A self-described highly-successful NFL coach has described his team’s recently-completed season as highly successful. Packers coach Mike McCarthy, who …

Read the piece and answer it's charges, if you can. Straight truth. All of it.

Good the enemy of great once again.

So happy reading Dom and Ted will be back today. Hey, this was just another "successful" season so why change a thing? 1 out of 11 years in SB with 4 and 12 is fantastic.Thank you, Caleb Hanie.

Outside the Green Bay bubble people are asking the right questions. Why aren't all of us asking these same things?

Coaching, Management and Shareholders perspective it is a successful season specially when your sitting at 4-6 after 10 games.

As a fan not so much, specially the fact where injuries is being used as an excuse to keep Capers around!

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

A couple of comments from presumably a Pats fan and a Lions fan are just so telling: (great seeing the overwhelming response is pro for each comment as evidence by the voting on each comment...tide is turning...no question those writing the narrative and believe in it are going to fight back to keep it)

Unless the Pats win the SB I somehow believe BB will not see the season as a “Success”…..

See the difference?

It’s all relative. Lions have a successful season just making the playoffs. But when you have Aaron Rodgers, one of the greatest QB’s to every play, THE greatest playing today in my opinion, anything less than a Championship is a disappointment

It's starting to feel like the coaching staff has a good ol boy country club thing going on. No matter how bad the performance excuses will be made because Mike doesn't wanna have to fire or demote his buddy. In Capers case the only good thing anybody says about him since we won the Super Bowl are excuses for why his defenses have been disappointing. Clearly Doms defense just doesn't mesh well with Ted Thompson GM style. If Ted is sticking around it's time to move on from Capers. Time for Mike to let his buddy go and bring in someone who will run a defense that players can learn to run effectively within their first couple seasons

All depends on your rating scale. If you have two choices you probably say no. If you rate it on a scale of 1-100 while definitely not a 100, it is probably in the 80 range which would make it successful.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Later Mike McCarthy says questions about Ted leaving are valid because he's not the "youngest cat". Umm. Ted is 2.66 years younger than your DC. Might want to consider game has passed him by not to mention how brutal the D has been for years.

A self promoting buddy club? No wonder so many are okay with it.

Wonder if BB loses next week, if he’ll think that was a successful season…

With an aging, 39 yr old QB, they’ve gone 16-2 and are back in the SB for the 7th time in 16 yrs. After a loss, he’d say the season was a failure, without hesitation.

That’s the difference between legends like BB and ***** like McCarthy.

You have a future HOF QB. Outside of him, not much talent there.

That’s on the coach/GM. Every other NFC team is happy you’re wasting Rodgers’ prime by poor drafting and a lack of involvement in FA.

What success? Getting to where you were supposed too isn't exactly success. But getting beyond that would be. It's the Packers, not the freakin' Bears! C'mon McCarthy, where's your backbone?

MM also said they fell short of their goal. Watch his presser, he discussed a video they made for camp that had a countdown to the Super Bowl. Mike McCarthy made it clear that the goal each year is the SB. Saying you've had success, doesn't mean the organization isn't diligently pursuing the ultimate goal.

As for Dom comments, again, watch the presser. He dodged the question initially, then came back to it. He said he hasn't gotten to his staff evaluations yet, so why would he throw Dom under the bus?

packerfanoutwest (1h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (2h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (13h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (13h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (13h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (16h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (17h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (19h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (19h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (19h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (19h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (19h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (19h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (19h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (19h) : 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 (20h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (21h) : 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 (21h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (21h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (21h) : 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 (21h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (22h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (22h) : 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 (22h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
