[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 679913, member: 7261"] You optimist you, only 3 scores with the way our defense was playing? ;) But yes, always nice when you can run a score up by the 4th quarter, rest your starters and get some playing time for the back-ups. I don't remember the last time that happened for the Packers, probably Scott Tolzien coming in to kneel down? I also don't think its necessary to over expose Rodgers to potential injury when you have a big lead. I would be telling him "quick passes", don't be dancing around in that pocket like we are down by 7." Again I agree with you. Like I said, there are times when I think even MM himself would/should second guess plays that he called, especially after the fact. But I think some fans are too quick to blame a loss solely on "MM being too conservative". The Seattle game was a perfect example of that and one the poster I was responding to seemed to think was the Holy Grail of an example as to why MM's conservative play calling costs us games. While the Packers offense didn't pick up a critical first down in the 4th quarter, I would point to special teams, the defense and some individual players for not doing their jobs in the last 5 minutes and overtime of that game as the main reasons for the loss. MM called a pretty decent game that day and had it not been for those mental mistakes by players, some might have called it a spectacularly coached and played game against a really strong Seattle team on the road. Just the nature of this thread being posted after what happened against Detroit on Sunday, leads me to believe that no matter what MM does, some will always fall back on the notion that "MM is too conservative". Similar to fans who were no doubt screaming "Fire Capers!" after MJJ's 73 yard TD at the end of the first half. Have to look at the big picture. [/QUOTE]
