McCarthy = Sherman?

[rbaloha1]

"apologists"? MM needs to be apologized for?

Ineptness in crucial games and situations.

Please name these games and situations botched by McCarthy.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That would be me applying your logic with Randy Wright and Dan Marino!

Which was the same used with your comparison of MM and Sherman. So are you saying the standard you set is baseless and therefore your argument is bunk?

All the games lost by the packers this season which is currently preventing the packers from reaching the playoffs. Big ineptness is keeping Slocum as the special teams coach. Another ineptness which is in the process of being corrected is over preaching toughness resulting in too many penalties. Failure to properly challenge. Shermanesque excuses (kudos for not using injuries) for losses. Losing composure in critical situations.

Bottom Line: Lets wait until the season is over. Some tough remaining games -- unfortunately may have to rely on other teams to reach playoffs.

Just like Bates extended Sherman, Capers is extending MM. There I go again! Mahalo.

Preaching toughness to an improperly motivated team is ineptitude? So you'd rather have a team of pansy asses who don't commit penalties but get run over? Besides, I believe when M3 said that he used the word emphasis, did he not?

Bates extended Sherman? Packers went 4-12 in 2005 and Sherman was fired.

Its called overcoaching. Just like Sherman and MM both early in their careers overpracticed their respective teams resulting in flat teams.

Why are the Packers at a respectable level -- Capers not MM. Imagine if Sanders was still around?

[MJZiggy]

So what you're saying is that Capers uncoaches his head coach's coaching? Capers overrules McCarthy now and decides how much coaching the team gets? I think not. Victory Monday did not start this season. Capers is better than Sanders because Capers knows what he's doing and is a very good defensive coach. McCarthy is a very good offensive coach. Imagine Rodgers without McCarthy's quarterback school. Recall his performance when he arrived. He's been coached. You willing to credit McCarthy with that one?

Just using the standards you set. Don't go being a baby when it doesn't work out for you.

Bates lasted one year with Sherman, the last year of Sherman's original GM contract before his extension would have kicked in. He was then fired. Doesn't look like Bates did much good.

There were few complaints when the Packers offense had to carry Capers defense in matchups versus strong passing games last year. Was McCarthy extending Capers?

Like Sherman, McCarthy has had play calls he would like back (admitting this would make him unlike Sherman) and there have been questionable challenges. But (Sunday's end of 1st half aside) McCarthy has a much better handle on the clock than Sherman, who had to hire another assistant to keep him in line. Coaching for toughness in a young team needs requires no explanation and with a better defensive staff, it has been corrected.

Slocum and the Special Teams are the only unforgivable sins here. You might put the running game here, but seeing the difference Grant makes muddies the picture.

So McCarthy is responsible for each of these events that potentially lost us every game this year:

James Jones fumble, Jordy Nelson turning it over on a KR against the Bears
Crosby missing a field goal to avoid OT, Jermicheal Finley getting hurt, Refs missing a helmet to helmet on A-Rod against the Skins
Clay Matthews's hamstring against the Dolphins
A-Rods fumble on the goal line against the Falcons

The fact that we've been competitive in every single game this season shows that he's a good coach. Hell the Patriots can't even say that after being rolled by the Browns this season.

There are no standards. I shall continue crying. Pau already. Aloha!

Is M3 badass enough to take on Warren Sapp??

So McCarthy is responsible for each of these events that potentially lost us every game this year:

James Jones fumble, Jordy Nelson turning it over on a KR against the Bears 18 - 5 in penalties in a one sided officiated game!
Crosby missing a field goal to avoid OT, Jermicheal Finley getting hurt, Refs missing a helmet to helmet on A-Rod against the Skins
Clay Matthews's hamstring against the Dolphins horrible call of lining up over the long snapper
A-Rods fumble on the goal line against the Falcons
