Calling him Sherman with a Super Bowl run is still one of the dumbest possible things to post.

Agreed...horrible take.

Take a look at their records and only difference is the Super Bowl. Mike Sherman with a Super Bowl has a loosing playoff record when you take away his one year super bowl run. He has a great regular season record has he has beaten up one of the bottom two divisions in the NFL since he has been in the league. Look into the numbers before you post, I took the time before last year and was amazed how close they really are.

Is this tool still posting this garbage? Gross.

2013: McCarthy gave big letters promise for running game to be better - Got lacy the next year and have been fantastic.

2014: McCarthy gave big letters for defense to be better - defense was top 10 unit for the 2nd half of the season (and crushed Seattle in Seattle; loss was due to special teams, not the defense).

2015: McCarthy gave big letters promise for special teams to be better - jury is still out but week 1 was very promising... fantastic tackling, easily recovered onside kick, and long returns.

McCarthy: 69.5% regular season, 54% (7-6) postseason record

Sherman: 59.4% regular season, 33% (2-4) postseason record

Belichick, regarded as one of the best coaches in the league, has a 66% win rate, lower than McCarthy.

His coaching themes are rotating assistants every couple years so they get the perspective of various units (i.e., Edgar Bennett going from special teams coach, to RB coach, to WR coach, to offensive coordinator). In addition, Philbin is now a head coach and Clements will be a head coach somewhere in a few years, so he already has a solid coaching tree (which is the best compliment you can give a coach).

On what planet are those two remotely comparable?

I feel bad for you that you can't appreciate what a wonderful job McCarthy has done coaching this team. There are 32 teams in this league and you can't win the Super Bowl every year. McCarthy would not last a week without a head coaching job if the Packers were to let him go.

Philbin was here as the line coach before McCarthy showed up, he as much as Sherman's tree as he is McCarthy.

I don't see the high regard for McCarthy. He has blown two great chances at a Super Bowl by being out coached. 15-1 during the regular season and he blows it in the first game in the playoffs at home. Last year he takes the foot of the pedal and plays not to loose in the NFC Championship. His loyalty to a poor special teams coach finally cost the team a game also in the NFC Championship.

Before Sherman and McCarthy teams dreaded coming to Green Bay during the playoffs. Since the have been coaching the Packers home playoff record is 4-5 (Sherman 1-2, McCarthy 3-3). Home field advantage is huge in the playoffs but our last two coaches have squandered it.

McCarthy is a good coach but he is not this top end guy that everyone sees. The numbers prove that he is not an elite coach.

Perhaps you can tell us who you would prefer to be in the position. Name all of the better coaches currently coaching in college or the pros, regardless of availability.

Yeah I like Mike but I'm not sure he's elite either but he's pretty good. But then again we're not comparing him to Vince Lombardi. You are the one who is comparing him to Sherman and as Phenomena shows McCarthy's winning percentage blows Sherman's out of the water. Even without the Superbowl McCarthy's numbers are way better than Shermans.

Good news! Bulaga's injury is not considered serious, Likely sprained knee. He missed one game last year with the same injury.

TE Rodgers injury a stinger.

First 2014 Seattle game really went in the toilet when Sherrod had to replace Bulaga. Barclay is about as bad.

Last year Bulaga went down during a game and was "replaced" by a guy who isn't even in the league anymore. This year is much different - Barclay is a superior lineman to Sherrod and has the benefit of a couple days preparation not to mention the staff can now gameplan in advance for the change.

Losing Bulaga for this game hurts a lot - but I expect it to be a smaller impact than last year.

Seattle D is not as good as it was the last two years, plus they are not great on the road. I have no fear of this game.

McCarthy runs a tight program. I don't know if some of you understand how difficult it is to run a successful NFL program....McCarthy is one of the best at running the ship. Is he at the top of the line when it comes to in-game strategy? Who knows? My guess is that you could look at any coaches body of work, even guys like Parcells and Belecheck and find games where they crapped the bed in regards to management. The way the Packers move guys through their system, training their draft picks to replace others who need replacing and thus avoiding free agents is amazing. It also does not happen by accident.

McCarthy is a great leader. We are lucky to have him. Comparing him to Mike Sherman is laughable.

This is a big enough injury that it likely tips the scales in favor of Seattle winning this week, but I'm relieved it isn't more serious.

He settled down a bit after the first two games...but historically has been terrible against speed on the outside. Something Seattle has in their rush.

They are going to have to adjust and move Rodgers around a lot I think.

 

[LawFitz]

Very nervous about the Bulaga injury. Michael Bennett and Frank Clark are a couple of man bear pigs. Hopefully McCarthy is ready with a ton of quick passing.

I'm pretty sure that was the plan anyway. Brady set a Super Bowl record with 37 completions because all they did was dink and dunk without challenging the cornerbacks outside too much.

Add that to the fact that GB lost their best "sideline & deep threat" receiver and I think it's going to be a lot of quick passes. Hopefully Cobb is healthy; though it may not matter. The Seahawks have been moving Sherman inside, so Cobb will likely be covered by him a lot. There will definitely be some opportunities for James Jones again, as well as Adams. Richard Rodgers could be have a nice PPR stat-line, 7-70 maybe and a shot at some red-zone looks.

 

[sho nuff]

Sucks losing him this week..but may be bigger to have him against KC's dline.

 

[hauser42]

Bulaga out for 4- 6 weeks. Had torn meniscus besides the sprinaed PCL, already had surgery on knee. Reported by Ian Rapport and Albert Beer.

This is not good news for this team. Barclay looked very bad all preseason and is the backup. He was getting eaten up by lesser players and now with the top end going after it down after down he could be really exposed. Hopefully Barclay can step up.

I was just going to post the same thing. Maybe GB should have drafted a couple more RTs knowing this guy is as fragile as a flower.

This is definitely not good facing the Seattle and KC. Now I'm worried about Rodgers health.

Ted did you that when he drafted Sherrod and Biahktiara. Sherrod suffered that severe injury that he could never recover from and other guy is the starting LT right now. NFL teams can't have top end backups with salary cap and roster limits like they are. Injuries hit every team, seems like at this time the Packers are being hit with more starters than most. Nelson, Barrington, and Bulaga already this season.

Clements should be the one getting the game plan together more than McCarthy this year. We may see some screen passes and quick slants from what we saw in preseason. I was very happy with his play calling inside the 10 last week. I think we will see new things from Clements that we would not have season from McCarthy. I for one thing we have been missing a good screen game since Holmgren left, back then Packers were one of the top teams at running that type of play.

 

[shadrap]

So who does Sherman guard? Probably a question for the Seattle homers. Kinda like to know as have Da. Adams. Sorry if I should have asked the Seattle homers.

I think Cobb, Jones, Adams will get spots in the game. Seahawks secondary is not what it has been in the past. Thomas and Sherman are great half but the other part can be picked apart and I think Sherman can be had by Rodgers and his WRs.

I am starting Adams where I have him, because Rodgers will take advantage of the matchups he is given.

 

[seahawk 17]

Sherman is playing against the slot receiver this game, which is new. I am guessing it is so he can cover Cobb?

I just see Rodgers avoiding him as much as possible. Huge ??? is obviously RT right now with Bulaga out and even Bahktiari has struggled against speed rushers.

Don't worry, it's going to come down to the defense. And they are going to #### the bed again. Write it down.

He's not so good against shorter quick guys and Rodgers can place the ball where he likes.

Sherman has great instincts around the ball. Guarantee that he gets at least one pick today.

If he does throw a pick, it will be his first pick at Lambeau Field since 2012.

 

[Gopher State]

Finally we get the Hawks at home, big win coming for the Pack

 

[Hooper31]

Good luck today Pack fans. Hoping we see a great game, but have concerns that injuries plays a big part in outcome. Would rather not see the missing players have a big impact on the outcome. Avril balled out last week in opener. Having Bulaga out could be huge. Have to see what Avril does. Chancellor out still stings, but Bailey may play well. Has shown flashes in preseason that he can be more than competent at SS.

I was very surprised to see Sherman shift inside last week. It was due to injuries in secondary. Seattle struggling to find someone dependable to cover slot. They have more depth on the outside which frees up Sherman to move inside. It also may have been a one-week thing as they weren't worried about getting beat deep on the outside by Foles. Rodgers certainly provides more of a threat so I wouldn't be surprised to see Sherman remain on his normal side of the field. My guess is we see Burley covering the slot tonight.

Packers should certainly be favored, but if Seattle gets Lynch rolling they may be able to keep Rodgers on the sideline and control the tempo.

I was very surprised to see Sherman shift inside last week. It was due to injuries in secondary. Seattle struggling to find someone dependable to cover slot. They have more depth on the outside which frees up Sherman to move inside. It also may have been a one-week thing as they weren't worried about getting beat deep on the outside by Foles. Rodgers certainly provides more of a threat so I wouldn't be surprised to see Sherman remain on his normal side of the field. My guess is we see Burley covering the slot tonight.

Packers should certainly be favored, but if Seattle gets Lynch rolling they may be able to keep Rodgers on the sideline and control the tempo.

Should be a great game. Go Pack go!

True story: Seahawks fans in the GB/Seattle game thread were complaining that Packers fans troll the Seattle threads.

X-rays on Lacy's ankle come back negative

X-rays on Eddie Lacy's injured ankle came back negative.
It means Lacy is not dealing with a fractured ankle, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported there is still "no firm timeline" for the injury. Lacy is likely dealing with a sprain. Depending on the severity, Lacy could still be looking at a multiple-week absence. James Starks played extremely well in relief of Lacy on Sunday night and will be one of the top waiver pickups this week.
Amazing news... even if he is out a few weeks... I'll take Starks until the bye for sure if it means Lacy is healthy for the stretch run. There are plenty of secondaries to pick on in the next four weeks.

Sucks losing Lacy for any time. Good to have Starks as an option though.

Huge credit to the online last night. They were not perfect and there was pressure, but they seemed to do well at pushing most of it up field letting Rodgers step up. Lang, Sutton and Kinsley were great up the middle.

Nice to see Cobb looking better and Richard Rodgers getting involved...same with seeing good things from Montgomery.

And its not like its new with Rodgers...but that game and especially the 4th quarter just shows his control of this game. Missing Lacy, Bulaga, Nelson and Adams for a portion and he was just a surgeon again.

Defensively, had a lapse there to start the third where they gave up so much to Wilson...but settled down and over all had a good game. Tackling was very much improved as was most coverages. They get beat usually in miscommunication in zone...not man. And the Jackson TD was easy to see coming. And Jayrone Elliot...way to make big plays at the right time.

Thumbs up to special teams as well. Returns were OK...but mainly not allowing Lockett to hurt them was big.

Seahawks on a second straight road game after losing in OT and down a few defensive pieces. Green Bay without Nelson, Lacy, Bulaga--but win in all 3 phases of the game.

Barclay obviously surpassed my expectations but they were wisely giving him help. Bakhtiari got owned on 3-4 plays but that is out of 35+ dropbacks; both tackles were good enough. Hooray!

Two weeks in you can't draw too many conclusions but on the coaching side of things, Clements calling plays seems to work and rookies and 2nd year players are contributing, as usual. However, Clinton-Dix seems to be playing with no discipline, simply "flying around" and not really doing much useful. Dropped an INT last night.

If they can hold Lynch to 2.7 ypc they can contain anyone. Except Matt Forte.

Elliott and Rodgers get the highlights. Crosby 4/4 including 50+ also deserves recognition. Raji showed power. Matthews was also practically playing DL at times, just ramming the center of the line off the snap with no goal other than forcing everything to the edge.

KC is another quality opponent. Can't beat one good team and then have a letdown.

As a final bonus, the Bears going to Seattle next week is basically a death sentence.

Update?

So who does Sherman guard? Probably a question for the Seattle homers. Kinda like to know as have Da. Adams. Sorry if I should have asked the Seattle homers.

Sherman is playing against the slot receiver this game, which is new. I am guessing it is so he can cover Cobb?

I just see Rodgers avoiding him as much as possible. Huge ??? is obviously RT right now with Bulaga out and even Bahktiari has struggled against speed rushers.

He's not so good against shorter quick guys and Rodgers can place the ball where he likes.

Sherman has great instincts around the ball. Guarantee that he gets at least one pick today.

Update?
