To those concerned, Abbrederis was not released. Merely an issue with his nameplate. Equipment staff is working diligently to resolve

To build off what @FO_VVerhei said, the Packers have the best run defense since the 1970 merger through four games http://pfref.com/tiny/hjyqq

It was misspelled. They are changing it to the correct spelling: G-O-O-D-S-O-N.

Ezekiel Elliott has the 4th-most scrimmage yds by a rookie thru their 1st 5 games in the last 35 seasons. 3 of Top 5 are in Hall of Fame.

But they had to get rid of somebody (somebodies?) today in order to activate Pennel and Goodson, no? I figured they would cut Price for Pennel and re-sign to Price to PS. Goodson, on the other hand, could himself be the cut they need to make.

Whoa. McCarthy "I don't know why the hell I have to come in here and answer questions about what you think went wrong on offense."

So did McCarthy not see Rodgers getting 4-5 seconds of time to throw nearly every dropback...but only complete 50% of his passes? Someone in the presser should've corrected the coach and explained why he has some questions to answer.

[Carolina_Packer]

I missed it, what did the reporter ask that caused McCarthy to say "I don't know why the hell I have to come in here and answer questions about what you think went wrong on offense."?

Obviously touched a nerve.

mm's starting to crack. it's almost been a full year of substandard offensive football.

[wist43]

The Packers offense must not stagnate, otherwise you're going to give the ball back to a ball control offense. So, if you're MM, do you run the risk of going up-tempo and possibly going three and out too often?

Up tempo or not - the problem is that the offense IS stagnate.

Like Sitton said last year - everyone knows what's coming. There isn't much motion; no real RB receiving game; the TE's aren't viable threats; and the WR's aren't world beaters. Add it up and you have a predictable, 'stagnate' offense.

We're not going anywhere again this year. My fear is that this condition will languish on year after year until after Rodgers retires, i.e. no more SB's.

[pbmax]

I think it was Demovsky asking about Rodgers pass completion percentage and how they could get it to rise. Someone made mention of the same reporter asking a similar question earlier this year.

But I haven't replayed the video at the Packers site. Almost none of the reporters Tweeted it that I saw. Haven't checked the written accounts.

And it's a press conference. Where the press ask you questions. You know, about why your offense isn't performing well after humming for close to a decade. Does he think he's above getting questioned? If so, he may have jumped the shark.

I am getting weary of both M3 and John Lennon.....

Mikey-Mike sounds like he got a bit touchy on that one. On the one hand, I think the questions about the offense are legitimate. On the other hand, I do see MM's point - the NFL is a tough place to win - they ain't giving out awards for second place - and so it might piss me off, too, if my team just won a game and dominated in yards gained and time of possession yet was getting treated like the offense never moved the ball or scored at all. I can see both sides here.

[pbmax]

It was written/recorded for posterity at JSO. He did his mini-erupt at back to back questions about his offenses need to improve.

The article isn't bad and give a good summary with comments from M3 about the change from no-huddle which I hope continues.

You are crazy. Fonzie jumped that shark.
