Sherman needs to be treated for his affliction, the same one that plagues the majority of his coaching cohorts....conservative play calling.
They ran the ball ad nauseum killing drives and setting themselves up for 2nd and long. When you average 2.5 yards per carry and complete 70% of your passes averaging 7.5 yards per pass attempt, these coaches love to run the ball for little or no gain on 1st down.
GB could have blown out ARIZ, but they chose not to and put themselves in a position where they were vulnerable.

Two straight 12-4 seasons and people are calling for Sherman's head? Get a clue guys.
If anything, criticize his G.M. moves...poor, poor high picks.
Everybody was screaming that the Packers threw too much against Minnesota. Now it's throw it more.
Packers' problems are they have no pass rush--thanks in part to letting Holliday go and drafting a benchwarmer Jamal Reynolds No. 1 a couple of years ago.
And Favre has lost his long-pass ability. His high throws have killed more drives.
Packers are in trouble, but since they are in such a weak division, they can probably lose up to six or seven games and still be in it.

You need to watch more football on Sundays son...your spending to much time at your parents house in the South Bronx drinking fine wine and watching dog racing replays.

Favre might have lost a step, hard to say. But the Pack's problem is simply that their defense is riddled with more holes than a piece of Wisconsin swiss cheese (and I speak as a Wisconite!). They've lost too many good players in the last couple of years. Sherman's a decent coach but not in the class of Holmgren, and people around here are in for a long winter imho.
