The Official Fire Mike Pettine Thread

[bobblehead]

I'm on board with firing Pettine, but lets be clear about one thing. They were not responsible for sunday. Rodgers had a stinker of a game. He was on MVP pace. He will continue to have a great season. The defense will continue to have issues. But over reacting to one game where our QB played his worst game in years is...well, what fans do.

I wouldn’t say, “the defense will continue to have issues” just yet. Let’s see what happens coming up. They got better as the year went on last year

[texaspackerbacker]

Packers are blitzing slightly more this year than last year. They're just not as effective. Pressures are down by about a third.

I assume you have stats to back that up? Because it sure as hell ain't noticeable. I see a lot of Z. Smith just slowly penetrating, acting like a D Lineman, but I'm talking about (and maybe you remember) those mad rush Martinez or Thomas inside rushes we used to have or an occasional DB blitz like how Jaire got us that safety - which apparently he did on his own. They shoulda incorporated that into the scheme at times.

They certainly weren't single handedly responsible but they also haven't been contributing to wins. They haven't forced a turnover since the Saints game and even that was more a botched play by Hill versus anything the defense did. They're allowing red zone TD's 76% of the time which is 29th in the league.

Guys like Savage, Greene and Barnes are blitzing. They're not getting through though.

Savage has regressed which is just horrible. Not sure what’s going on. He had such a promising rookie year. He was supposed to be this uber talented player with superstar instincts and I gotta tell ya his instincts are very very questionable at this time. He is all over place and not in the right place half the time and something is not right. He is not fulfilling his assignments consistently!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Amos doesn’t look like anything like he did when he played for the Bears or even at times last year. He might be trending down at 27. He just isn’t the same player. He used to be way more explosive. Something isn’t right!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Throw in the disappearance of Preston Smith and you can see why the defense has regressed so much!!!

Does rashan Gary make Petrine better ?

[GB-Brandon]

Does rashan Gary make Petrine better ?

Depends if we’re talking about work out videos or actually playing football!!

[Joemailman]

Bump.

[Bretsky]

Is Pettine any better ?

[Freak Out]

Brutal day.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm on board. Let's get one of these hot shot candidates a shot.

[texaspackerbacker]

The way they played today, yeah, I'd certainly be ok with getting rid of Pettine. With the lame-assed D personnel we have, especially in the line, I'm not so sure somebody else would make much difference.
