The sneak was called by Aaron, near the end of the game to seal chances of getting a 2 week break for his calf and the team. These situations are early in the game against one of the best defenses in history. Different circumstances.

If Kuhn's elbow touches 3 inches later, there isn't a PEEP about this. Just because it didn't work doesn't make it dumb. We have the benefit of hours to second guess a play. Mike has seconds.

You said it yourself, they were trying to gain a FOOT. No need for cute, just cram it down their throats. It didn't work. That's execution.

This team has been terrible in short yardage running plays under McCarthy. Do something different. If you are going to leave the big boys in, put one of them in motion to have some momentum to be the lead blocker.

He does all kinds of things in the passing game, but he is severely lacking in the run game.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Ok you are 4th and goal on the 6 inch line, and yet the HC kicks a FG? I don't get it. One would think by now, after all the 3rd and 1 blunders through out the season, that MM would have a special back field line up. Like having Daniels or another big lineman leading the way. If they go for it and don't make it, Wilson is probably starting the drive standing in the end zone. It's MM's mo for not going for the jugular.

On two consecutive plays the Packers tried to gain 6 inches and couldn't. We had additional OL in there, who practice blocking. Daniels doesn't.

Going into the onside kick, those FGs were enough to win the game.

I was busy celebrating after the 1st 1/2 with my wife thinking it was in the bag - came back to watch the breakdown. No way did I think they could do that many mess ups.

2 point conversion, bostick, burnett, conservative play calling and like someone said about the patriots (which they always do) - thats how you finish games. How many times have we been up to let off the break to; lose the game or have to try really hard to just get ahead again.

that game made me think of a movie I watched recently - about the most winninest coach in football history. Im pretty sure he didnt teach mediocrity and to just try to skate by mentality to his players.

Besides all that the biggest F-up for this game is that my wife changed my kids clothes to his PJ's. From a packers tee to a blue/turquise pjs (which are more like seattles colors). Threw a packers bib on near the end of the game but that wasnt enough. Forget MM and bostick - it was taking off my kids packers T.

Best defense since possibly the 85 bears. Couldn't get 1 yard two consecutive plays, so let's risk sure points?

Bostic catches a ball that hits him in the face and we likely don't have this to discuss...but let's continue to overlook player accountability

Against a team like this you take any points when you can get them.

Our HC is gutless..........how many times has he went for the fg when he was inside the 5 yd line?

If you re-watch what transpired during the final few minutes of yesterday's game it was just one of those moments where everything falls into place against an entity where the eventual outcome is inevitable. Call it karma, call it kismet, fate, or momentum.

Green Bay is solid, they'll be back.

And McCarthy is a good coach[rockon]

How does a HC get held accountable? Take away his playcalling duties?
