Agreed. I disagree with the notion that Mike McCarthy needs to be some rah rah cheerleader.
Belichick displays about as many emotions as roadkill while on the sidelines but nobody bitches about his demeanor.
Clearly the whole operation is struggling right now, but the players are on the field. James Jones could get separation from his pet turtle right now, Cobb and Adams treated the ball like a hot potato numerous times yesterday, Aaron is skipping 5 yards passes to Kuhn's feet, and Bulaga/Bacteria couldn't stop a crash test dummy right now. These are players who within the past 12 months (if not more recently) haven't played like this. M.M. holding pom poms or swearing like a sailor on the sideline won't get Crosby to kick a field goal attempt further than 35 yards.
I'm not excusing M.M. or anyone - but the lack of a Jim Harbaugh-esque meltdown isn't the reason for this swoon.
