My point is there are teams out their like the Patriots who are in similar situations who have statistically better teams who aren’t getting the same results and are losing to mediocre or worse teams.

I don’t think anybody has really buried their head in the sand regarding the Packers deficiencies but I do think there are times where it is overblown.

The offense has not been impressive, but they don’t usually turn the ball over, have a decent run game that can be explosive at times and a really good red zone offense - all things that I feel are essential to helping you win in the post season

Likewise with the D, they may give up some yards but they are top 10 in scoring D and the Smith Brothers can cause havoc in the backfield... again positives in winning in the post season.

Last, the return game was awful for most of the year correct and I’d say the punting has been pretty mediocre since the first Bears game... but Crosby has been pretty much automatic this year and that is a big part of special teams.

But your last point is spot on. It is about getting this opportunity and going on a run. Let’s see if we can do it.
