I saw a lot of people on Twitter during the second half of Sunday's Packers' win going after Mike McCarthy for being too conservative. I don't blame folks for slapping the conservative label on McCarthy -- I've done it a few times myself -- but Sunday wasn't the day to do it.
Consider this:
- Eddie Lacy was running wild. The same folks calling out McCarthy for his conservatism would've been calling the coach out for not feeding Lacy if the Packers aired it out more in the second half.
- Costly penalty. A holding penalty negated a third-down conversion early in the second half, forcing the Packers to kick a field goal.
