[QUOTE="America, post: 246260, member: 454"] Maybe you do need to spell it out. Because when I look at the FACTS, I see a team that went as far in the playoffs as their defense took them. For example, during the Favre Era, the Packers had 3 seasons where they won more than 1 playoff game....1995, 1996, 1997. In those years, the Packers finished 4th, 1st, and 5th respectively in scoring defense. We also had some seasons where we made the playoffs and won one game. 1993, where our scoring defense was 5th. 1994, where our scoring defense was 9th. 2001, (5th) 2003, (11th) 2007, (6th) And we had some seasons where we made the playoffs and didn't win a single game. 1998 (11th, but 4th in total defense) 2002 (12th and 12th) 2004 ( 23rd and 25th) So it looks pretty clear to me: We made the playoffs , and won at least one game, if our defense was in the top 6. If our defense was in the top 12, we made the playoffs and possibly won one game. The only time we made the playoffs with a weak defense was 2004 when we won a weak division and then lost at home. So it seems to me that the reason we were in those big games is because we had pretty good defenses those seasons, not because Favre was some miracle worker. [/QUOTE]
