Sack fisher...

I hate this game...

Broncos v pats was great.

If the Packers miss the playoffs then McCarthy will come under pressure ... was it 8 coaches who got the boot all on the same day last year or 2 years ago?

Regardless, the NFL is all about winning and if a team doesn't win enough, the coach usually goes. The Americans like to "change things up" as a bit of a rule of thumb anyway.

There's loads of offensive and defensive coaches as well as college coaches to choose from and it's not as if these coaches aren't remunerated exceptionally well anyway. These sacked coaches can sometimes get a 2nd chance too - not sure how frequent but the ratio is miles ahead of a sport like the AFL.

    Would McCarthy? I mean surely his record and the injuries this year give him a period of grace, it's not like this is 11 years of not having a winning season let alone making the play offs.

    Fisher is into his fourth season and we have not improved really.

    Our D is amazing but you can see how tired they look and the injuries they are getting due to the time they are on the field vs the offence. I'd love to see how many minutes each have been on the field. Especially the last five weeks.

    I think it's time to sack fisher. There are a few coaches ready to go. Jim Scwartz the ex lions coach has a great defensive mind, doug marrone who walked out on the buffalo job and all the coordinators out there who should get a chance will be in line for a gig. Rams are too talented to be wasting opportunities right now. I've only seen one Rams game this year but the offense was so predictable and non effective it looked like a first time madden player.

    As a vikings fan I would love to see Green Bay over react and sack everyone. Start at the QB position, then the head coach. Those two never lose to us.

    McCarthy is just an average coach who divides opinion amongst Packer fans ... his play calling during the NFC Championship game last season was poor ... settling for 3 pointers on the road was costly in the long run.

    If we miss the playoffs his position will come under threat ... at a guess I reckon he'd survive but he'd be on notice.

    Your blokes just continue to rack up the wins cfh - kudos.

    Every team gets injuries Gorgo and our's haven't been that bad ... we haven't covered well enough for the loss of Nelson and that's on the coaching staff in my opinion. It's as if they're using the loss of Nelson as an excuse. If Rodgers was out - different story.

    We have high expectations at Green Bay and losing 4 of 5 with a multiple MVP winning QB is just unacceptable.

    Yeah the St Louis newspaper is giving him heaps about his terrible offence. Four years, something has got to give.

    We will lose good defensive players soon and then we will be proper fooked!

    Unbelievable finish to MNF!

    Yet at the same time totally believable. It's the Browns.

    Pre game I think it was Steve Young saying the Browns can't be influence by the past and have to make decisions based on what really is right but I feel for them because they just can't seem to win no matter what they do. Not even the other perennially bad teams in the NFL compete with their level of misery.

    So with their history you'd say they needed to win every game they can, build confidence in their coach and build a winning feeling. But the other side of that is they need a top draft pick and to get one right for once and they need to decide if Manziel (or even Davis) is the long term QB. Plus they need to find the right coach and the right GM. I think they have the right coach but not the right GM.

    I'm really glad no poor bugger on here follows the Demons and Browns.

    Just had a look at the schedule and hadn't noticed that the Packers & Detroit play tomorrow ... well, at least the pain or the glory will be out of the way quickly :blink:

    These Thursday night games come up quickly and for this week at least, there's a lot riding on this game ... Bears & Viking fans barracking for the Lions? You betcha!

    Detroit are starting to play really well and who knows with the Packers? .. not confident.

    I was reading about coaches under the pump and when they got to Fisher they said he is safe...

     

    what? In 21 years he has had 5 winning seasons... None in his four with the Rams, Kelly who has done well at the Eagles other than this year is under more heat, even saying Payton at NO is under the pump.

    what dirty secrets does fisher hold???

    Some sports people (including coaches) seem to always get a pass mark or are untouchable whilst others are seemingly always under the pump. And there doesn't seem to be sound reasoning as to why.

    Packers & Rodgers... Wow :blink:

    Only had radio and I'd given up on the win on quite a few occasions during the game (especially after the 1st quarter and then at half time)

    First of all pass interference might have been called in that last frantic minute and then that dubious face mask call when time had run out ... then the hail-mary.

    A freak win and we were awfully lucky - but sometimes the best team loses and we've all been on the end of that type of misfortune before ... the Packers saved their season in unbelievable circumstances and the Lions lost a game they should never have lost (and they are done for the year to boot - well, you'd reckon they're done!)

    Oh. My. God!

     

    i had given up on the packers, then that slight face ask, but it was there, but that throw to Rodgers and what a catch, all it needed was quarters calling him a star!

     

    I think the play before was a good no call.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
