MM was saying this was going to be his "best" OL before the season started. I bought it. What a letdown.

Most important thing I want to see from Eddie is a marked improvement in his sloppy ball security of late.  The Packer offense isn't functioning well enough to overcome turnovers.

That goes for Starks as well. 

Sources: McCarthy reclaims offensive play calling

Mike McCarthy is following the advice of people in the organization urging him to call plays, but he had been reluctant because of the negative perception it might create about his staff.

I see DAL brought enough drama for both teams today.

Rodgers not happy McCarthy is calling plays

Aaron Rodgers has felt his voice has sometimes been lost in the play calling, and with Mike McCarthy calling plays again, the quarterback is not happy.

About 1/2 way down the page is the link. A brief podcast from Wilde who is claiming AR isn't happy.

Since this is from Wilde and ESPN I don't put much stock in it.

Catts?

For those not wanting to download the BSPN podcast about AR supposedly not being happy about it, the headline is based on this:

Wilde said Jay Glazier "believes" AR is "probably" not happy with MM taking over the playcalling, because:

1) He saw MM and AR talking, then saw the 2 hug;

2) as AR walked away, he looked at Glazier and said, "What a week!";

and 3) AR has been continually to this point backing Clements publicly and insisting Clements is not the problem with the offense.

Based on this, Glazier believes AR is probably not happy with the move, according to Wilde.  

Of course, this makes for a great dramatic headline when in fact it could mean the exact opposite, that AR has been toeing the party line for MM and finally convinced him to take the duties back and hugged him in thanks.  Or it could have nothing to do with the move at all.

But whatever BSPN, you got me to click, so shame on me I guess.

Exactly.  Because hearsay of a reporter's opinion is SO RELIABLE and SUCH big news. BSPN strikes again. 

If they win and look good on offense, then plenty will shut up. Winning cures a lot as we all know. But if that does happen, I can't see that Tom Clements has a future here. Going back to Clements days at Buffalo, many weren't impressed with this promotion to begin with.

I thought I specifically heard AR say we need to do more schematically to get guys open.  We have pick plays in this system.  They've used them this year, but all we saw were the deep "beat your guy" routes.

You rang??????

I see the dried up old prune is still alive. Which is probably a good thing, except on a PACKER message board. Hope she doesn't ruin the game thread again.

If AR is pissed because his "voice" will be lost in the offense with MM calling plays, good.  Because obviously the combination of AR and TC on offense hasn't been juggernaut worthy.

Much ado about nothing, reporters get clicks....

She'll have a lot of competition these days

Wilde and Glazier are excellent reporters and brilliant human beings. They both deserve Pulitzers.

Rodgers in his presser just now: In response to his thoughts on the play change to MM and his reaction: "Im not going to get into that. It's not important. What's important is we won the game tonight and had a good 4th Q"

Watching it live, he seem annoyed he had to answer that. Just maybe AR isn't happy about it.

But he's correct in the bottom line: They won the game. And that's what matters.

Rodgers cracks up media by saying biggest adjustment w/ play calling was understanding McCarthy’s “Pittsburgh dialect.”

Speculation is awesome. 

It is always right.

The defense has generally been good this season.

No OL can succeed when you are waiting on no one to get open.

Rely on them to do their job?  Yeah.

Point 2 spot on. Point 1 not.

About what? About having to answer a stupid question about a BSPN reporter's blind speculation?

Yeah I'd be annoyed as well.
