I did a Find for my name and this thread and I apparently did as well.

It is a sickening repetitive exercise.. which hopefully ends until the next generation of GM or coach walks into Lambeau.. then it will be them be compared to the great Mike McCarthy or Ted. ;)

That said.. simply criticizing elements or certain decisions of either is not hating.. simply being more of a realist than fanatic.

Like.. still not having confidence in Campen/Fonteno.. or being suspect of our special teams coordinator.. past our punter and Jarrett Bush.. no one on special teams make a significant contribution. Lucky for them Rodgers and company rendered the Weems return insignificant.

That is not being a hater.. it is looking at the play season after season as a whole.. not spurts here and there. That is the most frustrating thing about the offensive line.. they will string together streak that they look really good.. but then go into slumps that they look like a subpar group.

There ... now my name is in here. 😉

I agree wholeheartedly with Shawn. As I indicated above, I actually stand by my fundamental criticisms of the season in question. I just think I didn't have enough patience with the team and McCarthy in adjusting to each other.

I still believe, however, that had Rodgers gone down with for an extended period of time, McCarthy should have been fired. He really lucked out that Rodgers has turned out to be as elusive and durable as he is.
