ARE WE GIVING AROD A FREE PASS ??????????????????

This is just amazing. We only give McCarthy and Capers a little dab of credit for the good and 100% of the bad. What exactly should they have done differently when the balls hits Bostick in the damn head? Or on the play that Pepper and Burnett decide that 6 more points aren't necessary? Did Clinton-Dix think Capers was going to throw his toupée at the ball and break up the 2 point conversion?
McCarthy is a choker? He only has the 15th best winning percentage of any coach in NFL history (.003 behind Belichick). He's #39 all time in playoff winning percentage (.004 behind Holmgren) and a better playoff winning percentage than Don Shula, Mike Ditka, Paul Brown, and Tony Dungy.
I'm sure just about all of us live and die with the Packers, so I differently get the frustration you have because I have it too. But I just don't see any logic in this.

Yes, McCarthy is a choker - he's proven that more times than not. He's proven exactly 1 time that he could get it done, he's failed every other time.

And this particular fail was epic. He, and dunderdummy, essentially tried to run out the hourglass from the 5:00 minute mark on - that's not playing to win, that's hoping the other team doesn't do enough to win. It's the difference between being proactive and being passive. Passive will get you beat every time.

Did some of the players make stupid plays?? Yes they did... but that flows from the Head Coach on down. If the Head Coach is going to stick his head in the sand, what choice do the players have but to join him?? It puts everyone on their back foot, it introduces doubt and hope, as opposed to aggression and taking hope away from you opponent.

Sun tsu... in the end, responsibility always falls to the General.

Ironically in the Green Bay Packer culture and after this last disappointing playoff loss '; and ' after the dust settles ' this:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11...en-bay-packers

Packer Nation gets Mike McCarthy for 'likely' another four seasons.

Mike McCarthy gets to pound his chest for more NFCN Titles. Has some fun losing in the playoffs.

Rah ! Rah !! Rah !!! All is good.

I don't want to fire MM, I keep hoping he'll the lesson... but to date, he hasn't.

I do want to fire dunderdummy of course... he is utterly hopeless. That 3rd and 21?? I knew it was coming, b/c I know dunderdummy - he'll do that every stinking time. It's a fine way to let a team off the hook, give them hope, and get you beat.

Technically, that would be 3 games, so 3 times in 2010 if we are just counting playoffs and not season end clinching victories in the Division.
