The fans in Green Bay loudly booed during the Packers’ 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night at Lambeau Field. Packers tight end Tucker Kraft did not appreciate that.
“That’s pretty tough,” Kraft said of the booing. “Everyone pictures Lambeau Field and not boos. I don’t picture boos when I picture my home stadium. That’s tough. It’s pretty disappointing. Especially for a home opener. It’s pretty disappointing. It’s not gonna help us win. I don’t know what people think, that’s gonna rally us or something like that. But we’re grown men. We’re mentally strong enough, capable enough to get back on the field and play ball. But it’d be much easier with the 70,000 people behind us rather than opposing us.”
Kraft, who caught four passes for 26 yards, admitted that he didn’t play to his own standards, and that the Packers need to play better than they have during their 1-2 start.
“Long season, we’re three games in, we’ve dropped two to NFC opponents, though,” Kraft said.
Kraft said the Packers can’t listen to boos, cheers or anything else.
“We can’t let external noise divide us,” Kraft said. “Us guys in this locker room, we’re really all we’ve got. We spend a lot of time together, so just continue to stay close and build off each other.”
