Meanwhile, the 49ers team is gonna be around for another couple of years at least and we couldn't beat them in our own house nor in two week 1 matchups having all offseason to prepare. In each of those Dallas games the team learned a lesson or two (albeit very painfully) from their losses to close the gap. Meanwhile when I watch the games vs the 49ers it feels like the only step forward that's been taken is our run game while at other times it seems like Harbaugh is five steps ahead of McCarthy & Co. in terms of game planning and strategy.

So we've made no progress toward beating SF even though in the last game they won on a last second FG while our D was missing Matthews + 3 or 4 other starters and Rodgers was on his 2nd game coming off a long layoff and Lacy was banged up? Plus who cares we probably wont even play them next year.

It's not like they are obliterating us every game the week 1 game went down to the last drive. So the last 2 were very close games that could have went either way. Actually 3/4 of the losses basically came down to the last drive. If SF really is 5 steps ahead in game planning and strategy those really aren't that impressive of results.

The one time we score first was the Shields INT return and guess what, they scored on the next possession. Of the 12 Packer offensive scoring drives in the past 3 games, they've scored on their ensuing possession 8 times. For every punch we throw they immediately counterpunch and take back control of the game. That's superior coaching putting players in a position to succeed. And come on, are you really saying 2012 opener was close? The only reason we got back in that game in the 4th was a blown call by the replacement jugheads on the Cobb punt return for a TD. We've yet to get them on their heels and control the game outside of short stretches. In the past four games, we've only possessed the lead 8 minutes and 45 seconds out of a possible 240 minutes. Or in other words, we've only had a lead 3.6% of time on these guys while the other 96.4% is either us trailing or tied (which doesn't last long). Sorry, I can't look at the final score being close in the final 5 minutes and think we've made a lot progress when they're controlling the game other 55.

If we're not playing the 49ers then we'll be playing the Seahawks or the Giants or whatever. My point still stands, we're gonna have to beat one these teams (or two if we're unlucky) to get back to the Super Bowl and if McCarthy can't get it done, then his future in Green Bay needs to be re-examined.

The final score doesn't matter so much if it's a situation where a team brings the score within 7 or 8 points on a last second play or something but in these instances the game was winnable late in the 4th for GB 3 times out of 4. Who "controlled" the game matters not, the final score does. SF won 4 games in a row yeah but 3 of them could have gone either way up until the very end. In both games last year GB had a 4th quarter lead. One stop in each game and it's 2-2. There's not such a huge gap there like you are making it out to be.

from what I understand, Ted Thompson will be the one to extend Mike McCarthy's contract, not Murphy, so it makes sense that McCharty wouldn't be signed before Thompson.
