. . Green Bay Packers. Mike McCarthy. 1. player. 49

Forget Aaron Rodgers’ “R-E-L-A-X” comments from a couple years ago, because the Green Bay Packers are now in full “P-A-N-I-C” mode, and fans are starting to call for Mike McCarthy’s head.

The Packers are coming off of an embarrassing 47-25 loss to the Tennessee Titans last week and will play on the national stage against the Washington Redskins on Sunday Night Football. At just 4-5, the Packers need to turn things around in a big way if they’re going to make the playoffs.

One of the biggest problems for the Packers has been their defense, which is giving up 26 points per contest and is good enough for just 24th in the NFL. Meanwhile, the offense has been wildly inconsistent despite McCarthy being an offensive-minded guy.

Injuries have been a serious problem for the Packers, but they’re not alone on that front. Packers fans are getting sick and tired of early exits in the playoffs and just one Super Bowl title in the Aaron Rodgers era. They’re sick of the status quo and want to see the team make a splash to try and turn things around.

If the Packers lose again on Sunday night, then McCarthy can kiss his job goodbye after 2016.
