What a mess this has been all season.

When head coach Mike McCarthy gave up the play calling duties after the NFC Championship loss last season, I was a bit skeptical as to how much power he was truly giving up.

Entering Week 14, McCarthy took back the play calling from associate head coach Tom Clements, which seemingly made an impact in a 28-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Since, the Packers offense has displayed the same stagnant effort we have seen all season.

Dink and dive football without utilizing your running back will not get you far in this league, as the Packers have found out the hard way.
