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.

Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

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.
