Dumb luck

[red]

But do we have the playcaller?

I've liked his play calling the previous two years. Not so much this year, but I have faith in McCarthy. Division title in 2009.

I feel that this is where Favre came into the equation. Favre would go to the huddle and change the play call. When MM would want to run it 3 times in a row, Favre said "Fuck that, we play to win" and would pass the ball.

I could be totally wrong but I don't see how MM regresses so much since I didn't notice such pussy playcalling last year either.

i think you're spot on

I think you've both seen too many movies. No QB in the NFL would have a job unless they ran the plays called by the coaches. Check downs and line audibles are part of games, but if you think Favre just called his own play in the huddle you people need your heads checked.

i think favre has a set of balls, something m3 obviously doesn't have

and i'm pretty sure one way or the other favre might have tried to win a game or 2 this year instead of running the ball up the middle 3 times and hoping your kicker can make one

[HarveyWallbangers]

Again, last year Favre admitted that he rarely changed a play at the LOS. We remember a few of the changes (the pass to Jennings for the record breaker being one), but let's not pretend Rodgers is fucking up the audibles. Sorry, but even Brett Favre is not going to call an audible out of a run with a minute left in FG range.

Red/Esoxx,

Don't even try and run that BS type of logic here.

Besides if we could learn how to block on a freaking kick OR make the previous kick OR, God forbid, learn how to cover or kick a god-damned kickoff the game would've been a win for the Packers.

who the fuck said anything about where this is rodgers fault?

i'd like to see my quote where i said that
really? do you really think a first year starter should come in and override the coach's calls at the end of a game?

I say just "Dumb"

Luck is when opportunity meets preparation. The Packers obviously weren't prepared because they sure had the opportunities this year.

maybe it wasn't just audibles

maybe favre would tell him on the sidelines to try, or go for it. maybe he did it during meeting during the week

maybe m3 just had more confidence in favre then he does in rodgers.

whatever the case his, m3 appears to have had his ball removed during the offseason and had them replaced by one or two pussies

[VegasPackFan]

MM has brass balls in the 1st half and balls of mush in the 2nd. His play calling has consistently SUCKED in the 2nd half of games, where he abandons what has worked all game long and goes for the clock-eating plays of run-run-run, punt.

Grow some balls and go for the throat once in a while. I would feel a lot better watching the team go down fighting than with this pansy ass bs we have seen tha last 5 weeks.

MM is supposed to this tough pittsburgh type guy, right? Well, SHOW IT YOU PUSSY!!!

It's preparation, Fosco. Unfortunately, M3, Stock, the ST and the last minute defense have coached/played like they've taken Preparation H.

All the penalties and sloppy special teams play falls on the coaching. Penalties are a mindset. Look at the Steelers O-Line. They went six freakin' weeks without a penalty. That's discipline and attention to detail.

This year, our coaching staff has regressed and so have some of our players.

Back off Dean.

Read my post again and try to comprehend it.

sorry brother. i thought that is where you two were going with this. looking back on it, i jumped to conclusions.

lets not forget that we had absolutely nothing to lose in this game

and yet he still went conservative in the second half

[Partial]

Want to talk about bad breaks
The Patriots lost the best player in the NFL


Yet they still stand

Yep. Winners don't make excuses. I cannot believe how many of you homers are talking about luck. There isn't any such thing. Good teams overcome adversity through strong leadership. We don't have ANY leadership imo.

That's a very good observation actually.

Damn right. In the first half MM is going for it on 4th downs fake punts. I thought he had changed. I remember saying "This is the first time in a while MM has called a game aggressively! 2nd half. Here comes Pussy MM.

Oh and about Favre changing the play. I didn't mean at the end when we were going to kick a field goal (though I do think MM is a pussy for playing for one). I meant more when Rodgers JUST completed a 20 yard pass to Driver and we are at the 50. Now here comes MM and his clock killing run run and then oh it's 3rd and 13 go ahead and throw it now crap. It seems obvious that MM doesn't have confidence in Rodgers that he did have in Favre. I may have gotten carried away with what I said but I think it definitely had something to do with Favre being here.
