I still don't like MM for some reason (he's improved but for some reason I just can't put my full stamp of approval on him) but WOW Mr. Gutsy. Way to go.

Going for it on 4th and 1 at the 40 early instead of punting. Going for it on 4th and 5 instead of the FG and that leads to a TD (even though the coaches "chart" would say kick the FG).

And finally the Onside Kick. GENIUS! Honestly, if that didn't happen, they probably go score another TD and its out of hand again. Even if it didn't work, I would have loved it. AWESOME call. Great job by Crosby.

Keep it up!

agreed...granted, it didn't matter if they had the ball on the 40, the 1, or hell, in the stands, they would have scored on our D, but still, what a call and that was what got us back in the game (onsides)

He was really good tonight. I'm proud of MM.

Fine effort by our O. Our D gets a fail.

I'm especially proud of Aaron Rodgers. First playoff game for Aaron and he gets something like 128 rating.

Like I said during the chat, I'd take Aaron Rodgers over Peyton Manning. No contest. Goes to show the luxury of a good OL which we don't have. Plus, Manning has a much better D. Rodgers has to shoulder the load himself and his production tonight was incredible.

McCarthy has been gutsy all season and has gotten almost no credit for it.

Going for it on 4th and 5 was an easy call, though. They needed a TD, not a field goal, with the way the offenses were playing, and it would've been a 48-yard attempt anyway.

I agree Colts have a way better D, but did you really think the sacks/fumble with the Oline's fault? Plus I thought the OL did a great job in the run, I think Grant was 6.5 yards per carry. I didn't mean to praise them, they are not great or anything but I did not think they were to blame for anything tonight or the past 8 weeks for that matter.

He was decently gutsy, yes. Both 4th down conversions where no-brainers to me. The 4th and 5 was later in the game when it was obvious that we weren't stopping anyone. The 4th and 1 was pretty much the same.

It surprised me that the Cardinals where surprised by the onside kick.

I was really anxious to see if he would go on with his string of gutsy calls and go for 2 after our last TD. I was fine either way. In hindsight, maybe we should've done it, but it would've been a good call either way, in my eyes.

I didn't like the FG try. A chance to finally pin Arizona back in their own territory would of been a breath of fresh air at the time.

I give him credit. He's pretty aggressive. The fourth down call was an easy one. The onside kick took balls.

He adjusted his gameplan and the Packers thrived. If only the defense made the second half adjustments the Packers made.

I think McCarthy learned a lot about this team, about playoffs and about coaching. I think this will improve him in the future.

M.M. made some serious gutsy calls, I agree.

But the gutsiest call he could have made would been to have confidence in Aaron on the last drive they scored, to have Aaron run the clock down, not score so quick, score the tying touchdown with seconds left on the clock.......

Then go for two for the "Win Or Go Home."

I know.. That is the wrong thing to do. Stupid. Totally fricken dumb.

BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ULTIMATE GUTSY PLAY CALLING IN NFL HISTORY.

I was thinking the same thing. Go for 2, force them to beat you. And had we made it, and they missed that last FG, we won.
But alas, it didn't work out that way.
Our defense didn't even show up. They were TERRIBLE. That's what bugs me the most.
