Mike McCarthy's "play not to lose" attitude cost The Packers more than the breaks going one way or the other.

Everyone is saying Aaron Rodgers is our franchise QB, only if Mike McCarthy let's him.

Aaron Rodgers...2009...5000+passing yds,35 td's,15int's.

Packers go 10-6 and win The North!!!

Mark it down, with the recent qb changes in the North, Mike McCarthy is going to have to let Aaron Rodgers be the qb we all know he can be!!!!

Wouldn't that be something. DD 1200 Yards, Gregorius 1500 Yards, Finley 600 Yards, Nelson 600 Yards and Jones 600 Yards and some for Lee, Jackson etc.

But seriously, I agree with you on the playing it safe part. I asume McCarthy was trying to somewhat protect his first year QB or so, but he was one of the best in the red-zone and, combined with some YAC from Jordy, DD and GJ, got us 1st downs. Yet, everytime we tried for a -2 yard run, 4 yard run, 2 yard screen to Jackson. Quite frustrating.

Had McCarthy not been so conservative in the red zone, we wouldn't have been in a position the have to make game winning field goals. Just sayin..

Let me try and explain this. I have been saying for more than a year now"the playmakers on this Packer team are the Wide Receivers".
The running game at best is average.
The Packers want to win, they need to put their playmakers on the field, let Aaron Rodgers do his thing, and I will bet that the running game will all of a sudden become more lethal.
Most team try to set up the pass with the run, as of right now, The Packers are better off setting up the run with the pass, not to mention Aaron Rodgers is still agile enough to scramble and get some rushing yards.
Mike McCarthy sooner or later is going to have to let Aaron Rodgers BE THE FRANCHISE QB everyone wants him to be. Playing it safe in close games, with a questionalble defense, didn't get it done in 2008, why would anyone expect it to work in 2009?

The Packers have the talent on offense to outscore most NFL teams, until Capers gets the defense re-organized, let Aaron Rodgers put up the numbers that he is capable of, and don't back off once you have a lead.

I am saying for The Packers to go 10-6 or better, Mike McCarthy is going to have to change his "play not to lose philosphy".

You had to have been out partying with Raji to say something like that.

Ok i can't believe this but i'm going to defend Mike McCarthy on this one. Everyone is saying Mike McCarthy is being conservative; but i know it was posted somewhere that Mike McCarthy has said Rodgers goes up to the line with a run/ pass option so is it really all on MM?

I'm just bringing up a point that someone had quoted on this site, that Rodgers has a run/pass option because i remember making a comment against Mike McCarthy saying that he was throwing his qb under the bus at the time. I would defend Rodgers before Mike McCarthy you should know that by now.

I don't think every play has a run/pass option that is as easy to switch to as you are thinking. What if the defense shifts formation with 3 on the play clock? You can't switch it up that fast.

We'll say he can go Pass or Run on every play. How feasible is that? Defense's often times don't show their tell until the later seconds. Now if you are going to throw Rodgers under the bus because coach called a run and he didn't automatically go pass, that's wrong. He'd be labeled uncoachable then. Rodgers is NO Peyton Mannning, he shouldn't be calling his plays at the line. Favre yes, Rodgers, no.

The shitty play calling is on McCarthy, period.

Zero i don't recall all the facts but i remember it was after one of the late game losses when someone asked Mike McCarthy if he called the plays at the end and he said that Aaron Rodgers has the run/pass option when he gets to the line. I wasn't throwing Rodgers under the bus i was standing up for him and said Mike McCarthy was throwing him under to protect his ass. If i get time later ill search the forums and see if i can find the thread.
