There were only two plays today where I was disgusted with McCarthy.

3rd and 2 and 3rd and 3.

The formation was shotgun and nobody in the backfield but Aaron Rodgers. There wasn't even a hint of a possible run. It was the Packers showing their cards. They didn't convert either.

Those have to stop. I don't get and I never will. The defensive can just tee off on the QB when they see that formation. It's ridiculous.

I said the same thing while watching the game! So sad...

I think mm is to be given SOME leeway, because of the injury situation, but the team has been struggling since Week 1.

Regardless, this play call was inexcusable, as it has failed 100% of the time and puts the QB at risk.

I'm not mad, nor sad. I didn't think we'd win and don't think we will next week either. It's easier to handle a loss when it's expected. The earlier loss against the Bears, looking back, that one bothers me more than this one.

I agree 100%. The past 7 days since Finley went down have been a big transition. I used to have high expectations, and now I just anticipate a loss while hoping for the best.

To some extent I fault Ted/Mike for the awful play at tackle, and for not having the depth or willingness to bring in a Lynch or other RB...but even then, is it worth upgrading from a 25hp motor on your musky boat to a 50hp when it already leaks? The Zombos, CJ Wilsons, Quarless, and Shields were meant to be special teams long term projects, not starters 1 year out of college!

what pisses me off is the stick the course attitude. The injuries are an excuse but I have seen no change in our gameplan. Where are the obvious adjustments to compensate for the loss of players on offense? I did not see it. To be honest I don't know whether to blame Mike McCarthy or Aaron Rodgers but someone is delusional for all the long plays down the field. I know it worked once today with Jennings. But how many 3 and outs did the same philosophy cost us?

Cranks me up, too. But as musccy said, is that McCarthy, or is it Rodgers? My assumption (I don't claim to be an offensive genius) is that most plays likely include a short, medium, and downfield option. Is Rodgers just not taking the shorter options? Are they being covered? I know if I were gameplanning against the Packers I'd lock down those secondary routes precisely because I'd expect the Pack to use them, given the protection issues. Seems to me that would be the smart move - make Rodgers try to go downfield, even though he doesn't really have time to do so.

So are we sure those shorter routes weren't simply being taken away? I'm asking, not arguing. I was painting a room and wasn't dissecting every play, so that's why I ask the question.

It's not just the play calling, it's the lack of motivation that MM appears to
impart on this team this bothers me with him.

I think it's becoming increasingly obvious why the 49ers drafted Alex Smith over Aaron Rodgers. Smith played in a spread offense in college, while Aaron Rodgers played in a pro-style offense (and excelled in it, I might add). Mike McCarthy seems enamored of the spread-style offense, even though this team clearly doesn't have the offensive line assets to run it and these formations expose his quarterback to serious danger. If Mike McCarthy is so hell-bent on running a spread offense, he needs to acquire the assets required to run it properly or leave for a team equipped to run it safely. As far as I'm concerned, his bullheadedness in trying to shoehorn this offense into his style instead of adapting his style to the offense amounts to something closely approximating negligence.

And no, I'm not saying this because the Packers are losing. I was complaining about this last year too, even in the midst of their 7-1 streak. Aaron Rodgers is exposed in empty-backfield, shotgun sets entirely too often, and I'm afraid it's going to shorten his career. Put him under center once in a while, for godsake. Or at least for Aaron's sake.

I know the offenses problems and I could fix them. The reason is I drafted Rodgers with the the 1st overall pick in the Packershome fantasy football lol.

So someone want to make me a decent trade and the offense will start rolling again 😛
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
