[QUOTE="rmontro, post: 893264, member: 12340"] Back in the 70s and 80s, I used to wish the Packers could just [I]get[/I] to the Super Bowl. Because they had become so irrelevant at that point, I just wanted them to be in the conversation. When they won the NFC Championship in the '96 season, I think that made me happier than when they beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. But I never seriously considered they would lose that Super Bowl (the NFC was on a 12 game winning streak). The Broncos scared me more the following year (and rightfully so, apparently). So yeah, I'd prefer the Super Bowl loss to an earlier playoffs loss. I always want go go one more game. Besides, at least they'd be the best in the NFC. I think this year I'd really enjoy a Super Bowl appearance because I probably wouldn't really be expecting them to win, so no pressure. Now if they went to the Super Bowl and got beat in a really bad way, like the way they lost to the Seahawks in 2015, I'd probably rather spare myself that pain. Wouldn't be much fun in watching that.
