BeeR Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So....I think it's safe to say that the Green Bay Packers might be the biggest underachievers over the past 5 or 6 years. Yes I know they won Super Bowl 45, but since then, they have very little to show in the postseason despite being Super Bowl favorites nearly every year. Yeah it's not like Nelson was a huge part of their team. Besides not everyone can be the Cheatriots* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballmike93079 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Yeah it's not like Nelson was a huge part of their team. Besides not everyone can be the Cheatriots* True, they were short handed this year without Nelson. But good teams find ways to win. But even if they had Nelson, I'm sure they would have still found a way to blow it. I found it funny that over the past 5 years, the Packers were ranked #1 in Points Forced twice (with Nelson as the top WR) and still fell short.

They made the playoffs with Jordy out all year, Cobb having a down year and having to rely oN James Jones and lesser WR. they held it together, made the playoffs,m won a game and almost pulled off an upset tonight against a team that was at full health and at home.

footballmike93079 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I think its safe to say your not even closeWhat do they have to show tho in the past 5 years? All I see is embarrassing collapse against the Hawks in the Conference Championship game (despite having the top offense in the league), an embarrassing early exit in 2011 (despite going 15-1) and getting flat out beat at San Fran in 2013. The Packers are always preseason favorites and usually do extremely well in the regular season. But they rarely come around in the postseason.

footballmike93079 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Sigh...not trying to "troll" anyone. I just thought it was an interesting point because when I think about the Packers as of late, I think of amazing regular seasons but disappointing/shocking playoff losses. Please tell me, am I wrong to think this? I'm just trying to have an innocent conversation. But hey, I know how it is. If someone doesn't agree with you guys, then they are wrong. I'm not part of your clique. Edited January 17, 2016 by footballmike93079 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Last Five Super Bowl Winners Patriots Seahawks Ravens Giants Packers Packers record the past five years: 2010 - Won Super Bowl 2011 - 15-1. Lost to Giants in Divisional Playoffs 2012 - 11-5. Won wild card and lost divisional playoffs 2013 - 8-7-1. Lost in Wild Card 2014 - 12-4. Won divisonal playoff. Lost confernece playoff 2015 - 10-6. Won Wild Card. Lost in divisional playoff Made the playoffs each of the past five years since they won the Super Bowl. Won a playoff game each year except one.

Your standards for a professional team must be very very high. The Packers are Super Bowl favorites (or predicted NFC representatives) nearly every year. So yes....their standards and my expectations for them are very very high. But you proved what I just said...the Packers had great regular seasons but disappointing playoff losses. And for most of those losses, they were embarrassing losses. If it is ok for an elite QB like Rodgers (considered the best QB in the league at times) to come up short in the playoffs on a consistent basis then why did Peyton get such a bad reputation for his lack of SBs during his time in Indy?

bud29 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So....I'm glad I remembered to DVR this before I ran off to work. Ho. Ly. Balls. Absolutely unbelievable. Kind of rooting for the Cards to go all the way at this point, since it looks like all the options from the AFC will suck ass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud29 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Only comparable games I can think of right now are Auburn's two miracles against and a few years back. Crazy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
