If that makes sense in your head, you might want to consider seeing a psychiatrist. I'm not just trying to hate here, but these are the types of opinions that make reading message boards, by and large, pretty useless.

What in your experience leads you to believe that Mike McCarthy or any other coach gives a damn about what fans think? What makes you think that he would change his play calling so that you'll feel just a little bit warmer at night when you go to bed and ponder the relative merits of the Favre situation? That's a pretty naive and self-important point of view.

I have no problem with speculating on the team or reasons why Coach does certain things, but let's try to keep those wild speculations football related at the very least.

So what sounds more plausible? Your theory or that maybe Coach is playing it conservative because that's what the play of the offensive line has dictated? Deep routes take time to develop. Hence, if the line can't give the QB time, deep routes aren't really an option are they?

I'm also not ruling out that there has been zero significant difference in the play calling from last year to this year. Obviously we can't know without the data, but it's possible selective memory is playing a large part in a perceived difference in the play calling. If anyone can pull up data on pass attempts over 15 yards or so this year compared to last year, I think it would be interesting to take a look.

HAHA obviously you didn't actually read my post, i was pretty clear that I don't like the play calls and there needs to more aggressive play calls... its NFL not a kiddy league. But having a first year starter and telling a HOF QB we dont want him is a risky move in itself. The O-Line not doing their part is a huuuge part of it, i def agree with that. I dont think Mike McCarthy or any NFL coach cares what fans think...?

Thanks Longtime. One stat I'd like to see though is percentage of runs on 1st down in '08 compared to percentage of runs on 1st down in '07.

I would feel a little better if I would once see Mike McCarthy come unglued on this team, or should I say specific portions of this team that repeatedly make the same mental errors.

I talking about dropping the hammer on the oline play, arm tackles, bad angles, poor containment, missed blocking reads, drops and a general lack of fire.

We came out in the Cowboy game with fire.. and it disappears quickly.. we looked sharp in the opening drives yesterday and this evaporated in the humidity of Tampa.. someone needs to provide a kick in the ass on this team.. Mike McCarthy that be your call.

I think offensive line play might need a new face. I think Josh Sitton might be inserted as stater sooner rather than later. Maybe that'll improve it a bit. I really don't know.
