Well this is the first time I've seen the Packers loaded with this level of talent. I knew McCarthy wasn't a great coach since they've underachieved with Aaron Rodgers. I just never thought he could be this bad until this season.
While D4H couldn't be more wrong about the talent level, and it shows especially on defense(it's young talent) it's not McCarthy's best team because he's like a dog chasing cars. He gets talent and don't know how to use it. So much of AR's prime has been wasted. Now granted he has not been great this season ane he needs to shoulder some of the blame but some of the stuff McCarthy calls absolutely baffles me.Then how come this isn't McCarthy's best team? Why is it his worst team?

Jones coming in has been a good spot and they talked about Rodgers completion percentage and I think it did have something to do with the knee but no the on field stuff has been on Rodgers. I've not been big on McCarthy for a couple years. Last year he got a pass cuz Rodgers got hurt but he has just made some bad calls. Like we always talk about in the Vols forum, it always has to fall somewhere though and Rodgers ain't going anywhere.McCarthy's time should be over, but he's become a bit of a scapegoat. Rodgers ain't what he used to be. I saw him miss open throws yesterday and he's not quite the run threat he used to be. He's not even hitting 62% of his throws this year, which puts him among the worst in the league (28th). He's only thrown 1 pick all year, which is crazy, but maybe he needs to take a few more risks because his TD% is low (lowest of his career), too.
Green Bay is 8th in yards per play and 16th in points. Is that on the coach or the QB? Noteworthy: GB is 4th in yards per carry.
I overlooked the importance of coaching once again. My God is Mike McCarthy awful. The Butch Jones of the NFL. This team has too much talent to be losing like this.
If they get a decent coach next year they will have a huge turnaround. The talent is there. All they lack if competent coaching.
For the record, I have not predicted them to win the Super Bowl. I've only said they will be the best team in the NFL during the regular season.
Playoffs are one-game elimination in the NFL. The best team does not always win. However, over a 16 game regular season, the best team typically will prove they are the best by having the best record.
I got the Packers dominating the regular season this year.
This team is not that talented. The OL is average. DL is average. Their best CB is a rookie. They traded away their best safety. Aside from D. Adams, the WRs are unproven rookies. The linebackers....do they even have linebackers? They're trash.I overlooked the importance of coaching once again. My God is Mike McCarthy awful. The Butch Jones of the NFL.

Green Bay is 12th in total defense, tied for 3rd in sacks. Their problem on D is they stink on 3rd downs and they don't create turnovers. They are 10th in total offense, but 24th in 3rd down percentage. There is the whole team in a nutshell. They stink at 3rd down which is a very overlooked stat.This team is not that talented.

You know he was talking about Cinci in that post right? He was replying to someone else talking about the swiss cheese Bengals defense.No they're not. They're not elite, but what are you talking about? They're 9th against the pass, 23rd against the run, 22nd in takeaways, 3rd in sacks, 12th in yards surrendered, and 16th in points surrendered.
