The Packers are struggling, and head coach Mike McCarthy has predictably come under fire as a result. But Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that McCarthy is not likely to lose his job, and while there has been significant conversation about McCarthy's relationship with Aaron Rodgers, La Canfora writes that the two men share [...]

I would view getting rid of Ted as a huge mistake. Alot of these defensive players that don't fit our system were requested by our DC, just as those "smaller, quicker" Olinemen were once requested by our HC.

Aaron needs to start getting the ball out in under 2.5, preferably to the open guy.

That's what needs to change.

But I thought Aaron was "self-shitting" to go against Mike?!?! XD.

Or they are adults who know how to handle things. However, if Mike is going to stay then we need new blood to help rejuvenate the Packers scheme. I know it isn't popular to Packers fans, but Edgar Bennett needs to go if Mike stays.

The Dunne article sheds light on why McCarthy nor Thompson were ever going anywhere, unless by choice.

GB was a decent team with a great QB; now there a decent team with a great QB, who with warning, turned to complete crap on the field after a 2015 bye week. There's no one to blame for this except headcase Rodgers. McCarthy turned Crosby around, has any coach ever done that? Zimmer couldn't fix Walsh; Stave Sax couldn't be fixed by his coaches; no manager has fixed Jon Lester being able to throw to first; no one could get Tony Coligniero not to be afraid of a pitch or Jim Eisenrich to be afraid of a crowd

McCarthy cant be faulted for not being able to motivate a sociopathic messiah complexed narcissist. And Thompson cant be faulted for devoting 1/7 of the cap on him.

Of course, when he ask is it Rodgers or McCarthy fault for any personal problem between them, it's definitely Rodgers.

The smart move is to make a John Hadl trade.

When do Packers fans admit to overvaluing the talent on this team? When you are picking perennially in the 20's of every draft, your talent level will go down over time. Which is why you need a splash free agency signing occassionally.

Now, on to the coaching staff - what a fucking mess is about all I can say. If you shitcan Capers, do you scrap the 3-4? Or keep Capers and give him the linebackers he needs.

Eliot recently got promoted to his new position of "director-football operations" which basically means GM

Compare Eliot's new title, Director–Football Operations, to part of Ted Thompson title.
Executive Vice President, General Manager & Director of Football Operations

Eliot basically already has the job, he just doesn't have the full title yet, as they're probably putting the finishing touches on grooming him. Also Thompson was the most talkative after this last draft, than I've ever seen him, and Eliot has been getting to talk more and more to the media post selection of a player, on why the Packers selected said player.

packerfanoutwest (10m) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (12m) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24m) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (4h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (4h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (5h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (5h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (6h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (6h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (8h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (8h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (9h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (9h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (9h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (9h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (9h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (9h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (9h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (9h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (9h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (9h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (9h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (9h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (9h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (10h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
