Official Fire Dom Capers Thread

[Fritz]

Clean house? MM is proving he is nothing without Rodgers, which is just another way of saying he is nothing. It appears Rodgers is so good, he has covered up a lot of the poor coaching and bad play. We have lost 3 games that Rodgers likely leads us to victory. The offense coming off a bye was incredibly atrocious. MM did not have this team prepared in any way to play.

I'm on the fire Capers bandwagon now; other teams seem to know exactly what's coming, and despite some talent on defense (Clark, Martinez, Josh Jones, maybe King, maybe one or two others), that defense just cannot get off the field. The pass rush is non-existent. Doesn't matter if the Packers tackle for a loss on first down and on second down; on third down the opposing QB will have all day and all night to throw, unless Capers rushes five or six, in which case the opposing team seems to know it's coming, and so screen plays go for fifteen or twenty yards. Or on third down Mike Daniels will eff it up with a dumb, dumb penalty.

And this is on MM, too. That was NOT a team that was ready to play. What's with the idiotic play-calling? For at least half the game, MM had his preferred offensive line, yet the vast majority of pass plays were those dumb -behind-the-line-of-scrimmage throws that, after the first three times, did not work at all.

That team stunk up the joint. Bad. It's a long season, and I know things change, but that did not look good. Period. They had two weeks to get ready, get their heads on straight - but instead, they had their heads firmly planted up their asses.

Not only does the opposition seem to know what's coming, but from where as well. When Dom sent all the dogs up the middle, Detroit ran a screen to the outside and game over.

I think the pass for the long screen went directly over Daniels who was on the ground. I haven't had a chance to look back and see how he was taken out of the play, but that was key it seemed.
