McCarthy was too conservative

[Eazy-E]

Okay, so has anyone mention the fact that when Burnett picked that last INT he slid down.......with FIVE MINUTES left in the game? The heck he think was gonna happen??? Was he told to do that incase of an INT by the coach or something?

 

Josh Norman would have taken that poo to the house.... or fumbled trying.

He was a pussy with the possessions down in the red zone, and also at the possession towarfd the end of the game, when he ran it three straight times.  

 

And I don't care if you don't believe me, but right before they faked the FG, I told my son that there was no way they were kicking a FG.

 

This loss is on the coach.

Definitely felt like a Rivera coached team.  I hope McCarthy didn't contact Ron before the game asking for advice on how to beat Seattle?  Say it ain't so!  You don't think???

[Semaj]

anyone have an idea why that DB slid after that 4th int.? Looks like he may have been able to run for awhile.

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS is asking this question???Because the game was obviously over then.  Duh.

Not trying to be funny, but McCarthy has had some excellent teams over the years, and I could argue that looking at what he had versus what Rivera has had, Rivera has done the more remarkable job. McCarthy has been coaching too long to let ones like that get away. At least it's arguable that most of Rivera's misfortunes have been about personnel and lack of execution. McCarthy was the main anchor to his team's failing today.

Yeah that surprised me ad well.

I got ripped on this message board for talking poorly about McCarthy earlier this season. He just cost his team a chance at the SuperBowl 

[IGSaint]

And the player who went down after the INT is just as conservative or stupid. He had space to run but I guess they took after their coach. They wanted to play it safe instead of twisting the knife.

on the flip side if he returns it and someone comes up and knocks the ball loose he is one of the most hated Packers of all time. Hindsight is 20/20, but then again you of all people know that

Why am i not hearing bitching about A Rod right now?

[Beast Mode]

I agree completely.  McCarthy helped us on numerous occasions today.

He could have gotten across midfeild easily, maybe even FG range.

It was a tale of two halves definitely, but it really shouldn't have been. It felt like watching a Panthers game watching 14 points turn into 6.

 

This game had the possibility to be over before the 2nd quarter.

[Rags]

You really have to hope Ron's learned from this. I mean he doesn't have to be Pete Caroll levels of insane, but you know, 4th and inches with a 6'5 QB, you gotta go for it.

Four opportunities early, one TD.  The only surprising part of the comeback to me was that it took them so long
