Mike: "We're not that far off."

I have to agree with Mike's recent statement that "we're not that far off."

After all, the NORM is no different than what we're seeing now. Except that this team shows up for 30 minutes. If you add in the dropped TDs by Adams, Cobb and Jones, plus the one that was called back, we win by a pretty good margin.

Then everyone thinks this shitty play is perfectly ok, like normal.

Vic just highlighted my favorite quote from Mike's presser:

“There’s no big ‘something is broke here.’ We’ve got to do a better job on the little things. If we make plays on the ball tonight, the outcome has a real good chance to change. That’s the difference between winning and losing in this league.”

I couldn't agree more. I love our coach.

I suppose he's not completely wrong, except this common theme.

Panthers game the Packers could have scored late and with a two point conversion put the game in overtime. Failed in the redzone.
Lions game the Packers couldn't move the ball and missed long FG that would have won it.
Bears game the Packers could have won it with a TD and had four plays from the 8 yard line. Failed in the redzone.

vs Bears :51 seconds left with 8 yards to go at home.
1st and Goal at CHI 8 -- (0:51 - 4th) (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass incomplete short left to J.Jones [S.McClellin]
2nd and Goal at CHI 8 -- (0:43 - 4th) (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass incomplete short left to R.Rodgers
3rd and Goal at CHI 8 -- (0:36 - 4th) (Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass incomplete short right to J.Jones (T.Porter) [W.Young]
4th and 8 at CHI 8 -- (0:29 - 4th) (Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass incomplete short middle to D.Adams

Eddie was tearing it up, why not some I-formation playaction pass or rollout hitting the WR on a drag? More stale routes instead.

Didn't we have redzone problems last season too?

WHAT?

Let him explain the playcalling at the last 4 plays of the game please.

As Zero pointed out Chicago couldn't stop the run and we passed 4 times, but let's forget that for a moment, let's imagine both Lacy and Starks were injured so we were forced to pass, play along with me on this please.

What was the playcall?

I saw the plays over and over again and it seems a highschool call "Somebody get open" no routes, nothing. Chicago was defending with 17 DBs and we just hoped some of our WRs could get separation for Rodgers to throw the game winning TD?

NOT A SINGLE CROSSING ROUTE IN 4 PLAYS!!!!

What the hell do we do in practice? Do we really practice this shit? Can you tell me if the 0-yard passes to Davante Adams work in practice? We get what 25 YACs on Casey Hayward?

"We're not that far off". Argh!

Anyone else reminded of shortly after Ron Wolf taking over....The late Lindy Infante saying, "we were a few plays away from the playoffs" or something like that?

Shortly thereafter, he was gone.

With the talent we have, we are completely underachieving. To make a comment that we are not that far off is unacceptable from a coach with a street named after him in Green Bay. Fuck you McCarthey, get this team firing on all cylinders and quit patronizing well educated football fans. Asshole.
