I really dislike the favorite talk

[Moab]

There is something about being the favorite that I really don't like. I've seen complacency too many times, I've seen too many other fans posting how great the Packers are. Now they're the odds on favorite in Vegas, and I dislike that also.

I'd prefer they were chasing instead of being chased. I like it better when they have their backs against the wall and have to fight to get into the playoffs.

I guess this week and next will tell if the Packers really are a mature team and know how to handle the current success. I hope they are and can, and I really would like them to show the same hunger and fire of the last 5 games. They really need to continue to get better by the week and shore up their weaknesses and improve on their strengths.

The big are I'd like to see improvement in is the run D. I'm guessing they're going to be tested every week with other teams running games and they'll need to improve that area. I'm really surprised the Patriots didn't test them with an extra O-lineman and try to pound the rock on them. I do expect other teams to try that and they will need to continue to improve that area...especially if they make the playoffs, which I expect they will, but you never know.

Amen... Remember 2011.. I sure as shit do. Much prefer the underdog perception, as in 2010..

Prefer Packers have #1 seed at end of year and being chased... not sure with this defense they can go on road and win 3 games like 2010.

One other thing...the Packers have not won in Buffalo...

I think this team is well equipped to handle the hype unlike the 2011 team. Our leaders are much more established in their respective roles and I believe they can handle it! I think home field is very important for us

Really? You'd all be more comfortable if we were sitting at 7-5? Or there were a couple of 11-1 or 10-2 teams?

The drivers seat is a wonderful place to be. I really don't think 2011 had anything to do with complacency. We ran into a buzzsaw and a team we didn't match up with very well.

Always a first for everything. They have the team this year to do it.

Yes we need that 1 seed. No one can contain us on the Frozen Tundra.

We got two wins last night. The W and a dose of humility to help them refocus!
