[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1090056, member: 10086"] It’s an interesting argument. I think the most impressive thing for me is that we DID qualify as that added 7th seed and in 2023-24 and we did make an improvement off of our Rodgers led 8-9 ending in 2022. I don’t think anyone felt at the time that GB “got lucky” in 2023 if that’s what you’re arguing? I would argue against that and I’d exclude 2023. If we’re being honest with ourselves I think 2023 was NOT considered a failure at the time nor should it now be switched to “failure”. We did have some surprising success in 2023 by besting Dallas on the road and going toe to toe with a really good 49ers team in their house. If we recall we were winning 21-16 in the 4th Quarter when our Kicker shanked a very doable 41 yard FG, one that would’ve put us up 24-16. with 6 minutes left. It took SF49ers 5+ minutes to score a TD on that following drive. Which would’ve at best would’ve been a Tie if they made the 2-pt conversion or a GB win. Yet even a tie GB had the ball and now only needed FG and didn’t have to protect the clock as much with 1:09 and timeouts. That Divisional game was either OT or a Packer Win if we simply make a 41 yard FGA. Sound familiar?! So I’ll give you the 2024,2025. In 2024 we shouldn’t have risked a Kick return on play #1.

In Q2? 0 yards 0 yards 0 yards 0 yards Let’s call a -2 into the Guard on a delayed handoff into? The middle?? Really ? On 2nd 10? While their D is fresh to open the Q3?
