As Nonstopdrivel mentioned, I don't get why people can NOT be upset about a slow start.

Doesn't matter who wins the battles (at least as long as everyone says safe)... it does matter who wins the war.

Packers win = Packers fans happy...

Packers fans upset about Packers win = questions... like why?

why?

No one is angry when the Packers are outplayed by an equal or superior opponent. It is the way the Packers unnecessarily shoot themselves in the foot that is so maddening.

Well, we beat the Saints and the Saints blew out da Bears. Hopefully we blow out da Bears.

Cutler got sacked 6 times today. I think heavy pressure on Cutler is the key to blowing out da Bears.

I am thinking, "Man, I hope we come back and win this game." And if they do, then we escape with a win. And if we don't, then hopefully we win next week. In one game we might underachieve in Atlanta and lose a close game. Thankfully, we might also blow them the hell out in the playoffs.

If the basic idea is that consistency breeds success, then I'm totally on board.

If they are playing inconsistently against a team they should beat, how can we be confident they will have what it takes to beat a more challenging opponent? Chances are, they will continue to play inconsistently and will continue shooting themselves in the foot with silly mistakes.

Last year Packers played UP to their opponent and DOWN to their opponent. That's the specter.
