CUPackFan posted:Ha thanks guys. Reason #1,897 why I'm not an NFL coach. Kind of wish MM would have done that now rather than let Schum shank one.
This is why you need a a guy dedicated to this stuff. No way you can figure all that out while worrying about other HC duties. Pay some saber nerd 50k to be in your ear with this stuff.

Packers haven't just run the table, they've been beating the spreads, too.
Oh Aaron, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
You're making Goldie jealous.... 
Way too many pluses.
But here is a huge minus in play calling in the 4th quarter.
| 5:35. |
| ||||
| 5:30 |  | Aaron Rodgers incomplete pass to the left intended for Davante Adams defensed by Nevin Lawson. | 23 | 17 | |
| 5:26 | | Penalty: Too Many Men on Field on Lions (DeAndre Levy) 5 yards. | 23 | 17 | |
| 5:21 |
|
And here is where things got a lot better:
| 4:35 | Ty Montgomery rush to the right for 9 yards to the Det25. Tackled by Tavon Wilson. | |||
| 3:50 | | Ty Montgomery rush to the middle for 4 yards to the Det21. Tackled by Tyrunn Walker. | 23 | 17 |
| 3:03 | | Packers timeout. |
MM should have RTFB at the 5:35 mark instead of becoming pass happy.
For the "fans" who want something newer, sexier, more "aggressive"; I hope McCarthy and Thompson get lifetime contracts after this.
"B-b-but he doesn't call enough screen plays!! We're not aggressive enough in free agency!"
SHADDUP. Go follow the Bills/Jaguars and then get back to me.
I read on this site inthe first half that the fix was in. What happened? Have any kneecaps been broken? Is Bogar still alive?
Playing Geronimo puts Jordy in the slot, where he has a cleaner release off the LOS. It also makes our receiving corp physically bigger.
In the immortal words of Roy Scheider, "We're going to need a bigger table."
Digging Geronimo. There's no turning back with that guy.... Upside could be something else.

D*mn right. 
"MM RTFB you dolt! Don't get cute"
"MM why would you take the ball out of Aaron Rodgers hands! Go for the throat you pussy!"

Classic. Another reason to love x4. Between Ted's trolling everybody, great analysis, and fan schizophrenia and community this place has no peer. Thanks again, Boris!
There is no winning with play calling and second guessing. We won the game.
Rockin' Robin posted:CUPackFan posted:Not exactly. I was thinking the same thing but with Detroit's one timeout, the Packers were going to have to punt if they didn't get a first down. Yes, MM could have taken the knee and then punted but no coach would do that. You don't kneel if you can't end the game.1:30 Kneel
1:28 Detroit TO
1:26 Kneel complete
:47 GB TO with one on play clock
:45 Kneel complete
:06 GB TO with one on play clock
Either punt up 14 with 6 seconds left or run around for 6 seconds then go down
That all assumes GB takes minimum amount of time for kneel down and play clock starts right away after kneel down. You go back an extra yard on each play, I think game ends without even having fourth down play.
It could have easily been done. And yes, you can kneel if you don't end game - GB did exactly that after the first down play.
Exactly.
MM is really bad at clock management.
Why risk more injury, heading into the playoffs, which is exactly what happened to Spriggs.
And why hand the ball off to #40 at such a critical time...who even is #40?

So Datone takes Viagra? TMI!
+ Geronimo!
Rip! (About time we use him as a ball carrier!)
Safeties stepped up and did a good job of covering receivers after Q. Went down. I thought
Gunter did well, too. He may not have great speed, but he does a lot with what he has.
Monty.
ARod
Jordy is totally back, baby!

Injury to Spriggs. And the possibility of Barclay getting on the field= bad mojo.

Is anyone else watching Fumagali and thinking he would sure look good in Green & Gold? :-)
It'll be tough to draft Fum since he'll be taken before pick #32.
maybe in 2018. He's certainly not a first round pick right now
Maybe. Maybe not. The combine, potential for growth, and the individual/private workout in Madison will determine that, too.
You forgot the combine.
and a comma
Commas, are there, just gotta,, combine them.
EDIT: I had meant to write individual workout in Madison. Thanks, Grammar Police! Now, punctuation was correct at least.
that, too.
Unnecessary comma. Since you brought it, up.
Fum is a junior, won't declare for the draft because he will not get that high of a rating. It is just silly to see a guy have a good game and immediately declare he will be a first round draft pick.
Dang it. I knew I should've paid attention in my writing classes!!! I know he's a Junior and all - but after today's game and this season for the most part - he's proved himself. He does have some things to work on, but I don't think he'll stick around. I hope he does. I'm sure he'll get all the advice he needs from Mel Kiper.

Love that smug SOB!
If someone told me that picture was taken after the Seattle game I wouldn't doubt them.
Four coaches have made the playoffs eight consecutive years in NFL history.
Tom Landry, Chuck Knoll, Bill Belichick, and Mike McCarthy.
Has Mike benefited because his QB is Rodgers? Yep. The other three coaches had a similar player. It's also much, much harder to make the playoffs on a regular basis in the FA era. Six teams that made the playoffs last year didn't make it back this year.
MM is the man.....I was wrong earlier this year, a perfect fit in GB as long as he wants to be there.
Agreed. I was ready for a change earlier this year but MM righted the ship, got everyone on the same page, kept a steady demeanor, and most of all, got AR to settle down and see that he was part of the problem -- and all those other cliches. I figure he's good at 1265 for at least another decade or so. Best part is how he handles adversity; he doesn't toss guys under the bus or lash out in public. Pure professional and perfect for GB.
Bitch about play calling. Bitch about clock management. Bitch about groupings. Bitch about whateverthe****youwant.
We're not likely to see a more successful coach of the Green Bay Packers in our lives. And I'd bet over half of this board would ****ING LOVE TO SEE HIM GONE.
You'll get your wish someday, Nancy. Just stay alive long enough.
He deserved criticism when the offense was listless and they were losing. He deserves credit for the team's turnaround.
It doesn't matter who the coach is, people are going to piss and moan about this decision and that. From who plays/doesn't, play calls, in-game adjustments or (gasp!) decisions, they catch hell for it all.
I'm willing to bet every coach from Lambeau to Lombardi, even Bart and Forrest, to Holmgren and McCarthy has been bitched about just as we do today.
And, of course, it goes without saying that WE know ALL the correct answers...
It's what fans do.
