For those of you who have Packer fan friends, have you checked on them to make sure they are OK today? I checked on mine and they have all survived.
That game was actually lost by GB in the first quarter in my opinion. My son and I watched the game and at the time when GB was scoring FGs when they should have been scoring TDs we both said it could portend disaster for GB in the end. But still, possession of the ball and a 12 point lead with 5:00 to go. Yikes.
McCarthy made the critical mistake we sometimes see coaches make in the playoffs. He was an aggressive coach all during the season and then went away from his style of coaching when they needed him to be aggressive. I have always said it is a big mistake when coaches get to playoff games and then don't do the things that got them there in the first place. Fourth and 12 inches and his rear end tightens up like a snare drum.
