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

I think Mike McCarthy 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.

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.

This.

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

This, what? Surely you have something to say other than ... this? Right? Please? Pretty, (not ugly) please?

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 😛

I agree with Porky.
