McCarthy responds to Rodgers' critique of game plan.

...
Outside of that, Rodgers has 5 picks through 4 games, versus 7 picks all of last year...

One was on an end of half hail mary

ARod has lost "it". Time for the Flynn era to begin.

I don't fault him for the second interception against Detroit. Are you kidding me? Greg Jennings one on one deep with an average corner. I'll take that every time it's available.

Except it was good coverage and the opening was deep since Jennings had half a step. The throw (and the idea according to Rodgers and McGinn) was to the back shoulder, but the CB was in better position for it and played it better. It won't bother me as long as they get on the same page for that throw.

And interceptions are not overrated. They cost possession, field position and scoring opportunities. Forget the old saw that its like a punt. Not all interceptions travel 40 yards past the LOS with no return. And it is the rare team that punts on 1st or second down; unlike a punt, it is a lost opportunity, not simply playing the odds.

Teams that break down games by overall yardage give a -40 to -45 yards for a INT. And since McCarthy has talked about this before in special team terms, I would bet he does as well.

If you have bad special teams play, offensive turnovers, penalties and struggle to get off the field on 3rd down defensively, you are going to leave a lot of teams in the game for no reason. It makes for a shootout because you are careless.

I saw the same thing on the Jennings intercept, PB. Jennings had a half step and I thought the throw was going to be over his shoulder so he could reach out and grab it. The corner had good position for a back shoulder throw.

I dunno. I don't like the new gambling, but then again Arod's hit some bombs, it seems. So maybe I'm overreacting. I just don't like the turnovers.

Speaking of, what the hell happened to Jordy Nelson? The ball squirted out of his arms like a puppy out of a bitch.

Try B Jack back there. Try Pat Lee - give the guy something to do, for crying out loud.

And did James Jones even get one ball thrown to him on Sunday?

Its time to fully trust AR and start doing more run and shoot stuff.

No doubt now that the Packer offense needs to carry this team for the rest of the season. Players play I've heard and coaches coach...plus coach McCarthy calls the plays; the pressure has never been higher for McCarthy to make the right calls - a lot of right calls.

Can't sit on those 1-2-3 point leads no more; spread'em out, run & shoot. Be a smarter McCarthy...

NB - Packers also needs to overcome own ST play, not just Packers hit or miss, miss & miss defense.

Keep in mind one of the INTs Rodgers threw was a hail mary at the half. I don't count that BS as it didn't make one bit of difference either way other than we didn't get a lucky cheap score.
