One of the most frustrating games I’ve seen

This game has sincerely made me ready to move on from McCarthy. On that 3rd & 3, why in the HELL would you run a fake end around and send ALL of your receivers deep?

Our defense played damn good throughout the game. I couldn’t ask them to do any more, especially with how beat up they were. Offense turned stagnant like always.

Also, when we were in the red zone late on 3rd down, Rodgers had Jones WIDE OPEN and he probably could’ve scored a TD, but definitely a first down. Instead, got sacked and had to kick the FG. I understand he had pressure in his face & he had a running lane, but I feel like that ball should’ve been dumped out immediately.

I say tank the rest of the season and get a high pick. I’m also pissed off right now so I probably don’t really mean that.

Oh, and why did Jones only get 11 carries? 12 total run plays called. What a fucking joke.

There were at least three plays tonight on which Rodgers looked Jones dead in the eyes, and then looked away . . . only to get sacked or throw an incompletion. I don't get it. For that matter, I don't get why you'd only put the ball in the hands of Jones 11 times all game. He and Adams have been carrying this offense. Why wouldn't you ride the hot hand?

Speaking of which . . .

Half our O seems to be play action shot plays when we don't even take time to establish the run. Sitting 12 is never gonna happen. Something has to change and whether McCarthy can help it or not, hes gotta go.

Take a 3 step drop, and GET THE BALL OUT.

Not to mention, do you seriously expect me to believe that the supposedly most talented quarterback in the history of the game can't run a hurry-up offense? Have they run a true up-tempo offense for even a single series this season? I can't think of one. There was one point this game where Rodgers had the offense at the line with 30 seconds on the clock, and it looked like we were finally going to see something different -- only for him to signal for a substitution and run the clock all the way down, utterly deflating any momentum they could have gained. It is beyond maddening . . . it's befuddling.

I agree, that’s what stands out to me in this game as a big reason we let it slip away. Why in the fuck would McCarthy call a slow developing play with all of your receivers running deep on 3rd & 3 at a critical point in the game? Awful.

This Twitter thread is pretty funny. Good old Tom Crabtree even gets in on the action, all but calling Mike McCarthy a total moron for his inexplicable in-game decisions.

Yet another game where the run disappears - especially when it is needed the most. When I am seeing a 3 point game with about 5 minutes left, my mind goes straight to quick passes and running the damn ball.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
