FWIW I like McCarthy. Seems like a solid kid. And to remind us of a quote from Harbaugh: McCarthy is “…an elite competitor and the best quarterback in the draft.” Harbaugh believed McCarthy plays the position better than any other QB in the 2024 draft class. Guess we’ll see. He showed some serious grit tonight and adapted to what was given him.

Maybe but really the offense hasn’t done much to offset it. Edit: and don’t forget Johnson pissed away a TO on that earlier challenge.

So far Johnson’s hardball approach is giving us undisciplined play: 10 penalties for 108 yards. That’s 1 more yard than they have in total rushing yards (107).

I think Swift is a slow starter. He seems to get better with more carries.

I’m lovin me some Sewell!

The D is feasting!!! (I still hate Dennis Allen). 😉

So after the first half Williams not looking all that much like a “generational” player, that is unless you count the plays he made while out the pocket and scrambling. (Where have we seen that before?). After the scripted plays for the first several plays of the half, Caleb looked a little lost. As Troy pointed out numerous times missed a handful of big play opportunities because he didn’t read past the first option. Remind me again how he’s better than the previous two 1st round picks? 😘 😎

I would but yes they have yet to play meaningful game under Johnson so only time will tell. And yes I didn’t get to see nearly any often game but from what I read they came out flat . Oh and yes I greatly dislike Dennis Allen I’ve said it once I’ll say it again, Goffs stats for the last three years in LA were nearly identical to what they were under three years of Johnson. Maybe Johnson’s schemes made all the rest of Detroit’s offense look good and not Goff. Guess we’ll see. Edit: this post brought to you courtesy of Woodford Reserve. 🥃

I wasn’t able to see the game at all because for some odd reason it was blocked in my area. Anyhow seems the team has ALOT of growing to do. Need to get their collective shit together before they play Minny in a few weeks. Will they win? Maybe. FWIW I’m not a fan at all of Dennis Allen and still convinced Goff made Johnson look good (not the other way around). Hoping to be proven wrong . I did see some highlights with Bagent and he looked solid. Glad he’s been secured for a few years.

Good to know. Magnitude is variable for a lot of reasons. Depth of quake, surrounding 'terra-ferma' (marshy vs granite rock) and of course the building materials and concentration of people in immediate area. A 7.1 (like we had in 2018) here would be a lot different in LA. And like Chile said, generally anything above a 7.0 is considered significant....let alone 8.3 and 8.8 (wow!). Glad to hear you're good.

Hey Stinger. Saw the news about the earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand … thought ‘do I know anyone over there’? I see you posted a little bit ago and glad to assume you’re good. We went through a 7 pointer a few years back and MAN what a ride .

Add in Detroit’s second round loss by 14 points and I’m still not sure the NFC north was “all that”. Detroit was the #1 and Washington #6.

Yup. I think people were tricked into thinking he was some sort of offensive genius. Once we found out first hand he wasn’t it became much more who obvious who runs their offense in KC (Reid). Especially when Bienemy left to Washington and UCLA only to flame out in both places.

1000% agree.

The only real concern I have with Johnson, besides relatively unproven outside of Detroit is that Goffs production the last three years were very similar to his last three with the Rams. Which begs to ask, is Johnson or Goff the reason for their offense success? It would be sorta like comparing how Nagy looked in KC before coming to Chicago.

McCarthy actually coached the Packers to a SB win after the 2010 season (SB XLV). Ironically enough they played Pittsburgh who was coached by none other than Mike Tomlin. That was also the last time that Chicago played in the NFC Championship game (against GB).

How about Mike Tomlin? Is he in the McVay/Shanny conversation when it comes to potentially giving up a first for him? Reason I ask is that has come up in conversation. That Pittsburgh might be willing to part with him due to what appears to be him getting stuck in neutral when it comes to the playoffs. I saw some pundits suggest he and McCarthy should just changes locations and that might do the trick. With McCarthy it would make sense as he is a Pennsylvania native.

Brown had it figured out for the three games he was solely the OC. In those games the Bears played valiantly against Detroit, GB and Minny only to lose by a few points each game. Once he elevated to HC, the magic disappeared. Having watched all that All-22 my question is, what the hell was Kmet doing? Sitting on the sideline? He just disappeared…

So in hindsight was the NFC north as good as their combined records reflected? Both GB and Minny were bounced in the first round by a combined score of 49-19. And one other funny nugget I saw earlier today. Minny lost to only two teams all season. Detroit (twice during the regular season) and the Rams (once during the regular season and again last night).

I know but thought it would be worth noting. I mean Aaron could bring his buddy Paul Hackett as the new OC. 🤷🏻‍♂️

McCarthy strikes me as a blue coller, lunchpail totin type of guy. Would fit in with the Bears in that regard . No denying his winning record with both GB and Dallas . If this happens I hope that since Rodgers will be looking for a new job we don’t become a possible landing spot. 😱

5 (?) now???

I feel Johnson is going to be this year’s version of Daboll.

Disregard.
