Is McCarthy too conservative in key situations?

[mission]

Can I bump my "MM shouldnt call the plays" thread that NO ONE replied to and laughed off as absurdity...

???

Over and over again ... I'm sure it's all coincidental.

I'm one that agrees with ya Mission... its redundant horshit week in, week out

It's really sickening to me... as in, my stomach hurts at times. It's stressful. I need to be more casual of a fan or Ill end up with an ulcer if I dont have one already.

So, 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.

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.

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.

I know what you're saying and yes if we don't drop all the INT's or Rodgers doesn't throw one up to Grant in double coverage and then fumble right after, we probably win. But did anyone else see the blatant pass interference on Jennings where the defender was grabbing his arm? How the ref doesn't call that I have no clue.

how bout the PI that shoulda been called on Chillar that wasnt?

[GBRulz]

yeah, but still, I think jennings should have caught that. On the other hand, we got away with a PI call against TN, too. Chillar, I believe.

Isn't that the truth. Sometimes I wish I was a more casual fan and didn't care so much so I didn't have the whole day ruined from a stupid loss. Can you post the link to your thread, I think I missed it but I'd like to read it.

I was recording the game and rewatched that so many times. Chillar never even made contact with the receiver.

[channtheman]

Chillar never hit the guy, but on Jennings PI no call the guy was grabbing his arm. It makes it a little hard to catch when you want to bring your hand around to the ball but someone is pulling it back.

? I don't get it. If you go and watch that play you'll see that Chillar never even hit the receiver and the ball was high so he wouldn't have caught it anyway.

The receivers arm on that play was FULLY outstretched and he still wasnt even able to put a finger on the ball ... I have no idea how all the announcers were clamoring for interference when it was obviously not catchable.

Al Harris seemed to be a detriment today. 38 was rusty when he was in and him fucking up that interception just aint team playin ...

Thats not the point. In the last 10 minutes of the game that did not factor in. Your coach should be the only thing on your football team thats as close to perfect, not your qb, not your wr's or rb's. Our coach took us out of position with poor play-calling and in my opinion bad decisions.

I do feel that our coach has failed to put our team in a perfect position to win the game, in my opinion he was playing not to lose, playing scared, and he got his ass handed to him because he could not take his balls out of his throat. End of story.

i saw the replay... i saw him hit him about a second to early that didnt allow the WR to go up and get the ball... get those Green and Gold glasses off.. we got lucky they didnt call it and the "PI" youre talking about on Jennings really wasnt that bad at all... Jennings shoulda caught it

I saw a replay where Chillar didn't even make contact with the receiver but I can see you won't agree so lets just agree to disagree. This isn't going to go anywhere.

He said after the game that Crosby's range was 57 today, so if they got it to the 40, they were going to attempt a FG. I think the screen pass on 3rd and 10 was designed to get him those 5-6 yards. Instead it went for 3 yards.
