[QUOTE="RustyShackleford, post: 540696, member: 4798"] Agree 100%. It's easy to second guess play calls after they fail so I try not to do it, but ******** up game management is a different animal. With the plethora of close games that the Packers had this year it was really apparent how terrible he is at it. His favorite is, when behind, to save his timeouts for offense even though they save much more time on defense. When to go for 2 is an area where he just doesn't seem to grasp the concept of probabilities. The worst was the Pittsburgh game. When the Steelers got first and goal he should have let them score immediately. Instead he waited until 2nd down to let them score and it cost them 40 seconds. Those 40 seconds would have been helpful as the Packers watched the clock run out within spitting distance of the goal line. When asked in the press conference why he didn't let them score on 1st down, his response was that he didn't think of it. Ugh! btw, this is not just a McCarthy thing. I see coaches make these elemental game-management mistakes constantly. Same ones. Even in the Steeler game, Tomlin should have just taken 3 kneel downs and then kicked a chip shot to win. Instead he got a TD and gave the Packers a lot of time to come back. Pure coaching failure. [/QUOTE]
