Is anybody else afraid of the parallel that is appearing between the Packers and Indianapolis Colts? Between 1999 and 2010, the Colts finished with ten or more wins in ever year except for 2001 (also the only year the Colts did not make the playoffs). The Colts had the best quarterback in the NFL (Manning) and a top 13 ranked offense in every year except for 2002. Even with all of these explosive offenses and trips to the playoffs, the Colts only won 1 Super Bowl. The Colts were a dominate regular season team who's defense and lack of running game was exploited year after year in the playoffs.
Similarly, the Packers have won 36 regular season games over the last three seasons. The Super Bowl in 2010 was special, but now the Packers have been blown out of the playoffs in two consecutive years. The defense and running game has cost the Packers for two straight years. As with the Colts, the Packers are a finesse team with an explosive passive game.
How do the Packers not become the Colts? Rodgers is only 29. The defense was infused with youth last year, but the offensive line and running backs are extremely weak.
