Hence the problem,treating him like Peyton by either the fans and the coaches is a mistake,when the more important of the two(coaches) have not yet proved their NFL level abilities.

There is a fine line between giving a QB the “utter” control and the “utter” mute buttons in which to push.

Perhaps Aaron just isn’t ready for the Peyton rank,it’s only his 3rd year,his most learning year for sure and if he isn’t Peyton like next year he may never be in that room.

I can remember Rodgers audibling INTO at least two nice runs last Sunday. People need to be careful when pointing the finger at either party. I think it’s more charitable to treat McCarthy and Rodgers as a single offensive decision-making unit, albeit one that is currently dazed, confused, and a little self-loathing.

What I want to know is: where is the short passing game that took the Packers from the Cowboy’s game last year to Phoenix? Why this stubborn insistance on 10-15 yard passes when 5-10 yard passes? Success here will keep drives alive and tempt the deep safeties to cheat up a bit, setting up a few deep completions a game. Just like in baseball, you throw 20 fastballs so you can then sucker the batter into jumping the gun on your changeup pitch.

Regardless of who is at fault, what kind of coach tosses his star QB under the bus like that? You have a problem with Rodgers checking off? Talk to him about it in the locker room, not give the reporters and bloggers something to speculate on. Sounds like he’s more worried about his own job security than his player’s psyche.

I LOVE freedom to the QB. Specially the kind of talent Rodgers is.

That being said, the coach gives you freedom, Rodgers, you NEED to win the game. You CANNOT have happy feet the entire game and play like crap.

You are finally being treated like Payton Manning. But you have to perform like him.

(and better than him in the playoffs).

As I said to my husband after Mike said this – WHO is in charge here? WHO works for who, technically? AR’s calling too many audibles or changing plays to run, you get to him on the sidelines and say STOP IT. Didn’t happen. MM’s fault.

Bill Cowher is sitting at a desk just ready to take over a football team and make them playoff and champion ready.Green Bay board of directors are you paying attention ??? Cowher and Capers instead of McCarthy who is clueless at play calling with the pressure of finishing games. Mike has got worse with experience rather than getting better so lets stop the bleeding now,I don’t want to hear injuries as an excuse ,Mike Tomlin took a decimated steelers team through mass injuries early and refused to let his team use it either and they won the Super Bowl with most injuries of any team,their whole OL was out at one time 5 games into that season.Packers need a strong leader and Bill Cowher needs to be made a offer NOW

On one hand I don’t blame him after Rodgers’ comments last week. On the other, two wrongs don’t make a right.

This is a signature loss that dates back to 2008, when it always seemed like they found a way to blow a game they should have ones. I will always blame that on the coaches.

MM and Rodgers need to put their differences aside. This is the hand you both have been dealt. Deal with it and find a way to win!

Was Rodgers upset with the playcall McCarthy had before those two time outs? Is that why he called time outs? If I remember correctly those were 3rd and short calls.

Jeez. First Nagler, then Carriveau, then you. Everything I planned to write about tonight has now already been done. Well screw it, I’m doing it anyway, even if it sounds like a rehash. You guys need to get real jobs!

McCarthy is ultimately responsible, though. He has THE authority to not give that option to Rodgers.
