All it takes is for a few things to go wrong to get knocked out of the playoffs. Last years NFC title game, the Packers were outplayed by a better team, period.
But McCarthy playing not to lose instead of keeping his foot on the gas cost them several times. That’s something our new coach has NOT done. He keeps his foot on the gas.
Then we have plays by some of our explayers that screwed up games. Not doing what you are told.....going after an onside kick when you aren’t supposed to, taking a kickoff return out of the end zone when you were ordered not to. Those boneheaded choices cost us.
