It's time for me to have a little mini-rant of my own.
The "fire Mike McCarthy" Green Bay fans are blind. Nearly all the complaints are 'the players aren't any good' or 'he's fucking terrible (I don't know why that is, but people I know are saying it so it must be true, right?)' or "he can't scheme!". Really? What I saw in the last two weeks was a victory of scheme and personnel use against teams with more talent. The Steelers game should have been a blowout, yet it wasn't. The Buc's dominated the scoreline and were clearly the better team, but saving the read option until the end of the game to add just enough unpredictability and flummox a buccaneers defense that knew the run was coming (the box was absolutely stacked against the run). That's the kind of difference scheme makes. You can't coach a player into running faster, and the receivers weren't creating separation. That doesn't mean hundley played well, but Rodgers covers up those sorts of player imbalances.
They're right that the team is lacking on talent as a whole at this point, but I'm not sure what they expect after drafting in the 20's for a decade straight. That's the way the draft is built. What does McCarthy have to do with that, though? Or perhaps they think firing Coughlin solved all of the Giant's talent issues.
As for the complaint that McCarthy's record is only good because they have Rodgers, well yes. I recommend you look up Bill Belichick's record with the Patriots before injury forced them to play a no-name quarterback.
