Yep. All summer long people screamed "McCarthy is doing this....McCarhty is doing that...."....alright well he needs to get this blame. This is on him. And fans should hold him accountable the same way they wanted to give him credit for the offseason.
Yeah..
I am afraid I strongly felt something was amiss when McCarthy pulled that 'cover the jersey numbers' thing for the Blue and White scrimmage.
I immediately said to myself..
"This McCarthy is a different breed of cat".
I have been suspicious of him ever since. I did not think he was going to be a good fit for us.
He was very quiet during the days before TC..too quiet.
Then when the season began..
We started seeing fake punts that failed and left us vulnerable to quick score with the opposition.
These could only be coming from McCarthy. He was trying too hard to have an input into the game. The one trick play that worked was the Atlanta onside kick we recovered then won the game.
And even that was no trick play. Atlanta just did not understand the rules and lost becuz of some great new technique by our kicker. They knew the kick was coming.
So while many here wanted to swear by McCarthy I was swearing at him. I went back on his last two seasons and read articles about McCarthy that his play Calling had left him..
other teams knew him well and were stopping GB and especially Rodgers. Rogers finally openly made it known something needed to change. He sort of implied either McCarthy goes or Rogers was leaving.
That is we know what happened. McCarthy was fired. Rogers stayed and GB immediately started going back to the playoffs and winning.
So this is all still taking shape in Dallas with McCarthy.
Assume nothing.
