    Rodgers said in his PC said they didn't do a very good job of adjusting to the Lions defensive scheme. Whether he was talking about MM's play-calling, his own adjustments at the line of scrimmage, protection schemes, or receivers adjusting routes I'm not sure. I'm wondering what the lions did that was so hard to figure out. Were they really surprised that the Lions came out and doubled Jordy after what he did to the Jets?

    They were planning on seeing single-high safety due to Lacy. They got 2-high and rotation over Nelson. The more alarming part is that until the last drive, there didn't seem to be plan B.

    Like other purveyors of WCO, the coach is depending on winning one on one match ups in the offense due to superior preparation, execution and design. Its not happening. Trust issues, Boykin's dip in execution, Cobb not having a big role (and couple drops), no TEs.

    McCarthy's faith in the system has produced players and production in areas that never looked promising. He has a track record here and he isn't going to alter the offense until midseason if past results is indicative of future performance.

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

    That's why we call him Stubby.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Taken to an appropriate length, its a strength. Terrible coaches (think about Ray Rhodes in 1999) are always changing things up and altering the focus of the team.

    Refusal to change gives you Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier or Jim Schwartz.

    However, its clear, whether its Boykin, Cobb, the TEs or run blocking, that the offense that is out there is not doing what he expects it to be capable of. Whether it will or expectations need to be altered is TBD.

    Detriot didn't do anything McCarthy, Rodgers and Co. weren't familiar with. Pretty much did what Seattle and SF like to do.

    Cover-2, pressure QB with 4-men rush, stop run without putting a saftey in the box. Arizona, with Drew Fucking Stanton, and SD were able to beat these types of defenses in past weeks.

    Fat Mac is too stupid to adjust, too stubborn to alter his predictable offense. Rodgers is playing like a bum. Lucy is playing like a bum.

    When your OFFENSE gave up more points than it scored, that's a recipe for disaster.

    Seattle plays single-high safety with Thomas back and human cyborg Chancellor up on the LOS. Agree on last point. Nothing tells the story of that game like that fact.

    You are probably right with Seattle. They have good corners that can play man. But from what I've seen, they're pretty much a 4 men rush team on passing downs. Their LBs can cover.

    I disagree. It seems like they run blitz every running play.

    Especially since they even said they were going to make sure they knew were Jordy was on every play. They have no other receiver at the moment. Cobb has played himself out of a big second contract, either because he lost a step from the injury or is at best an average #3. Boykin has regressed to the point of just being a special teamer, and Adams makes too many mistakes for Rodgers. All the tight ends combined aren't worth a bucket of shit. Fuck it, start activating Janis and give him one or two routes and see if he can make a play here or there. Somebody has to do something or this season is fucked.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
