgers is in shotgun. So have Rodgers move up like he is calling out a change in protection, only to slip back under C and take a quick snap for a sneak. He only needed to get a foot.

Why don't you throw in the 10 points Rodgers left on the field in that list too: two picks in field goal range and the wide errant pass to Jordy for another 4 points. I understand he is our best player, but he is not exempt from criticism. At the end of the day, blame goes to the coach, always!
