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 Mike McCarthy 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 Mike McCarthy 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?

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (19m) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (28m) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (39m) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (1h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (3h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (3h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (3h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (4h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (4h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (4h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (4h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (4h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (4h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (4h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (4h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (4h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (4h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (4h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (4h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (4h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (5h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
packerfanoutwest (5h) : falcons are already ahead of us
beast (5h) : Packers will get in
beast (5h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
packerfanoutwest (5h) : they still are in the playoffs
packerfanoutwest (5h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7
Zero2Cool (6h) : We can say it. We don't play.
Mucky Tundra (8h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints
Mucky Tundra (8h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.
buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan
beast (18h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings
bboystyle (18h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in
Mucky Tundra (21h) : Or ties, but let's be real here
Mucky Tundra (21h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses
Mucky Tundra (21h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch
buckeyepackfan (22h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?
