If you’re afraid to fail, you will. I sense no such fear from
this team, and I think it showed against Seattle. McCarthy has
done a great job instilling confidence, even in our young guys,
and I think our fast start can be attributed as much to that as
anything else.
Mike McCarthy possesses the unique blend of brashness and
humility.

Vic, so you’re telling me back in the old days teams like the
Steelers and Raiders never played against each other with
revenge on their minds? From how violent you make them seem, I
find that hard to believe.
It was never about revenge. It was always about hate. Those two
teams were born to hate each other. They still hate each other.
Have you ever seen one of them say something complimentary of
the other? That was the real thing; no hype. Pete Banaszak was
my radio partner in Jacksonville, and we’d get into
conversations about those games and he’d go after Swann as
though he was Atkinson or Tatum. I was down on the field late in
one game, and Phil Villapiano walked by on the way to the locker
room after injuring his knee, and he looked right at me and
yelled, “The Steelers are history!” I smiled; he snarled. I
hated to cover those games. They were disturbing. The crazy
thing is when those players were gone, so was the rivalry. It
wasn’t about the teams, it was about the men who played on those
teams. They just naturally hated each other.

I’ve noticed how you are a forgiving man who believes in second
chances, and you also don’t chortle when someone or some other
team struggles. Can you point to an event in your life that
opened your eyes to this attitude? Maybe it’s football related;
maybe it’s not.
The nuns probably did it to me. If they didn’t, football did.
Lombardi, Unitas, Layne, Ditka, etc. were my role models. They
were tough guys who carried themselves with dignity. You can’t
demand respect if you don’t afford it to others.

Who was the first player to celebrate in a way similar to how
they do today? Did it begin with the spike?
Yes, it was Homer Jones.

How cool would it be if the NFC North and homefield advantage
came down to the Vikings at Green Bay game on Jan. 3?
The way the Vikings are playing is no surprise to me. I saw this
coming late last season. Mike Zimmer is a good man and he’s an
outstanding coach. He has the Vikings playing great defense.
This is my rivalry. This is the one I like.

We better be careful, Vic. The Chiefs will obviously be coming
into Lambeau looking to get revenge for Super Bowl I.
The Chiefs will be coming into Lambeau Field knowing they have
what it takes to win against a great quarterback. They have a
powerful pass rush and running game. That’s the formula. Knock
him off the spot and keep him on the bench. So, everybody, let’s
get ready for some football, because I think we’re gonna really
see some tonight.

Vic, besides Clay Matthews and Mike Daniels, what two players on
defense stood out to you?
Sam Shields had a sensational game. After the season opener, my
inbox was filled with angst for the way Shields played, so I
think it’s important to note what Shields did last night: Led
the team with six tackles, made an interception that led
directly to a touchdown, and made a tackle for loss and a pass
defensed. Casey Hayward had a tackle for loss and a pass
defensed. Nick Perry had a sack, two tackles for loss, a hurry
and a forced fumble. Joe Thomas and Jayrone Elliott each had a
sack, a tackle for loss and a hurry. There’s nobody that didn’t
play well. With those gaudy stats, are we really going to focus
on garbage time? I’m getting angry. Congratulations, Coach
Capers, for having your guys ready to play.
<b>When Ron Wolf took over as GM the Packers had been losing.
Ron said the this team would become a winner and the day would
come when Packer fans would begin complaining after a victory
that they didn't win decisively enough or they didn't win the
way the fans wanted. It happened. So sad. I'll bet that it
will happen to the Bear fans one day. Human nature.</b>

Vic, are we seeing an offense that’s playing defense? Time of
possession seemed to be a big factor through most of this game.
The Packers had a seven-minute time of possession advantage, and
it helped keep the defense fresh. By the way, the defense held
the Chiefs to seven possessions of three plays or fewer through
three quarters of the game. In his postgame interview, Rodgers
said the Chiefs were loaded up to stop the run, which left man
coverage across the board, and the Packers receivers won their
one-on-ones. There’s your analysis of what happened. Imagine,
playing run against Rodgers. That’s what Eddie Lacy has done for
this team.
