[QUOTE="Kitten, post: 362994, member: 2692"] Any team would be "lucky" to win the Superbowl. It's a dream realized. However, I don't apply the word "luck" as one of the defining influential factors in the Packers Superbowl run. If anything, up to the playoffs and Superbowl themselves, I would say the Packers were plagued with bad luck as opposed to good luck. Injuries, untimely losses, losses that should not of been, any of these things could of derailed a team with a lesser heart. But that is what defines a championship caliber team. The ability to overcome nearly insurmountable odds to triumph is what sets a championship caliber team apart from a great team. You have to have that drive, that will to survive and keep going. How many times could the Packers have given up this season? But they did not. Luck had very little to do with the Packers winning the Superbowl, their drive came from within and not without. There are some plays where one can consider luck to be a factor. Tramon's int in the endzone on the final play of the Eagles game. Also the int in the Bears game. Both were key plays that won playoff games on the final play. Luck? Perhaps. But consider this, the Packers would never of been in a position to receive that "luck" had they not the will to get there in the first place. Also consider those ints may not of been luck at all, but perhaps were just made to look like luck by tremendously talented players who know how to go for the ball and have the will to win. Sometimes raw talent and an iron will can be mistaken for luck. I wouldn't personally say any of those plays were lucky, I give all to the talent level of this team and its will to win.

I feel lucky to be a fan of this great team, more like honored. But for the team, I don't think luck really influenced their Superbowl win nor the events that lead up to it. [/QUOTE]
