Cardinals put Mike McCarthy, Packers in their place

What were they thinking?: McCarthy left quarterback Aaron Rodgers in game even with the Packers down by 30 points and a patchwork offensive line giving up sacks left and right. Rodgers was sacked eight times – his most since the 2012 Fail May game in Seattle – before McCarthy finally pulled Rodgers in favor of Scott Tolzien with 9:56 left in the game.

It seemed to me that Mike tried to pull Aaron, but Aaron overruled him. If that is the case, then it suggests that Aaron is disobeying Mike's authority. It may also mean that Mike has just plain out lost control of this team, or at least his QB.

One reason to panic: The Packers’ offensive line is as banged up as ever. In addition to playing without starting left tackle David Bakhtiari, the Packers lost starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle) in the second half. That left them with Don Barclay and Josh Walker at the two tackle spots. Walker struggled so much that JC Tretter replaced him at right tackle. Also, right guard T.J. Lang twice limped off the field but managed to return.

So Bakhtiari hasn't practiced since being injured. For all we know he's out for the duration. Now Bulaga also went down. We HAVE no more Ts on this team.

We need a WR to step up and make some big plays.

Ty Montgomery was doing that until he went down. Adams is having a terrible sophomore year.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Whenever this schedule came out I figured this would be tough. Consecutive west coast trips, between Christmas, against good teams. They got killed, I'm not necessarily stunned.

That said, this just reinforces the same talent concerns we've had for months. Aaron is off, lacy is fat, and the wrs are having an epically bad year. There isn't much light for 2016.

“We’ll respond. I’m not concerned with that. I have great belief in our players. This isn’t time for big-picture analysis. The two losses, Denver and here, are ugly. You can’t do negative fundamentals in games like this. Good teams like Arizona make you pay for it,” McCarthy added.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

There are no shocking revelations here. We know what all of our weaknesses are. That is actually what is scary because them being so numerous on the offensive side of the ball will make it easy for great defenses to do this to us. We just got our asses beat by the team I believe to be the best in the NFL. That was a dominating defensive performance and our protection unit was absolutely no match.

That wasn't my intention. I was simply exploring my thoughts regarding today's game.

Hey Mike, the Cardinals Defense gave me and others 40 fantasy points, 9 pts for 9 sacks,,,9 sacks? 1 pt for the INT that Rodgers should have never thrown, 3 pts for 3 fumble recoveries. 3 fumbles? were they intentional?, 2 pts for the 2 td returns, and 8 pts for holding your playoff contenders to a whopping 8pts. Sounds like your contract won't be re-extended with the players quitting on you.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (23h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
