It was supposed to be a fast start to the season for Green Bay with a brand new defense, new weapons on offense, and the return of a healthy Aaron Rodgers. But things haven't exactly gone according to plan.

Last 48 games, MMs teams have gone 24-23-1....with a future HOF QB under center.

He's mostly a glorified Offensive Coordinator who happens to be the HC.

I still have hope Pettine can get it going but the talent on the D, especially the front 7 is average, below average. Only Martinez and Clark are playing at a consistently high level.

R. Zook's STs are either giving up a big return or causing a penalty...often a big penalty.

I think Philbin can game plan and call plays and Rodgers can manage the strategy on the field.

MM needs to coach the entire team. He never does.

I didn't realize Hundley was a future HOF QB.

For Zook did you miss the ST turnover in the SF game it happened pretty early on it's ok if you missed it. Did you see Jackson block a punt and GB get a TD out of it? ST play is filled with penalties.

Go back and look at penalties called against the Packers and holding on the OL is where most of their penalties come from 17 out of the 48. That's on Rodgers holding on to the ball too long.

LP needs to stick with backing up his accusations. He never does.

" I didn't realize Hundley was a future HOF QB."

I didn't realize Hundley played the last 48 games.

I expected more from you Taryn. I thought you could do the math and figure out in the past 48 games it wasn't just Rodgers at QB. No wonder your comments tend to be so long ;).

The original comment had to do with MM being 24-23-1 and you brought up Hundley as though he not being a HOF QB was reason enough. I just reminded you that Rodgers was the QB for the majority of those games and record of 24-23-1.along with MM and blame is not nor sure be deflected away.
However, 24-23-1 is not good regardless of where the fickle finger of blame points.

I think the slow start is a reflection of the overall talent on the roster. There is some good talent sprinkled here-and-there but overall a pretty average roster with a pretty average HC. Hence, AR is asked to win games pretty much by himself which he does on occasion. Gonna be a hit-and-miss season I'm afraid.

Mike McCarthy is the reason he is another Andy Reid except he got lucky and had one Super Bowl Win. Time to move on find someone who is acclimated to today's football and who can make in game adjustments.
