[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 130675, member: 195"] In the regular season, motivation is a powerful factor because the talent is so close to being equal. Teams that have already sewn up playoff position do not play with the same kind of intensity as teams that have something to play for, or even teams that have already been eliminated. The players know that they will be judged on their postseason performance, not on their performance in a meaningless game. The Jack Lambert quote is nice, I guess, but he was always good for quotes that sounded nice but didn't really mean anything. Lambert was a very intense player, and I can believe that he didn't need to be "pumped up" for a game, but most players are not like Jack Lambert. Here's another news flash: Most players don't play as hard in the preseason as they do in the regular season. It's true. Believe it or not. Anyway, I think this article by Rick Braun is a pretty good overview of the team's situation. He omits a lot of details, though, and the Packer Forum doesn't like writers who omit details. That's one of the things I like about this forum. I can read a good article, and then get a lot of extra substance just from reading the responses to it. [/QUOTE]
