    McCarthy's Monday Afternoon Disinformation Campaign

    1. Belichick is listening and watching.
    2. When you can lay eyes directly on him, assume he is recording elsewhere.
    3. All helicopters and planes should be treated as potential security leaks
    4. Ask all visitors to Lambeau a security question only they and not Belichick would know (eg. What are Swift and Perry feuding about (ie. not Doug Swift and Michael Dean Perry)? What does it mean to throw shade (ie. not Shady McCoy)? Where is Maroon 5 (not last 5 yards of endzone)?

    The home team usually sets 3 points just for being at home so it is truly a pick 'em.

    #'s 3 and 5?? Undoubtedly true.

    Not sure about the others, although I suspect Capers does molest puppies

    IMO the reported spread is about right. Very close game. If the game were at Foxboro, I'd say NE.

    Look at the NE depth chart and compare to the Packers.

    On offense the only NE guy I'd rather have would be Gronk.

    On defense, I'd take the NE guys up the middle...Wilfork and Hightower. Maybe Jamie Collins, he's pretty impressive. Otherwise, our guys are just as good, even considering Revis and Browner.

    Both teams should be up for the game. Green Bay will play with emotion; NE will be supremely confident.

    Please, Stubby, no onsides kicks. No going for it on 4th down from your own territory in the 1st qtr. No challenges until the end of the game. Take what they give you and FIELD POSITION, FIELD POSITION, FIELD POSITION!

    Oh, and Stubby, another 25 carries for Lacy.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    3) Detroit did not get any sacks. I can't find information on hurries or QB hits to tell what sort of pressure Brady was under.
    Watching the NFL rewind most of Brady's passes were 10 yds or less, just got the ball and threw it, over and over again. Hard to get any pressure.

    #Packers' points vs. number of plays is an anomaly. #Patriots have #NFL-high 357 points on 757 plays. Packers with 354 points on 663 plays.

    3 points....for home field....so the Pack and Pats are considered equal.

    Playing conservatively against a good/great team like the Patriots is simply asking for a loss.

    The Packers need to be aggressive in all THREE dimensions!

    The bolded piece above - I can't remember if that is a McCarthy theme that is commonly sounded, or if it's something I remember hearing a lot in 2010 and not much since.

    So what game plan are we thinking the Patriots are going to come with? Their game plans vary as much as any team in the league.

    Are they going to go with the power run like they did against Indy? Or more of a spread it out and try to get it to Gronk on a LB?

    I would imagine you'd run on one of the league's worst run defenses. Once they're softened up, you bomb them with Gronk and friends.

    They are going to run until the Packers stop it. They will want to avoid the sub defense so they can pass effectively as well.

    Since when is NOT kicking onsides playing conservatively? Or punting from your own territory on 4th down? Or taking what they give you?

    I'd like to see us be opportunistic rather than aggressive. You have the opportunity to throw downfield, take it. Don't force it. You have an opportunity fake a field goal or punt, do it. Don't do it just to do it.

    No QB no matter how good likes to play with his back at his own end zone. Field position will help our defense more than anything.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
