Let's ask ourselves, there are alot of free agents coming up this season. Cobb and Bulaga for example. After this loss, do you look at the team differently? Does this failure shake your confidence in the organization?

Many guys like Peppers were willing to maybe take a little less to come back and challenge for a ring. They want that opportunity to experience winning it all, which is something money can't necessarily buy. It is a unique experience in sports.

It just seems to me that Mike is not ready for the big stage. If I'm a FA, I think twice about coming back after this historic failure. Not because it happened per se, but because it IS a signature game for Mike McCarthy.

This is how he coaches.

uncertain about his future? you mean the FA thing? ... bleh we got to keep him; look at his numbers. Cant rely on our 3rd or 4th.

Would the players want come back? They should. Would I, if I was in their position, want to come back with McCarthy as HC? Hell yes!

How on earth do you not love a coach that refuses to let you think anything other than "you should win this game"? Or a coach that coaches you to be better (see Week 1 vs 'Hawks vs. first 56 minutes of yesterday's game)? McCarthy deserves his share of the blame for the offensive game plan the last 5 minutes -- especially since Rodgers' comments make it clear that Mike McCarthy was calling in the plays. But, Mike McCarthy has shown he can do better -- case in point vs. the Pats.

Frankly, I'd want to return simply for the fact that Aaron Rodgers is our QB. I'm sure James Jones, Greg Jennings, Evan Dietrich-Smith will all readily admit that winning in the league is a hell of a lot easier when you have a franchise QB.

Cobb I expect to be back, and I'd like Bulaga back because he is a solid RT. Guion as well, since he showed he adds a lot to the pass-rush and can beat double teams.
