McCarthy has definitely made some bonehead playcalls, but those are being put under a huge magnifying class because we're Packers fans and we're spoiled.
Our offensive is as good as it is because we have McCarthy. If we fired McCarthy, Rodgers has to go back to Step 1, and I'd rather not have that happen. These guys are joined at the hip. And if you noticed at the beginning of the season, they definitely had verbal disagreements--which is why Rodgers was more aggressive with the audibles at the line of scrimmage. Same went for Matt Flynn. If you ask me, Flynn listens more to Rodgers than he does McCarthy.
What I really don't like about McCarthy is the way he calls run plays when the pass is working. I don't know if anybody else noticed, but when Flynn ran the offense, it was mostly vanilla offense with vanilla running attempts. When Rodgers is in, he tends to hand the ball off from the shotgun. THAT's where things get predictable and stupid.
Yes, we don't dominate teams, but it's not because of the playcalling. Look back at Rodgers' 15-1 MVP season. There was no issue with the playcalling there.
Thompson just needs to give McCarthy and Rodgers a better offensive line to work with.
The Packers also lack the "step on their throats" mentality. I'm not saying run up the score, but the team needs a mean streak. Hell, yes, I want the team to run up the score.
