I'm not about ready to start another long offseason. lol, so what if they fire him and get someone better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it replacing Favre. Gonna be just as hard with MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 If we don't make the playoffs, I'm officially okay with firing McCarthy. Even though I don't want to. Just as rare as it is to win the Super Bowl with a first year head coach is winning the Super Bowl after missing the playoffs two years ina row. I still think McCarthy could get us one just as soon, especially if he brought in some outside help, but whatever. One person who absolutely has to be fired is Zook. He should be gone ten minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quandry is if you look league wide - odds are you won't. The talent level is also still the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was supposed to be Philbin. We were supposed to strip our offensive play calling to what it was in Mac's earlier years. Instead, we've regressed even further. And we've got a HC who is so confident in his system that he doesn't adapt for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sign on for more of this after watching the last three years is insane. We are trending down and it resembles falling off a cliff. MM's ego just won't let him make the adjustments needed during game time. When Rodgers doesn't play at an All World level our offense sucks. No flow, no rhythm.

No flow, no rhythm. Nobody who has actually watched this team in any detail believes this. We ran basically an entirely different set of plays between Minnesota, Miami, and Seattle to attack three different styles of defense. There's a lot of criticism to be levied at McCarthy, but this isn't one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBitzMan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 If/when we miss the playoffs, Murphy will fire McCarthy just because the NFL could force the Packers onto Hard Knocks if he didn't. (I'm kidding, sort of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not about ready to start another long offseason. Do you seriously believe if we keep McCarthy this team will be improve in 2019? What evidence do you have to present to back up this claim? It is clear as can be that this team is dysfunctional right now. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?? Edit: I suspect you and a few others are fearful that things will get worse if we fire McCarthy. I get that. But sometimes a bold approach is necessary. Yes, it might not work out but we all have seen what we have right now and that ain't cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 That tie just makes it look improbable for us to miss the playoffs if we win out still. Panthers/Vikings/Seahawks just don't scream 4-1 teams to me. I also think people are underrating the potential importance of Kumerow. All the jokes about it being a galvanizing moment, but even Rodgers said his return could be that galvanizing moment. If there's another receiver Rodgers actually trusts, things could really change. Right now he has one single receiver he trusts. Our defense is close, too. Really close to putting it all together. 24 points on the road against those two receivers is good regardless of the missed field goals. If King came back for the Bears game and stayed healthy... Offseason is too long, season too short, and life not guaranteed enough to look to next season. Keep the hope alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBitzMan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 MIN - @ NE, @ SEA, MIA, @ DET, CHI SEA - SF, MIN, @ SF, KC, ARI CAR - @ TB, @ CLE, NO, ATL, @ NO SEA has a favorable schedule coming in. Their toughest games (MIN/KC) are both at home. We have to hope the Rams/Saints are within a game W17 so the Saints have to play for home field. MIN could lose to anyone on their schedule left. If the Packers can win out, they would have a pretty solid chance of making it but that's a big IF at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
