Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy was a bit off in his game plan for the Packers game on Sunday. In my prediction, I noted that Victor Cruz would have to come up big early before the Packers went into prevent defense with a big lead. Mike McCarthy started the game off by allowing the Giants to set the tempo deferring the coin toss, allowing the Giants to get the ball first. Then, after getting back even at 10-10, Mike McCarthy showed he had no confidence whatsoever in his defense by doing an on side kick which failed. He did it again in the fourth quarter when a kick off deep was the only sensible option. I'm afraid Mike McCarthy just had a bad day and it forced the Packers to press too much on offense, hence the overthrows by Rodgers and the drops by Nelson and others. Mike McCarthy simply needs to come back next season and kick some butt. And I'm sure he'll redeem himself with a few rings in the next two seasons.
I look for the Giants to be held to under 14 points this week against a 49ers defense which will stop the run. The Patriots to trounce the Ravens pretender defense with 40 points will set the stage for a blowout Super Bowl with Tom Brady winning his first ring in 6 seasons.
