What a waste of Aaron Rodgers. How does the GM who built the crappy team roster and missed more often than naught on draft picks get fired since the Packers are owned by nonvoting stock holders?

Better late than never, I suppose I was half-expecting to see Rodgers' retirement before they finally got rid of McCarthy. The guy has wasted the prime years of one of the best QBs ever to play the game.

Now they need to do something about their GM.

The front office got completely turned over a year ago. They drafted very well this year and picked up good free agents. Now that new staff will pick their coach.

Is this for real?

I figured he was out, but not till after the season.

You take away the last two years, this and last, and McCarthy was one of the coaches in the GB Packers history with the highest winning percentage.

But, the man just did not have the ability to light fires under the players asses.

I hope they get rid of Rodgers and a few others. clean the house and start over. Bad attitudes do not make for a team and they have a lot of players on that team with this I am so GREAT attitude.

BTW here comes the “get this coach or get that on bs.”

I hope they get someone who can make that team play no matter what.

After watching this game today, they need a general cleaning.

Reminds me of Marino.

All he ever had were the two Marks.

Hi.

Hasn’t Philbin been interim coach for a couple of teams?

Dolphins and Wayne H. the Destroyer.

About time. Wasted years & years of this great QBs prime. Horrible coach.

Yep. Just like what happened to Steve Young. Rode the bench behind Montana and most of his good playing years were gone by the time he became a starter.

Such a shame for the Packers. This is their 100th season in existence.

That will happen when you lose at home to the lowly Cardinals. I thought they would keep McCarthy till the end of the season.

I used to LOVE Rodgers, until he defended the kneelers, like the piece of sub-human monkey vomit, anti-American pile of rat excrement that he is. I wish a life of pain and suffering on him.

“The front office got completely turned over a year ago. They drafted very well this year and picked up good free agents. Now that new staff will pick their coach.”

Agreed! *BUMP* I can live with a, ‘rebuilding year.’ We’ve done it before, we can do it again. Remember the chest beating and self-flagellation of the post-Favre years? *SNORT*

(Fan since 1963...when I could toddle over to the TV and change the channel to The Packers when Dad asked me, LOL!)

I REALLY did love him. I’ve been NFL since 1972, and I am crushed at what the libs have done to it.

I’m a Redskins guy, but I’ve always loved the league more: General Motors, Disney, the NFL—in my book there was nothing more American than these titans. Liberals have destroyed all three, ESPECIALLY the NFL.

Rodgers is filth, garbage, and anti-American trash. No evil fate is too bad for him.

When you have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, you better be AT LEAST 12-4 every year.

Anything less is a crime against humanity.

He’s the best quarterback I’ve ever seen play the game.

Too bad he’s an anti-American sub-human piece of filth.
