So what's MM's problem?

[mmmdk]

If I recall correctly from the broadcast, Belecheck has a streak of 62 fourth quarter home victories when leading.

Wow, that's amazing.

I think we are one key injury away from getting back in the playoff race.

To Slocum?

Yep. I'm hoping he trips on a microphone cord.

To Slocum?

Green Bay's offense has gone from dead last in penalties (118 last year) to 5th this year (71 currently). They got that cleaned up.

Yeah, let's generalize SB coaches around the fluke called Barry Switzer. One freckin' disaster coach is not the trend; the rest of the SB winning coaches are legends and even many that were SB runner ups are near legends.

Do yourself a favor a run through the all SB coaches and you'll understand. Stubby will never reach that list; no, we'll have to wait till it's obvious to the blind that a change is needed.

Lastly, as I've (now) stated a zillion times; it's probably not a good idea to unseat Stubby any time soon. Especially with lock out looming. I just wish this Packer could win big - SOON!

I just love people who say never and call me blind, then a couple weeks later post that we are going to win the superbowl. Newflash, winning superbowls MAKES coaches legends, not vice versa. If we run off 3 straight due to having superior talent on the field you will be proclaiming MM the bee's knees and gloating about how you knew it all along.

Oh yea.....BUMPWACKITA

I've defended MM all along against a ton of the baseless criticism but even I'm starting to think that coaching this team is like coaching the '95 Bulls. Arod makes his job easy.

Developed by McCarthy.

In 2007 the Packers had Driver and Jennings coming into his 2nd year at WR, and that looked like it. Favre sat out all of the offseason and they were just barely starting to click come the start of the regular season. MM never had a chance to get cocky. His back was against the wall from day one. Once Grant started running the ball, the Packers offense was elite.

In 2008, it was Rodgers first year. They were solid but defense and ST's didn't hold it together and at a few key times, MM took the ball out of AR's hands, maybe not trusting his first year QB.

2009, for the first 8 games, MM tried a vertical offense where AR stood patiently in the pocket. By the time they were 8 games in they had already lost 4 games. Their back was against the wall. They came back with shorter passes and runs and the offense was great. They made the playoffs and looked good doing it.

2010, for the first 6 games, the Packers seemed to be opening up a new, innovative playbook. 6 games in, the Packers were 3-3. Their backs were beginning to be against the wall. They went back to the shorter passes and went on a little run. Again, they seemed to settle into a lul where the offense looked a little confused at times. Maybe they started to overcomplicate it again. Then the Giant game came and AR just lit them up. The Bear game was that steady, trusty short pass dominated game. The Eagles was the short pass dominated but now Starks was a factor. Then the Falcon game and it was more long, short pass dominated drives with runs mixed in and beast 3rd down play by Rodgers. ..


I think there's a pattern. The Packers offense lights it up when their backs are against the wall. And back to TH's original post in this thread, it does seem MM might get a little cute when things are going well. He loves creating plays. He talks about how much he values creativity. I think that might be one of the things he has to keep in check. Keep it simple. Keep it simple. Keep it simple. There's no worry of MM oversimplifying it. He's not that type of guy, so keep it simple might be a good moto for him. It scares me if we make it to the SB too. If he has 2 weeks to dream up new plays, we might be looking at a sputtering offense.

Everyone picks on Switzer. But no one remembers Brian Billick, Tom Coughlin or Mike Ditka.

And Don McCafferty

i've only been critical of his stubborn playcalling, at times, this season. he's proven to be a great coach and motivator. he called a great game yesterday. played Packer football to the end. the same must happen next week...and hopefully the following game.

Can I call you blind now? Read my posts...and not literally like you do your bible.

Who dares taint the prophesy of the EURO RAT ? The prophesy of Packers winning the Super Bowl on my birthday??? You lot? YOU LOT? I thought so...

Yet do so and be forever known as the one RAT who squib kicked a Packer Lomardi Trophy into the gutter.
