GREEN BAY – It's a fine line all NFL teams walk at some point, and the Packers are walking it now.
With games in this league a week apart, there's a danger in a blowout loss like Green Bay's from Sunday looming too long. Then again, it can't just be dismissed as though it never happened, because then lessons won't be learned.
"Still have it in our memory, but we can't dwell on it" was how second-year linebacker Krys Barnes on Tuesday described the Packers' approach to the coming week.
He talked about the extensive amount of time over the past couple of days spent reviewing the film of the 38-3 loss to the Saints, pointing out mistakes and processing how to fix them moving forward. The past and the future must coexist to make a full, successful recovery.
That doesn't really change after the players' off day Wednesday, and when the new practice week begins Thursday for next Monday's game with the Lions. But each's prominence in the mind does. What comes next mentally jumps in front of what just happened.
"The minute we dwell on it, it could mess us up in the long run," Barnes said. "I'm excited to see what this team does. We have a great spirit. We came in today ready to work. Guys were motivated to keep going.
"This one doesn't define us. It's all about how we bounce back."
