Why when on the road does McCarthy not go for it on a 3rd and 10 with 3 minutes left in the game and on the 44 yard line? McCarthy pulls back and plays it safe with the screen pass that never works ever, and takes the ball out of Rodgers hands when he was completing passes and driving us down the field. If he has Rodgers throw a pass 20 yards downfield and it gets picked off who cares? It's like a punt anyway. Well, McCarthy, you played to not lose and you lost, are you happy?

Is McCarthy too conservative in key situations?

he needs to tighten the reigns on his shipOriginally posted by GBRulzSo, is it M3's fault that the D dropped 3 INT's? That Rodgers turned the ball over twice?
It was a well fought game, but against a team like TN, we have to capitalize on everything.
most of those were mental mistakes, he needs to make sure those are minimized
its one thing if its just one or two guys. but when multiple guys are making multiple mistakes, then that has to fall on the coaching as well as the players

I don't recall saying it was McCarthy's fault that those things happened. Yes we need to capitalize on everything in a game like this. However, we have the ball and a chance to win it at the end and McCarthy pulls back and plays it safe by throwing a screen pass that I don't recall ever working this year. Rodgers was on target with a lot of his passes that drive too. Instead of having no confidence in your QB and playing to lose like he did, why not grow some balls and go for the win. If you lose, at least you can say you tried everything you could do to win.Originally posted by GBRulzSo, is it M3's fault that the D dropped 3 INT's? That Rodgers turned the ball over twice?

It depends. If no one is open downfield, you dump it off short. I don't blame him at all if he didn't have an open receiver. Better to do that than take the sack--and I have seen that play work, usually with Driver across the middle. Now if they really always run that play in that situation to the point of predictability...Originally posted by channthemanI don't recall saying it was McCarthy's fault that those things happened.

One of McCarthys biggest flaws in my opinion is his inability to finish, he doesnt have that killer instinct and thats why we are put in those situations. I mean what the fuck was going on right there it was at the 43 yard line and we punted, at least if we went for a FG it wouldnt feel like conceding defeat. He plays like he's scared to lose, not like he's going for gold. FUCK! His conservative play-calling at inopportune times and his lack of a killer instinct has cost us 4 games that i can think about off the top of my head. We need a running game to make this guy look good and i think thats kind of why we arent seeing the full potential of his play-calling, cos right now hes trying to win two-dimensional with a one-dimensional team.

I'm with you, channtheman. I've been one to criticize his conservative play calling on many occasions. but today, I don't think we'd be bitching about the play calling as much if we had stepped it up and capitalized on some opportunities.Originally posted by channthemanI don't recall saying it was McCarthy's fault that those things happened.
