    Ponder This ----------- Does McCarthy Need To Step Away From Calling Plays?

    Yeah , I'm back from the dead. I've been beating this drum for a while now, but I think being head coach and calling plays is just too much information to digest in the short amount of time given in between plays. I think coach Mike should put his ego aside and let a capable assistant (or Rodgers) call the plays, so he can focus on managing the game, and knowing the rules (red flag etiquette for starters). I think it is virtually impossible in today's NFL, to be effective holding down both positions. No, I don't think he's not doing a good job calling plays, but he's hurting the team ( see exhibit 1, today's game). May the tongue lashings begin, it's good to be back.

      McCarthy is doing just fine as a playcaller. In the game I just watched, it was the defense that was the problem...shoddy tackling, stupid penalties, blown coverages, etc.

      Most NFL teams do a horrible job with the challenge flags. Ultimately, it is something that needs to be delegated...and for the most part it is. Coaches have someone in their ears telling them when to toss a flag. McCarthy let his anger get the best of him today...just as Tramon did. Maintaining composure is most often the key to winning in big games.
      It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

        But Jordy should not have given that red hankie back to McCarthy. He messes up more challenges!

          It's seems fairly clear that he blew a few timeouts today, and was lucky he didn't cost us a TD. And I SAID, I thought he was doing a good job calling plays, but there isn't a human alive, that can do both jobs effectively in the small window of time available. Looking at the big picture, not just reacting to a gut wrenching loss that really means nothing.

            Huh??? We hung up 34 points and scored on 6 of our last 7 possessions and I believe we were 6 scores on 9 possessions for the game. I like that production from my O.
            But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

              Me too. It was our defense and its inability to tackle that killed us today. Thank god we didn't need this game to get into the playoffs. The bye would have been nice but the we did okay the last time we kept on playing.

                That was a bad loss today. An unfortunate loss.

                I say let's let him try to get it right this next week; after that look more closely at MM.

                He should know his errors. Let's see how he adjusts.

                GO PACKERS !

                  MM doesn't call the D (the side of the ball that lost the game for us). Dom Capers does.

                    And he called a timeout prior to a fourth and eleven, and then punted the ball. Then on the next possesion, when they could have a challenged an obvious drop, they couldn't, because he frickin wasted a timeout for no reason. And then the red flag fiasco should have bit him in the ass, but Mike the Ref bailed his ass out. Game management my friend.

                      Big Mac is damn lucky he didn't cause more damage than a 15 yard penalty on that play. Even Jordy Nelson and ARod knew he fucked up throwing the flag like he did.
                      Still, the last thing we need is handing over the the play calling duties to Tom Clements. Not that he isn't good, but because he's not used to the role and we're in the tournament now. Less change is better this time of year.

                        Then maybe you need to change the title of this thread. It specifically says play calling. I thought the last two weeks his play calling his been excellent.

                          Just to be clear, I am not suggesting making a change anymore this season, just food for thought next season and beyond. Kind of ironic we have a Jim Jones ( no.89) playing for the Pack

                            Well I thought it would be assonine to suggest he give up the head coaching gig to call the plays. It's about the REASON he shouldn't, and can't do both. (in my humble opinion)

                              What he needs to to is change his start of the game script. Every week the Pack starts of with a big nothing drive to give the other team momentum.
