    What's the Packers' Mood?

    I'm really curious about this, especially from you good people who live in Wisconsin. When the Packers were preparing for the Seattle game, the reports seemed to indicate that the practices were some of the best of the year. Things seemed lively and from what I could tell from this distance, the mood seemed upbeat and all business amongst the players.

    Now I don't have any sense of the mood amongst the players and coaches. I read earlier this week that Colledge got yelled at pretty bad in practice, then I see an article today where he's discounting himself - talking about possibly needing help inside with Tuck - and that scares me. After all, Tauscher said last week, about Kearney, that as soon as an o-lineman starts thinking he needs help, he's already lost.

    I'm getting worried as the game gets closer. So can anybody tell me what the mood is this week compared to last?

    They've had a good week of practice; been freezing balls to get them ready to catch balls in cold cold weather.

    Colledge is incredibly inconsistent. If you recall his stints he seems to respond well to getting benched but about the time he feels secure he breaks down.

    If GB loses tomorrow my gut tells me we'll be pointing to the OG play and turnovers.

    But I don't think GB will lose.

    We are the better team

      According to yesterday's press conferences (which should be posted by now if you wanna watch them), the team is feeling good, trying not to get too worked up so it doesn't sap all their energy, they're focused they practiced well particularly Thursday according to the coach and Al Harris didn't even slam anyone in the media room...Coach says they're ready.

        I don't know how many poeple watch every press conference, but I do watch ever one and have since the beginning of the year. Honestly, they're a little excited for the oppertunity, but they're pretty much they same as they've been all year. Football seems really important to these guys. They were amped to start the season. They were amped to better their record each week and now their amped to continue playing into the superbowl.


        They seem like a great group of guys, always having fun, but always working hard. Pretty much same thing they've done all year. Brett is relaxing a little more now. All season he had an urgency and fear that things would crumble. Now he doesn't do that. He knows thier good. That said, when MM, or the players talk about Brett's leadership they always talk about his work ethic. Apparently Brett is one of the hardest workers in that lockerroom. MM has said a few times that Brett stays late to watch tape. The feeling I get is that Brett wants to play loose and have fun so he's trying to just work hard and leave it on the field but at the same time he's preparing very hard wants to be ready on Sunday.

        Overall, I get the impression that this team is ready to play. They know what happened in Chicago and they do not want to repeat it. They are talking about just focusing on each play, each responsibility and putting the game ahead of their comfort for 60 minutes. They are bound and determined not to lose because of the cold. I've heard a couple guys say, when this game is over, we're not going to have lost because it is cold. We're giving everythign we have to every play. .



        Same general focus they've had all year, but these are some of the things that I've heard. I get the impression that this team is VERY ready. I also think our OT's matching up on their best players really favors us. MOst teams have trouble with Umeniora and Strahan. I think we match up well against this team so they're ready and I think they're able. I'm predicting a double digit victory.

          Thanks for the responses. I did watch a couple of the clips, and from what I can gather they sound pretty confident in a low-key way. Also, thanks JH for the season-long perspective.

          Go Pack!

            Colledge has had a couple of good games in a row. He's played against Shaun Rogers/Cory Redding and Rocky Bernard, so he hasn't been going against complete stiffs. Hopefully, it will continue.

              Bedard told a story in the JSOnline blog where an unamed player was in the shower loudly belting out an American Idol tune (My Brother? whatever song was a You Tube hit that the singer had wrote himself) and had everyone laughing. His comment was the team was clearly loose.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  When Ryan Pickett was made available for media questions, he was introduced by his "press agent".....KGB. I heard it was pretty funny, with KGB outlining the ground rules under which Pickett would answer questions!

                    That's a sign of a loose, confident locker room. Having fun.

                      They seem to like eachother. That helps.

                        I did see Pickett's presser and I was impressed by his perspective and attitude toward the upcoming game and just being a Packer in general. Of all the press conferences this week, I think I enjoyed listening to him the most. He's just a big guy with such a respect for his teammates, the game and his lot in life.

                            Did you hear the intro by KGB? I'm not sure if it was right before it, or just something KGB came in and did. I heard a couple reporters talking about it, who thought it was quite funny.

                              TT seems to be actively collecting a lot of those types, and keeping the ones who were already here.
