NFL 2018

Green Bay fires McCarthy!!

 

Not my wish, but as an NFL observer wondering what took so long. I would have fired him after the Seattle NFC game in 2014 where he twice took FGs on 4th and inches from the goal line.

 

Fixed for you

 

Exactly. Keenum can throw checkdowns at $27 million less (I know you meant $28 million)

 

LMAO. Saw a couple of stories this week about how McCarthy was wasting Aaron's prime. You have to figure the writing was on the wall.

Before the missed FG I wanted them to go for it

 

And thats why you go for it on 4th and 1. Because Steelers at home coming off a devastating loss, and are looking to light up the scoreboard . FGs aren't gonna win this one.

 

Mark Murphy is the Packers problem. Not Rodgers, Not McCarthy.
I have met Murphy a few times and heard him speak numerous times. His ego and comments are awful.
Personally I would never hang out with, or hire, someone like him.

McCarthy lives just down the road from me. He is a great guy.
Was Mike's time up on Green Bay? Perhaps. At least Rodgers wanted that....
But this? Fire him minutes after a game? WTF. He has 13 years here.
Clearly there are classier ways to handle it...but Murphy has no class.

 

Lol that was a false start

But what's even funnier is the Steelers actually complaining about a call/non call

 

Will that ref get fired? They said an official was fired earlier this year for missing a call that also happened during a Chargers game. Pretty bad miss, but I think a false start should be reviewable if it leads to a score on that same play...

 

They've missed two offside calls against Pitt as well. Not sure what the officials are looking at.

 

^Can't be an all star crew. Chargers radio guys said one of the punts had to be done over as one of the referees was out of position. Never heard that one before!

Isn't the GM the one who usually fires the coach?

Officials in Saints - Cowboys were terrible, but the commentators said it was the most experienced crew in the league...

 

Who gets to criticize Ben since he sucks tonight. He thinks his sweat smells the best (quoted from PTI)

 

Yes or the owner in rare instances

 

Great guy doesn't mean great coach

 

And there was a 3rd offside

 

How about they just scatter some cardboard cutouts of officials around on the field? Can't remember the last time I've seen this many missed calls in a game, let alone a half.

 

No catch!!!

 

Only 1 foot

 

Agreed. But after 13 years a more professional and graceful separation would seem appropriate.

Mark Murphy is a tool.

 

Exactly. I didnt think it could get worse than Thursdays game . But tonight is awful

 

I agree with both of what you said here

 

Looks like the NFL wants to make that NE-PITT game in a few weeks meaningful
