Solution?

Bill Cowher for Green Bay coach in 2010. Enough said.

Lombardi wouldn’t have put up with Brent’s crap for years, either.

I am beginning to think that MM is a very well made Avatar. He’s much to machinistic (if that’s a word) and seems to have no emotion. It’s all X’s & O’s to him. One can almost predict what he’s going to say in his presser’s about as well as opposing coaches seem to be able to predict his play calling. It’s either that or we have a serious “tell” in our formations. I totally agree with Andy wanting to see MM yell at the refs & totally agree he should have benched Jolly on the spot. There needs to be some zero tolerance policies laid down on that team & staff.
Quit talking aobut accountability and become accountable.

Oh well, this is nothing that has not already been said here.

I’ve been a Packer Backer since the Bart Starr days & I always will be. I do not want to go back to the mediocrity of the 70′s & 80′s but the best I can see this team doing is 8-8, — at best. SOMETHING needs to change. It takes much better football minds than mine to figure it out, but something has to change.

Now I must go to PFT for a bit and accept my smackdown.

“McCarthy wasn’t second-guessing his decision; he was more upset with the easy sack Jared Allen had two plays before it when either Rodgers or the line blew the protection call and rookie T.J. Lang left Allen unblocked. That resulted in a 5-yard loss, and the Packers had to settle for Crosby’s field-goal attempt when Rodgers’ third-and-8 deep corner route to Donald Driver fell incomplete.”

Here’s an idea- how about on second and two, you run the fucking football fior a change. While the run up the middle was generally going nowhere all day (to the surprise of no one except, perhaps, Mike McCarthy), the stretch left picked up some yards, especially in the second half. But no, McCarthy is too devoted to doing things his way, and not devoted enough to doing things in whatever way might get the team the win.

I’ve backed McCarthy so far as head coach, but I’ve seen just about enough.

Steve,

Great to meet you and your family at the game. I continue to enjoy the perspective of both you and Andy on the greatest team in the world and look forward to reading more in the coming weeks.
