Quoted from Ronnie1114:Annd that's the nail in McCarthy's McCoffin...
And that’s a mistake. Guy is 125-77, with a super bowl ring. Meanwhile the kicker has blown four, count em four games this year. Actually, If anybody needs to go it’s mark murphy. How do you release ha ha Clinton Dix? Hello? How is that not the front offices fault? And what of getting rid of jordy Nelson? Was he an “a” receiver, no. But a solid all around player. How many trades did mike have to deal with? A season decimated by injury, boneheaded trades and ya can the coach. Sorry mike is just the canary in the coal mine in this dumpster fire. And I’m gonna go out and say it, but first I want to say Aaron rodgers is definately in the top 3 qb’s ever to play the game, but I’ll say it. Aaron is not the same. A career of injuries have taken a toll. Maybe mikes play calling was to cover for Aaron’s slipping talents. Idk, we’ll find out. Did I think it was time to move on? Maybe. But the packers did it the wrong way. Ya don’t fire a coach that gave you a Lombardi trophy in the middle of a season. Ya offer him a “ retirement” complete with lambeau sendoff at the end of the year and let him “spend more time with family”. This is just not classy. How will other prospective coaches feel now about GB?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:They have a ton of money and their immediate future tied up in aaron Rogers.
Rodge wanted mike gone bad so it had to be that way. I don’t blame them for shitcanning him today it was time.
And what happens when things don’t change next time around. Reminds me of old adage, every time you point a finger at someone, there’s a few pointing back at you.
Not saying I disagree completely here, just saying the whole organization is on thin ice. Packers have a TON of cap money tied up in one guy here. Who costs more Aaron or McCarthy? Who should shoulder more responsibility?? Is it fair to pay someone a fraction of the other and hold him more responsible? The whole dynamic is neither fault exclusively. The front office has created a monster problem, and they’re blaming everyone but themselves.
I’ll stick to my statement, and 90% of national media and coaches would agree.
Last year he was out hurt, and this year he’s stunk things up. Given.
Quoted from Deaconblooze:I don't completely disagree with your sentiment in some ways. Except that SB came 8 seasons ago, with the same QB. The talent is not as bad as some would have you believe. Releasing 87 may have been a mistake, but not egregious. We thought we had a great trio of receivers in Adams, Cobb, and Alison. Jordy hasn't done much in Oakland. He was good with 12 because of their timing, but he was otherwise a pretty average all-around receiver.
I do completely agree that Murphy has done nothing but hurt the Packers. He's done nothing as far as football operations - MM and TT were in place when he took the job. When TT "stepped down", he hired a firm to find the next GM (even though our candidate pool was filled with guys already in our system). He also made himself a de facto owner, making the GM and HC positions much less appealing than they were previously. He's a buffoon, and I want him gone more than anyone.
I disagree that Crosby lost us many games.. It should never be so close (especially when you're 14 point favorites) that you blame the kicker for missing a long field goal attempt in the elements of a GB winter. He's had an off year - but our entire ST has been as bad as I've ever seen.
MM just didn't get it. Much of the criticism of MM was that he wasn't aggressive enough. He responds by going for it on 4th and 2 by running a triple reverse play action with only one target down field. That's not how it's done. Throw high percentage passes and keep your offense on the field. His use of timeouts (or 12s, but he's the coach, so he needs to get it under control either way) was abysmal, and cost us more game opportunities than kicking ever did.
Rodgers needs someone that will come in and put him back in his place. Someone needs to come in and slap the 4 out of him. He's a member of the team, and needs to start acting like it. MM failed to get that done. He hired a QB coach and said himself that he brought in that coach to bring up young talent, NOT to coach 12. That was a mistake.
I'm nervous for the next chapter. I don't think we'll have any shortage of coaching candidates. Firing midseason is out of character for us, but so is laying an egg at home in December with the playoff hopes on the line against one of the worst teams in the league. Don't cry for MM, he'll make millions someplace else, and he'll be in the GB HOF.
A very fair analysis, ya ever get up here ill buy ya a beer. Im in gb today, alot of anti murphy sentiment up here as well. Although i dont know how achange at that level would happen. He thinks the team is his.
Quoted from TheLaw:Most likely because it kind of is.
Lol, ya kno what i mean. Hes not THE owner. I am A owner, and i assume he is A owner. But he is not THE owner.
Quoted from Whysnow:Also, for reference Solider Field is closer than Lambueau for the majority of the population of the state.
True, which is why the packers used to play a few games a year at county stadium in Milwaukee. No other reason than keep support from going to Chicago. They stopped doing that in the 90’s in the early Favre era.
Quoted from Whysnow:I wish they would still do that. Would be really cool to go.
Absolutely, maybe one at camp Randall, one At Miller Park. Maybe at least alternate, once per year. So every other year a venue gets the game.
It’ll never happen prob, but would be cool.

Never thought I’d say it but go Vikings! After we push aside the Seagulls like a stiff arm block, it’ll be Vikings-Packers at Lambeau for the nfc championship! I can dream can’t I?
Quoted from Deaconblooze:Nope. I considered it, but it was logistically challenging for me for this one. How about you?
Ya, we’ll be there unless somebody buys our tics on ticketmaster tonight.
