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)?
5. The cashier at Buger King is a plant.

McCarthy: Normal workweek with the Patriots. Assistants did some preliminary game-planning late last week, like always.

MM: New England's a great football team. We're not going to make a bunch of changes. We like the football that we are.

McCarthy: "We're not going to get too far away from the yellow pad or too far away from the video screen."

MM on GB's offense: Whether it comes through the run or the pass is irrelevant.
Packer Report @PackerReport · 15m 15 minutes ago
Gronkowski huge challenge. Big catch radius, faster than people think. "Definitely a difference-maker."

McCarthy thought Matthews came out of the OK with groin injury.

McCarthy on if Capers' exp in NWE helps: Have talked, "but nothing I'm relying on to put together a game plan for Sunday."

MM on the 2010 game: Not worth watching too much of the film because of different personnel. (Flynn at QB for GB, obviously)

And that's all from McCarthy and the start of Patriots Week.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
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.

#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.

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?
Go PACK
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.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
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.
