[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 688641, member: 9364"] I know a lot of people look at the higher-up as the guy holding greater responsibility for the show, and I'm sure there's plenty of arguments to make that Ted's drafting and perhaps failure to build enough depth behind injured starters particularly in the running game, TE, and pick your position on defense is a bad thing. I won't ignore it or say that the heat can't be turned up a notch on him too. But lately it's McCarthy's attitude towards this thing that's got me scratching my head. I would say I thought it was strange last year when he came out opening week and outright said the Packers were gonna kick the Bears' ***es, something he's not been prone to do in past years, and in general some of his demeanor. But especially right now to say stuff about "I'm a highly successful NFL coach" when this team has problems everyone can see, that's just not what you do even if you do have winning seasons to look at. Pointing at that does not fix problems, and it really I think sends a bad message to fans and players about the state of affairs here in Green Bay. And I'm not defending Rodgers either over his bad play, but I can't see any reason for him to lie about a team bench being devoid of energy and lacking resolve to go win. And part of that does fall on McCarthy. Mike McCarthy in the past was also focused on taking care of business no matter who it was we played, but right now he's apparently got something else on the brain because that is not what's happening. If I recall though, I believe Thompson and McCarthy's contracts only last through 2018. At this point if I'm Murphy, I'm thinking let's see a rebound here without any talk of extensions or anything like that. You get 2017 as a make or break season, to avoid any lame duck status at that point, and if the Pack get back to the playoffs or better yet win the SB, contracts get extended. Another abysmal year like this though, and it's pink slip time. [/QUOTE]
