I like how people are calling for McCarthy's head, but the only other coach people are mentioning are Bill Belichick.

We're not gonna get Bill Belichick, guys.

We're not gonna get Bill Cowher either.

Nope, not Bruce Arians.

So do, pray tell, who the hell that's available that's better than Mike McCarthy right now.

There are former head coaches and coordinators who teamed up with Rodgers would likely have success they didn't before. Sam Bradford looks like a new person with his change of team and coach.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Well I don't see McCarthy making a whole lot of changes because they were beaten badly by Dallas. Four turnovers and umpteen chances to make plays to stay in that game won't shake his tree too much IMO. Arod has gone thru stretches where he has played poorly before and bounced back. I saw a graph on ESPN where I believe it compared 2010 or '13 to this year after 5 games and Arod's numbers were essentially the same and he went on to have a very good year. I believe McCarthy will take the position that Aaron Rodgers is too good to stay this bad for much longer.

I can see Mike McCarthy tweaking some things but no major changes. If I am him I look at what is going well and take advantage of it. Offensively, one thing going well is the pass protection. If I'm seeing the Oline holding up like it has in pass pro I'm trotting Davis and Montgomery out there and running some longer developing crossing patterns, etc, and letting that speed and athleticism become an advantage vs. watching Arod bouncing around out there after 2.5 seconds because the routes called for the ball to come out earlier and seldom take advantage of the extra second or second and a half he's been given.

What a waste at least for me to watch Arod standing back there with a receiver on the right sideline, another on the left, both essentially standing there, when they had enough time to cross to that point from the opposite field. You can't tell me if they keep four guys moving somebody won't be open after 3 to 3.5 seconds. We don't make the D pay somehow for that extra time and it just aggravates the hell out of me.

I'd be precisely half as worried about ARod as I am now if he hadn't stunk it up for half of last season too. This isn't a 2016 problem. This is a 2015-16 problem which is very alarming.

Thursday night will likely set the tone for the remainder of the season. If having their pants pulled down around their ankles by a pair of rookies in their house doesn't make them want to play better, nothing probably will.

While I have been highly critical of the mediocre (and sometimes bad) offensive performances - there is enough time to turn this season around, but not without major change and fast.

From the stands.. it looks like he has lost this team. As bluntly as I can say it.

Hell.. Rodgers looked alone on an island much of the time... not approaching anyone... but more importantly.. very few approaching him.

The offensive line to me was the most telling... back to Sitton and company years back, that was the loose group... that group now looks like the walking dead on the sidelines. Little discussion... blank stares and motionless much of the time. Beat down.

Part of football is being loose, having fun... that sideline is anything but.

And that was not just after they got down in the game.. that was even evident in the pregame.

Just a job... going through the motions.

Zero2Cool (11m) : Merry Christmas!

beast (8h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (16h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (21h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (23h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
