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.

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

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!)

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
