Fire Joe Barry -- Updated -- he's gone

[games]

Let's get someone over to Lambeau to make sure Joe Barry is watching Scooby Doo or Space Ghost or something other than the Panthers/Bucs or Falcons/Saints games. He doesn't need any more ideas...

The Panthers just rushed Baker Mayfield near end of the half with ONE player. (The result was an incomplete pass, but still...) Bucs offensive juggernaut is leading 6-0 at half.

Saints just let Falcons saunter down the field w less than a minute left for a game-tying FG at half. Score is 17-17. (Good for the Packers, tho.)

Meanwhile, the Panthers have not scored since hanging 30 on our defense two weeks ago.

If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle LOL

Not any more.

On the flip side the Pack has had their starting QB for all 17 games. Not all of their opponents had their starters against GB.

I was providing the flip side to Milani's post. Does this mean I'm obliged to make a flip side to your flip-flip side?

I agree with you on the defense. From where we sit, we really didn't see much of a rudder. Maybe Preston Smith or Rashan Gary stepped up but we just didn't see it? I suspect, but could never prove, that Savage was a bit of leader for the secondary, but his individual grades combined with his injuries didn't help.

Melton's comments yesterday, combined with comments made by others throughout the year, make me think Love took over the offense.

I didn't see any evidence of veteran leadership on either side of the ball in the first half of the season. They committed as many dumb penalties as the young kids did. Shame on them and the coaching staff which stunk overall in the first two months. IMO, THEY are the reason we're still fighting to get into the playoffs. Unimpressed with the whole lot of them. The kids have really come on in the 2nd half. Kudos to them. They've saved the season imo.

UPDATE: Their 30 points have turned out to be their final points of the season.

Two teams that scored a combined 64 on us, played each other and scored a combined total of 9.

Barry seems to be calling a much better game lately.

Enough said.

Every bears drive crossed midfield today.

That's not good.

I don't think Barry is getting fired this offseason.

 

[Poppa San]

That's not good.

TBH every drive by both teams crossed midfield. Love fumbled in Bears territory.

Amazing that only 26 points were scored.

Everyone get ready to hold your nose...

The defense ended up ranked 10th in the league in points allowed.

That's right. Joe Barry is DC of one of the NFL's Top 10 defenses...

Yeah but ... but ... but .... they'll get smoked by top QBs like Mahomes, and Goff, and err .... nm.
Really. Where the eff has this defense been the past two seasons?

Yet we held our last two opponents to 10 or less going into the playoffs.

I'm not sure MLF would fire a top 10 DC. Hate to say it, despite the midfield issue, I thought they looked pretty good today. We'll see how they do against Dallas...

 

[PackerDNA]

Hell of a job by the defense today.

 

[PackerDNA]

Yeah, I expected more points. We left points on the field even though we moved the ball well. But our defense is pretty much shut down all day

Yes. On the 1st Thursday of every month.

Actually, I think Barry is a victim of his own success he had against better teams before the failures he had after those with lesser teams.

Personally, I'd recommend keeping Joe Barry in a heartbeat IF he were allowed to explain what went wrong with the Giants and Bucs. But, I'm just a fat slob in a beater with Cheetos stains. No one owes me an explanation.

I guess I just want some comfort knowing this staff knows what happened and it won't happen again.

Blow it out your smokestack,Sparky. I don't do anything on a timeframe anymore. I'm semi-retired.
