For the past 12 years, win or lose, only 1 NFC team has come back to the Superbowl reguardless of win or lose. Can the Packers return to the big game? Well I figured we could go over the teams that went for the past 10 years. What got them there and what prevented them from going back. Lets get started.
2000-01 New York Giants
What got them there? Well they had a pretty balanced team. Stars included Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan. Kerry Collins was the QB that year. He threw 22 TDs to 13 INTs.
What happened in the SB? The Ravens, one of the best defenses of all time, destroyed them. Both defenses played well in the 1st half but the Ravens played better and won 34-7. Ray Lewis was MVP.
What prevented them from getting back?
A couple things really. Kerry Collins wasnt the franchise type QB. His QB rating dropped 6 points the next year and this team wasnt really built to last long term. Strahan was a staple on defense but was really the only star player that was on the team in 07 when they went back to the SB.
