I can't believe I'm saying this, but Sanders didn't tell Collins to blow the coverage so badly.

TO.P, how many times has this D had trouble with zone?

Communication issues, coverage breakdowns, etc.

Quite simply, the Packers forte is bump and run. That's what Al is best at, and has done pretty darn well after returning from his injury. Play to the strengths of your D, which clearly has been proven many a time is not zone.


As for Collins, yeah he blew the coverage real bad, missed a tackle too, but I'm beginning to think he's playing more hurt than anyone realizes, which is really limiting his play. Given that Collins is one to throw his body around, play aggressive, his body can't sustain his style of play...

"twebdonny"At least we will get Jets Draft Picks

That plus some other draft picks I can see the Packers being really good next year.... I hope

I wish everyone would stop calling for McCarthy's head.
He's not the one that dropped that pass, or the one that hasn't been executing plays, or the guys on defense that probably couldn't even stop the Lions.


Really, I mean, if he has one bad year, you don't need to fire him.
Look at Jeff Fisher's team.
It's horrible how head coaches get fired every time a team messes up.
So STOP calling for McCarthy to get fired.

Jesus Christ, people.

"TexasPackerFan"Regardless of Rogers numbers and rating he simply has failed to make a 4th quarter comeback. After today we'll be 0-6 on games decided by 4 points or less. Until he can overcome that we're screwed.

I'm sorry....but thats rediculous. He gave us the lead with 5 minutes left, and ONCE AGAIN our defense can't stop ANYONE when the games on the line.
Plus, as was already stated, Grant dropped a pass that probably would have given us a bigger lead. (Which of course our defense would have lost to anyway)

What i DO have a problem with is the damn play calling. It SUCKED.
MM needs to get someone to call the plays, and a NEW d-coordinator.
Otherwise we will never get any better then we are now.

It's the same story every week. Our defense just can't get stops. 3rd and 19, 3rd and 17, a 40+ yard pass right after we retake the lead. The defense is just bad, and I would expect Thompson to address this problem this off season.

What has MM done to prove he deserves to continue coaching the Packers???

I miss Cullen Jenkins, badly.

"all_about_da_packers"

"buckeyepackfan"Mike McCarthy lost this game. Stupid play calling

Yup, Damn McCarthy for calling a zone defense on Northcutt's 41 yard gain...

Oh wait, that would be Sanders fault.

I'm generally defended Sanders, but for the love of God if your D can't play zone... then don't f'n call it.

I do believe MM calls the OFFENSIVE PLAYS!!!! All year long he goes into his little "play not to lose shell". Today it really showed!!!!

You guys keep right on defending TT and MM, my sig says it all.

"brnt247"Rodgers is not 0-6 in games decided by 4 points or less. The Green Bay Packers are 0-6 in games decided by 4 points or less. I'm not saying that he doesn't get some blame, but it is truly unfair to put games on one person when it was obviously a team effort.

unless its BF, of course. :roll:

It's hilarious how people forget about last year.
