Green Bay Packers - Fired McCarthey - Page 91 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

He obviously isn't playing as well as last year, but he's still playing well overall. He's really had nothing to work with in the first three game. Receivers aren't getting open and his line isn't blocking at all. He's running for his life as soon as the ball is snapped and when he does get protection, lots of times he can't find anyone the slightest bit open.

He's doing much better than the vast majority of QB's would given similar circumstances.

3rd and 17- Conversion. 3rd and 14- Conversion. Saints receivers are running wide open. You can't play Russell Wilson every week. Same awful defense.

And why even risk Graham Harrell in the game? Use your last TO to give Rodgers more time. Harrell is a clown who can't even be trusted with a simple handoff.

how do you know if he'd be ready to go after what might be a 30 sec TO?

Rodgers blind in one eye is still infinitely better than Graham Harrell. Pack back up by 1, as usual this will come down to the defense.

That holding call may have saved the season. McCarthy should put the ball in Rodgers hands here and end it right now. Don't give Brees a chance against this defense.

Refs might have legit needed an armed escort out of GB if the Packers didn't win

Yeah, Harrell managed to **** up in one play. We're ****ed if Rodgers ever has to miss a game

I know that last fumble by sproles was not reviewable, but lets just say it was reviewable or it was a different spot which was reviewable. Why would you use your challenges on stupid plays earlier in the game? Especially the Jordy catch challenge. Any idiot could have told you that was a waste before you threw your flag!!!

Although I don't think it's really fair to be too critical of McCarthy throwing a challenge there. It's a really really tough real time decision based on imperfect information. Screwing it up is pretty understandable imo. Unlike a lot of the down and distance stuff which is just unforgivable.

They lost 3 key players, if you can count Finley as key, but the defense still should have been able to stop a rookie QB. The Colts had a makeshift offensive line and they did nothing. The one play they did sack Luck and make him fumble they got called for a BS roughing the passer but that's typical for this year. Defense still can't stop anybody and Crosby can't make any kicks when it matters. They never really needed him in their 2010 Superbowl run. And now they're 2-3 going to Houston next week. This team is in trouble.

This team is an enigma. They have way too many problems and inconsistency to be good, but I wouldn't be shocked if they beat Houston who seems much better than them.

The Packers are capable of beating the Texans, but they could also get embarrassed.

Offense is struggling, but they did put up what should be enough points to beat the Colts.

It feels like the defense has been a problem for the 2000s. I can't remember the last time the D had to come up big and I felt confident that they could.

On the Superbowl run the defense made some huge plays, but it feels like that was just variance.

I have obviously seen way worse Packer teams than this, but this is by far the most frustrating team of my lifetime. It feels like 4th and 26 every week.

We've got the ability to crush the texans.... and get blown out by them depending on what Packer team shows up. The Packers play isn't giving me too much confidence atm tho
