I completely disagree with the OP. If you want to make the case McCarthy is soft with his play-calling go ahead but IMO running up the score at the very end of a won game isn't evidence supporting your point. And IMO the aftermath of yesterday's game is a strange time to make this claim. I'm not saying the Packers running game is "fixed" because the Cards struggle vs. the run, but how many run plays did McCarthy call? How many yards were gained in total and what was the per carry average? In what way was that "soft"?
Also as you make your case, remember to include all the blowouts from last year when advancing your point. How many times did we see a long pass last season when the Packers had a comfortable lead? Also remember the Packers led the league in points scored last season. Or are you contending McCarthy just become "soft" this season? Last week running Green into the line time after time for 2 yards per may have been foolish, but it wasn't "soft". And do you think the myriad of injuries has something to do with McCarthy not being able to "insert the dagger" as early and frequently as last season?
