[Pacopete4]

[Patler]

Not to kill the discussion, but what is a "shiz nit" ????

Definition #2 made me laugh...

I thought it sounded a bit Yiddish to me, so I accessed a Yiddish dictionary:

"Shiz" - non-Jewish girl; maiden
"nit" - not, or none

So that would be a non-non-Jewish girl, so a Gentile.

No, it's a non-gentile (double negative) so it must be a Muslim or girl of another religion?

I'm not sure this season is that important. It's not like he'll get canned if they have a bad season. He'll get time to prove his worth. I've liked him since his first training camp--after watching it on the the NFL Network. A lot of good coaches have not been successful though. Some times things just don't work out (e.g. what if Aaron Rodgers is that solution at QB?). I think Coach Mac has what it takes to be successful.

That whole argument about not practicing in the cold is an absloute crock!. THey never went outside before beating Oakland. THey never went outside before beating Detroit. They weren't outside before beatnig Seattle. All it is is a convnient excuse for people to explain the loss.
A past example. Mike Holmgren didn't hold practice outside before the NFC title game against Carolina did he?

The "cold" games that the Packers played well weren't very cold. 20-30 degrees with little or no wind is good football weather.

The Packers didn't move the ball well offensively or play particularly well on D both times the windchill dipped down into negative digits. That's the kind of cold that impacted them more than it impacted the Bears and Giants.

Perhaps it was the kind of offensive and defensive game the Packers like to play relative to the Bears and Giants, but I don't think so. I know for a fact that the Giants practiced outside and got acclimated to working in that kind of brutal weather before the NFC Championship game.

The footballs in the freezer gag isn't quite the same as -25 windchill slapping you in the face...

The Giants game we were outcoached. Given we lost by 3 in OT after being dominated how we were, it was more of a testament to the players that we stayed that close with the bad game plan.

Chicago was fluke game where our special teams were absolutely horrible and the primary reason we lost that game. Add in that MM really didn't prep well either.

Patler, how is it different when teams are "gunning" for the Packers? This is the NFL. Every team is "gunning" for every other team every week. If they're not, they're going to get beat that week.

I've seen enough of McCarthy to know that he does not concern himself with any external "pressure." He is absolutely committed to his his vision and what he's learned about how to achieve it. He will not change his commitment to winning, nor his general approach to achieving it. Sure he'll continue to learn about and adjust game tactics as the team experiences success and failure, but the "pressure" he applies to his own daily life far exceeds that which he'll ever feel from external sources, regardless of how much success or failure the team experiences.
