[QUOTE="weeds, post: 421143, member: 39"] 15-1 is an astounding achievement. A record that I never imagined would or could happen as I sat in Lambeau game after game in the 70's and 80's and it IS a nice thing. I'm kind of hardwired differently though and I apologize if it comes off as negativity, that's not the case at all. Fact is that 12-4, 13-3 or 15-1 ... the job isn't done yet. How many here have gone through 3/4 of a business year putting up superior numbers and feeling pretty good about yourself and your staff and the achievements accomplished only to have ONE LOUSY FLIPPIN' deal go t*ts-up in December making a super year look pedestrian?? I have and it tends to make one a little more cautious in their exuberance... as I say, I'm hardwired a little differently. As the Pack enters THE SECOND SEASON, 15-1 doesn't matter anymore. The first and the sixth seeds are the same in my book and frankly, looking back on the season or the games that the Pack played and won against certain teams has NO bearing on how any particular game's outcome will play out. So... in my slightly warped mind, saying the Packers should beat the Giants, the Falcons or the Saints is roughly the same as skating on last year's ice. Should the Pack beat all of those teams again? Yes, because they go into every game thinking they should. Problem lays on the flip side of that coin ... the Giants, Falcons and Saints all feel as though THEY should have won but for some 'intangible' that precluded their winning. Self-inflicted or not...they feel they should have won...and frankly [I]COULD[/I] have won. None of those Packer wins were what I'd call a statement of dominance. As I said, 15-1 is astounding and I was happy for all of us for a few days after the Detroit win. I will turn handsprings and crap nickels (someone get the coin roller ready) at 18-1. In the mean time, I'm takin' 'em as they come. Just like last year when I was probably here posting that the Pack's defensive record last year had me nervous ... I really didn't see a Super Bowl winning defense last year...despite the ratings/rankings/stats/fantalk..... so... You know by the last paragraph that my opinion isn't worth a bucket of warm spit. Go Pack... [/QUOTE]
