Packers Coach Mike McCarthy: What Is He Thinking?

Found December 17, 2012 on AllGreenBayPackers.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Aaron Rodgers,  Joe Buck,  Troy Aikman,  Tim Masthay,  John Kuhn,  Randall Cobb,  Jeremy Ross,  Brandon Marshall,  Alshon Jeffery,  Mason Crosby,  Ted Thompson
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers,  Chicago Bears,  Tennessee Titans,  Minnesota Vikings,  Philadelphia Eagles,  Jacksonville Jaguars
Some of McCarthy’s decisions have led to many questions about whether they will help or hurt the Packers from here on out Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has a track record that speaks for itself: 73 wins 37 losses .664 winning percentage in regular season 5-3 record in playoffs including a Super Bowl Championship Two appearances in the NFC Championship game Three NFC North division titles Not bad, right?  Even by the sky-high standards of the Green Bay Packers and their fans, those numbers exude success.  But McCarthy has become somewhat of an intrigue lately.  As we know, he calls the offensive plays for the Packers during games.  He has done so since his arrival in Green Bay. At times, especially this season, he has had fans and analysts alike scratching their heads with some of his decision making.  Now, I realize that he gives quarterback Aaron Rodgers some freedom to alter the play at the line if Rodgers sees something he thinks he can take advantage of.  It’s hard ...

Aaron Rodgers shows off photobombing skills

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  December 19, 2012
You all probably have heard of Aaron Rodgers and his “discount double check” move, but one thing you might not know about the guy is his love for photobombing the team’s weekly captain picture.

Aaron Rodgers Calls Alex Smith ‘a Great Quarterback,’ Says He Deserves to Play for Team That Appreciates Him

Via NESN.com  |  December 18, 2012
When Aaron Rodgers was drafted in 2005, it was 23 spots behind the No. 1 pick, Alex Smith, who was picked by Rodgers’ hometown 49ers. Instead of getting a chance to start and being recognized for his ability, Rodgers took the clipboard behind Brett Favre, while Smith was given the run of the San Francisco offense in his first season. Within a few years, though, the storylines changed...

Packers, Rodgers down Bears to claim NFC North

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  December 17, 2012
CHICAGO – It's almost a cliche in football, how important third down plays are to keep drives going and maintain control of the ball and the game.

Rodgers: Matthews new sack dance amazing

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  December 18, 2012
Packers linebacker Clay Matthews has been known for his "predator" muscle-flexing sack celebration for years, but apparently he spent his down time rehabbing an injured hamstring coming up with something new and, well, seemingly better suited for Chippendales than Soldier Field. After taking down Chicago's Jay Cutler on Sunday for his first sack since returning from...
