Is there a feud between Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy? They say no, but acknowledge that there has been more conflict this year than in the past.
While the Green Bay Packers continue to prepare for the Wild Card game in Washington, the two most prominent members of the organization held interviews to discuss one of the most highly-discussed topics of the past few weeks.

But perhaps the biggest and most revealing comment of any from those two men is an admission from Rodgers that he needs to use a different strategy and attitude this week if the Packers expect to win.

Speaking of the defense, covering Washington's tight end will likely be the toughest matchup they face all game long, especially given the struggles they have had with players at that position.

They are allowing the third-lowest sack rate in the NFL, and though the running game has been inconsistent, it has done just enough to keep opposing front sevens off balance.

If you were hoping to see the Packers on the HBO show next season, keep dreaming - by virtue of making the playoffs, they are excluded from being on the list of possible teams. Theoretically, they could still be on the show if they volunteer, but we all know there's no chance of that happening.
