[QUOTE="sschind, post: 763752, member: 10247"] I did think of that. I recall people thinking this was the year it all fell apart for them. Lets just say there really is no GOOD time to face the New England Patriots and leave it at that. An NFL purist might prefer the matchup of two GOAT QBs but most fans are not NFL purists. I know I'm not and even most of them who might say they are probably really aren't. I'm a Packer fan first and foremost and my preferred result of every Packer game is a victory. If the Packers play the Patriots in the SB there are 4 potential outcomes the way I see it order of preference. We win playing against Brady, we win without Brady, we lose playing against Brady, we lose without Brady (I'm actually not sure about those last two but it really doesn't matter) . Since the win/lose thing is a toss up I want whatever gives us the better chance of winning and that is without Brady. I don't wish for injuries but they are not in my control and if he can't play for some reason so much the better for the Packers chance of victory. Bottom line I would prefer to BEAT a team at full strength but I would prefer to PLAY a team with some sort of diminished strength because that should give us a better chance of simply beating them which is my ultimate preferred result. It may not be the politically correct thing to say but for most fans I would say its a fact whether they admit it or not. [/QUOTE]
