Mike McCarthy Watch Begins Now?
Nov 5th
Well, the Green Bay Packers aren’t even at the halfway point of their season and the Mike McCarthy watch has already begun – at least in some circles. I’ve never been a fan of McCarthy. In fact, last season when everyone was blaming defensive coordinator Bob Sanders for the Packers failures, I suggested they look [...]
Johnny Jolly: The Embodiment of What’s Wrong in Green Bay
Nov 2nd
Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly made some pretty boneheaded comments to the Green Bay Press-Gazette following Sunday’s 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, regarding his personal foul penalty. Jolly gave the Vikings a fresh set of downs in the first quarter after being flagged for head butting Vikings running back Chester Taylor. The [...]
Placing Responsibility For the Packers Penalties
Oct 20th
The argument can certainly be made that no one but Chad Clifton was responsible for the four penalties he committed against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but it’s hard to understand why Clifton did it. The Green Bay Packers were playing at home, so it’s unlikely crowd noise was a factor. Clifton wasn’t lining up [...]
Packers Sense of Urgency Needs Come From Within
Oct 13th
It was refreshing to hear a member of the Green Bay Packers address the elephant in the room, yesterday. “Nobody’s happy where we’re at right now. Nobody. We’re 2-2, man. That’s not good. We have too much talent to be 2-2. Too many people care to be 2-2,” nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. This came [...]
Enter, The Walrus
May 14th
Since nothing has been going on with old whats-his-name (unless you work at ESPN, where the “There’s Corn in Brett Favre’s Shit” story has got everyone on red alert), we thought we’d post about another former Green Bay Packers great, The Walrus AKA Mike Holmgren. Pretty much as soon at The Walrus decided he was [...]
Dom Capers Is the Man
Jan 19th
The Green Bay Packers have finally settled on a defensive coordinator, and his name is Dom Capers. Anyone who knows anything about football will recall that Capers coached the Carolina Panthers from 1995-98. And anyone who knows anything about the Packers will recall the Packers handled Capers’ Panthers in the 1996 NFC Championship game. Capers [...]
Packers Purge Defensive Coaching Staff
Jan 5th
Bob Sanders has been fired as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator – something that doesn’t come as much of a surprise after special teams coach Mike Stock retired on Friday. Something that is somewhat more of a surprise, however, is the Packers’ entire defensive coaching staff was canned along with Sanders, with the exception [...]
New Green Bay Packers’ Coach: The Short List
Dec 16th
No, Mike McCarthy hasn’t been fired… yet. But there’s no sense in not preparing for the future, and we here at Total Packers like to be prepared. While there’s no telling if Big Ted will do the right thing after the season by parting ways with McCarthy, here’s a look at what would make the [...]
Cowboys Don’t Implode, Packers Do
Dec 15th
Numb. That about sums up how I feel about the Green Bay Packers after their 20-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. Pretty much every aspect of the game was ugly. The overwhelming feeling that the Packers have been in this situation before, that they wouldn’t come through on a particular play, and that this [...]
The White Elephant in the Room
Dec 10th
Most everyone is quick to point the finger at defensive coordinator Bob Sanders as the scapegoat in this dismal Green Bay Packers’ season. And the proverbial finger has good reason to be pointed in Sanders direction, especially after a disgusting 24-21 home loss to the Houston Texans, in which the defense was carved up for [...]
Mike McCarthy – A List

Here is a short list of people who are better football coaches than Mike McCarthy.
