He did the exact same thing in Seattle a couple if years ago and you all blasted him for it.
After Burnettes interception The Packers ran the ball 3 times to make Seattle use their timeouts, then punted.
Some of you just look for things to bitch about.
The only thing stupid is YOUR STATEMENT calling Mike McCarthy stupid.
EDIT: Can't wait for Uffda to start posting again, then you 2 can have 20 page discusions on who is smarter.
It will be like you are arguing with yourself!😎

First, There are bad decisions and those that are stupefyingly roundhouse stupid.
Second, In Seattle, after the Burnett INT there was 5:04 left and Seattle had 3 TOs, the game was not even close to being over; the Det. game was over if GB kneels x 3.
Third...you bet I was critical of the 3 runs in Seattle, but the object of the criticism was Rodgers, not McCarthy. Those 3 runs were not the product of McCarthy's offense or call; the 3 runs were the antithesis of Mike's offense. Those 3 runs were either called or not changed by Rodgers when Ray Charles could see failure was imminent. This was one example in a convincing portfolio of a 3-quarter-MVP QB choking in the 4th, not Mike being roundhouse stupid.
I also mused that McCarthy would be homeless, if not for football. It was [thought to be anyways] an amusing/interesting way of explaining this outrageous/egregious faux pas. It's like when guys have difficulty processing a playbook because they're dyslexic; it is not about them missing a random concept, there is a structural barrier interfering with their processing of a playbook.
McCarthy is a freakin' genius; but he has a mental structural barrier that prevents him from seeing the obvious in some situations. Like when SF got an extra down on the CM3 OOB hit on Kapernick, calling time outs to aid the other team at end of 1st half; or some of his challenges.
McCarthy needs to hire or have another coach already on the staff, offer some of the obvious suggestions. Like someone could have said after Hyde INT, "Okay, if we kneel 3 times Det. will have about 7 seconds after the punt;" or "if you wait to call time out after they fail on 3rd down, we'll have :45 seconds to get in scoring position and have an extra time out."
