[QUOTE="Half Empty, post: 667202, member: 10288"] OK, it's slow, so might as well keep this going. Don't pay attention to the Bengals, and I don't remember them being favorites often enough to choke, but if you get a chance, please elaborate. The Pats two losses are those I refer to when citing how great a team they've been - my description is losing on two once-in-a-lifetime catches that nobody could have prevented, not choking. That Seahawks INT at the goal-line certainly qualifies, but that's one. Didn't remember the Vikings repeating the FG debacle, but I've already mentioned them as possible contenders. Didn't get a chance to post this, and now that I'm back, I think the point (my point) has little to do with the apples-and-oranges comparisons. It's more simply a matter of the Packers being my team, wanting them to win, especially when they're expected to, and being highly disappointed when they don't. Their one SB loss continues to hurt as much as the two post-Lombardi wins help - losing while a big favorite, and particularly what that loss did to the overall SB total win and percentage win rankings. The Lambeau Mystique was a real thing, and now getting home field advantage is as effective as a coin flip. I just really don't like losing when the opportunity is there, no matter that it's hard - there will be plenty of time later when even the opportunity is gone, and I want something to remember with pleasure.
