McCarthy and "Close Games"

The Onion weighs in:

COACHING PHILOSOPHY: Balances offense with mix of brilliant plays and boneheaded calls

[easy cheesy]

Just win the fucking game... that is all....

[mraynrand]

For some reason, I remember KC, Miami, Pittsburgh and Oakland the best. I wonder why?

Because you've repressed Dallas. And with good reason. The Cowpukes!

Guess Again!

The Steelers 4 titles in the 70s are about as pertinent to me as the Packers 5 titles in the 60s. I started watching football after the Steelers dynasty. Since then, the Steelers have 3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 titles and the Packers have 2 Super Bowl appearances and 1 title. Before now.

Well put. This game is for blue collar, lunch box totin' bragging rights!

And, after seven straight years of losing to the Packers in the Chunky Soup Bowl, the Steelers are glad to get a shot at the Packers in a setting where the Packer fans can't bitch slap them.

Ben Roethlisberger is so thick you can stab him with a fork!

Rant as you want. At the end of the day, MM's record in close and meaningful games is horrible -- zero disputing. MM is good at developing (i.e. Brooks and Rodgers) or enhancing careers (i.e. Gannon, Delhomme and Favre) qbs. MM has proven HE CAN NOT WIN CHAMPIONSHIP(S) IN TITLETOWN, USA.

Keep up the truthiness and see where it leads you.

Too good not to bump!

CANNOT and HAS not are two entirely different concepts. You're setting yourself up to look like a complete idiot if he does...I need to start bookmarking some of these threads...

Bump

[ThunderDan]

Please do. Mele Kalekimaka!

Bump

Since the final margin of the superbowl was 6 points, rather than 4 or less, the Packers still can't win close games.

They'll look at the film and get it fixed.

Good Bump. MM has proven he can win a championship. Expect multiple.

Winning close games is currently moot since winning a super bowl cancels out all possible weaknesses for the moment.

At the end of the day imo winning games by less than 3 is still a question.

Are you truely serious in the last line? Like I posted some where else you are probably going to be disappointed again next year. I think their will be a lot of 35-13 games. Watches us go 13-3 and lose the 3 games by a total of 9 points and the MM "shit" will continue.
