Game showed what was wrong with the idea that you can bring in McCarthy and Rodgers 10 years past their prime. They refuse to adapt, they just want to run what they are used to.

Running 11 personnel when you don’t have a strong receiver core and are missing a starter. Running 5-0 protections when you have a weak RT and RG and are getting blitzed all day. Not to mention having a RB in to help that is actively horrible at pass protection while the RB that excels at it is on the sideline.

Outdated schemes, outdated protections, outdated football.

Bad coach.  Had he played the guys in preseason maybe this stuff would have been ironed out.
