He just spouted "run the table" and we ran the table. He said, "Relax", and things were just fine. Why nothing for the playoffs?
My take? He's smart.
During the relax thing he could look at the schedule and see a bunch of cupcakes coming so he knew saying relax wasn't really putting himself out there very much. Same song and dance with "run the table". He saw the soft schedule and Seattle at Lambeau and knew they could easily win 6 in a row.
Now, he just says, "It's win or go home". Yup...smart, again. Is no sense guaranteeing anything because he lacks the confidence knowing the cupcakes following "relax" and "run the table" aren't coming up for the Pack.
Does his lack of wordy confidence concern you? I know... he made no bold prediction in 2010 but I think that's because he didn't have confidence that the Lombardi would be hoisted, so, perhaps, his lack of bravado is no big deal. It's just interesting that he had an opportunity to up the ante and uttered a simple refrain that applies to all teams this time of year.
Ultimately, I think Aaron knows he won't have the success vs. the D's he might face he did vs. the cupcakes he just played and he also knows our D is going to get lit up putting immense pressure on him to play perfect which has never been good for him. When he presses he plays poorly so I wouldn't rule out seeing what we saw the last time we saw the Giants at Lambeau in the playoffs.
