[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 130673, member: 598"] Ok, let's look at this a little closer. Yes, the Packers only beat one team this year that had a winning record. But, who did they lose to this year? We lost to several of the top teams in the league. Chicago (13-3) - Division winner and HFA throughout New England (12-4) Division winner New Orleans (10-6) Division winner Philadelphia (10-6) Division winner Seattle (9-7) Division winner New York Jets (10-6) Playoff team St Louis (8-8) Same record as GB Buffalo (7-9) They did what 8-8 teams (of which there were 8 out of the 32 teams -- 1/4 of the league) do -- they win the games against lesser teams adn lose to the better teams -- with an occasional upset (Buffalo, Chicago). There are only 12 teams with records better than the Packers and I am quite proud of how the youngest team in the league can come in and compete with the majority of the teams in the league. I think it bodes well for the future as their experience and familiarity grows. Another way to look at it would be to look at the records of the teams at the time that they played the games Week 1: Chicago and GB both come in at (0-0). Chicago wins Week 2: New Orleans (1-0) beats GB (0-1). Week 3: GB (0-2) beats Detroit (0-2) Week 4: Philadelphia (2-1) beats GB (1-2) Week 5: St Louis (3-1) beats GB (1-3) Week 6: BYE Week 7: GB (1-4) beats Miami (1-5) Week 8: GB (2-4) beats Arizona (1-6) Week 9: Buffalo (2-5) beats GB (3-4) Week 10: GB (3-5) beats Minnesota (4-4) Week 11: New England (6-3) beats GB (4-5) Week 12: Seattle (6-4) beats GB (4-6) Week 13: New York Jets (6-5) beats GB (4-7) Week 14: GB (4-8) beats San Francisco (5-7) Week 15: GB (5-8) beats Detroit (2-11) Week 16: GB (6-8) beats Minnesota (6-8) Week 17: GB (7-8) beats Chicago (13-2) 7 out of GB's 8 losses came to teams that had equal or better records than the Packers going into the game. The Packers won 5 games with teams with better or equal records going into the game. Only 3 times did the Packers and their opponent come into the game with the same record. Of those games, we went 2-1. We lost to Chicago and beat Minnesota and Detroit. Nine times, the opponent came into the game with a better record. The Packers went 3-6 in those games. Only 4 times did the Packers play teams with worse records going into the game. Of those, we went 3-1. So basically, for the most part, we beat teams below us and lose to teams above us and are competitive with teams that are close to our level. We can be thankful that there are so many "average" teams out there so we are competitive in most games. [/QUOTE]
