IMO Mike McCarthy Era begins Sunday. I feel the Packers need to win out and make the playoffs if he is to keep his job as coach.

if Mike McCarthy loses out, he will be fired and people will always say he was fired b/c the team did not improve under his tenure.

turnovers and special teams have just killed this team this season. If Mike McCarthy doesn't do something to remedy these flaws in the next two games and the playoffs, it should be the end of his coaching career in GB.

Mike established a game plan that kept NE off balance and had the team control the ball for nearly 40 fucking minutes, really think about that...and that's with Brandon Jackson and Matt "who the fuck is that?" Flynn at QB...and people are REALLY bitching about play calling?!?!? Mike took a nobody rookie and implemented a game plan that kept virtually everything to within 10 yards and short quick reads to put the onus on playmakers and off of the fresh meat that Matt Flynn was.

Last year, Slocum's first year, was terrible. This year has hardly, if at all, been better.

However, you have to realize the amount of injuries Slocum has had to overcome as coach. Outside of the long snapper, kicker, and punter the only two ST players he's consistently had at his disposal are Jarret Bush and Tom Crabtree.

That is an insane amount of turnover for any coach to deal with. Add to it that you have players like Quinn Johnson deciding to become an idiot by completely lowering his head while blindly trying to make a tackle, thereby missing the player altogether AND taking out a couple of his teammates from making a play on the O-linemen who ran the kick back... and well you can only do so much when you find yourself in such a situation.

I'm willing to give Slocum one more year to judge his true value... you can be mad at him and say he is a shit coach, but frankly the amount of turnover he has had to deal with on his units should not be ignored all together.
