Message: <blockquote data-quote="PackerfaninCarolina" data-source="post: 737794" data-attributes="member: 9364">I would say there is a sense though that this team really needs to capture that 1st or 2nd seed because the teams that have been getting the top seeds lately ... well more or less seem to be on par with their record.  I mean ...Maybe last year's Cowboys team wasn't nearly as good as their 13-3 record would've indicated, but aside from that it's been pretty telling.I'm not going to revise history here, but I felt like the 2010 Packers were at least a 13-3 team in a 10-6 record.  That Bears team that finished 11-5 and got that bye week would have never even made the playoffs in other years, and the Falcons of that year were more like a 10-6 team that ended up 13-3.  I'd say Green Bay winning on the road all the way to the Superbowl was kind of a correction of misplaced teams' records, just as the 2006 Colts team was actually a better team than the 2005 Colts but just didn't have the record reflecting it.It may be a bit too early to assume Atlanta will be the team vying for the no. 1 or no. 2 seed considering there's a lot at play down in their division and corrections end up happening all across the board as a season wears on.  BUT ... if we did get them in the playoffs, I would prefer playing them at home up here in Lambeau because as was already stated in their near loss against Chicago, they seem much less effective on real grass, and I can't picture Matt Ryan being able to stay on the mark too well up in the freezing temperatures, or Julio being able to keep his footing on the snowy turf.  Same thing with Cam Newton.  Those players are the worst in cold weather I've ever seen.We lost to Atlanta in 2002 because our defense was so banged up it was limping, and Brett Favre just did what ole Big Game Brett always did.  And the 2007 and 2011 Giants games ... well the Giants play in cold weather too so it doesn't affect them.</blockquote>
