I don't buy that for a second. Check the records of playoff victories vs. defensive standings.
Any given year, you will find a direct correlation between defensive ranking and playoff victories.
But having said that, don't think for a second that GB is not qualified to win this game. You guys have a very solid defense.

Good offense beats good defense......It's just the nature of the game.

Uhh... no it isn't.
Check the NFL team stats. Top 5 offenses vs top 5 defenses. Who made the playoffs and who didn't?
Top 5 offenses:
1. San Diego Chargers 395.6 2. Philadelphia Eagles 389.4 3. Houston Texans 386.6 4. Indianapolis Colts 380.8 5. New York Giants 380.3
Top 5 defenses:
1. San Diego Chargers 271.6 2. Pittsburgh Steelers 276.8 3. New York Jets 291.5 4. New Orleans Saints 306.2 5. Green Bay Packers 309.1
It's like this every year.

Recently, yes. But offenses dominated Championship games in the past, and may again in the future with all the rules changes that favor the offense.

Not true. Defensive leaders have gone to the playoffs and won way more championships than offensive leaders for at least as long as the merger.
That might change someday, but it hasn't changed yet.

Super bowl XLI, perfect example of a great offense destroying a great defense
