The Packers hired... umm... who again? Oh yeah, this guy-- anybody ever heard of him? Buehler, Buehler...? No? Hmm.... Seems he had some success in New Orleans before going to San Francisco and presiding over the worst offense in the entire league!
Okay, okay, stay calm. Maybe that last stat is deceiving... yeah, that's it. The 9'ers couldn't have been that dreadful, right? All right, then. Item by item:
Okay, okay, stay calm. Maybe that last stat is deceiving... yeah, that's it. The 9'ers couldn't have been that dreadful, right? All right, then. Item by item:
- # of offensive plays run: Last
- Yards per game: Last
- Yards per play: Last
- 1st downs per game: 32! (Oh wait, that's still last)
- 3rd down conversion percentage: Last
- Penalties: 22nd! (Wow, that's almost out of the bottom third)
- Time of Possession: 31st (Take THAT J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets)
- TFs: Tied for 5th! (Anybody know what a TF is? Seriously, I have no idea what this stat is for)
- L: Tied for 8th! (Of course, that may be bad. Most of the teams with more L's were pretty dreadful. So, anybody know if L's are good or bad?)
- Passing yards: Last
- Passing TDs: Last (With 8! Don't you just accidentally throw more than 8 TDs in a season?)
- Sacks: 5th! (Oh wait, they give up the 5th most sacks. So that's bad.)
- Rushing yards: 17th! (Hey, that's mediocre!)
- Scoring: 30th (Thank you New Orleans and Cleveland)
Yup, that's pretty impressive. I can definitely see why Ted Thompson wanted this guy! I mean, we undoubtedly needed to improve our number of TFs and Ls, and McCarthy is clearly the guy to do it.
Hold tight-- Mike and Ted's Bogus Journey is about to start!

OK, before you throw this guy under the bus, let's look at what else he had this last year in San Francisco. Specifically, he probably had the worst offensive line in football and a rookie QB that wasn't in camp early to teach and was injured for some of the season.
I'm not saying that this guy is a genius, but he made Aaron Brooks a semi-respectable QB for a while. (Check out how bad Brooks was this year with him gone.)
