McCarthy's Playcalling

[wootah]

Rodgers wasn't his usual self in the second half.

I was under the same impression. But that hit from Peppers was absolutely brutal. I was surprised he was able to stay in the game, but it clearly affected him.

Many of his throws were low... I can only assume he took a hit/s somewhere and it affected him to whatever extent. Good news is we have to weeks to rest, get healthy, install the game plan, and get ready for the Steelers.

Did you see that stupid play the Steelers ran at the end of their game??? They actually passed it for a 1st down to run out the clock??? The won 100% of the time - that time

Capers worries me almost all the time b/c I don't trust him to stay aggressive and put an opponent away; and McCarthy worries me in close games b/c his MO is take the air out of it, and play to our greatest weakness, i.e. our running game.

Nonetheless, we're in the Superbowl again... couldn't be happier!!! Ugly wins are still wins

The last pass was on third down. After they had run to force the Jets to call timeouts.

I was a bit perturbed by his playcalling in the second half, but none of it matters. It's all about results, and McCarthy has been to an NFC title game and Super Bowl in the last four years. Let's put a championship on his resume.

I can relate to this too!

I made the prediction after last weeks win that if the game came down to McCarthty's play calling in the 2nd half, we very well could lose. He is too predictable, he thinks he has some kind of magic running game. The only time that works is when you pound the ball and tire out the defense. We don't run the ball enough for that to happen so unless the team we are playing is horrible against the run, it won't work - and surprisingly it has not. I don't understand how after all of this time, all of these years, he hasn't seen it yet.

Our best running threat late is Rodgers in the shotgun and scrambling for yards, dump off passes, easy completions.

I agree with you about the Rodgers run threat, but they had him in shotgun many times in the second half including some rollouts and he didn't have much going on.
