You can point to that. You can point to the fact that we weren't able to run or get the ball to Steve Smith. That's a recipe for disaster for this football team. We need to run the football effectively, and that helps get Steve open. It's like we can't do one unless we do the other, unfortunately.

I'll tell you what, this was probably the longest week of my career.

They did a heck of a job getting off the ball on us. They were beating us off the line. When you do that and you have speed rushers coming off the line, you really don't have much of a chance. We have one-on-one battles we have win and we also have to put ourselves in situations were they can't pin their ears back.

It's just discipline and some of the things we talked about at the beginning of the year. But I really wish you wouldn't have brought it up because we don't like to talk about it too much. You know, I don't want to jinx us.

They play that Tampa-2 that's not really Cover-2, where they bring safeties down.

They proved that today. They beat us soundly. We were never in a position to take that football game.

There's a lot of guys in this locker room who haven't won the whole thing before, me being one of them. I know how rare these opportunities are and you really have to take advantage of them. Jordan Gross , on the other hand, he thinks it's a damn walk in the park. It's his second one in three years. He thinks there's nothing to it.

You're never safe - No. 4 can do some amazing things back there. I've seen him do it many times.

Actually, this place has been great. Lambeau is not that loud, this place is louder.

The thing about Brett is he is such a talent and such a competitor that he is going to do everything within the framework of an offense -- and sometimes out of it -- to win a game, especially on a Monday night. I can't remember the last time he had a bad Monday night game. You are going to have to force him to have a bad game in the national spotlight.
