Play calling

[RashanGary]

I have an issue not with playcalling, but with McCarthy's propensity to overcomplicate the offense. It's two years in a row now that we started sluggish on offense, then picked it up when our backs were against the wall by simplifying the playcalls.

We simplified our playcalls after week 6 this year I believe and we've been really good ever since, but you always feel like we could be better and more consistent.

Then Rodgers goes down and we do the anti-McCarthy, we similify it even more. The result was our offense playing as consistently and balanced as it has in a long time.


McCarthy trys to out think the opposition and he's creative as hell. He's good at it. But I think he goes to far. There are coaches like Lovie who just keep it siimple and let the players outplay the opposition. I think coaches like that tend to get more from less.



The fact is, the Flynn game plan worked. I hope they at least give it a try again. I really hope they don't go right back to living and dying by the big play. I hate that type of offense.

There are no other first time starters in the NFL calling their own plays. Rodgers just this year was given the reins of the no huddle.

I wasn't aware of that, but it doesn't change the part about Flynn staring over at him waiting for a play while MM was staring at his playbook. I figured that he wasn't calling his own because he only had a week of practice, but if Rodgers was just given the reins then I guess that part is ok....not getting a play in while 14 seconds ticked away so we only had one shot at the end zone was inexcusable though.
