[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 414934, member: 2232"] False. The thing is, I lived thru the awful Packers of the 1980's, and late 70's too. I've learned time & time again nobody is unbeatable. I've also learned that there is often more to, behind, simply numbers like our record. Our defense has been crappy, there's no getting around it. It reminds me of 2009 because it was bad then too, but we got by with a great offense and plenty of turnovers. But when we ran into a great QB (which often tends to happen in post-season), we were exposed big time, lost, and were eliminated. That was Kurt Warner. Last post-season, we didn't have to face Warner. Or Brees. Or Brady. Or Manning. We did stop Big Ben, and got 2 bug interceptions on great plays from Collins (Howard Green), and Jarrett Bush (yes). We still barely won, and needed a Mendenhall fumble. There's a lot of luck in a game too. The bottom line here is we're most likely going to have to beat Brees and Brady to win this Super Bowl. If the defense doesn't somehow magically improve a lot, this might not be our last loss. Home field advantage is not worth nearly as much as some people think it is. Now, we are still the Vegas oddsmakers to win the Super Bowl, but we have some work to do. This loss doesn't bother me to be honest, nearly as much as seeing Sherrod's leg snapped like that. I hate hate hate hate knee, leg injuries. [/QUOTE]
