"But personally, I think it was one of the most gratifying years, based on the things that we had happen to our team, the adversity we pushed through and the stresses that we had on us this year. And I'm very proud of the fact that I was able to play all 16 games and we kept it together and we didn't create any distractions."
More honesty in this article than we've heard from him at the podium or his locker the past 8+ weeks.
Get ready.....
We have 12 under center. That gives us a shot in any game.
"I think our guys are turning it on this week. And we're going to play better."
How GD nice of them to decide to do that in week 18.
I'm touched. 
Like everyone else I just have a bad attitude.
"Expectations"...they'll get you every time.
It's one of the main "funsucker's" in life, and just when I think I have it all figured out...they pull me back in.
Don't know exactly what he is saying, but I don't think you can just "turn it on" in the NFL.
I agree. In today's NFL, any team any given week (see the Rams vs. Seattle) but "turning it on" seldom works.
They're just trying to stay positive, etc and trying to believe that they can fix things, which is what you want from the players. Nothing more than that
it'd be amazing if the offense can turn it on like that. I'm highly skeptical, but receptive.
They've all been sandbagging since after San Diego. McCarthy will prove he's a master strategist and show he orchestrated all of this chaos just to have his team healthy and underrated going in to the playoffs. 
Maybe they were holding out until playoffs to unleash their secret weapons. Whoever they may be.
MM is just trying to avoid the polluted mindset and negativity and that's really about what I'd expect them to say. The offense is what it is (abysmal) and there won't be any magical transformation.
there's an unopened top secret manila folder at 1265 with only this on the outside: SSBOS : To be opened after Jan 3rd.

That was Rodgers saying that. That is the most he has really said about the offense in while. That is what makes the statement interesting. I really don't believe it, but I'm still on the bandwagon.

Uday and Qusay could not get it out of them......
Maybe they should have tried Pussay.
From what I've seen and read about Aaron is that he's not a real vocal type of leader that whoops and hollers a lot but rather gives the icy looks and holds grudges for a millennium. I think he was sincere in his comments about showing up "when it counts." He may be able to push himself harder but I don't see that having much effect on the rest of the offense with his subdued demeanor. There did seem to be some spark at the end of 3rd Q going into Q4. Too little too late for that game. However if they can carry that into Sunday, it could be something to build on.

The folder is dated October 1st and signed by Tom Clements.
#so****ed
Janis!
Hates the cold. They slog through the second half of the season, making sure they don't have to play in frigid Green Bay in the postseason as they unleash the pent-up demon beast that is Jeff Janis!

There has always been one and only one secret weapon, and that weapon is
TOM CRABTREE
This is the secret weapon. He's been playing rope a dope all season.

Henry's response was the correct one to my post of jest.
I hate to break it to everyone, but Janis ain't doing **** this year. I am actually sick of hearing about this dude. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
Troy posted:That was Rodgers saying that.
Yeah, I was really addressing MM's bluster at his presser yesterday and should have been a bit more clear.
I can't believe Henry watches BIG TIME RUSH
I'll just say...Adams wasn't any more open or covered in that playoff game vs. Dallas than he is this year.
The difference is our QB.

How can you doubt anyone that fast and that white?

Or the confidence our QB has in Adams.

Thank you for posting tit. These reporters are going round and round in circles though.
The idiocy on sports radio this week has been amazing.
Was just going to post TwinRig's link. Recommended reading.
“I’m a (sports) fan myself,” Rodgers said. “When I watch sports on TV — you make your own inferences and we try and figure out what’s going on. But ultimately, unless you talk to me or somebody asks me directly, they don’t really know what a certain look means or body-language expression, facial or body expression, unless you’re in my head or in his head.” Guess this kinda means "R E L A X part 2" huh?? Now go out there and kick some are. Please......
He directly address the need to keep his body language in check and to take more chances with the football. Really all that Packer nation has been asking of the guy for the last three months.
Let's see if he backs it up.
Pete's article is an encouraging read. I have no idea if it's essentially sunshine being blown up said ass but at least it sounded good.
“I trust Mike,” Rodgers said. “There are things the team expects me to do, and that’s prepare to be successful, to make the plays I’m accustomed to make on the field, and to make my teammates better. When it comes to big decisions like that, I have to trust Mike. I have to trust that he’s doing what’s in the best interest of the team at all times.”
McCarthy said that he provides Rodgers with his preliminary call sheet on Thursday each week so they can go over which plays each likes best and least. When there’s disagreement, McCarthy has final say.
McCarthy said it has to be that way because the play caller has to account for factors a quarterback doesn’t, such as his play-calling tendencies as well as those of the opposing defensive coordinator.
“I’d hope we’d have some disagreements,” McCarthy said. “… (But) I would say we’re on the same page. As long as I’m here the quarterback is the primary position, and everything we do is built around making the quarterback successful.”
I find it interesting that both AR and MM felt the need to sit down and do interviews to "quell" the fan base over their lack of communication. I wonder if they are following the twitterverse, X4, for how fans feel, if so that is CRAZY. Get ready and play the game.
MM and AR are both obviously very frustrated and I don't think the so-called conflict between the two is that big of a deal. As far as taking more chances is concerned, his whole career has been about being risk-averse and limiting turnovers and I'm not sure changing how you play can be changed easily but we'll see.
Could be Thompson was behind getting this in print.
Good for the fan base.
Good for media clowns... talk about something else.
Good for the players and coaches... no sidebar what if discussions from either side. No finger pointing.
Sunshine, or truly united front? We'll find out Sunday. This team seems to thrive when it's them against everyone.
