Blame the Unit Responsible

I'll be much happier when our negro OT gets healthy enough to play so I can bitch about him.

But then what we gonna do with the Muslim guy?

But then what we gonna do with the Muslim guy?

Persian.

[red]

it'd be much easier if we just refer to all of them as darkies from now on

then no one is offended when you call a persian guy a muslim, or get any of them confused with a negro

i mean, they all look the same anyways right?

You ought to run this idea by Dan Snyder.

Offense. The D did not make a stop when it really counted, true. But the start of that game was atrocious. Credit SF's d, for sure. But the slow adjustment and the HORRIBLE playcalling on the last drive were killers. I'm still having nightmares about that idiotic running play to Cobb. Lacy was just bashing the Niners like a sledgehammer. He should have gotten the ball at least ONCE on those final 3 plays.

RG with Lang moving to Center. This is my dream setup. Sherrod, Sitton, Lang, Bak, Bulaga with Barclay and Tretter active on gameday.

No, the persian muslim doesn't have nappy hair....did I offend anyone with that?

I didn't like the Cobb call either, but there may have been extenuating circumstances. McGinn mentioned that Lacy may have been having breathing problems late in the game. It was revealed back in November that Lacy has asthma, and there was talk then about whether that would affect him when the weather turned cold. That may have been why Lacy came out of the game at that point.

Still had the Stark plug. I really wanted to see them pound it at 'em right there on the goal line. Three straight runs - punch them in the mouth.

Then MM ensures that he has every convenience on the sideline to alleviate his condition but in that situation of nine to go and a 1st down YOU DO NOT Have Eddie Lacy OUT of the game.

He's your RB not Randall Cobb.

In any case you get James Starks in there.

James Starks shown you a 5.9 yard average in that game.

Maybe?

Mike McCarthy >>> Randall Cobb and 1st and goal from the 9 yard line is just a pure example of Mike McCarthy showcasing one of his and TT's STAR PLAYERS and:

"Boy Ohh Boy did we ever hurt while he was out."

??

The way that Mike McCarthy called that set of downs and then went for the FG is sadly:

Mike "El Pathetico" McCarthy and another of his questionable in the crunch flops calling the plays.

Get a play caller on the sidelines NOT named Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy has other really responsible tasks to take care of as the Packer Head Coach. It's evident that play calling isn't his best suit so he has to do some of the other stuff in the game that he needs to do a better job with.

Please...Thank You.

Y'all are watching the game (s) but are you seeing the game (s) ? There's a huge difference and it's a lot more that yelling over to the wife or girl/boyfriend or husband/boyfriend...friend (s) and enquiring stuff like:

a) What's the score?

b) Who has the ball?

c) Where is the ball?

d) Did Aaron hold-hold-hold...hold onto the ball in his last play?

e) Ohh .. I see. Did Aaron end up on his ass at the end of that last play? Did he fumble the ball.

f) Ohh goodie we still have the ball.

We want the defensive players eye balling the ball and you trying to see the game. Not trying to watch the game.

Why?

It's so much better for you to become a fully informed football fan...Y'all.

Get the play-caller from Carolina!

[Striker]

Even if it wasn't three straight runs, at least spread them out and give Rodgers some options. Better than trying to go east/west on such a fast defense.

I get the point, but the D did get stops when it counted, early, when the O was stuck in neutral and the defenders prevented the game from turning into a one sided affair.

San Fran has too much offense with Crabtree healthy to get shut down an entire game so the O had get it in gear earlier. Or score a TD late to give the D even more field to work with.

If I am coach, I am talking about your approach, that the D has to get one more stop. But if I am evaluating what happened in this game to prepare for the next, the offense let me down more overall.

Get the play-caller from Carolina!

Maybe not the one from Carolina, but I agree with Woody that Stubby shouldn't be calling plays. Forget the fact that fans will criticize any play that doesn't work. (I had no problem with Cobb in the backfield. It's worked before and they could have used him as a decoy/receiver.) However, I don't think Stubby is some sort of elite play-caller either. Most teams go into a game with a specific plan, some teams even have the play-calling scripted for situations. So why can't someone else, equally talented as a play-caller, handle those duties? What real difference does it make to the offense whether Stubby calls the plays or a guy like Darrell Bevel? No harm caused by trying out another play-caller this preseason.

That would free up Stubby to concentrate on game management, an area where he's done relatively poorly--mainly, I think because he's so distracted by managing the offense. I'd like to see Stubby adopt the Bellicek system. A game plan is developed. An assistant calls the plays accordingly. Bellicek has veto power and the final say. In the meantime, Bellicek is able to manage the game, offense and defense. He would also have time to communicate more with his assistant coaches...like Capers and Slocum. But most of all he'd have time to really watch the game, focus on it, get a feel for the game on both sides of the ball, like fans do.

How many times have reporters asked Stubby about a key play or a key player incident on the sideline and he's commented that he didn't see it and has no opinion about it?

Stubby should drop the clip board and really get his head into the game.

I'm with you, the game must be won by men, not boys.
