[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 354416, member: 1007"] Here's the thing- never let the facts get in the way of a good story. People can say the stars aligned for the Packers all on that one weekend, but the fact is we were prepared to capitalize on it, and we did. We did our jobs, and the work we put in this season allowed us to make the playoffs. Let's examine that Giants/Eagles game a little further. Even if Jackson didn't make that miraculous kick return for a touch down, there's no guarantee the Giants would have won that game as the Giants were kicking for over time. Jackson saw to it there was no over time. Even with the loss, the Giants still had a chance to knock us out and let themselves in by beating us. Even if the Giants managed to beat Philly, GB still makes the playoffs as we had the head to head tie breaker over them. We can look at Tampa Bay and see a couple of instances where they could have done their jobs and made the playoffs. One was a late fumble against Atlanta that cost them the game. Another was to home loss to Detroit. If either of those things change, they make the playoffs and we don't. I know it's easy to get caught up in the "If" game, but the fact is we took advantage of the opportunities afforded to us and the other teams didn't. We won the Super Bowl. I'm not going to apologize for it. [/QUOTE]
