I have to say, huge huge huge Thumbs Up for MM. When we were up by 2 TDs with like 8 minutes left, a lot of coaches run twice and pass once just to kill the clock some more but he went for the throat and continued the passing because it was working! Sounds obvious but enough coaches don't have the guts to do it.

Yep, it's great to see them go for the kill and finish the Giants off in commanding fashion.

Way to hang in there after than horrible turnover followed by a score in the first half. No lull!

I agree!
That's something that ticked me off in the past. Alot of times, when they got leads, they sat bad and played 'not to lose", not "to WIN!" It was nice to see him keep the foot to the floor!

Mike McCarthy followed Herm Edwards' mantra.

For those with short memory: "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! YOU DON'T PLAY TO JUST PLAY IT!"

His record in close games can be disputed, and isn't QUITE the same as this, but I think it's worth mentioning that what kept this from being a close game at multiple points was the play of Rodgers and the team, Mike staying aggressive, etc.

This is HUGE from McCarthy. I was expecting three straight runs and he came out with the play action going for the jugular. I've been waiting a long time for McCarthy to have that killer instinct in a game.

It's about time he has learned not to take his foot off the gas. That was my main complaint about mccarthy and I am hoping this game was him finally changing his ways.
