Offense stays inconsistent, and will continue to not give the ball to Aaron Jones enough. Too many 3 & outs/short drives that keeps the D on the field against Brady too often.

I hope I’m wrong.

Unfortunately, I hit the nail on the head.

The offense simply gave up down the stretch. There's no other way to put it. They're down by two scores with under four minutes to go, and they still haven't gotten the play off with a single tick left on the play clock. They only get bailed out by the Patriots' calling a timeout. And then they fumble on the next play. Every time I watch an offense that knows how to operate a hurry-up offense, I am filled with envy. I loathe this regime a little more every time I see them barely managing to get a play off before the laundry flies. These men are professionals. There's just no excuse for it.

A look at the upcoming schedule doesn't make me feel any better either. The Packers could easily go 0-4 over the next month.

fuck McCarthy

I think MM was extended one year... so this year and next year. McDaniels can't control himself... he's twice proven that... don't want him on top!

Packers should beat the Dolphins .... question is can they beat the Seahawks and Vikings?

Mike McCarthy has lost this team. Rodgers isn’t even showing any urgency to get a play called. Taking the clock to 00 every time when they’re down 14.

Lots of teams run the play clock down like Packers do. Watch other games, you'll see. Not sure why offenses give defense the advantage there.

I never liked the fact that the Packers went ahead and extended Rodgers two years early, but after last night's (a)pathetic performance, I'm positively pissed about it. Rodgers was coming off a season-ending injury. Gutekunst should have waited to see if Rodgers could still perform at a high level before inking him to the massive pay raise -- especially in a year in which the was a significant regime change and Mike McCarthy was facing the very real possibility of becoming a lame duck. Now that it's looking increasingly probable McCarthy will be shown the door at the end of this season (he's too stubborn to step down, after all), it's looking more and more like Gutekunst should have forced Rodgers to prove himself for a year in system of whichever coach succeeds McCarthy before opening the pocketbook. Obviously, it's impossible to make sweeping judgments right now because Rodgers is grappling with yet another significant injury, yet we nevertheless have to contemplate the possibility that the Packers just made a man who's past his prime the highest-paid player in history, and we're not seeing performance anywhere close to commensurate with that lofty level of compensation.

Zero2Cool;405065Lots of teams run the play clock down like Packers do.

But most teams don't do it on almost every single play, and in any case, my point is that there's no excuse for doing it in the last few moments of the game when your only hope for victory is to score quickly and get the ball back.

AMEN to every word written here.
It was a huge mistake not to wait at least a year.
This could be a millstone around the Packers neck for years.
