McCarthy Praises Packers After Win Over Patriots: "This is the Most Consistent Team in My Years Here"

Yesterday's win over the Patriots wasn't perfect, but nonetheless, it improved the Packers' record to 9-3.

Mike McCarthy had this to say in response to that fact, courtesy of ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky.

"I think this is clearly our most consistent football team in my nine years here," McCarthy said. "Just from the fact that the way they prepare, you don't have a bunch of personalities that go up and down. It's a very focused, disciplined group." 

The victory was McCarthy's 97th as the head coach of the Packers, the third most in franchise history. Vince Lombardi is second on that list with 98, so it's very likely McCarthy will pass him by the end of the year. 

And really, he should, as the Packers remaining games take place against relatively-beatable opponents in the Falcons, Buccaneers, Bills and Lions. 

Packers Give McCarthy Multi-Year Extension

The Packers have signed Head Coach Mike McCarthy to a multi-year contract extension, the team's official website announced earlier today.

McCarthy, 50, has worked for the Packers since 2006, leading them to six playoff appearances (four division titles and two wild card berths) during that time.

Along with those accomplishments, obviously, is the win over the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, which surprisingly came after the team went just 10-6.

In total, McCarthy has 93 victories as the head of Green Bay, the third most in its history. Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi top that list with 212 and 98, respectively.

Packers HC McCarthy Could Get a Street Named After Him

Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy could soon get a Green Bay street named after him, Pro Football Talk reports.

According to a recent rumor, the street would be Potts Avenue, which intersects with Holmgren Way (named for Mike Holmgren) about a 1/2 mile southeast of Lambeau Field.

As of now, nothing is guaranteed in this situation, although it definitely appears that McCarthy eventually being immortalized in the team's hometown is likely, as the veteran is impressively entering his ninth season (tied with the great Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr for second most all-time) as the head of the club.
