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

How do I put this gently? The Green Bay Packers are, well, they’re not very good right now. At 4-6, the Packers are coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Redskins in front of a national audience on Sunday Night Football.

Now, the Packers go into another primetime game with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Green Bay is currently third in the NFC North, the secondary has been depleted due to injuries, and the entire team is falling apart.

McCarthy continues to assure the public that he’s not worried about losing his job, but he should be. The offense is in shambles and Aaron Rodgers doesn’t seem to trust the system he plays in anymore.

Packers fans are getting sick of making it to the playoffs and losing before they can reach the Super Bowl. If this team misses the playoffs entirely, its fanbase is going to be furious, and they’re going to be calling for McCarthy’s head.

Every game is a must-win for the Packers at this point, and if they lose their fifth straight on Monday night, McCarthy’s seat is going to be the hottest in the league.
