More talk from McCarthy. I'll be impressed when he doesn't talk about changing or correcting things but does.

To be fair to McCarthy, he has the youngest roster in the league for the 3rd straight year.

It isn't as if McCarthy jumps up and down, begging Ted to give him the youngest roster in the NFL to work with. A lot of the players are in their first couple of seasons, and are still getting adjusted to the NFL speed, the detail, and the sheer volume of the Defensive calls.

Mistakes happening over and over again with a youngster, especially in the NFL, isn't totally unheard of. I think all Mike McCarthy can do is pretty much keep working to over come that, and have the vets like Driver be an example of where working on the basics, getting the fundamentals down to a second nature will lead you.

More talk from McCarthy. I'll be impressed when he doesn't talk about changing or correcting things but does. I'm a bit puzzled about him thinking they had leaders by example. Whose example were they following when they couldn't hold a lead late?

I'm a bit puzzled why fans, looking from the outside in, even comment on leadership, re: who provides it/does the team need more/etc. How could any of us possibly know a thing about the leadership of this team? Especially to the point where you're debating the coach's remarks on it. It seems pretty preposterous to me.

We can judge by results. By your logic no one can ever assess any situation they weren't directly a part of.

Assess an intangible situation that you are not a part of accurately? Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Can you not type this in shorthand? It's extremely annoying to read. I like the material but it is very annoying...

The same mistakes shouldn't be happening in week 16 that were in week 1. I don't completely buy into the young team argument. In 2006 the ten youngest teams had a .531 winning percentage and four made the playoffs. In 2007, the ten youngest had a .606 winning percentage, five made the playoffs. The 06 Colts (3rd youngest) and 07 Giants (8th) were both in those sets, and both won a title. Youth can be a factor, but well coached youth can perform.

The same thing I said about Thompson is how I feel about McCarthy. I have an open mind, but something needs to be done and for Thompson I think he needs to make a move in free agency and for McCarthy I think he needs to make changes to his staff and specifically Bob Sanders as I've said over and over, but for the most part this off season has potential to be a great one or the one that leads to an end of a regime. We'll see what happens.

"Our pad level was to high (we sucked) our special teams were not up to par (we REALLY sucked) and it's going to get fixed (hopefully by the end of the decade........cause we sucked). As the coach, it's my responsibility to get the players ready (I sucked). I take FULL responsibility (as long as it doesn't cost me my job, cause my play calling SUCKED)."

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
