[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 415800, member: 2232"] Right, that illustrates just how irrelevant that gaining the #1 seed is. Remember the 2007 season in which the Packers and Cowboys were both 10-1, met in Dallas, Farve sucked, knicked his elbow up, younr Aaron came in with us in a 27-10 hole, and almost dug us all the way out? That game gave the Cowboys the #1 seed and us the #2 seed. We were both clearly the top 2 teams in the NFC pretty much from Sept til January when the playoffs began. During that season, the Cows had spanked the Giants two times, and we crushed them once too, in New York. When the playoffs came, the Giants went to Tampa, won. Went to #1 Dallas. Won. Went to frozen Green Bay. Won. I'm just trying to caution people that with the way we played on the road last year in the playoffs, and the way we've not protected home field in the playoffs the past 4 or 5 games, and the way our offense is built around a high octane, precison passing strategy, with a lot of receivers who drop balls, playing in ice cold weather is not going to help our composition. We are not a physical team on either side of the ball. We don't have a strong mindset to run, and we don't stop the run well. Pray that the middle part of January is unseasonably warm in Green Bay.
