That 2nd half offense was a nightmare, and it's McCarthy and Rodgers fault

. Converting 3 out of 11 3rd downs is simply pathetic

. I'm buying a Fackrell Jersey... lol.... seriously, who would have guessed he would be contributing this much this year? Go, Sackrell !

. Props to our D for fighting hard with a depleted unit and being left on the field to long by our offense

. I really like Mike Pettine as our D coordinator

. I really don't like Mike McCarthy as our HC anymore . He did good for awhile, but it's just time to move on.

. Loved the way they used Aaron Jones on the last TD drive of the first half , getting him into the open field was good

. Where did that strategy go in the second half ?

. More going deep on 3rd and short

. Rodgers Taking all those sacks was hard to watch

. The refs hate us

. Nice challenge on the dropped pass that set up the Seachickens last TD, Mike.... bad

. Maybe we should have covered the slot receiver on Seattle's last touchdown. Nobody on that guy

. We had a tired depleted D, so why not go for it on that last 4th down we had?

. I hope we keep Pettine as our DC when MM gets fired (he better be released)

. We are running out of Safeties and even CBs

. We should have won that game

. Rodgers is not earning that fat check so far, actually, the first half was ok, but that 2nd half was simply brutal. He is just off this year comparing to his past standards. I understand in the beginning of the year, but the knee doesn't seem that bad anymore

. I think I'm going to Nestle up to a bottle of Jameson and then pass out

"Aaron Jones getting 11 carries against a defense allowing 5 yards a carry coming into the game is criminal."

How do you comprehend it? Jones was gashing the Seahawks and MM, on queue, forgot he exists. It's almost like Mike wants to be fired.

The sequence that saw Rodgers throw it into the ground on 3rd and 2 and McCarthy deciding to punt on 4th and 2 is a perfect illustration of the Packers 2018 season.

Did anyone feel that Packers were going to hold Seahawks in the 4th qtr? Confidence in this team is gone.

MM out coached again.

3 points in 2nd half.

Defense still sucks.

2 more wasted time outs.

Why no challenge?

Refs were horrible.

Just a very bad football team who finds a way to lose week in and week out. Rodgers has to take some of the blame but Mashed Potatoe Mike needs to go. Completely out-coached once again and his putrid play calling.

I was at the game and it was a winnable. Mental errors, Rodgers playing scared, and poor TO usage cost the Packers the game. Disappointed I think it’s time for MM to go.

Go Pack

November 15, 2018 at 11:04 am(edit)
Pettine's blitz vs Wilson's blitz read success rate of 129..a fraction better than Rodgers.

First game this season I'll watch without a financial wager....I lean Sea but they seem more blunder headed than GB and a error will produce the winner in the last 2 min..Pack over think and make the mistake....27-24 Sea.

I fought the urge but fire McCarthy now not later. We have seen this type of play for years. Run the Ball!!

A-Rod you stink! You can't plat 4 quarters anymore. You can't see Jones in your face in the red zone? Draft a QB #1 please. A-Rod is stinking up the field. Too many points left on the field because A-Rod made his stats. Make a bet he stays in Seattle. He's torn this team apart!

MM is the worst at 2nd half adjustments.

Hire Hue Jackson ............ Adolph Von Childress is still available also.

Just when I thought we've been hit with enough devasting losses for one season, another promising game unfolds.

McCarthy needs to get canned ASAP. We need to run the table to make the playoffs and anyone who has watched this team knows that isn't happening. I don't know if he or Rodgers are to blame for running the play with 1 second on the play clock but it definitely lost us the game this week. Aaron Jones barely touching the ball in the second half was another tragedy.

The refs were god awful, I counted multiple game-changing calls in favor of the Seahawks.

For all the praise we give Rodgers for throwing up semi-accurate bombs, we need to call him out when he makes terrible throws. In the redzone with Jones wide open and you can't see him? Where is the field vision? 3rd & 2 and he throws it on the ground to end the game? Atrocious.

Knowing the conservative front office we have, McCarthy will stay on through the remainder of the season. We need a new HC and OC. Pettine is performing wonderfully with what he has.

Dump the Pumpkin!!!

Rodgers has gotten old fast and has lost it and is done! Holds ball to long, to slow get plays off and wastes time outs. Rodgers is the problem not McCarthy! Rodgers days have come and gone, hate to say it!

Ugh Go Pack

I still am in shock that MM didn't throw that flag on that catch by that Seattle receiver. It was clearly a drop. Who the hell is in charge of telling MM to challenge that? I was screaming at the tv, "throw it throw it" and he didn't. My God if he throws that flag we have a much better chance at winning the game. MM then doubles down on stupid by not going for it on 4th and 2. I was always a big MM supporter but those two decisions were inexcusable. Mm has always been a gambler. It's like he was shell shocked. I wonder if all the fire MM talk has affected his decision making. It sure the hell seems so. Man, what a painful loss that should have been a win with two different decisions by our head coach.

In 2016 I suggested AR to the Browns for 4 ones (they would have done it) add Myles Garrett, Jabril Peppers (or Njoku),Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, K King (or potentially TJ Watt), J. Alexander to the Packers the last two years. Could do same deal with Oakland today, and we have the Saints 1 also. 7 first round picks the next 2 years changes the face of this team.
They would do it, as they would have "the big star QB" to carry them into Las Vegas. What has AR done the last 2 years? Nada, really.

If/when we lose to Vikings, can we fire MM? What is gained by waiting. Let AR call the plays the rest of the way. Not that I am thrilled with him either but then he won't have an excuse to blame the play calling. Then maybe he will take more responsibility and look in the mirror.

D was badly injured, had nothing left, and MM expected them to make a stop.
Even though AR had some long completions, a number of them were under thrown.
Team has 2 good very tall rookie receivers and AR can't hit them with a lead pass for a slant???????

MM PR - if there was a thought bubble over his head, it would have said "I've lost interest in being here. 6 more games and I am out of here."

At this point I would settle for a game manager QB who make the short throw for a first down rather than always be looking downfield for the big strike. Five sacks on third down? No wonder the team can't sustain drives. This situation is totally out of control, as is the lack of a ground game in the second half. Those long pass plays look pretty when they connect, but it's the less spectacular plays that more often than not win the game.

Does anything good ever happen after a GB timeout? It never seems like they can come up with a play that works. And then they have no timeouts when they need them. Stupid.

That was definitely a phantom penalty on the Davis kick return.

What an unbelievable game from Fackrell. He was single-handedly responsible for giving us a chance to win in the second half, but the AR/MM offense bit us in the ass. You can't blame that third and 2 throw on the last series on any injury--what happened there? The bottom line is Wilson made the plays when his team needed them and AR didn't.

Your points are spot on.....,

Anyone think Grahman is pulling a Bennett and has quit on the season?

It seems like we've had difficulty getting our receivers open for years (which is part of the reason Rodgers is famous for his extended plays).
Maybe it's not the receivers, but the formations and plays. Plus, perhaps Rodgers has to get the ball out sooner.
It seems we had some good play calls on the first drive of the game and the last drive of the first half -- both of which went for TDs. Otherwise, it seems the play calling was unimaginative.
I don't know who calls our plays during the game, but it seems we need someone else.

Fire McCarthy now!
Poll: "yes" if you agree

I don’t know how anyone can still want MM here? I have never been impressed with him Way overrated. Now that AR is not perfect every game MM has been exposed.

We have the talent. We could have won this. Penalties, poor time management, not utilizing good players...that’s all on the coaching.

Has the quick slant to the slot been outlawed in GB? Overtime it's short yardage they throw that widescreen that very team anticipates. Once again I believe it's the coaching errors and tired old play calls. Special teams penalties were backbreakers. Why is Ron Zook still around? One fake punt conversion does not cut it. Just a poorly coached, undisciplined team.

You mean punch in the gut reactions!
Sigh that was disappointing indeed but so predictable
McCarthy out coached again.
Too bad
Doesn't look good for McCarthy or the Packers in 2018
Sad
That is all

Flush.

SO sick of no clock management. Fricken fundamental. We burn at least 2 timeouts per game, but no one seems to care. Then, we can’t challenge calls. Or stop the clock. What does it matter.

I have to give MM a pass for not challenging that play it’s easy to call him dumb now but the way some of those calls were going that call could have easily stood but I will blame him for not going for it on 4th and 2 and that is what separates him from the Pedersos,McVays, Reids, Paytons, and even Carrolls of the league he just doesn’t play to win. Pete Caroll went for it on 4th down in the first freaking quarter. Also THAT is how you employ a RB by committee Williams the more physical back got 1 freaking carry in the game. I’m just drained at this point it’s wash, rinse, repeat good win at home deflating loss on the road it’s actually quite pathetic this team doesn’t deserve to make the playoffs since they can’t win on the road this season is over.

Hope BG fires MM tonight

Should have been a taunting penalty on Seattle before Mason's missed FG

Adams' 1st big completion of the game was a Rodgers under throw, better throw might have been 6.

Hated the early Mason FG attempt...Packers up 7, driving. Felt like a moment to step on Seattle's neck. McCarthy coached scared late, yes, but also early. He played it the same in the NFC Champ game.

Can someone please loop Benny Hill music over that Penny run?

Tonyan is going to be a good one.

The Tonyan TD happens bc earlier in the drive Rodgers sold out and dove on the sidelines. He may not be playing his best football this year, but I still love his effort and lead-by-example leadership.

Equanimeous' different page makes me miss Jordy's same page.

Another great game from Jaire Alexander and a gutty performance from a secondary down a bunch of guys.

JR Sweezy sounds like a rapper.

Raven Green's pass interference was a pick for Jaire.

Lynard Skynard is to Freebird as Aaron Rodgers is to Too Many Men.

So many calls against the Pack, but how did Clay not get a flag for piledriving Wilson into the turf.

Shitty that FOX didn't show the good angle for Lockett's obvious non-catch until way too late.

Run The Table 2, let's do this.

Good grief. I have never chimed in on fire everyone but how in the world does MM, watching Seattle shredding our tired and depleted defense in the 4th quarter actually think we could get the ball back?
50/50 choice since 2 yards were again impossible to pick up in this game.

Wow, bad penalties on special teams. Calling two timeouts because they couldn't run a play. Stopped using Jones in the second half. A third and short and the only viable receiver running a fly pattern and Adams getting doubled. No place to throw to. These issues have been happening all season long. Even Rodgers is playing poorly. Jones was open for a checkdown on the third down play before the good field goal. Never saw him. Would have been a first down. All that is left is winning out. And how can that happen when these things keep happening?

MM really has no call for short yardage. Forces him to punt.

As much as the D perseveres. Giving up 30 pts avg in the five losses is not good 29 in thee tie.
And the offense is just not tgere to consistently up over the 35 points required.
Blaming refs and injuries is for losers.
Every team has the sameisssues.
Must stay focused on what you can control.
MM has never been able to do that in big games on the road. Should have vpbeen gone after the 2014 debacle

Why was Rodgers even passing at all nthe Packers final possession? They needed to burn some clock before scoring or Seattle would have just marched back the other way and won with a 2 minute Drive of their own. With 3rd and two, how does a QB/HC not run Jones twice? If Jones gets skinny and breaks through the short yardage defense, TD baby.

Pathetic, sad and outright disgusting.

Just lost 3 winnable games vs good teams. Petine is taking fackrell and joe shmoe in the secondary and holding it together with duct tape, exceeding expectations while Arodge is allergic to the check down and Tater Mike's offense craps the bed in crunch time calling hail Mary's on 3rd and short.

Got a lot to say, surprisingly good about this team. Maybe tomorrow. Short view, they did not quit, despite being short handed, going into Seattle and trying to steal a game, they all most pull it off. Say what you want about McCarthy, but Rodgers failed to execute. Sometimes just moving the chains is enough, why he kept going for the deep shot when the Packers had the game in hand is a question that needs to be asked. McCarthy may have to go, but he is not the problem here. This season it's Rodgers, it's all on Rodgers. Excuse me, I going out to break something now. (UGH!!!!!!!!)

What the hell happened to the offense in the second half? Rodgers is looking to go deep to many times in a game, resulting in him holding the ball to long and getting sacked. And why did McCarthy not challenge the obvious no catch? Again, Aaron Jones was not given enough opportunities to run the ball. Those penalties were game killers. Another great kickoff return called back for a holding penalty. McCarthy just doesn't seem to fix any of the problems that plague this team. It's the same old, same old, every game.

Crosby missed FG was huge
Penalties by ST equally terrible
The PI call that wasn't on Adams
Why can't the Packers run on 1st down in the second half
I can't understand why Rodgers misses checkdowns and why slant passes are never used anymore
Pete Carroll is annoying AF

Good stuff:

-Fackrell was a beast today and our defense kept putting pressure on Wilson throughout most of the game

-Aaron Jones is the real deal. He needs to be getting between 15-18 touches every game because he's a game changer. Love seeing him get involved in the passing game too

-Rodger's throws to both Tonyan and Adams were excellent

Bad stuff:

-Horrible play calling on multiple 3rd and short situations. Does anyone know if MM is calling these plays or if Rodgers is changing the play at the line?

-The injury situation is starting to become concerning

-Rodgers refusal to commit to his checkdowns. There were multiple times tonight where he had guys WIDE open underneath yet refused to throw them the ball. The missed throws were also concerning. I'm not sure that his shoulder is what it was before the injury

-The non-challenge by MM. Obviously, someone in the Packers' booth is in charge of telling the head coach when he should challenge a play. I'm not sure what happened but it was inexcusable that that "catch" was not challenged.

-Aaron Jones was slicing up the Seahawks defense throughout the first half. Pulling him in the second half was, again, inexcusable

Bottom line: The relationship between MM and AR is broken. MM is a very good coach but his time is up in Green Bay. He can no longer control or coach AR and new leadership is needed. I hope the new head coach keeps Pettine onboard because I think he is doing a fine job with a defense that is filled with mostly mediocre players (and a couple of players who were once outstanding but are now on the downward slope of their football career). While I love my Packers, I have 0% confidence in this team making the playoffs this year.

IMO this seasons failures rests on the shoulders of both Mccarthy and Rodgers. Aaron for whatever reason is not playing up to his usual standard. ..it is very obvious to me and im sure to most of us. Mccarthy too often selects the wrong plays at the wrong times during the course of the game. He also does not know how to use the talent he has on the team. Something has to change with this team and im sorry to say it has to start with mm. Im just afraid that we will lose some quality assistant coaches along with the change. But something has too be done.

Does anyone have the stats for the Packers record in games officiated by Tony Collette? Seems every time we go to Seattle we get him and, well, lose. He screwed us earlier this season as well on the Matthews sack play. He was our 2015 championship game official, and last night was a lot of phantom crap.

Aaron Rodgers is “brutificent” – equal parts brutal and magnificent. And the end result is pedestrian. Yet as I type this I’m reading at CBS Sports that “Aaron Rodgers is still amazing.” Rather than puking up the same ol’ annoying hero worship of NFL quarterbacks, isn’t it time for media folks to actually start wondering if maybe – just maybe – the Emperor ain’t got no pants?

LOL. Tonyan has caught one huge pass in his entire NFL career. This means that he is currently one-half as accomplished as Jeff Janis. Let’s not anoint him as The Promised One just yet. At this point, it’s a stretch even to say that he is certainly a capable backup.

Just because the offense is atrocious doesn’t mean the defense is awesome. There is more than enough blame here for the defense to take its share.

Although I fully agree that McCarthy deserves a ton of criticism, it’s hard for me to be too critical about not throwing the red flag. We don’t know what replays were available to the coaching staff before the next play began. I myself did not see anything BEFORE the next play that led me to think the call would be overturned. If he had challenged and lost, he would have blown his last time out.

Dear Kyler: I was wrong. And rude. And I’m sorry. Nick Perry, anything you want to say about that before you leave?

He wasn’t even remotely great, and he’s not going to save our season anyway, but there is a noticeable difference with Trevor Davis fielding kicks and punts.

Stop blaming the refs. That’s weak.

Last one out please turn off the lights. Barring a miracle, this year is over.

I went to bed late. I woke up early and I'm still pissed!

So many times, #33 is wide open, uncovered out of the backfield and #12 refuses to look his way.
He's always looking at #17 on 3rd downs & he is always doubled....so he's covered initially....#12 waits & gets sacked.

Jones is like Alvin Kamara, except Brees is smart enough to realize what a weapon Kamara is as a receiver. Our QB simply doesn't understand. Even the TD pass he did throw to Jones, it was 5 yards too far to the inside, making it a tough catch.

The bomb up the left sideline to Adams, it was underthrown by 3-5 yards, which kept it from being a touchdown.

Also had Adams deep 1-on-1 vs good ILB Wagner, and #12 threw a flutterer out of bounds so Adams catch was no good.

EQ had a ball thrown to him across the middle when he was open, and the pass was late or 5 yards behind him. Rodgers pissed & bitched at EQ.
For what? Getting open? Running past his defender? That was the play design & he got open. Rodgers thinks EQ should stop there, and let the CB catch up? I'm tired of 12 whining. Throw better.

Rodgers final pass was fitting. A simple, short key 3rd & 2 throw into the dirt. A good playcall too.
Hundley may even have been able to have completed that one.

Wilson>Rodgers
Brees>Rodgers
Mahomes>Rodgers
Brady>Rodgers
Big Ben>Rodgers
Cousins>Rodgers
Goff>Rodgers

"Life is hard when you're stupid," said my old Company Commander in the Marines.

Last night we got stupid.

Penalties, blown timeouts, missed FG, McCarthy going AWAY from Aaron Jones in the 2nd half....and the cherry on top was punting on 4th and 2.

Congratulations, Mike. Each week you show us another page from The Stupid Book. Stay tuned next week to see what else he's got up his sleeve.

But you know what wouldn't be stupid?

Firing him.

Same issues. Same results. I would comment more, but it’s the same issues...same results. Ugh!

My Gut Reaction "Sad But True" Reading the postgame analysis on Cheesehead TV is actually more satisfying than watching the Packers play.... Great Job Mr Nagler!

Too many bad penalties, again.
Too little Aaron Jones, again.
Too many injuries, as usual.
On our final series, I would have run Jamaal Williams on the 3rd and 2 rather than Rodgers throwing the ball into the ground. That pass looked like it was off someone's hand or helmet. If Williams doesn't make it go for it on 4th down rather than punt.

This team plays like they are looking for their players for next season. So far they have found Alexander, Fackrell, maybe Tonyan and Brown. They are still looking for their safeties. Did Oren Burks play last night?

Put Perry or IR and then chuck him, take the cap hit. Let Fackrell play out the season. He has fresh legs and he wreaks havoc in the opponents backfield.

Seattle remains the Packers House of Horrors. Thanks, Since '61

I'm glad to read through the intriguing and insightful comments as a kind of therapy for the third tough loss in the last four games. Ughhhhh! Rrrrrr!
Perhaps the most important takeaway is that maybe, just maybe, Aaron Rodgers has to learn that being a great quarterback with multiple championships (a la Bart Starr and Tom Brady) is not only about the spectacular plays, but has a lot to do with the little things. A paradox of winning football seems to be that if Rodgers gets the short passing game clicking, and hands off to Aaron Jones more often, the longer plays will open up more often -- and a seemingly talented offense will find its groove.
Perhaps there's even time for this season as far as making the playoffs. As horrible as it feels now, two or three convincing wins could really turn the mood around.
It may be good to try for a surge down the stretch without McCarthy, if there's an interim coach around who could maintain some continuity while making a few key changes, and could infuse a sense of confidence to ignite a general enthusiasm.
