Foster on Stopping GB Offense
Buccaneers LB Mason Foster speaks with the media talks about going out and stopping the Green Bay offense and how that would show how much the defense has progressed throughout the year.
P A C K E R S !
If the Packers lose to TB they deserve no playoff spot. Especially after last Sundays performance.

Mike McCarthy warns team against overconfidence against Bucs
By NewsHub @newshub
The Green Bay Packers are 10-point favorites on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have won just one of their last 10 games and none in six tries at home.
PACKERS !
Here's a man with his work cut out for him...
http://cmsimg.greenbaypressgazette.c...-Mike-McCarthy
How do you motivate a clearly superior team to play hard against a team that dwells on the bottom of the NFL's barrel?
First, Stubby floats the idea that the game against Tampa is the start of the playoffs which it clearly is not. His players are not stupid. Recently, he even had his men choose team captains for the post-season. A move which his QB called "oozing confidence."
Now Stubby is warning his team not to get overconfident because even though Tampa's best player on defense is out of the game, the Buccaneers still have some mighty good players.
Of course it's obvious to all that the entire team has that last game at home against Detroit on its mind.
Seriously, what's a coach to do?
Football is a game of emotions? How do you make sure your team of wealthy, professional, celebrity football players have an emotional edge when they get off that plane in Tampa, FL?
Maxie, it's like the NCAA where the 3 seed plays the 14th seed. You need the win to keep going, it's supposed to be a cake walk, but you can always lose... The Stubby strategy of treating it like a playoff game is appropriate. The key is getting your guys to play at a high level without getting them tight.
I think it's kind of transparently phony. It's not like 2010 where you either win or go home. That said, I really don't know what I would do to get the players at a "high level" and at the same time keep them from getting "tight."
I might just approach it matter-of-factly: "You guys are pros. You know the situation as well as I do. If you phone this one in, you'll get whipped and possibly hurt. Now dig deep, earn your damn paychecks and remember why you're here. Now let's go strap it on and show these bums what a superior team looks like. Let's have fun beating the crap out of them."
But that's just me. :-)
Excuse me ... an airport Nazi?
Is that the same as 'a Travel Nazi'?

It's not that difficult, really:

No, that blunt is fired. Fired up.
Packers are gonna pound TB. Then we'll be happy and think everything is fixed. Terry and Jimmy and Howey and Mikey will say so too.
OK, I'll believe, but just this one last time.

Thursday's practice:
Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 2h2 hours ago
DNP: Bulaga (concussion), House (shoulder)
Limited: Lang (ankle), Neal (abdomen), Matthews (biceps), Perry (shoulder), Lacy (eye), Sitton (?)
Lacy has an eye: some kind of adverse reaction to his contacts in one eye. He would prefer not to go with the Jabbar/Worthy google solution, but plans to wear the contacts despite his eyeball rejecting them. Might have to stop using seltzer to clean contacts.
(?) Some had him limited, Silverstein had him DNP.
"Howey?"
He needs to start using the peroxide solution for his contacts (can't remember the brand name).
automatic loss. don't even fly down there.
I don't see anything phony in what McCarthy is doing. I see it as a genuine statement as the head coach that this is a big fucking game if they want to get to where they need to be as a team. The last thing this team needs is to go stumbling into the final game of the year against a pretty tough Detroit underperforming two games in a row. It's not an elimination game per se, but the time is now to start working up to that intense focus and heighten the level of play.
I think he's creatively saying through action that is more powerful than just saying it, "It's real boys, and that shitstorm you laid in Buffalo ain't gonna get it done starting now." Not sure how they wouldn't be buying into that.

CLEAR CAREĀ® Solution:
" CLEAR CAREĀ® Solution uses hydrogen peroxide to help prevent eye infections by killing harmful germs and bacteria on contact lenses. "
Yea...Yes... Certainly ... right on. It's time to piss or get off the pot.
There is no way a Super Bowl caliber NFL team should have played the way the Green Bay Packers did in Buffalo.
That was clearly ' just awful '. How in HELL could that have happened? Is anyone really surprized?
The cumulative score in Packer road games:
Opposition 182 - Green Bay Packers 148.
Think about that fact.
Do you imagine that the Green Bay Packers have any chance 'really' if they don't win the NO. 2 Seed and gain some momentum with a 'W' in their next game.
Packerrats...The Playoffs begin this Sunday in Tampa Bay.
GO PACK GO !
We don't have to face this guy:

Home teams are 128-96-1 this year. So no surprise for good teams to go 5-3 or 4-4 on the road this year.
Dallas is 7-0 on the road.
Cin and Pitt both have 5 road wins.
Everyone else in the NFL has won 4 games or less on the road.
The mighty Seahags are 4-3 same as the Pats and Broncos.
AFC North records should not count, they play all the teams in the NFC South this year.
These guys really are still kids, Lacy apparently wore his contacts past the 30 recommended days.

Every team in the NFL has gone on the road and laid an egg this year. New England got smoked by KC who lost to the Titans. Denver got housed by St. Louis who got smoked by the Vikings. The Packers have laid four eggs. Unfortunately, they seem to suck when they lose, as opposed to losing close games. Two times (Detroit and Buffalo) the defense played well enough to support the team. Two other times (Seattle and New Orleans) the defense was not even close to good enough. 3 of the 4 losses (Seattle, Detroit, and Buffalo) were to very strong defenses, with New Orleans being the exception. All four losses are on the road, which doesn't bode well. Only one time this year (Miami) did the Packers go on the road and beat a quality defense, and that was by the skin of their teeth. I'm most concerned about how the team travels, especially against formidable defenses who will be especially amped up come playoff time. That's not the Packer defense's fault, that's the offense being out of sync. Should the Packers make a deep playoff run, they will likely have Seattle on the road. That would be tough.
