5-0 and under the radar

[MJZiggy]

Oh I agree I dont WANT to be on the Radar!

Just seems weird to me that we are not garnering more attention. I guess if you really think about it though its not that interesting. We dont sign UFA to huge contracts, build in a slow methodical way like a glacier coming at you

What I find weird, and frankly a little annoying is that Rodgers has the best-selling jersey in the NFL and still you don't see Packer gear around here. I can't stomach that I see more Cowboy crap than Packer gear in stores.

I'll tell you guys... I listen to a lot of sports talk running appointments and it seems like I'm always hearing about the Packers and how good they are. Obviously being in Atlanta, the local talking heads here who are being a little tough on the Falcons are always referencing the Pack as the barometer. I don't ever remember this much unanimous opinion regarding the Packers being the best team in the league. Obviously 96/97 were great years but there was always an argument from another fanbase or pundit.

The story really isn't the Packers. We expected this, just figured a slower offensive start. Under the radar means we're not visible and sneaking past enemy defense... obviously we aren't surprising anyone.

The entire country really does know we're fucking awesome.

It is weird, the Packers are mentioned in a lot of stories about other teams as examples of what the other team needs to do. Probably especially true about A-Rod and, lately, the Ted Thompson-Mike McCarthy pertnership. The stories are about other teams or non-Packer players but it's Packer s who are held up as the standard to shhot for. It reminds me, dare I say it, of the status Green Bay had during the Lombardi years.

Exactly. Hearing/seeing that everywhere.

This made me think that the real reason is likely that there simply isn't a story in Green Bay. Like free agency in Green Bay, there just isn't anything to write home about.

Pretty much every talking head out there has Green Bay at the top of the power rankings. I wouldn't say we're flying under the radar. Detroit might be the hot topic of conversation, but I doubt anyone outside of the state of Michigan honestly believes that the Lions are a better football team than the Packers. The Lions could finish 14-2 this year but they'd still end up playing on the road as a wild card in Janurary. That's the story behind the story being told.

[VegasPackFan]

We lack drama. I'm good with that. Nobody doubts how great we are right now, there just aren't any juicy stories. And that is part of the GB mystique.

[sheepshead]

The packers are the best team in football right now, that's all I know. I think you guys watch too much TV.

[CaliforniaCheez]

If John Wayne shoots all the bad guys and Indians in the first 15 minutes; it is not a very good movie. It lacks the drama and conflict.

Right now the drama and close games are elsewhere. Right now every team gets discussed.

Over the next month one third will no longer be discussed. By December only half the league matters. Then only those remaining in the playoffs.

Eventually, there will be some underdog team portrayed as daring for making it a close game with the Packers. The media knows they have the Packers story for later and don't want to burn it out.

Like the John Wayne movie, the bit characters are now setting up the drama, the big show down shootout comes at the end.

Packers seem to be the measuring stick for success with the media.
Now Money Crosby........he's flying under the radar

My take away from this is we should shoot the other team in the first quarter to ensure victory. Not entirley legal, but I like you style calicheeze.

[Upnorth]

If det looses to an up and coming 49'ers today (which I kind of doubt will happen) we will have all the attention we would want and then way more as well.

[Tony Oday]

Not 1 story on ESPN about our 6-0 Packers...damn I love flying under the radar or so damn high above it that nobody can see us!
