[QUOTE="TJV, post: 362990, member: 4300"] [FONT=Verdana]Luck does play a part but I don't think the Packers were unusually lucky. Many times when we talk about luck in the NFL its regarding injuries and we can all agree the Packers were very unlucky in that regard. To me the Eagles comeback against the Giants was the luckiest thing that happened to the Packers, but that is easily "balanced" by their bad luck with injures. BTW, IMO opposing QBs overthrowing receivers and Rodgers' pinpoint accuracy aren't "lucky" at all. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]And one more thing: While the Packers went through an entire season never trailing by more than 7 points and losing 6 games by a total of 20 points, many Packers fans criticized McCarthy and his staff for their inability to win the close ones. A story after the Super Bowl reported that inside the Packers locker room the players were talking about how close they came to an undefeated season. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]All in all - and yes I'm biased - IMO the Packers were not as lucky as most Super Bowl winners. ([FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]Ausnadian beat me to the punch making this point.)[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
