GREEN BAY – It was not a happy Monday at 1265 Lombardi Ave.
A little more than 12 hours after their return from getting handed their first loss of the season in convincing fashion, 38-10 at Tampa Bay, the Packers were predictably still in a sour mood.
"I mean, we're (ticked) off, like we just got hit in the (bleeping) mouth, to be honest with you," right tackle Billy Turner said. "It is what it is, man. You know what, it's football.
"You're not always going to go out there and win every game, but how you respond to that loss says everything about your football team."
The consensus seems to be the drubbing might not have been the worst thing in the world after a smooth-sailing 4-0 start. It will have been worth it if the Packers make it count for more in the long run.
Both Head Coach Matt LaFleur and defensive tackle Kenny Clark noted going "back to the drawing board" and being "critical" in the evaluation of everyone's preparation and play. Turner added, "I think adversity breeds success."
Apparently, the team's practices coming out of the bye week were sloppy, littered with poor execution. That showed up in their physical play.
Mentally, there was a shell-shockedness after back-to-back interceptions gave the Buccaneers 14 points and wiped out an early 10-0 lead. The team's psyche never recovered.
