The correct answer was "I thank the Green Bay Packers for the great opportunity to be part of the most storied franchise in sports. I look forward to competing in the league for a long time. It's been fun. I have nothing but respect for the organization and coach Mike McCarthy." Something like that.

He's right, thought, isn't he?

The coaching staff is very easily putting the blame on one guy and letting 10 others that are on that field at the same time come away scott free.

Now I know that his kicks usually wheren't too great, but he's not the one who's responsible for that net avg all by himself. Bush was decent at the start of the season, but appeared to fade away on STs when he player more as a nickel back. Martin played great, but only towards the end of the season. And in that stretch, he was injured, as well.

They evaluate all the players. Did anyone REALLY think they were going to tender Kapinos? Even if they were going to bring him back, why would they tender him? No way in hell they bring him back now.
If Kapinos was competent in his job and they shitcanned him anyway, blaming him for the suckage of others, it would be different. But that is not the case here. This dude was abysmal. It's like he never heard of the Coffin Corner.

Oh, he isn't that good a punter. I know that. It's just that McCarthy puts the blame on one person in that interview while the entire unit pretty much sucked. I believe that they'll evaluate everyone, but apparently, he thinks it's necessary to take all the blame away from the rest of our STs and use Kapinos as a scapegoat.

I found it a bit amusing that Mike McCarthy in a recent interview was still trying to defend their decision in cutting Ryan two years ago...

It was a mistake.. cutting a known identity for the unknown in hopes of improvement.

But instead of just manning up and admitting it, Mike McCarthy and company continue to defend it.. which then lodges it in the craws of fans yet again.

MM... your human.. sometimes we error.. it is okay as long as we learn from our errors. It is okay to admit fault at times.. it is only human.

First step in change thus improvement is to admit there is an issue in the first place.

Oh and Kapinos.. they axed the special teams coach last year.. was he the scapegoat then? Admit it... you had a less than stellar run as a punter in GB.. work on improvement instead of pissing and moaning about it to the press. Have it light a fire under your ass and prove them wrong..

No McCarthy was specific and everything that he put the blame on him for was pretty much all his fault.

"as far as too many touchbacks, not enough balls inside the 20, punts that are being returned at a 60 percent clip instead of 40, 45, which youd like to be those are the things that you can say, 'Hey, thats one individual to improve that.' We need to hold that accountable and improve in that area."

If he would have blamed him for missed tackles or for all of the 30+ yard returns or something then sure but everything he mentioned does indeed fall on the punter.

Well, erm, you're right. I recall him blaming Kapinos for just about everything. Those are things the punter has to work on, indeed.

Should we sign Josh Bidwell back? He's a free agent now.

I find I'm much more positive on Mike McCarthy these days. Not yet back to my "In McCarthy I Trust" manlove of 2007, but I'm inching up.

And I attribute a big part of it to the fact I never listen to what McCarthy says in public anymore. And so when I think of McCarthy now, I no longer think "Office Space" or "Dilbert."

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (7h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (7h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (7h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (7h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (17h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (17h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (17h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (18h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (19h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (19h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (19h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (19h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (19h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (19h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (19h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (19h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (20h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (20h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (20h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (20h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (20h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (20h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (20h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (20h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (20h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (21h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
