Every week during the regular season, the opposing head coach and sometimes a player speak to the Detroit media via conference call. This week it was only Packers head coach Mike McCarthy on the call.
So, what did McCarthy have to say about Sunday’s matchup in Detroit both on the conference call and to Green Bay’s media on Wednesday?
1. “I don’t like it.” That was the response given by McCarthy, when asked how different it’s been in Green Bay the last couple weeks knowing they had nothing to play for beyond Week 17. It’s the first time the Packers have missed the playoffs in nine years.
