#Packers CB coach Joe Whitt Jr. speaking to @BobMcGinn about Charles Woodson: " He's going to have his best year. Put that down."

Time to fap.

Thompson:

"There's a reason why there are not a whole lot of repeats in this thing," he said. "It was an unbelievably difficult road we had to travel last year, and quite frankly, if a couple of other games that didn't have anything to do with us turned out a different way, we wouldn't have even been in the playoffs.

"It's easy this time of year to say this team is going to be whatever, 14-2, and blah, blah, blah. I think it's a bunch of hooey."

Vermeil:

"I think Green Bay is going to have to screw it up not to go back (to the Super Bowl)," Vermeil said. "It's what they're capable of. That's all right if it's pressure. That's what you get paid to do."

Rodgers:

"More than anything, I worry about our mental state," he said. "I hope we approach every week with that mindset we had in the last six weeks (of 2010). Our preparation was different, the practice performance was different, and our game performance was different. We had an urgency about us.

"It's hard for guys to do that every week, but you have to find whatever that was and get that back. I just worry it's going to take some sort of bad loss or major issue coming up during the game that's going to have to click a light on. I hope we're self-motivated enough and strong enough mentally and just better professionals than that. But you've got to be realistic at the same time, too."

Awesome:

But in the team meeting room, next to the photos of 13 Packers championship squads, hangs an empty picture frame. It's reserved for the 2011 Super Bowl championship picture. Maybe it's presumptuous. Maybe it's what dynasties do.

I know MM did the empty frame thing last season, is he doing it again this year?

I expect us to have a better record than last year but I won't get upset when we do lose. We were 8-6 at one point last year and it turned out pretty good Thank you D. Jackson.

I'll be pissed at So'oto if he **** up his back fairly badly by lifting too much weight.
