I would feel a little better if I would once see Mike McCarthy come unglued on this team, or should I say specific portions of this team that repeatedly make the same mental errors.

Actually, I don't see McCarthy being a nuclear dude who'll blow up on a player/team.

If a player still struggles with things like poor footwork, pad level, and fundamentals after repeated attempts of coaching him to be better at those things, I think McCarthy will speak through his actions. He'll bench the player.

That, IMO, is better than getting all yell-happy on a player.

I would be more apt to agree with you if I seen a couple of the interior lineman.. cough*** Colledge *** riding the pines for an extended period.. but it never comes.

I am not saying going an Iron Mike explosion.. but I would like to see him bark a little at Grant for fumbling again.. or Bjack for another gaff.. at someone while a already nicked Rodgers gets flat out nailed by a guy no one even looked at, let alone blocked. And it wasn't like he was a blitz pick failure.. he was lined up wide on the line..

In other words.. flash a little of that intensity that you desire out of your players. They feed off your comments.. case in point see the players comments about footwork and maintaining a block.. carbon copy of Mike McCarthy today.. flash a little nasty.

MM needs to be more aggressive and not so dang predictable and "safe." I hate the word safe. It's my least favorite word in the English language. Well, actually, my 2nd. Cowboys is my least favorite word.

Our OL needs to block.

We need to start converting 3rd downs.

We do these things, we can go into the BYE 4-3 or even 5-2. We can beat Indy. The question is, do we want it badly enough? I know Kampy does. I know Greg Jennings does. I know Charles Woodson does. Now if the rest of the team would play like these 3 players...

Almost counts for the next game.
It is true we won against the Lions but the "almost lose" is a good indication we were going to have problems with Dallas and Tampa.

Good teams destroy the Lions, they don't face themselves down by 1 in the 4th qtr.

How did Dallas do against the Lions last year? They were a good team then too.

That being said I partially agree with you.

Who knows what Mike McCarthy is like behind closed doors?
He might be chewing them a new butt hole. (I kind of hope he is!)
These guys have looked dead on the field. No one is getting fired up, yelling at guys to get it together. Sometimes THAT is what you need. Someone thats tired of half-assed play, and wants to WIN.

Its certainly been a long time since I've been so upset after a Green Bay game.

This week against Atlanta, I don't even care if they win. The only thing I care about is seeing improvement. A running game, some O-line protection and some D-Line pressure on Matt Ryan would make me happy. If we lose, sure, it stinks, but improvement would be nice.

And for those who see the glass as half-empty...it could be worse, we could be St. Louis or Oakland Raider fans.

People sure have gotten carried away with the negativity. I'm pretty discouraged by this loss, especially because it came on the heels of the loss to the Cowboys, but it's still way too early to be sure if the Packers will continue to struggle like this for the rest of the season.

This is the NFL, where parity is king, and things can change very quickly. The Giants last year is as good an example as any. The Redskins this year are another good example. They looked lackluster and poorly coached in their opening day loss to the Giants, and since then they've put together three nice victories, including an away game at Dallas, which is arguably the best team in the league right now.

I wonder if maybe the Packers were so keyed up for that first game against the Vikings that they've suffered a letdown. I realize that this is no excuse for the way they've played, and that three weeks is a long time for a letdown, but still, I think they are in a funk and they will play better. Let's hope that Aaron Rodgers is ready to go on Sunday. Otherwise, we face the very real possibility of a home loss to the Falcons.

I also hate the Safe plays were calling and i agree that i want to see some aggressive calls but my guess is the reason we havent seen those aggressive plays is because of the impact mistakes will take due to #4 leaving. Remember Rodgers is going to compared to Favre and my guess is Mike McCarthy knows and is trying to call things safe for a while to let people forget about favre. I believe in Rodgers but there are A LOT of people who when Rodgers has a bad day are going to flip out and i think that is why Mike McCarthy is going to call some plays safe that he wouldnt have last year. IDK it makes sense in my head.

I am also big time miffed about the playcalling although the real low productivity on the ground game ain't helping matters either. I still predict a 9-7 record. We should be fine judging the division. We gotta beat them Bears though!

beast (3h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (3h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (3h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (3h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (3h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (3h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (3h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

beast (5h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (5h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (5h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (5h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (5h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (5h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (19h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.
