Official Fire Mike McCarthy Thread

Bad call, Ripley

What makes punting on 4th and 2 so bad is that there's not that much risk in it. Even if you don't make it you're still in the game. The reason is you're only down 3 points. If you don't make it you still have a chance to force a 3 and out (which you're counting on if you're punting) and hold them to a field goal. You then still have a chance to win the game with about 2 minutes left.

I too wonder what "numbers" MM was looking at. The numbers that mattered were the Seahawks being the NFL's #1 rushing team and their average in the game of 5 YPC. Somehow despite all that the chances of the defense getting a 3 and out were deemed greater than the chances of the offense gaining 2 yards.

MM is ztarting to remind me of 2005 Sherman when that Mike seemed to make some inexplicable moves as the season fell aparf.

He didn't go with numbers. That was just something to say in the press conference.

If he had any data in mind, it was that a longer field is easier to defend.

Other than his occasional mentions of numbers or analytics, there is nothing to suggest he or the numbers expert he got from the Vikings goes any further than winning teams run a lot at the end of games.

I'd rather Pettine stay DC and they hire an OC from someone else like John Defilippo.

Thank you sir

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Thank you sir

What is up, pt. Pay no attention to the Kentucky. He hated your posts at the Bubblers.

[KYPack]

Thank you sir

Yer welcome.

Oh Yeah, Tank is on here, he's just as big a bullshit artist as he was on Bubbler.

He was on here last month posting about what an "awesome poster" he was there!

It's not that bad. Most newly hired NFL coaches are walking into worse situations than what a new coach will encounter in Green Bay. A new coach in Green Bay will inherit a top 5 LT, top 5 WR, top 10 QB, top 10 RB, top 10 TE and 2 top DT's.

And Fackrell.

These are important points, but don't say whether the new coach will be better. The new coach could be worse, but better players help him win more games. Or a worse coach could ruin good players. That's why I think getting rid of Stubby may feel good, but it's less likely they get a better coach. The stipulation is that Gute/Murphy may be even a greater executive combo than we imagine, and will recruit the third most successful coach in Packer history. There's no way to know until it happens.

We need a time machine and Frank Reich.

Or, if we want some experience with college/high school offenses AND some play designing creativity, we grab Gus Malzahn as the offensive minded head coach. Or, if you want experience dealing with those offenses, we grab Kirby Smart and then steal someone from the Chiefs/Eagles to run the offense.

I thought the Bears game might have put you over the edge and you decided enough was enough, leave while the head to head record is in the Packers favor

I believe the last exciting innovation Mike McCarthy fully embraced was the microwave oven.

You're too kind. It was the cotton weave.
