If this is just generalized grousing, that's cool. That game didn't put me in a very good mood either. Mike has always had a certain way about him in those pressers, and yesterdays was more about "I wish I didn't have to be here talking to these [strike]assholes[/strike] reporters right now" mode than what he actually said, at least that's how it looked/sounded to me. I looked at the rehash of all of those penalties, and it is logical to blame the coaches. It is the traditional assignment, and when you have a team that is the most penalized, it is probably valid. You know what? ...So what? He has said he is going to continue to be aggressive, he is going to continue to grade out penalties based on the individual circumstance, etc. Do you really think that Mike McCarthy has anything to coach our cornerbacks on when it comes to a penalty? You think they are good listeners in that department? We have been, and will continue to pay for our man-coverage. Darryn Colledge? What should we do? Yell at him? Bench him? Shoot him? (OK, I'll go along with shoot him, but you get my point :icon_smile: ). I'm not going to believe that the coaches are unable to get this team to focus... it is not what I see. I think we are not matching up talent-wise in the trenches, people are getting their asses kicked, and they are jumpy and trying to get an edge on their opponents. If we are going to have a fire Mike McCarthy sentiment like I saw over in purple land as regards Major Dad- (that thread is about 400 pages by now :icon_smile: ), I'm switching to some foreign language so I can use more swear words. I really don't think our players will be confused about Mike McCarthy's unhappiness regarding penalties. Really, do you... or is this just as I said, generalized grousing? I think Mike McCarthy is a hell of a good coach, and I suspect he is a real prick when unhappy, and if you review the presser itself, he was delving into borderline prickdom, which I thought was pretty good, too. :thumbleft:

Being aggresive is one thing. What about all the false starts? Do the players not know the god damn snap count? What about all the holding penalties on on the run plays? Do players not know how to run block? And we are over matched talent wise, then who's fault is that?
And what the hell is so wrong about benching someone for fucking up over and over and over and over again? You guys act like thats the worst thing you can do to someone. Damn, it may even hurt their feelings. Tough shit. If getting benched hurts their feelings and affects their play in a negative way, then they need to join the fucking girl scouts.
Yeah, I can be a pain in the ass when I know I'm right.

Hey, me too... I don't even have a personal requirement to be right :icon_smile:
Go ahead and rant, my brother, I'm feelin' the pain, too. I'm gonna need to see your revised roster after we put your plan in place:
K. Hall--- HOLDING--- put him on the friggin' bench... the big turd
D. Driver--- HOLDING--- sit your ass down, you undisciplined puke
J. Spitz---HOLDING--- Keep your hands to yourself, moron, have a seat
D.Colledge---INELIGIBLE DOWN FIELD- park it, fool
A. Rodgers---DELAY OF GAME-- Sit, stupid-- FLYNN- GET YOUR ASS UP!
D. Bishop--- UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS- Go join the platoon on the pine
D.Colledge- FALSE START-- Who the hell snuck YOU back into this game?
C.Clifton- FALSE START--- Get your geezer gut off my football field.
There. Fixed it. Very satisfying, I might add... Maybe your idea is better than I initially thought. It would be very entertaining in it's own right to see all of them sitting on "THE MIKE MCCARTHY DOGHOUSE BENCH"... Hell if we're going to lose anyway...that would definitely kick Mike Singletary's rant off the top of the ESPN charts... IRONMAN, you may have something here :thumbleft:
