After what I've carefully gone over in analysis of that huge loss in Seattle I will respect Mike McCarthy if he makes at least two out of three of these moves.
If he makes all three my dog will lick his face.:
a) He must FIRE ST Co-ordinator Shawn Slocum. Incidently besides all the obvious Mason Crosby's game tieing FG came withing one more finger joint of being totally deflected and was 'in fact' partially deflected. That game came within an inch of not even getting to OT.
b) Mike McCarthy must FIRE DC Dom Capers.
With 7:01 remaining in the 4th Quarter and leading 19-7. It's obvious that Clay Matthews was removed from the game. It matters little why as the fact the teams best defensive player was not made available. Clay Matthews looked fine at that time and after Morgan Burnett's pick and slide he was in full celebration with too many others on the Packer sideline. With 5:04 remaining in the 4th Quarter there was plenty of game left.
Clay Matthews was certainly one of the strongest defenders on that day and he was needed for a full game. He was needed 'in the game' not lolly dogging on the sideline.
c) Mike McCarthy must at least ensure bringing in competition for punter Tim Mathsay.
He punted poorly down the stretch and looked bad in the NFC Championship game. Find a punter with a leg please.
