So the Green Bay Packers got their asses handed to them by the Denver Broncos last week. Have you heard?
Right.
You have. So has everyone else.
The theme around Green Bay, at least with the assclowns who cover the team, is a focus on what’s wrong with the Packers and just how they got dominated by the Broncos.
We’ve tired of that narrative and so has Mike McCarthy.
“It’s just a matter of getting back to your identity, playing faster. This is how it goes, that’s part of the challenge. We’re focused on Carolina. You guys are doing a good job trying to distract our players from the Carolina game talking about Denver,” McCarthy told reporters today at his presser.
So, enough already.
There’s nothing to do about Denver. The Packers have another formidable opponent this weekend in the 7-0 Carolina Panthers.
What’s more, this game actually means something.
Sunday’s winner will have the coveted head-to-head win advantage under their belt for playoff seeding.
That essentially gives the victor a two-game lead over the loser.
If the Packers were going to shit the bed, doing so against an AFC team was the time. If they shit it again against Carolina, then we’ve got some real problems.
