The Packers are playing a different game than the other 31 teams in the league. PERIOD.

Everything seems so routine and so easy. No one breaks a sweat, they just go about their business. They make it look easy.

And no one throws a back shoulder pass better than Rodgers.

Does anyone notice that when the Packers make a routine play - - say stopping a runner for a 3 yard gain or catching a 5 yard out pattern to the sidelines - - they do not start posing on the field or start jawing at the opponent?

Moral: If you really are a good team, the only things you need to celebrate are the outstanding plays because there are so many "merely good plays" in a game that they become no big deal...

I really think we lack a bit leadership and discipline from the coaching staff. Now, I don't think our issues are T.O./Chad Ochocinco/R. Moss/Insert-Trouble-Player-Here type of situation, but...if we brag so much about how Shanahan is changing the culture of this team, why do these little things keep happening?

Why doesn't MS and Haslett tell D. Hall to shut the hell up and play with a cool head? Why don't they tell Laron Landry to stop flexing and celebrating after tackling a guy that just converted for a 1st down? Have they gotten in T. Williams' face about the fact that in two games he has caused game-changing personal foul penalties (although they did bench him in the second game)?

As I've said, I don't think these guys are locker room troublemakers such as Haynesworth, but I would think that the coaching staff would nip these things in the bud.

Nobody on the Packers would ever do that...

I believe you're talking about steroids. HGH, by itself, will not turn a 120 lb dude into a ripped 200 lber with huge ass muscles.

Matthews only does that after a sack.... Not a routine play ... For instance Landry will shit talk after he tackles a running back that just run for a 35 yard gain.
