Pink Elephant in the room

[KYPack]

Went to the game.

Didn't catch this bit until I watched the replay on DVR.

MM and ARod really went at one another on the sideline. What is the scuttlebutt on this exchange? The plays that were sent in prior to the squabble really did suck. Is our QB-coach relationship unraveling or what?

Tell me what's up all you insiders and local yokels.

I thought MM practically threw his team under the bus in his locker room comments with Larry McCarren. If I know the play calling tendencies I am sure the opposing D coordinator is on top of it. MM's head is worrying me as much as the offensive line. FIRST AND GOAL AT THE FIVE AND YOU RUN A PASS PLAY FOR AN INCOMPLETE. When might it be a good time to run the ball?

You know what lesson Mike will take from this game? Next year he will change the team bus routes and breakfast schedules against AFC opponents.

I think they were both frustrated that the pass game wasn't working. Nothing wrong with the HC and QB venting during a game. They really don't do it very often so I don't see anything to worry about.

Please elaborate.

Speaking of pink, can we have breast cancer awareness in Oct without the pink on the uniforms? I'll double my ACS donation if they promise not to wear pink. Especially Stubby.

It didn't look like that big of a deal to me.

they didn't show most of it on TV i guess.

they showed the one clip, then buck or troy made the comment that things really escalated from there

i mentioned in another thread that where there's smoke there's fire. people just don't blow up like that out of the blue, i think somethings been building up for awhile now

They showed a good deal of it. Not the beginning, but they ran through the point that Raji and Cobb broke it up. While I don't think this incident is particularly interesting, I do think this kind of public disagreement has become more common between the two. And its usually Rodgers who instigates.

Please elaborate.

In a game where we were up by 16 in the 3rd quarter the coach can take some responsibility. Instead of shrugging off the questions that pointed fingers at *Ross, **Franklin, ***the line, ****the receivers, *****and defensive players with personal foul penalties he agreed with the questioner and called out Perry in particular. That was an interesting game, but it was a game that shows that McCarthy's team is not ready yet. Usually MM is a stand up guy and yesterday he was pointing fingers at individual players.

*Ross sucks, but he wasn't the one dumb enough to keep him at KO return.
**Did Franklin get the ball cleanly?
***Okay, the line might have not deserved the coach's protection, but it never hurts to give it to them anyway.
****Same as above.
*****He really singled out Perry for a public flogging on the late hit.

I dunno swede. Shrugging off those questions is pretty par for the course. He is not going to take the blame for every bum play. Some of those players deserve some part of the blame and McCarthy simply avoided piling on.

Perry's hit, on review was about as dumb as it gets. Borderline late and he drives his helmet down. He should have been called out.

I thought he did pile on. I was more angry at McCarthy than the players after the game, and I thought he let the fingers be pointed at individuals. I should not have said that he pointed the finger at players.

Well, I would have forgiven him if he would have said, "Oh, and I don't think I had my best day either."

[Maxie the Taxi]

Stubby looked shell-shocked after the game, almost like he was surprised it was over. Maybe he thought Rodgers batted pass to Jones came on third and five.

[mraynrand]

Swede, I was counting on you to be a dispassionate reporter about locker room events, and you've let me down. But I share the blame for blindly believing you.

[swede]

Well, he allowed Larry to blame the loss on the mistakes of individual players as long as his own performance seemed to be going unexamined.

That wasn't my most honest post and I'm going to work on that over the bye week.

Let's get that fixed.

I'm still confused about how Larry can intentionally point his stinky pinky at anyone
