Lets ask MM some "why"? questions

Why have you all but abandoned the screen game when defenses are selling out to go after Rodgers?

Why is the sky blue?

Dude, light refraction talk is not allowed on these boards. Go ban yourself.

Why not slant, slant, slant, screen, dive, slant TD?

LANGUAGE!

Although I would like to ask why the deep bombs on 3 and short in all seriousness.

Why not more runs by Cobb out of the backfield?

Why not dump it off when everyone is covered?

Why not stop woody from grabbing?

What's up with Finley's hands? And no separation, no YAC, and crap blocking?

Why is everyone so flat starting a game and the third quarter?

Why not make Slocum the OC? Since his squad is the Packer's only correctly functioning unit.

the lack of screen passes is somewhat mystifying. as is the constant empty backfield on second down.

To Cobb, Cobb, Jones, Green, Benson, Cobb.

Why not give EDS a try at center? Could he do any worse then Saturday right now?

Why have you abandoned the short/intermediate passing game and seemingly continue to try and hit the deep strike when it isn't happening?

IOW, why not move the chains, keep the clock running, and keep the D off the field?

Why is it such a long, painful season?

Why do the refs hate Shields?

Minus two bogus calls, two more victories.

Why is there no killer instinct on this team? This team needs to step on the throats on the other team and not let up.

yeah, what IS up with dat?

Mike, why do you continuously try to run to the left side when our two best lineman are on the right side?

Why the **** do you continue to play DJ Smith on obvious passing situations? Did Robert Francois pee on your shoes?

...can't get deep enough in coverage & at 5'11" QB's are throwing over him.

Great thread. Really encapsulates the frustration we're all feeling...

Why has no one at 1265 Lombardi noticed that NE has the number 1 offense in the league in large part becasue they have decided to run the ball at defenses hell bent at stopping Brady and their passing game?

191 rushes against 185 pass attempts after 5 weeks. And the great Stevan Ridley is currently 4th in the NFL in yardage!

GB after 5 games. 190 pass attempts against 111 carries.

I know MM and AR believe they can throw this offense out of the fog that they are currently in. But why try? This offense will get better as soon as they commit to running it between the tackles 25 times minimum each game.

16 rushing attempts yesterday against a 6 man front is simply refusing to accept it might be time for plan B.

If we had Logan Mankins along with his YAC we wouldn't be having this conversation... AND we'd be averaging 5.3 yards/carry.

WHY?

Why can't you learn from you clock management errors?

Not sure who it was, but one of the post game hosts on the radio stated this is why the Packers lost.

Rather than run the ball to chew up clock time, the Packers decided to step on the Colt's throat and pass pass pass.... definitely a different take on things!

That was Norv Turner's strategy last night also - funny how both teams came from ahead to lose.

Why did you throw the ball so much in the third quarter when Packers just completed their most successful offensive half this season when using a balanced attack?

We aren't at Defcon 4 on MM yet, but in case we head in that direction I offer as a public service this 2009 Timesfour thread as some already written material that some might want to reuse:

http://timesfour.com/eve/forum...=295102842#295102842

Below are some choice excerpts that posters here might want to use or expand upon for this year:

"TT screwed the pooch on the offensive line."

"How in god's name didn't you blitz the **** out of the rookie QB..."

"running backs didn't get the ball nearly enough"

"Trade or cut Rodgers...He just cannot trust himself to get rid of the damn ball"

(and that's just the first page of the 14 page thread---and in all candor you will read I also was calling for MM head's in midseason 2009.... guess now I will wait out the season! )

"WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON OUT THERE??!!"

"I thought they (Colts) played well," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "Obviously, a tough week for them. I thought they played with a lot of emotion, a lot of energy."


Why don't the Packers play with emotion, show some fire?

Your team lacks focus Mike ... are your Positional Coaches committed and up to the challenge of keeping their players focused, are therr changes in approach/routine that need to happen?

I have to keep reminding myself that despite their 2-3 record they've had just about everything go wrong for them this year, including a game taken away by the refs (Seattle) and injuries to key positions (Benson, Bishop, Jennings). The mojo effect hasn't worked either (see Indianapolis with the Chuck Pagano karma).

After this week against Houston, their schedule really starts to put things into focus. They've only played 1 division game and they've beaten Chicago, so that's a plus.
