Yes...Downward spiral for YEARS!! He's only been GM for 10. not like it's 25.

I heard.
The field is in horrible shape due to the herd of unicorns.

Atleast it sounds like they are internally aware of how poor recent drafts have been.
I have defended MM's play calling in the past. Mostly because we have outplayed other teams man on man. I think that it worked because of that. I have not seen many open lanes for the RBs and open receivers. I believe that some of that is on the players. One the other hand we have not adjusted well. That's on the coaching staff. Adjustments would have helped but can only do so much. Perhaps nothing more can be done this year. I cringe at the thought of a coaching and GM change. Perhaps, all we can expect is a new season with some draft picks next year and some maturation from our current rookies.
Dumping the GM while keeping the coach always seems to be a bit tricky, unless that GM is an internal promotion. I haven't been one to clamor for Elliot because I honestly can't name one thing he's done, but he's reportedly sought after in the league. IF he's still hotly pursued an IF the powers that be are growing weary of Ted's ability/long term plans, I suppose that's a move that's certainly possible. Even if it's Ted "stepping down."
Keeping the coach is a common move when you want to blow up the roster, then he's scapegoated after the terrible season and the new coach gets a honeymoon.
Piece reads to me like MM may well have been the source. If you acknowledge pretty major problems within the coaching staff the logic of retaining MM really escapes me.

Mike Sherman.
just dawned on me that I don't recall seeing Trevor Davis on the field last Sunday, and sure enough he wasn't. found the below online. either Geronimo is all that or? how does a practice squad rookie move ahead of a rookie that's been on the 53 all along? is Geronimo that good or is Trevor being punished for his muff, or...

Packers' Trevor Davis: No snaps on offense Sunday
Davis did not play a snap on offense in Sunday's loss to the Redskins, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Davis played a season-high 36 snaps in Week 8, but with fellow receiver Geronimo Allison added to the mix that week and Ty Montgomery moving back into more of a role at the receiver position, Davis has played just 10 snaps in the three games since. With both Allison and Montgomery ahead of him on the depth chart, as well as four other players, it's unlikely he will make an impact on the offensive side of the ball anytime soon.
They must have thought Allison was a better matchup vs WAS than Davis was.
If you're going to punish players for screw-ups by lack of playing time, Barclay, Adams and Janis wouldn't even be on the roster.
Jayrone Elliot was inactive for redskin potato game as well. is he injured? I can't find anything. if not injured, so much better to have a WR active that doesn't play a down instead of a DE who could contribute. I don't know, I'm not getting some of this stuff, but that's nothing new this season.
I'm guessing there is a lot of truth to AR's lack of leadership and the defense hemorrhaging points.
Punishing a guy for his muff? That certainly is a fresh approach.
Henry posted:Problem with that is MM is the offense.
I have no doubt with a little retooling to the talent on the field they are back in it. Problem is MM isn't going to be the guy to do it.

Entering the final stretch of his 11th year as Packers head coach, McCarthy has fashioned one of the most consistently prolific offensive attacks in both franchise and NFL history.
If current projections hold, the Packers’ offense is on pace to finish inside the top 10 in both total offense and scoring for the 10th time in McCarthy’s 10 seasons as the team’s primary playcaller, and for the ninth time in passing yards.
Change is good, especially when that change is good. Baby, bath water may apply in this situation.

Rodgers finding his accuracy again goes a long way in making MM look like a savant.
I give him credit for not losing the team. A lesser leader would have had a mutiny on his hands. That said, the warts are still there. Loyal to a fault with assistants and maybe in player development, game / clock mgt and stoopid face syndrome.
Interesting that only 12 out of 32 teams have a positive turnover differential.

As a Mc game management detractor, I'll throw him a bone and say that at least he tried to hand off the duties and it was even worse!
I am glad the team got its groove back; play-calling has been pretty creative lately; Mike has tried a few new plays; think about the new Jeff Sweep (Jeff Janis reverse sweep);
We're gonna be alright, as long as Duh'vante does not drop multiple balls in a row..
For the love of frickin cripes almighty, it's an end around. Not a reverse!
Jet sweep the end is in motion and close the LOS.
End around / reverse the end is wider and further from LOS
The team's offensive production is indeed impressive, but doesn't come close to telling the entire story.
Every year, there are a handful of teams that are prolific on offense, but go NOWHERE. (See: Saints, Loins, Titans, et al.) The Packers haven't been anywhere near that bad, but reading those stats would make one think our offense is a juggernaut.
