[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 667307, member: 9364"] I think it's just a natural reaction to start calling for bigger and better results sometimes. While I consider it privilege to be playing in a lot of these big playoff games, losing those big games sometimes can seem more frustrating at times than not being in them. And yeah, I know that loss in Seattle 2 years ago is still pretty fresh and therefore goes into some of our more aggravating "choke" labeled games, and yeah no excuses we should have won it. I know though we're far from the only team's fans having to witness anything on that latitude, as I remember back in 2012 when Flacco launched that 70 yard mile high miracle bomb, and man you shoulda seen my bronco fan friends on social media just totally lose it. Yeah life's all good now for them, but they like the Cowboys fans, Vikes fans, and just about every other fan have had to witness the day sure victory got robbed from them. Where the mistake gets made often is the assumption that firing the front office or coaches is an automatic fix to that problem. I can guarantee you it's not. Is the clock ticking on Rodgers's time here? Absolutely, and as 2013 showed you never know if a QB's season could get cut short by injury or not. But is there still enough time to rally back the troops and get the stars to align in our favor to win another superbowl? Absolutely yes. Now I will say this, I do want to see McCarthy deliver another Superbowl title to us. And yes it has been 6 years since the last trip, so yeah if you're in the younger U-25 generation that can seem like ages ago. And yes when you have a star QB, you naturally want more championships for him to write home about I get that. But a big part of the head coach's job is to make sure that the team is maximizing the talent it has and getting the best results it can. Has McCarthy done that? I'd say for the most part yes. Nobody wants the team to just be happy with making the playoffs, not at all. But I can tell you there's really only 2 other alternatives, one of which is make the playoffs 1 or maybe 2 years, maybe make or win the superbowl but then follow that up with losing seasons of doing nothing, aka the Rams, Raiders, Falcons, and to lesser degrees the Giants and Ravens.
