McCarthy and "Close Games"
Being close is fine; but, playoff runs usually involving winning close games at the end. With 5 years of history, overall I do not like what MM has shown in the last half of the 4th quarter. What you do to stay close isn't necessarily what you need to do at the end to win. If you don't know how to win, all you will ever be is a really good team that never seems to win a championship. In football there are a lot of variables regarding possession, clock management, FG vs TDs, punting strategies,... -

McCarthy and "Close Games"
I was watching SoundFX with Mike Holmgren, and he said to the victorious Packers, "You guys just wanted it more." Usually, I dismiss such statements as cliches, but it got me thinking. That 96 team had some real ruthless players on it - Reggie White, Wayne Simmons, Sean Jones, Frank Winters, the QB, etc. Players who would run through a brick wall to win. This team is very talented, but it doesn't appear to have the ruthlessness of the 96 squad. The players are nice people, and excelle... -

McCarthy and "Close Games"
I'm not a huge fan of Slocum myself, but maybe he's not all that bad. The Special Teams penalties have got to be way down this year. I remember reading somewhere that he changed the scheme this offseason to a different kind of blocking (straight ahead instead of on one side). The results in that department has been noticeable. There has been a drastic improvement in the one area this year. Maybe it takes a couple years to fix something as horrendous as the GB STs have been. Maybe Slocum isn't the... -

McCarthy and "Close Games"
We had more injuries, and worse injuries, than we did in what.... 2006 or was it 2005, when we had our first losing season in forever. Yet, we can't finish below .500 now, and we control, with 2 weeks to go, if we make the playoffs or not. Win out and were in. This team never gave up, and hasn't been throughly dominated by anyone. While it seems all our losses are extremely close, it's also a testament to just how good we are, and how good we would of been had we not had the injuries. Injuries don't... -

The Official Packers @ Falcons Gameday Thread
I put myself through the hell of watching the game again on the DVR and I have to comment on my 3 Goats of this game. 1. Daryn Colledge - On the second and goal, just before the Rodgers fumble into the endzone, Rodgers checked to the QB draw and should have walked into the endzone. Instead, the DL (who was taking a knee when the ball was snapped) gets under Colledge's block and hits Rodgers low, stopping him dead. If Colledge a) gets his pads down or b) gets his head on the corect side, Rodge... -

McCarthy = Sherman?
What made Belichick the guy he is now? He bounced around working under great minds like Parcels but eventually became a defensive guru. What makes a Belichick defense special isn't anything schematic. His x's and o's aren't revolutionary but his methods of preparation and ability to design a game plan made him special. Belichick runs a true multiple front defense and practically invented the concept of switching you scheme every week to best stop the opposition. The versatility is amazing. McC... -

Playoff Probabilities
Interesting read. If we go 3-3 and finish at 10-6, there's a 40% chance that we won't make the playoffs. If we go 4-2 and finish at 11-5, there's a 97% chance that we will make the playoffs.
http://www.playoffstatus.com/nfl/packerswhatif.html Interestingly, we have a higher probability of making the playoffs than the Bears (despite them holding the tiebreaker at the moment)--in large part because we play them at home and are probably favored to switch that home field advantage. ... -

The Official FIRE SHAWN SLOCUM thread
Look, I hate the job Slocum has done more than anyone, especially the way he has discouraged Crosby and the kickers from working with specialists. But honestly, with all the injuries the Pack has endured, Slocum has had to be a magician this year, and unfortunately, he ain't that. My guess is that he hasn't had an intact kick or punt return unit for more than three games in a row. I'm on board for firing the guy, but it's for reasons much deeper than his ability to get decent coverage on the ... -

Atlanta Week Talk
Where we begin to roll over teams? We are 2-1 against teams with winning records... and if you look at the 2 wins, we hardly rolled over any team. Have you looked at the second half the season? After an 8-2 atlanta team we play ont he road where Matt Ryan has only lost one time in his career, we have two very winnable games before a very hard final stretch. We got TO New England, Then play the Giants, and end it off with the bears. Counting this week, that is 4 games we could very well lose out of... -

FRANKENBACKER!!!
The dude (Spencer Havner) whom we fans have adopted the nickname "FrankenBacker" is back with The Pack. He's a fan favorite because he plays multiple positions everywhere on the team: Tight End, Fullback, Linebacker, and of course - Special Teams. His hard core off-season training regiment included late night motorcycle stunts on private property while drinking booze. I for one am glad that we brought him back after we lost him to The Loins for a bit 'till he pulled his hammy. The dude... -
