I recall MM saying he divided the season into quarters, and the goal was to win each one.
Going by that, we're off to a good start.

These next two weeks will be stressful for the team. Travel time to/from London, rest/rehab, and preparation for the Jets. The only positive is playing at home vs the Jets.

Injuries (hopefully the lack of) will be critical, as well. It's still another 8 weeks until our bye after the Giants game.

I'd be happy to go 3-1 for the next 4 games.

Playing at Lambeau doesn't seem to mean much, to this team. We should have clobbered the Pats in regulation, instead of going to OT, to win. The first half of the Pats game had some fans booing the Packers. We have to make games played at Lambeau mean something, once again. Playing at Lambeau should be a huge advantage for the Packers. Especially so in the colder months.

I cannot believe I am typing this but I kind of see the Jets game as one that has potential to be the trap game.  Hard fought win against NE, travel to London, and then back home to face them. 

I hate to say it but I agree on the Lambeau crowd.  I grew up near GB and I didn't get the chance to see a game there until 3 years ago.  I was kind of blown away how quiet at times the crowd was.  And of course I am wanting to stand up and cheer in big spots and I got the "Sit down!" from some old fart.  For the record I stayed standing up cheering.

No trap games in the NFL. That shit is made up by fans… similar to the β€œNFL refs want the Packers to lose” garbage.

I’ve been to probably 30 to 40 games at Lambeau. Some are louder than others but the overall vibe I’ve always taken away is that Lambeau isn’t the home field advantage some think it is. Great venue and the mystique is ridiculous… but the crowd is pretty damn mild.

Can't remember which game it was but it was snowing and I hollered " It looks like a snow globe out there" . Next day a newspaper called it " The Snow globe Game " . Anyway the fans were extremely loud , the wave kept going around and round. Even heard someone talking to someone on the phone saying he had never heard the crowd so loud.  All we need to do is you guys get me trips & tickets to the games and I will make it happen !!

There have been "home field advantage" issues with Lambeau going all the way back to the 2011 playoffs vs NYG.  There were tons of Gints fans there, supposedly because fans were more interested in going to/paying for the NFCCG everyone thought they were going to be in.  As someone said, "hubris!". 

Two issues with Lambeau.  Lots of football tourists willing to buy available tickets - especially now that there is a whole entertainment complex built around it.  And fans just being spoiled by nearly 30 years of playoff games.  When the Packers were on their climb back to the top in the mid/late 90's, Lambeau was known as one of the loudest stadiums in the league.  Now the HC has to be a cheerleader on game day.

I was at the first home playoff game in decades (not counting the strike shortened season) in 1994.  Even at that game I was told "down in front" and "I'll call an usher".  I told the old fart "You call an usher!  If you want to sit down, sit down in front of your TV at home!  This is the playoffs!".  Some of these "fans" think they're at the ballet.
