A couple years ago when the Giants got hot and ran through the NFC (including our beloved Packers) and then the SB, the 1st Patriot game in week 17 is where it started. They lost, but it gave them the confidence to go out and know they could compete with anyone.
In week 15, the Packers lost to the Patriots, but they didn't have their best offensive player on the field, and they still made a game of it. Since then, the Packers are unbeaten and have been rolling. That game gave them the confidence, just like the '07 Giants, to go out every week and compete against anyone. I am not sure this is a knew thought, but I have never personally heard someone mention the comparison incorporating the Patriots. Thoughts? Win or lose, the Packers got hot and more confident after the Patriot loss.
