[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 414780, member: 3900"] This goes back to my question, when i asked a while back if we lost a game would everyone start throwing the team under the bridge and blaming the players, coach and so forth? As the weeks went by it was no more "We're lucky to win, that was a damn good game" it became "We better go 16-0" as if it's a DEMAND from the fans. You can't always get what you want....But 13-1, I'm happy we're that, even though our defense gives up way more yards than our offense gains. We will not win the Super Bowl unless changes are made. THAT IS A FACT. All year long it's been "The defense sucks, who cares? Rodgers can out score anybody!" This team reminds me of the 2010 New England Patriots. Same thing "We don't care how bad our defense is, we lead the league in interceptions, Brady can out score anybody and everybody" Remember, the 1990 49ers? This team reminds me of the 49ers offense in a way, in racking up points, but when they repeated, they actually had a damn good defense that was ranked in the top 5, and didn't give up go ahead points. But you remember when that high powered offense in it's prime got shut down? It don't matter if we have the greatest offensive unit of all time, the 2007 Patriots had one too, and they got shut down before it was too late. The 49ers in 1990 had the same killer offense for the last 3 years. NO ONE COULD STOP THEM and some how, some way the Giants did in the playoffs. What about those Ram teams under Kurt Warner? The Greatest show on turf, they absolutely rolled everyone, but in time they got shut down too. This was bound to happen, it really was. But would you have rather went undefeated and this happened against a team in the playoffs? All you gotta do is shut down Rodgers which ain't easy, and your offense no matter how bad they are can absolutely roll over this Packers defense, just make sure you don't turn the ball over.
