as a member of the public ownership(shareholder),of the Green Bay Packers,i would never say,or do anything,to denigrate the NFL,or the Packers,but i will criticize them... this is a first person critique of the team:having steamrolled our way to Super Bowl XLV,winning the last six games,like we did,and then winning the first thirteen games of the 2011-2012 NFL season(nineteen straight games)actually gave us a sense of being invincible,and "just give the Lombardi to us" sense of entitlement,and a massive ego(me included,have to admit),but the bad,and disgusting,37-20 loss to the Giants actually was a wake up call to our team,for this season...
i would hate to play us this season,because we will have a big chip on our collective shoulders,and actually a sense of being humble,and yet determined,to get to Super Bowl XLVII(we may not get there),but we will be a better team,regardless of team record(who can improve a 15-1 record???)... we have said very little,in preparing for this upcoming season,in the press,except to say that we will be better,period,and the pundits have put a few teams(Detroit Lions,New York Giants,Philadelphia Eagles,New England Patriots,Baltimore Ravens,and the San Francisco 49ers)ahead of us in their talk about better teams than us... they even believe that the Lions may win the NFL North(if they are to be believed),and even a member of the Chicago Bears' defense(Brian Urlacher)says that the Bears will be better than us... let them all talk,because they will have to back up their boasts,and that will not be too easy... as for us,we know that the season is sixteen games long,having ups and downs throughout,but we will be ready,and just a little meaner in our approach,in preparing for the season,and being a very tough team to play,week in,and week out,and even win,or lose...
we want to just play football,shut up pundits,and opponents,and go for the Lombardi Trophy(our main goal),but we will be better,overall,and a very dangerous team to play... we will be determined to just play our best game,and remember the way we played against the Giants,the bitter taste of the loss,but honestly remember that we did not play our best(no way,did we play great),and feeling the extreme embarrassment of doing that,period... we will be better,regardless of record,so let's play football...
