You can't blame everything on the coach. IDK why you hate him so much but he's actually one of the better coaches in the league.

The team has been sort of mediocre THIS year, but that is in large part because of injuries. The players go out and play with someone new beside them every game. It's hard to be consistent that way, regardless of your coach.

"Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser." Trying to remember who said that....No bravo from me, sorry. WIN dammit. And no excuses.

Tired of em'; it's like 1979 again....

Damn, that's deep! You gave me a completely new perspective not only on the Packers but life in general there. I'm sold, LETS CAN MCCARTHY!

Yet again, let me remind people that the Steelers, Saints, Bucs, and Giants came up close this weekend as well. It looks like the world horseshoe championships is about to acquire a number of marquee coaches!

Musccy, I think a lot of fans are getting exhausted of "damn near winning." I'd rather have an overtly bad team or an unmistakably good team than a team who always seems just on the cusp but never quite there. The Packers under Mike McCarthy often feels like that girlfriend who can bring you right to the edge of orgasm but never quite lets you cum. After a while the blueballs just start to HURT.

The Packers also won close games vs. the Vikings, Jets, and Lions but we seem to forget those too.

Are the Packers the only team to lose close games? Steelers just lost a nailbiter to the Jets today, Giants just pissed away a game vs. the Eagles. It's not just the Packers who lose these close ones. When 2 good teams face each other, believe it or not, they don't both win.

The spread going in was +11 for the Pack, and yet the Packers dominated the game and damn near won. If Woodson can catch a ball that hits him square in the hands, if Walden can catch a tipped Brady ball that goes straight through his arms, if our team can stop a 300 pound fat ass from running down the field...

So in summary, Mike Tomlin and Tom Coughlin need to be fired this week, and since Mike McCarthy needs to be canned, and he only lost to the Pats by 4 points, then Lovie Smith and Rex Ryan need to be fired 10 times over...oh yeah, and the Bucs lost a close one, lets fire Raheem Morris...oh, and New Orleans has 4 losses, lets shit can Sean Payton...how do they lose to the Ravens, I mean, c'mon. They always let the close ones go!

And right now the Packers control their destiny.

So let me get this straight.

Pitt, NYG, Tampa, and NO have similar records as the Packers, all just lost close games in the 4th quarter that they could have won, and all have a chance to make the playoffs.

However what sets McCarthy apart in the "needs to be fired crowd" is...um, well, huh, hmmmmm? Would you care to fill me in here?

Bravo to the Packers coaching staff vs the Pats, I agree.
Even though I want Campen gone at seasons end, bravo to him for getting the oline back up after Detroit destroyed them.
I also want Slocum gone at seasons end and I have no bravo for him against the Pats.

20 Games decided by 4 points or less

1... 0 - 2
2... 2 - 0
3... 2 - 9
4... 1 - 4


I bet if we checked Steelers, Saints, Buccaneers and Giants records for their coaches tenure, its better.



There's an argument to be made that Mike's team's are almost always within a touchdown from a win.

Out of 78 regular season games, only 9 of the 31 losses were by a deficit of 8 points or more. I'd also bet those four teams have a higher percentage of losses greater than 8 points.
