I'm guessing he didn't challenge that catch because if he lost it, they would've been out of timeouts. Which again, falls on him for completely wasting two second half timeouts in the first place.

I'm beyond sick of the long developing deep plays on 3rd & short, though. If it's 3rd and 2 or 3rd and 3, just get the first down. Don't send everyone downfield and risk a sack or an incomplete pass on a relatively low percentage play.

Might be best to just lose next Sunday too. I was thinking about this last night. If miraculously this team actually were to win out in the regular season, what's the ceiling for this team? A divisional game loss? Which could actually save McCarthy's job? Yeah, I'll take a hard pass on that.

Yeah some reporter needs to just directly ask why seemingly every 3rd down play is the longest developing plays ever.... well except when it's like 3rd and 12 then they run a give up bubble screen and punt.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Or why they never run on 3rd and short.

The frustrating thing with this team is that they've shown that they're more then talented enough to win on the road even against the elite. Rams, NE and now Seattle are all games the Packers probably should've won.

However moral victories are shallow and while there have been things that have popped up throughout those games out of his control it ultimately falls on the HC. This game just cost MM his job (fitting because this game really showcased his faults on national TV)

More than ever, the margin of error that decides winning or losing is razor thin.

A competent coach can really put us over the hump.

It’s fitting that this game was a callback to the NFCCG and our inability to really bury a team when we should.

We had the ball up 14-3 and couldn’t demoralize them by going up three scores.

We also had 3 opportunities to push the lead to double-digits in the second half, but couldn’t even get field goals let alone a TD to push the lead to 11.

Just so frustrating.

Has anyone in the media ever asked McCarthy and/or Rodgers about why pretty much every game the offense has to waste timeouts because the play clock is running down?

It's always hard to tell whether the play was sent in to slowly to Rodgers or if Aaron wastes to much time time at the line of scrimmage doing whatever he's doing?

Given how often it happens, this is something which the media should be asking those two, yet unless i missed it, i don't recall this being addressed.

I'm not talking about just yesterday. I'm talking about nearly every game for a long time.

I don't think this will have much effect, Graham has really been underwhelming. More Tonyan is a good thing.

Going back to that Rams game, I am still laughing my ass off at trying to run it up the middle backed up in our own end zone. The Rams are the last team in the league you run that play in that situation against. You could make a pretty strong case that the Packers could be 8-2 or maybe 7-3 right now with not even a great coach, but just an average one that isn't a complete dolt.

Answer me honestly here and don't hold back- would you say you're starting to sour on Mike McCarthy?

I'll be totally honest, I am starting to. I saw a couple red flags in the game Thursday that make me think that maybe, McCarthy isn't that good of an NFL head coach. I heard he's a pretty cool guy away from the field though, so I am not sure if the Packers should fire him.


Haha.
