Mike McCarthy is on the hotseat

[sheepshead]

I'm a homer. ...I'm concerned. every team has our tapes obviously. Our offense isnt scaring anyone right now. A few knock down grind out 15 play 8 minute drives would be nice by October 1st- we havent seen one yet--I'm worried.

[SkinBasket]

We have looked horrible in two games. I'm not convinced at all about this team. They look average.

Well they look better than your opinion, which looks downright retarded. In the NFL, wins matter - nothing else. But aside from that:

Grant runs for 100 yards.
Rodgers throws for 270 and 2 TD. And runs for 40 and another TD. Rating: 127.
Defense forces 3 turnovers.
Crosby is 3/3 with a long of 48.
Starting WRs combine for 198 yards and a TD.
Even the fucking punter averaged 50 yards.

At some point you'll learn that no game plan is perfect. No fair contest goes the way it should for either competitor. Until then, a motherfucking 36-17 win should be good enough.

Enjoy your unhappiness.

Yeah we lost to a team that beat the defending Super Bowl champs and beat a team that beat the defending Super Bowl champs.

Let me guess, Pittsburgh is bottom of the NFL this year...

[MJZiggy]

we've won twice as many games as we lost

I'll take 10-5 going into the last game

I like this.

So did Rodgers throw the ball down the middle of the field today? I was in and out of radio reception and then caught the last quarter.

Yes. I count five throws in the GameBook. Someone should check my math.

Re: Mike McCarthy is on the hotseat

Not a single sustained drive from scrimmage. It was really an ugly offensive game to watch. Not one throw to a TE??

We won today, remember. Calm down. The other team gets paid to play too.

ATTENTION PACKER FANS - WE WON!

This is starting to sound a bit like skins "fans" here in DC after they beat STL last week. Of course they did lose to DET this week, so maybe they have a point.

[ThunderDan]

The real issue is that we are 2-1.

We played like crap on offensive for 2 1/2 games and were still able to win two and if the D doesn't give up 3 and 33 we are probably 3-0.

It hasn't been pretty and we need to get our act together. I was pleased that we didn't ask our kicker to try a 50+ yard field goal yesterday.

I can remember two. He completed a deep bomb to Jennings down the middle of the field late in the game. He also had a nice gain to Driver early in the game in the middle of the field. Hard to believe we only threw it 23 times. I'm not going to complain about McCarthy's play calling. If anything, I think he gets away from the run too quickly. This year, with the sacks and penalties it's put us into too many unfavorable third downs. If we only get 5-6 yards on the first two downs, I feel pretty good about Rodgers ability to convert those. I don't feel good about any QB trying to convert 3rd and 10+ all game long.

Let's see we beat St. Louis 36-17 on the road. Washington beat them 9-7 at home. A bit different. And it turns out, the other two teams we played don't look so bad.

Our main problem on 3rd down is 1st down.

2nd and 11 isn't setting you up for success!

McCarthy's on the hotseat if he farts on a pleather couch.

How much would you bet on that...Pack being 10-5 and going to Arizona?

I'd take the 10-5 but I wouldn't take the bet.
