Does Mike McCarthy Have What It Takes?· Page 5

It's only stupid when it doesn't work.

Yes, would have been nice to put a long drive that would have given our D a much needed rest. I'm not trying to defend Mike McCarthy here. I'm just trying to understand what Mike McCarthy was thinking at the time.

I'm under the impression that Mike McCarthy thought he could catch the Lions with their pants down.

Two points:

1. I have no problem with the play call. In fact, I really have no problems at all with the playcalls on offense this game.

2. I do hope the play wasn't Finesse Mike at work. I hate the idea of winning by "catching them with their pants down." True winners just beat the crap out of people. Finesse is for bridge players, not football coaches.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

But overall.. Mike McCarthy I think is a solid NFL Head Coach.. just not a particularly aggressive one when the other team is on the ropes.

Agreed, but this time he did what we wanted him to do - go for the kill shot. It got picked off.

What I am curious about is, who made that play call? Did Mike McCarthy call it or did Rodgers check out of a run to a pass like he did a few times in the game?
I have to look back at Play by Play but didn't Rodgers throw back to back picks. It seemed like it because they were both poorly thrown.

I'm hoping Rodgers gets back to playing like he did the last few years and not like he has so far this year.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

The one thing that has consistently bugged me about McCarthy is the killer instinct. I like a lot about the guy, but the killer instinct is a dagger.

I agree. I like Mike McCarthy. But he has a tragic flaw.

I wouldn't want to fight zombies with Mike McCarthy. He's the type of guy who won't shoot the zombie in the head to make sure it's dead when it's on the ground. That will eventually lead to someone being bitten by one that's only looked finished.

Yes, but that could just be the residual effects of the (temporary) Ari Fleischer influence. You do realize that McCarthy's own nadir was back a couple years, and that he has steadily improved since Fleischer left town. The farther away the team gets from the Fleischer moment, the more of the true Killer Mike will become visible. 🙂

It was on Rodgers if I'm not mistaken. He had Finley underneath and that gave him the option of hitting Jennings deep if Jennings was covered one-on-one.

Well, Jennings was covered one-on-one and Rodgers missed him.
Mike McCarthy called the play. It was executed poorly.

And no, Rodgers didn't throw back to back picks. His first pick came in the 3rd Q. It was in fact the opening drive of the 3rd Q. Rodgers threw a pretty good ball to Gregorious but the CB took it from him and Rodgers was charged with the INT.

Then we 3 and out and had to punt.

Then the 2nd pick.

Heh. Good point, Wade. Fleischer's influence put political correctness in Mike McCarthy and one of the side effects of political correctness is pussification.

Hopefully that wears off sooner than later.

Number one was an underthrown backshoulder throw. Rodgers is liking those a bit too much right now.

Number two is throwing a ball up to Greg Jennings who's one on one with Chris Houston. Jennings makes that play 99/100 times. I don't blame anyone, but maybe Jennings a bit, on that play. Jennings did a good job. Houston did a great job.

Something that bugs me about McCarthy and I guess the coaching staff in general is they sometimes seem to have a lot of trouble deciding who they want to play.

For example ROLB, it seemed like they were subbing a new guy in for each series. You get an entire week of practice to make that decision but they use Sunday as an extra day to see what different players have. If you are going to start a young guy at that spot you need to let him get the consistent reps or you are doing him and the team absolutely no good.

I can only imagine what is going to happen with the other S spot now with Burnett down. Sunday is not an extra day of practice damnit!

beast (1h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (9h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (14h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (15h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

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

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

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

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

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

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

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 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.
