They won't lose this week, but I could easily see us losing at home against Atlanta the following week. Especially if the defense remains as banged up as they currently are.

The best reason to allow Gutekunst to make the decision on his own is that Murphy let McCarthy dictate who his boss would be when Thompson was removed from his position. Murphy wanted to hire a true general manager, but McCarthy, according to a source, told his coaches that he would quit if Murphy hired Ball in that capacity, so Murphy changed his mind and created the new structure.

Murphy could have called McCarthy’s bluff and reminded him he had a contract and wasn’t going anywhere, so he’d have to accept that the new general manager had complete hiring and firing authority. Instead, he created an ill-conceived structure in which everyone reported to him instead of the general manager.

That move showed he may not have the guts to fire McCarthy, if that’s what is necessary.

The margin for error is smaller and the frequency for there to be error is greater. With Rodgers back in human form, McCarthy has to do more actual coaching now than he's ever done in his life and holy **** does it show.

I can't help but smirk while also feeling annoyed that people (especially the media, local and national) are now pointing to things as to why Mike McCarthy should be fired and they're the same things I was pointing out in like 2009.
