57 yard field goals shouldn't be kicked in November in Pittsburgh
Great effort by my Packers last night, and despite the fact that without Rodgers they were by far the worse team, they showed a lot of character being in that game. It's sad that fatal errors by McCarthy, specifically being uber conservative in play calling in the 3rd and 4th quarters resulting in 3 and outs (and getting clobbered in time of possession) and most importantly being foolishly over aggressive by attempting to have Crosby kick a 57 yard FG when the longest EVER kicked in November there was 53 yards. Jeez.
His coaching and play calling mojo needs to be put on the back of a milk carton as it's been missing for a few years. The worst part is that he defended the decision. There is no defence. Up 7 in a game that your team is playing well in, just punt and pin them. Don't be a moron and risk a miss and giving up excellent near-midfield field position to one of the most potent offences in the NFL.
I miss having Rodgers pilot the team, but that loss is on McCarthy. Hundley played great!
5-6... looking bleak...
