Patriots?? Cheesehead, I'd be more concerned with getting past the Wild Card opponent in the NFC first.
I don't see the Pack passing the 9'ers for the 2nd seed (save for a complete 9'er meltdown and the Pack winning their last two), but ... imagine a Packers/Seattle or Packers/Vikings or even a Packers/Bears WildCard game ... all of the "the Pack SHOULD win...." stuff aside... the Seahawks did play the Pack toe-to-toe (before lucking out) whether anyone will admit it or not; the Bears and/or the Vikes are familiar foes who know the Pack inside out - and thus, either of those teams are capable, then, there's the reality that both the Giants and 9'ers cleaned our clock ... make no mistake...we have bigger fish to fry than who they play in the Super Bowl.
Can I just add that I'm with you 100% on shutting up the CT media? It is sickening listening to those guys ... and really, there's no escaping it since their blather gets reported and re-reported because... well, just because. Fact is, I'd rather that some other team did the Pack's dirty work and the Pack end up with the least talented AFC team if they make it through the gauntlet of the NFC.
