well....MM and the Pack did it today. he had a great game plan. he stuck with it even after the shocking start and they f'n blew-out the seagals. CONGRATS MM AND THE PACK!!

I can't emphazie enough how great McCarthy was in his gameplanning and playcalling today. Absolutely top-notch. I was worried he was going to abandon Grant after the fumbles, but he stuck with him.

It's safe to say that it was a good decision.

sorry packinpatland. I freaked out a little during and after that game too. However, I went back and watched that tape over and over. After watching that whole game 5 or 6 times, I thought "holy shit, some of those plays were there. Favre just missed on his throw" and he threw HIGH just like in the old days in the first quarter.

Then Tausch and Cliffy were getting their asses handed to them and Favre had no time.

The the officials were doing thier best Tim Donahy impression

After watching, I came away thinking "If Favre would have just hit his throws, we would have scored on them at will." "If Favre had enough time to complete some of them, he might have done a better job". I don't think we have to worry about Tauch and Cliffy and I'm fine taking chances with Brett (as long as he doesn't throw into double coverage like he hasn't all year except for a handfull of bad passes). It really wasn't MM. It was just a bad day for a couple of our good players and Dallas played a nice game. That's all it was.

OK .......HH you've got me totally confused.

As to the thread title, I'd have to say yes. He did a great job today, no deer in the headlights looks and called a great game--His players came ready to play and didn't overlook anyone, stuck to their guns, had great acting on the fakes and great execution when the bullets flew.
