MM is not getting fired, nor should he.
The topic is almost as dumb as the Aaron Rodgers trading.
Every aspect of the Packers looked like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag, but this is still a 10 win team that was 3:53 from the SB 11 months ago.
"Oh, but this team is NEVER mentally prepared." Well Pittsburgh just "shit themselves" today along with Carolina, New England, and Seattle. All HAD been hot and had something to play for. Lets fire Mike McCarthy so we can pick up those coaches who will be fired today too.

Every aspect was bad? It was 10-0, 1 minute left in half, we had ball at 15 and we're getting ball to start 2nd half. I wonder if you and I were watching the same game.
I saw 52 guys come out FIRED up and brilliantly prepared. Take away Capers' idiotic thinking that Ryan could cover Johnson and the D was brilliant; not Packer '66 brilliant; but playing as well as they can. When an O is bad; typically a successful fake punt or INT at 15 stokes the O. How do you think the second half would have gone; If Aaron Rodgers hits the TD or just doesn't get STUPID and it's 10-3 at halftime?
The INT, took the wind from the team's sails and the Starks fumbles trying to do too much was like taking an axe to the main sail; then the entire team gave up.
Focus on the 1st Q of games if you want to see the problem; you can see the plays that have been practiced over and over or scripted. One was a 3rd and 5, Lacy runs on 2nd, all 11 guys jump to Line and are ready to go. AZ is 100% lost, Aaron Rodgers has a quick arrow route set up to Adams on right; but Aaron Rodgers spends a half an hour setting the protections and changing the protections as AZ is milling around lost. If Aaron Rodgers goes to line and snaps the ball, there'd be no pressure, several guys will be open. Aaron Rodgers takes his time, AZ gets set, an opportunity is lost, but maybe Aaron Rodgers needed the time. But then like Sanchez on his worst day, Aaron Rodgers sails the ball over the head of a wide OPEN Adams-wait I thought the receivers were always covered? 😂 I just cant imagine why ANYONE would parrot such a lie.
This is why we dont score in the 1st Q anymore. These scripted plays have the other 10 guys executing typically to perfection and it becomes 100% apparent; who the problem is. This is not about Aaron Rodgers just missing a throw; there is no physical excuse; this is Aaron Rodgers not mentally prepared to play the effing game and his mates are growing weary of it.
This is a very easy issue: if Aaron Rodgers is not reigned-in to play within the offense; Mike McCarthy will lose the team. Three choices presently exist: (1) reign-in AR, like bench his sorry a$$ or something; (2) Cut/trade AR; or (3) get a new coach that can hopefully reign-in Aaron Rodgers or that Aaron Rodgers will play for.
