Anyone else see a lot of 11 personnel with man coverage who were open? They did some bunches but only after Hundley moved them and then twice those bunches produced two receivers running the same route.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Correcting earlier McCarthy quote: "We had our best week of preparation and it’s a crying shame it didn’t show up today for four quarters."

Why not? Let Hundley play the rest of the season and get some experience under his belt. If he shows he can play in this league we might be able to get something for him this offseason. He's not gonna want to hand around GB being Rodgers' understudy the rest of his career if he can start somewhere else.

Dome Patrol (!) last 4 weeks:
3 TO, 13 points allowed vs. CAR
Shutout vs. MIA
3 net points allowed vs. DET
79 passing yards allowed vs. GB
The Packers threw for 79 yards, just the 5th time since 1992 that Green Bay has thrown for fewer than 80 yards in a game.
The Packers offense gained 65 yards in the second half. That is pathetic.
Brett Hundley has been in the Packers system for 3 years. This was an embarrassing performance. Threw for 3 first downs on 26 drop backs!!
Drew Brees threw two picks, but otherwise had great stats. 41% first down rate. 8.3 Net Yards per Attempt. Saints punted just twice.

You might be right - he probably didn't trust Hundley with the entire playbook and held him back and the team suffered because of it. Perhaps Stubby had visions of what happened in2013?
It seems a waste of a 4-2 start, that's why.

The 4-1 start ended when Rodgers was injured. We're a completely different team without the all-world QB. We've got an average defense (at best) and an average offense (at best) when Hundley gets some seasoning.
This is an 8-8 team at the end of the season (at best) if Hundley progresses. Before that, the offense is below average so your looking at 4-12 to 6-10.
That last statement means they could win 25% to 38% of their remaining games if Hundley doesn't progress.
My problem is with M3 and the Defense. I can live with the drop off on offense but the d has been a festering sore for years. I'm not even going to go into detail as every aspect of the is a problem from the play calling to the players to the philosophy.
Please, go into every aspect.
Half of the D is on the injury list.
Please, go into every aspect.
The D limited the high flying Saints offense in check damn near every step of the way.
Please, go into every aspect.
So, we lost. Damn near pulled it off, a bad choice at the end cost.
Please, PLEASE go into every stinkin' aspect.
HOFer
that should sum up fat mikes career minus HOF qb's
HOFer
why would the playbook have to be cut down at all?
the guys been the top backup for 3 years, its not like he just got the playbook last week
he has been, or should have been running all these plays for 3 years
The Saints offense was very mediocre today and still gained 485 yards.
Yup, for a whoppin' 26 points.
I get it, shoulda, coulda, woulda...
This game wasn't nearly as close as you seem to have seen it. Either it's your homerism or something you are smoking, or both.
Are you serious? The D has been a joke for YEARS! You want aspects? Tackling, scheme, talent evaluation, philosophy- that's on Stubby 100%- and their production- yeah we have an epic offense but at the end of the day you need to get teams off the field and ours gets ground up, exploded, picked apart, dinked and dunked-it gets beat IN EVERY ASPECT BY EVERY STYLE OF OFFENSE REGULARLY! It is a fatal flaw.
