Respectfully disagree. A few of weeks ago some here and elsewhere were praising McCarthy and his "resilience" message, even mentioning "Coach of the Year". Now with this one play, he takes all the blame for this loss, and some are calling for his head.

He made a decision. Team didn't execute. If they went for the FG and Maher missed, he probably would have been criticized for not trusting his offense to make those couple of yards. And maybe he just wanted to seal the win with a TD, and not to give the Packers a chance to win with a TD, as A-Rod was hot. As it turned out, Packers probably could have gotten a TD if they had to, instead of the winning FG.

So bottom-line, even if they make that FG, it DID NOT assure them from not losing the game. Let see how they look against the Vikings, as IMO, that will be a pivotal game.
