Official nice things to say about Mike McCarthy thread

[mraynrand]

Payton is losing on flukes in the playoffs. He is also trying and being creative. Stubby was uncreative his last 3 or 4 years and really not very good.

Thanks god Stubby never lost a playoff game on a fluke. Those would probably get on our nerves.

Mike McCarthy

Wow. From what I read Sean Payton was always considered a much more aggressive play caller then Mike McCarthy over the years. I don’t really follow the Saints but both these 2 coaches have obviously had pretty similar careers. I do know that at some point the Saints stripped Sean Payton of his play calling duties, pretty much the same way the Packers did to MM.
McCarthy’s career took a nose dive while Payton’s stock could now be considered on the rise with a NFCC appearance, a #1 seed ranking and a C-hair away from another Super Bowl appearance just yesterday. And actually one could argue that his Saints were completely ripped off with that non-call by the referees.

And when you’re doing any sort of comparing with these 2 you have take in to consideration that Bounty Scandal on Payton’s resume, the guy was pretty much disgraced by it.

You forgot one.

You forgot one.

Favre throwing a game, playoff, season, and career-ending INT is not a fluke.

I love it when a non-plan comes together.

The Arizona game was lost due to shitty defense. The Seattle game was lost due to a total meltdown by stubby. Call them flukes if you want and it makes you feel better. Just remember there was a reason he was fired, he sucked. That was pretty much proven when no one wanted to hire him.

Saints - 2 early chances to score td and bury the Rams but had to settle for fg's. Special teams allowed a fake. Later lost on a fluke.

Packers vs Sea - twice had to settle for fg in the red zone. Special teams allowed a fake fg. Lost on a series of flukes (the balloon 2 point conversion, bostick)

Payton is a hot coach again because they had an all-timer draft and walked away with lattimore, ramczyk, kamara in the top 67 picks.

You have tunnel vision, but it's OK. Still, I find it very strange to say the Packers lost the AZ game because of their defense, when Rodgers fumbled the game away after missing Jennings on a sure TD. But the real question was whether the game was lost on a fluke, like the fluky play at the end of the Saints game. Even with your tunnel vision you should be able to acknowledge what a crazy final play it was.

Also, you Said Payton lost on a fluke. But didn't he really lose because his signature offense couldn't score more at home in the playoffs? I mean, they rang up Philly for 48 in the regular season, then barely beat them with 20 in the playoffs. They rang up the Rams for 45 and could only score 23. I believe it's a little of both - for the Packers and the Saints.

Either the team coached by a man better than McCarthy wins, or its a fluke.

So you are blaming TT? I can get behind that.
