The AFC West is 1-7 the last two weeks, and they only have a win because San Diego and Oakland played each other.

By the way, we're 1-11 in our last 12 games decided by 4 points or less. That's a huge strike against MM.

 

Or Aaron Rodgers...

Jebus, are you guys spoiled

Yeah that was overreacting a little.

Not really, but ok. Most of those games included Rodgers leading our team down the field and putting us in a position to score before either Crosby blew it or our defense couldn't get a stop on the final drive of the game. More parallels to the 2008 season include many of those 12 decisions happening that season and four of them already occurring this year.

 

I'm not understanding why some people are ripping Rodgers. He hasn't been as great as he has been the last two years, but a large portion of that is because of how he's being utilized in terms of playcalling. Our WR's are overrated, more than anything else. It was nice to see Jennings have a good game but Jones and Nelson definitely aren't the best 3 and 4 WR's in the league. Those two guys have contributed to quite a large number of drops this season. Driver had four drops alone last week including a couple of significant ones later in that game.

 

The simple fact is that our head coach is an idiot. I've been saying it since that 2008 and that statistic in close games is really telling in a head coach's ability to, you know, coach football games.

Not really ripping Rodgers just saying that its not all McCarthy's fault. Do I think he is a great coach? No. But to just automatically just point the finger at him is unfair.

He's not blaming the coach with no reasoning. It makes sense that when a team has a brutally miserable record in close games that reflects on the coach. Obviously the players have to play, but when you are talking about a close game its things like which team executes better, which play calling is better, who makes the least mistakes, who puts the right personel in there, that make the difference. Most of those are things that the coach has a big hand in.

 

I don't watch enough of the Packers to know if McCarthy really is a big issue, but with a miserable record like that, I'd immediately look towards the coach upon reading that.

Colts just had the two best catches they'll have all season in this game

I'm sure Garcon will have a few more incredible catches(and some annoying drops), but yeah, those were pretty beautiful.

Damn you 49ers for messing up the Toilet Bowl of winless teams next week in Charlotte. Now SF beating us will lack comic value.

I didn't have any idea the Pack was so terrible in close games.

 

There's probably shared blame for it, but ultimately it's MM who will be held accountable if it continues.

 

The Packers have now lost as many games in 6 weeks of play that many thought they would lose all year. And the upcoming schedule for them isn't really all that easy: they've got MIN twice, Dallas, NYJ, and ATL before they get another breather against DET. So something needs to change for them and change quickly.

 

Kind of like the Bears.

 

If I'm a Minny fan I'm pretty hopeful right now. It makes it easier seeing the two teams ahead of you laying eggs. The NFC North is an exercise in mediocrity this year.

If Minnesota beats us next week, I think they'll probably end up winning the division.

I honestly don't know how anyone can guess that at this point. Really, every team in the division has proven themselves pretty seriously flawed. The division is a toss up that may not be decided till the final weeks.

I don't think the Vikings are as flawed as they are off to a slow start. I think the Vikings should be considered the favorites at this point. The Packers are very hobbled but should stay in contention. The Bears? I have no clue but my gut says a level below those 2. Vikings still have to go 8-3 if they want to win 10 games. Packers have to go 7-3, Bears 6-4

Its very easy for us to do in Dallas, and justified.

The Panthers pulled a Brady Quinn on Clausen, yanking him after 3 starts. That's gonna make the kid a hell of a lot better. :roll:
