As for Mike, this is what he is all about. I've been complaining about it for years, and you all defend him by saying, IT'S OK IF WE SHIT OURSELVES. WE WON ANYWAY. And when we don't, you say IT'S OK IF WE LOST. WE WON IT ALL FIVE YEARS AGO.

This game is a prime example of why you play fundamentally sound football.

We're nitpicking every detail through glasses tinted with Mike McCarthy disgust. As I've said repeatedly over the past two days, it blows my mind that more blame isn't directed towards the people truly responsible for what transpires on the field - the players.

Quarless drop on a 3rd down convo in the 4th Q, Rogers/Jordy miss in endzone, Starks drop at the 5, Lacy drop on screen, two picks in FG range, Peppers/Burnett giving up AT LEAST 10 + yards, Bostick, and the 2 pt convo. You could argue at least 1, and maybe up to 3 of those cost the Packers a TD and they are not MM's fault. These are things that directly affect the outcome of the game and we're glossing over them so we can find an easier scapegoat.

There is all kinds of debate that can be had about situational play calling and coaching.

In no particular order...

Denver SB
Owens Catch
4th and 26
Burt's OT pick
Sunday

All could be examples of "shitting themselves." Is this "shitting yourself" epidemic unique just to Mike McCarthy?

If Cobb drops the ball, or Kuhn misses the Peppers block v. the Bears last year the play call is completely irrelevant. The execution matters, and I just listed 8 or so OBVIOUS and simple execution flaws that easily could have changed the game.
