Speaker 1: M Hi, everybody, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting next to my trusted colleague
Speaker 1: West hod Kowitz. Were coming to you here from our
Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field and West. First, I have to
Speaker 1: start by apologizing to our viewers and listeners out there
Speaker 1: because I did not give anyone a heads up that
Speaker 1: we were not going to have a Monday show after
Speaker 1: coming back from Los Angeles because our producer Marvin was
Speaker 1: traveling and not available to produce a show. So I
Speaker 1: apologize for not letting everyone know that in advance. But
Speaker 1: it is Tuesday. Here we are. We are back from
Speaker 1: l A to review the Packers loss to the l
Speaker 1: A Chargers to eleven. It was flat out, West aid dud.
Speaker 1: It was the worst performance by the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: in nineteen by quite a considerable margin, and this is
Speaker 1: one that the Packers clearly need to learn from, but
Speaker 1: also just flush it and move on exactly. I think
Speaker 1: that's the mentality you have to have. You have to
Speaker 1: focus on the Carolina Panthers. Panthers this Sunday, excuse me,
Speaker 1: with this game at Lambolefield and getting into the week
Speaker 1: eleven by as healthy as you can be. To rest
Speaker 1: up that being said originally from the beginning, I said,
Speaker 1: if if the Packers were to split, This is even
Speaker 1: when we weren't sure if Mahomes was gonna play, the
Speaker 1: Packers split Kansas City and they split at the l
Speaker 1: A Chargers. I think everyone would have been happy if
Speaker 1: this would have been a relatively you know, competitive game,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a high scoring affair, which I originally
Speaker 1: predicted it to be. You know, maybe even then people
Speaker 1: be happy. But let's be honest, Mike, when when you
Speaker 1: go into that type of environment, you have that sort
Speaker 1: of you know, fan interest behind you on in a
Speaker 1: road setting, you know, everything seemed to be set for
Speaker 1: the Packers to have a solid performance, and it just
Speaker 1: didn't come together. The fast starts we've talked about, it
Speaker 1: wasn't there. The strong finishes we talked about, it wasn't there.
Speaker 1: They got back into an issue with third and longs.
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur talked about it. You know, they basically weren't
Speaker 1: able to run their game plan. They were stuck in
Speaker 1: a two minute offense for most of this one and
Speaker 1: a week after getting the ball into Aaron Jones and
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams hands as much as they did against Kansas City,
Speaker 1: they just were unable to do that against the Chargers.
Speaker 1: And while the defense did keep the minute by keeping
Speaker 1: l A out of the end zone, it still was
Speaker 1: too many yards, too much production, not enough takeaways. And
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers finally got that elusive victory over the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Yeah, and and the Chargers as a franchise
Speaker 1: their first victory over the Packers and only their second victory.
Speaker 1: And I believe it's twelve games that the Packers and
Speaker 1: Chargers as franchises have met up. So, as you said,
Speaker 1: the defense kept the Packers in it. Initially they were
Speaker 1: giving up too many yards and still the big plays
Speaker 1: a problem. The Packers have got to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to fix this. They were just allowing field goals
Speaker 1: early on, and for everything that had gone wrong in
Speaker 1: the first half, it was only nine to nothing, Packers
Speaker 1: were getting the ball coming out a halftime. He just
Speaker 1: felt one spark was maybe all that was needed to
Speaker 1: get things going. One scoring drive would have changed at
Speaker 1: nine to nothing, would have changed the look of the
Speaker 1: game completely, and it just never happened for the Packers.
Speaker 1: And then as the second half war On, the special
Speaker 1: team started to make some mistakes with the block pon
Speaker 1: and the off sides on the field goal, and the
Speaker 1: defense was clearly wearing down because the offense was not
Speaker 1: able to sustain anything and give them any breaks and
Speaker 1: give them any opportunity to to get back in the game.
Speaker 1: Nobody was able to make that momentum turning that potential
Speaker 1: game changing play and UH as a result, the Packers
Speaker 1: really took one on the chin. We like to say
Speaker 1: in this game West that sometimes it's not who you play,
Speaker 1: it's when you play him. And I think we talked
Speaker 1: last week about how that missed field goal in Chicago
Speaker 1: that might have been the worst thing to happen to
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers heading into this game, because it
Speaker 1: gave the Chargers life. If the Chargers are two and
Speaker 1: six with them with Eddie Pinneo making that kick in Chicago,
Speaker 1: you just wonder if they come out with the life
Speaker 1: and the enthusiasm and everything that they had. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a week to week league, we know that,
Speaker 1: but but I talked all week about how the Chargers
Speaker 1: got a reprieve when Pinero missed that kick, and this
Speaker 1: to me, looked like a team that is ready to
Speaker 1: seize on that opportunity to get back to being the
Speaker 1: team they were last year, and the Packers simply weren't
Speaker 1: able to match whatever intensity and drive and dedication and
Speaker 1: everything that the Chargers had to make the most of
Speaker 1: their opportunity. Yeah, you said it perfectly, and and the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is right now there, you know,
Speaker 1: two games out from their division lade there, they're still
Speaker 1: on Kansas City's coattails and they're trying to make a run.
Speaker 1: Here the two things that I look at this matchup.
Speaker 1: I said it on frid Day when you and I
Speaker 1: did our Keys to victory in not only the show,
Speaker 1: but in final thoughts, and I even said, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep it even simpler than you kept it. I said,
Speaker 1: you need to pressure Philip Rivers and you need to
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Packers didn't pressure Philip Rivers enough
Speaker 1: and they didn't turn over the football. And there was
Speaker 1: someone who mentioned, well, why didn't they blitz more? And
Speaker 1: I pointed, and I had a feeling about this, But
Speaker 1: then I also pointed to UH pro Football Focus and
Speaker 1: one of the stats that they had going into this
Speaker 1: one are coming out of it was this season, Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers is a hundred and twenty passer rating against the
Speaker 1: Blitz's five passer rating against everything else, He's a hundred
Speaker 1: twenty pass rating against the Blitz. I don't want to
Speaker 1: draw any more parallels between him and Drew Brees, but
Speaker 1: in many ways they are very similar players. Breeze probably
Speaker 1: makes fewer mistakes, but they get the ball out quickly,
Speaker 1: they're decisive with it, and you know they hit their
Speaker 1: hot route. If you do send somebody, they get their
Speaker 1: hot read going. So I don't think that would have
Speaker 1: done anything. But the problem was is that with even strength,
Speaker 1: they didn't get on Philip Rivers enough, and there were
Speaker 1: just too many breakdowns and lapses in the secondary in
Speaker 1: terms of coverage and not being able to to wrap
Speaker 1: guys up when and have those explosive plays that the
Speaker 1: Packers were trying to avoid. And then, ultimately, the biggest
Speaker 1: shift I thought you saw with this particular Chargers team
Speaker 1: without Ken wizzen Hunt is they did there was more
Speaker 1: dedication towards running the ball. And we'll see if that
Speaker 1: continues on or if that was just a reaction to
Speaker 1: the Packers. But I was gonna say it is. It
Speaker 1: is easy to be stay dedicated to the running game
Speaker 1: when you're up nine to nothing, you're up twelve to enough,
Speaker 1: and you're up nineteen to nothing. I mean, so, yes,
Speaker 1: there there was dedication to that running game early on.
Speaker 1: But also the bottom line is early in the game,
Speaker 1: the Chargers were sustaining drives. They kept moving the chains,
Speaker 1: and the best way to allow yourself to be dedicated
Speaker 1: to a running game is to continue to be in
Speaker 1: first and ten and and when the Charges continued to
Speaker 1: move the chains and get into first down, they were
Speaker 1: doing exactly what they wanted to. And other than some
Speaker 1: of those stops in the red zone to four field goals,
Speaker 1: the Packers just couldn't get off the field. And then
Speaker 1: on the flip side, you know the offense wasn't able
Speaker 1: to get anything going to give that defensive break, and
Speaker 1: you know that this this game just started going downhill
Speaker 1: from the beginning, and and nobody was able to stop
Speaker 1: that snowball. No. And that was the frustrating part about
Speaker 1: it is because it's it's almost like it was sort
Speaker 1: of a mirage a little bit, like you thought you
Speaker 1: were right there and you just need to get that score.
Speaker 1: You need to get that long drive and you'd be
Speaker 1: right back in this ballgame, and it never appeared for
Speaker 1: the Packers. And then certainly the backbreaker was the block J. K.
Speaker 1: Scott field punt in the third quarter. That's where the
Speaker 1: Chargers finally end up scoring their first touchdown or that,
Speaker 1: and then the Packers get a stand late and the
Speaker 1: Charges end up scoring a touchdown after that in an
Speaker 1: offsides penalty. They just did enough good things and I
Speaker 1: gotta give Anthony Lynn a lot of credit. I mean,
Speaker 1: that team was there to play. They made a changed
Speaker 1: offensive play caller. It seemed like the guys responded to
Speaker 1: that well. But you know, the Packers were seven and
Speaker 1: one for a reason. I know they talked about being sluggish,
Speaker 1: they talked about tired. I think if the Packers are
Speaker 1: are playing to their capabilities, that's a team they beat.
Speaker 1: But as we've seen with the sixteen game regular season schedule, Mike,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be these episodes every once in a while
Speaker 1: where there's a letdown. The key for Green Bay here
Speaker 1: now facing the Panthers, and we'll preview them later this week,
Speaker 1: but they were on the road against an uncommon opponent.
Speaker 1: You lost by fifteen as much as that hurts, and
Speaker 1: then as many different areas that they need to shore
Speaker 1: up here to beat a very good and surging Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers team, you do have to getting back to your
Speaker 1: original point, sort of flush what happened, because you can't
Speaker 1: let it domino in pool going into that bye week.
Speaker 1: You need to come and get that victory against the
Speaker 1: Panthers and be eight and two going into the by Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that old adage that you can't let one game
Speaker 1: beat you twice, right, And that's kind of where the
Speaker 1: Packers are right now. I've been feeling for the last
Speaker 1: few weeks that the Packers on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, they need to get to the bye week.
Speaker 1: They need to they need to have the week off,
Speaker 1: just be able to take a breather, get off their
Speaker 1: feet eat. Now it feels like with what we saw
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Los Angeles, the whole team is kind
Speaker 1: of at that point. But you've got one more game.
Speaker 1: You've got to give everything you've got into this last
Speaker 1: game before the bye week, and and you know, if
Speaker 1: there's one thing maybe that comes out of not just
Speaker 1: getting beat and getting beat in the fashion that the
Speaker 1: Packers did is that nobody's going to be too focused
Speaker 1: on the bye week. The focus is going to be
Speaker 1: on the Carolina Panthers because they know they can. They
Speaker 1: can put everything they have into that game and then
Speaker 1: they get the long awaited rest. So it's something the
Speaker 1: Packers need to take advantage of. But you said it,
Speaker 1: the Panthers. The Panthers are in They were in a
Speaker 1: very similar situation a week ago. They went to San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Everybody was wearying. Okay, let's see how good the Panthers
Speaker 1: are and they got it handed to him by the
Speaker 1: forty niners. What what do they do? They regroup, They
Speaker 1: bounce back. Playing a pretty formidable Tennessee team at home
Speaker 1: this past weekend. They took care of in this. They
Speaker 1: got to win. They got themselves back on track. They're
Speaker 1: back in the conversation um for the NFC playoff picture.
Speaker 1: And that's the team that the Panthers are bringing to
Speaker 1: lambeau Field. Here. So a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: interesting circumstances to look at, but the bottom line is, yes,
Speaker 1: this Packers, Packers team needs the bye week, but they've
Speaker 1: got a huge challenge in front of him. I I
Speaker 1: call this this week against the Carolina Panthers so far
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen is the biggest challenge the Packers are
Speaker 1: going to face. Yea, and there are because of all
Speaker 1: the circumstances that are surrounding it right now. Absolutely. I
Speaker 1: mean the fact that you only have three more home
Speaker 1: games in your regular season schedule and you have the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners staring at you after that bye week. Uh.
Speaker 1: The one thing that was interesting about the Panthers I
Speaker 1: thought really speaks well to them is the fact that,
Speaker 1: you know, Kyle Allen has the worst game of his career,
Speaker 1: you know, after getting off to that fast start, being
Speaker 1: a good game manager, protecting the football. San Francisco obliterates that.
Speaker 1: But then he came back. I mean, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: I mean Christian McCaffrey, and again, well we'll preview this
Speaker 1: later in the week. He's the biggest playmaker. He's arguably
Speaker 1: the biggest playmak in the NFL right now. You have
Speaker 1: to get the ball in his hands. Alan succeeded at that,
Speaker 1: and they got the response that they wanted. The thing
Speaker 1: that actually strikes me I was, I was driving home
Speaker 1: after the game we we landed, I'm on Highway forty
Speaker 1: one going northbound, and I'm trying to kind of process
Speaker 1: everything that had happened, because I think there's been some
Speaker 1: guys that mentioned I mean, there's feeling that the Packers
Speaker 1: never even like not necessarily got off the bus. But
Speaker 1: you just had this like there's an indecisiveness or just
Speaker 1: there was felt like there was no resolution at all.
Speaker 1: I felt like they went out there and you know,
Speaker 1: they did the walk through and we never really played
Speaker 1: the game. And I'm processing this in my mind and
Speaker 1: I started kind of snicker to myself, like we made
Speaker 1: such a big deal out of you know, you have
Speaker 1: the Detroit coming off the by and Oakland coming off
Speaker 1: there by and in Kansas City off a mini buy,
Speaker 1: and then what's the team that ends up kind of
Speaker 1: knocking the Packers off the pedestal The Chargers, who I
Speaker 1: think have the last buy. I mean like they they're
Speaker 1: they're playing every game here too. Uh. And that's it
Speaker 1: shows you how this league works and the things that
Speaker 1: you think might make sense, they really don't. And I
Speaker 1: look at this matchup now with where the Packers are
Speaker 1: at the one positive, you know, and we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to see what Wednesday's practice looks like but that was
Speaker 1: one of the first games that I can remember, Mike
Speaker 1: that there wasn't even an injury designation. There wasn't anyone
Speaker 1: that was questionable or out or anything during the game.
Speaker 1: Nobody left with anything. Now that still can mean there
Speaker 1: can be some guys here, but there was nothing devastating.
Speaker 1: The Packers suffered. So while I believe a lot of it,
Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side, they're they're worn down a
Speaker 1: little bit. It looks like they're gonna have most, if
Speaker 1: not everyone available for this game against the Panthers. I
Speaker 1: wrote about an insider inbox today. You have to dig deep. Now,
Speaker 1: you have to put everything into this game and then
Speaker 1: after that have that one week sort of sabbatical, because
Speaker 1: as difficult as that was, and as tired as I
Speaker 1: know these guys are, you would be even more tired
Speaker 1: if you had a week four or five by and
Speaker 1: then you got to play eleven twelve opponents consecutively to
Speaker 1: finish the season. The Packers still are sitting in a
Speaker 1: good spot, but you've got to keep that lead in
Speaker 1: the division, especially after all three NFC North team's loss
Speaker 1: last weekend. And we'll get to that in a minute
Speaker 1: here West, but I don't want to forget about our
Speaker 1: sponsor business. Select Cousin Subs locations are now offering delivery.
Speaker 1: Whether you're ordering catering or your favorite sub, they're delivering
Speaker 1: right to you when you order online at Cousin Subs
Speaker 1: dot com. Cousin Subs we believe in better. Okay, So
Speaker 1: first I want to say Matt Lafleur did say on
Speaker 1: Monday that the Packers are going to examine everything that
Speaker 1: went into this West Coast road trip, because as we've mentioned,
Speaker 1: there's one coming up out to San Francisco after the
Speaker 1: bye week, so everything from the travel schedule to the
Speaker 1: walk through the day before the game too, the game plan,
Speaker 1: the play calling on both sides of all everything, they're
Speaker 1: gonna examine everything that went wrong with us. I think
Speaker 1: that's that if there's going to be a priority number
Speaker 1: one bye week project for the coaching staff and football administration,
Speaker 1: that might be it. But that being said, the focus
Speaker 1: now is on where the Packers stand and the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers coming in. And you can look at this. You
Speaker 1: can look at the loss to the Chargers one of
Speaker 1: two ways. Either it was the best week to lose
Speaker 1: a game because everybody else in the NFC North lost,
Speaker 1: or it was a huge missed opportunity because by the
Speaker 1: time the Packers game kicked off in l A, the
Speaker 1: Vikings had lost on a walk off field goal in
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the Bears had lost after another dismal offensive
Speaker 1: performance and hum and their fourth straight loss, I believe
Speaker 1: for Chicago and then Um. While the Packers were playing,
Speaker 1: the Lions also lost out on the West Coast in Oakland.
Speaker 1: So I missed opportunity for sure. The Packers could have
Speaker 1: given themselves a two game lead over Minnesota with seven
Speaker 1: games to play. That didn't happen. You're seven and two,
Speaker 1: the Vikings are six and three. The Bears and Lions
Speaker 1: now are both sub five hundreds. So as you said,
Speaker 1: the Packers are in a good spot. So now you
Speaker 1: just you go from here. I'm a bird in the
Speaker 1: hand kind of guy. You know that, probably better than anybody.
Speaker 1: I still always will look at it as nothing was gained,
Speaker 1: nothing was lost. I don't look at it as a
Speaker 1: missed opportunity because again, it's not like they were taking
Speaker 1: on San Francisco. It's not like they had all these
Speaker 1: implications to this game. You lost. You lost to a
Speaker 1: what team that you and I all week long last
Speaker 1: week we're saying was a good a f A team,
Speaker 1: even if their record didn't say it. And the rest
Speaker 1: of the division lost. Kansas City did what I think
Speaker 1: everyone thought Kansas City should do, especially if Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: would have played. And you know, Chicago is in a
Speaker 1: tail spin right now. And this schedule, I mean, it
Speaker 1: was funny. You're right, it was four consecutive losses. Look
Speaker 1: at the schedule coming up for Chicago to Lions, Rams, Giants,
Speaker 1: Lions again, Dallas, Green Bay, Kansas City in Minnesota to
Speaker 1: finish out the season. That is gonna be a tough
Speaker 1: stretch for Mattnegie's crew, um to me, and I'm not
Speaker 1: looking past anybody, because I think Detroit has showed you
Speaker 1: they can play with anybody. But this is about min
Speaker 1: of soda now. And you were watching the end of
Speaker 1: that game against Kansas City and how that all unfolded,
Speaker 1: considering how tight that was late, I think, because you
Speaker 1: can only live in one world, right, there's no butterfly
Speaker 1: effects here. The Packers loss in Minnesota, lost to a
Speaker 1: good Kansas City team that we saw a week ago.
Speaker 1: I just my vision, my vantage point of this is
Speaker 1: that you survived, you advanced, and now you gotta try
Speaker 1: to get another win here against Carolina. Yeah. Absolutely, I
Speaker 1: mean the picture, the picture in the NFC um continues
Speaker 1: to be very top heavy. The forty Niners are undefeated,
Speaker 1: the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL after the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots lost on Sunday Night football in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: The Saints, who were on the by this past week,
Speaker 1: they have one loss. The Seattle Seahawks. They were at
Speaker 1: home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team a lot
Speaker 1: of people thought, Okay, Russell Wilson will just, you know,
Speaker 1: tear these guys apart. And Russell Wilson did. He threw
Speaker 1: five touchdown passes, but it took overtime for the Seattle
Speaker 1: Seahawks to pull out that game. So the Seahawk still
Speaker 1: have two losses. The Packers have two losses, the Vikings
Speaker 1: have three, the Panthers have three. They're coming in to
Speaker 1: lambeau Field. This is uh um, It just it feels
Speaker 1: like this whole NFC race is just getting started. And
Speaker 1: this Packers Panthers game here is one that uh could
Speaker 1: definitely have some significant implications down the road in December
Speaker 1: when we start looking at the bigger picture as things
Speaker 1: get closer to UH to D Day. So you want
Speaker 1: to talk about a take care of business week, and
Speaker 1: and again we'll preview all these games on Friday, but
Speaker 1: this is the week where the Packers can gain ground.
Speaker 1: You have San Francisco that has to host Seattle in
Speaker 1: Sunday night foot or Monday night football. Excuse me, it
Speaker 1: might be the best Monday night football game in the
Speaker 1: last ten years, to be quite honest with you. UH
Speaker 1: Minnesota has to go to Dallas. So either way that's
Speaker 1: a division opponent or that's a team that could potentially
Speaker 1: be in the run for a wild card spot. Detroit
Speaker 1: and the Bears get to beat up on each other.
Speaker 1: This is I think that's one of the reason is
Speaker 1: why I see this as a game where the Packers
Speaker 1: really needed to do something because if you do get
Speaker 1: a win this week, there's gonna be teams that lost
Speaker 1: or potentially would have a tie that are just gonna
Speaker 1: mount just based on the attrition of these matchups. So
Speaker 1: it's going to be some shifting going on regardless. So
Speaker 1: not only would it be a win that could get
Speaker 1: you to eight and two. It's a win that pushes
Speaker 1: back a potential wild card threat in the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 1: a potential seating threat in the Panthers. So that that's
Speaker 1: one of the things that jumps off the page to me.
Speaker 1: I'm very curious though, you know, when you look at
Speaker 1: Minnesota in that game that they had against Kansas City,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say they threw their best shot
Speaker 1: at them, because, you know, Matt Moore, you're dealing with
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. There are certain adverse situations they were
Speaker 1: dealing with there. But Kansas City did what Kansas City does.
Speaker 1: They use their speed and they used opportune you know,
Speaker 1: plays like the Damian Williams run to make things happen
Speaker 1: for themselves. And that's why they're going to be in
Speaker 1: the thick of this thing. There's no unblemished team for
Speaker 1: the most part. San Francisco is gonna get tested on
Speaker 1: Monday night, New England. As we said all last week,
Speaker 1: that was going to be a matchup where okay, where
Speaker 1: are the Patriots right now? Lamar Jackson showed they're not infallible.
Speaker 1: So I just fans, and I saw my Twitter timeline,
Speaker 1: I saw my mentions anytime I tweeted something out during
Speaker 1: that game on Sunday, they're they're so like, it's funny,
Speaker 1: you can you can play this game for a hundred seasons, right,
Speaker 1: And everyone always believes that if you lose and you
Speaker 1: lose ugly, you're the worst team on Earth, and if
Speaker 1: you win and you win big, you're the best, greatest team.
Speaker 1: And it's mind boggling to me, right And I And
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I said in in the live
Speaker 1: blog during the game. I believe I did. And I
Speaker 1: said it again. I believe in insider inbox that I
Speaker 1: was writing on the plane flight coming back. You have
Speaker 1: to remember, in this league, you are never as good
Speaker 1: as your best game, and you are never as bad
Speaker 1: as your worst game. Everybody is somewhere in between and
Speaker 1: there every every team has at least one and a
Speaker 1: lot of times at least two just clunkers that they
Speaker 1: that that it happens. It happens to everybody in this league.
Speaker 1: And that's why the whole you know, it's not who
Speaker 1: you play, it's when you play them. Thing kind of
Speaker 1: comes in to play here too. I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of fans, a lot of the fans who were writing
Speaker 1: into Insider inbox and whatnot looking at it from the
Speaker 1: other side, saying, Okay, now the Packers are the wounded
Speaker 1: animal the Panthers. The Panthers are the team that you
Speaker 1: know that should have some trepidation here because they're coming
Speaker 1: into lambeau Field. The Packers are looking their wounds a
Speaker 1: little bit. And uh. And I think the fact that
Speaker 1: the Packers have the bye week coming up right after
Speaker 1: this one, I think can work to Green Bay's advantage
Speaker 1: here in the preparation for this, for this Panthers game,
Speaker 1: so we can talk about those kinds of circumstances, you know,
Speaker 1: all day long, all week long. I think this one
Speaker 1: on Sunday at Lambo is going to be a really,
Speaker 1: really good football game. No doubt in the good teams.
Speaker 1: How they become elite. As I wrote today in inbox
Speaker 1: is you have to bounce back from these. You have
Speaker 1: to get back on the horse. You have to start
Speaker 1: winning games again. Everyone loses. I'll close on this. Who
Speaker 1: were the Super Bowl champions last year? Mike? Would you
Speaker 1: be so kind as to inform you of that that
Speaker 1: game was the New England Patriots against the Los Angeles Ranks. Okay,
Speaker 1: and who prevailed the New England Patriots. Here's who the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots lost to last year during the regular season. Jacksonville, Detroit, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: They lost to Miami four to thirty three, and then
Speaker 1: they lost a good game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Everybody
Speaker 1: has those games. How you really truly separate yourself and
Speaker 1: prove that you can be a contending team is how
Speaker 1: you bounce back. The Green Bay Packers need to ensure
Speaker 1: themselves of a non losing season on Sunday with their
Speaker 1: eighth victory against the Carolina Panthers. That's the only way
Speaker 1: to do it, all right, And with that we will
Speaker 1: call it a rap on this edition of Packers Unscripted.
