[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 541001, member: 1242"] As the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks prepare to do battle in the Super Bowl a week from Sunday the Packers, like 29 other NFL teams, will be watching the game like hundreds of millions of fans. But it isn't the purpose of the Packers to be spectators. In Titletown they are expected to be participants. They did get it done 3 years ago but since have been eliminated in the playoffs every year short of the conference championship game. As they and we look to changing that next season a place to start might be to look at the Packers in comparison to the Super Bowl teams and see whether and how our team measures up. There aren't more than about 7 players on the current Green Bay team who would be starters for either the Broncos or Seahawks. While Denver and Seattle are certainly happy with the quarterbacks they have either one would gladly swap out for Aaron Rodgers. He's younger and more athletic than Peyton and possesses a more complete skill set than Russell Wilson. Seattle probably wouldn't trade Marshawn Lynch for Eddie Lacy but the Broncos have probably done some second guessing about passing on him for Montee Ball in the draft last year. I've got to think the Seahawks wouldn't feel better about having Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and maybe also James Jones as their receiving corps going into this game and the Packers' set could certainly give worthy competition to Denver's talented group. Guard Josh Sitton would probably win a spot on either team's offensive line. And you've got to think Clay Matthews would flourish on the Broncos defense; although I don't think he would fit the scheme in Seattle. So when you look at the areas where the Packers don't measure up to the Super Bowl champs it's easy to see where the deficiencies in personnel are. All Green Bay needs to get back to the Super Bowl is a defense and o-line. I hope Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy are thinking along similar lines. [/QUOTE]
