There’s a lot of finger pointing going on over the firing of Mike McCarthy but let’s not overlook the obvious. This firing wasn’t a Game Day decision.

Facts are facts, over the last 20 years the Patriots and the Packers have both entertained having 2 HOF quarterbacks. During that duration the Patriots have been to 8 Super Bowls winning 5 with Brady and coach Belichick. The Packers on the other hand have been to 3 Super Bowls winning one with Favre under Mike Holgrem and 1 with Rodgers and Mike McCarthy. Just ponder over that for a few minutes and I’ll let you be the judge as to why.

Remember back in 2015 when the Packers blew a commanding lead against the Seattle Seahawks to lose the NFC Championship game? That may have been the beginning of the end.

Last season when Aaron Rodgers went out with a collarbone injury, MM chose to keep backup QB Brett Hundley in for the entire time Rodgers was out. Although we continued to lose, MM refused to give our 3rd string QB Joe Callahan a chance, what difference would it have made? After all, we have a 3rd QB for a reason, don’t we? We’ll never know. Why am I bringing this up? It then became obvious that throughout MM’s entire tenure in GB he has had stellar talent leading his team down the field, not necessarily was winning a result of his coaching. I’m certain his coaching skills came into play but the aforementioned leads me to think otherwise.

The Packers, initially picked going into this season as a contender to win the Super Bowl, morning lost to the 2-9 Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday. Previously having lost their 7 consecutive road games, a win against maybe the worst team in the NFL was a must. Coming away with a loss at home was embarrassing and inexcusable. Something had to happen and it did.

For many years now there’s been controversy about MM’s play calling, clock management and his game day player selection. So now for many of you, you’re quest for MM to be fired has come true.

Sure, I expected this to happen but not during the season, he deserved better than that.

I was at the Arizona game and was disillusioned with the performance of Aaron Rodgers and the receiving corp. An elite QB throwing with such erratic accuracy, star receivers dropping passes from both quarterbacks leaves me wondering if Aaron and others were the driving force with a goal of their own.

I wish the best for MM and his family. To move on from an organization and a community they’ve done so much for off the field is somewhat a tragedy. For that they’ll be many regrets, especially for those at American Families Children’s Hospital in Madison, where Mike and Jessica’s annual fundraising events have raised millions of dollars for children’s health research.

Now comes the struggling 4-8 last place Atlanta Falcons from the NFC South. Under direction of the Packer offensive coordinator Joe Philben acting as head coach, can the Packers win? I’m willing to bet Aaron Rodgers throws for over 350 yards and 3 touchdowns to make sure we do. Can we still make the Playoff? The chances are very slim but with some help, it’s still a possibility. Then again so are the chances of me winning the Powerball.

My “Ultimate” Prediction has the Pack finally winning 37-17.
