You know, Green Bay played a sloppy game last night, and the officiating was horrible. But I still blame the loss solely on Mike McCarthy's shoulders. Watch the Packers post-game press conference from last night. (available on packers.com) Mike McCarthy literally blamed the entire thing on his team, and everyone but he and his coaching staff. That's absolutely absurd. He blamed the penalties and turnovers on his players, and their sloppy play. I realize this is the NFL, but he's still the coach and its his and his staff's job to keep them disciplined! He then went on to make excuses for his shoddy play calling saying that the Bears played 2 deep the entire second half. He said, and I quote, "The Bears running defense was better than our running offense." DUH! Newsflash Mike McCarthy... when a team's defense is beating up your offense, CHANGE YOUR GAMEPLAN! They had 7 in the box nearly every down, with Urlacher and Briggs, yet you ran and screened right into them!

Which, of course, brings me to my question. Packer fans, I know it's only one game, but the classless way McCarthy handled himself, am I the only one who thinks the guy should be fired? Even if the Packers win the rest of the games this season, I won't like McCarthy after this debacle. I swear the guy was betting against the Packers last night or something.

It's not the loss I am upset about, it's the class-less way he handled himself in the press conference, blaming his team and player's for HIS mistakes. He looked worse than Mike Nolan. Oh, and this question was all in good fun, and asked to Packer fans.
