Well said. This team’s only..and I mean ONLY goal is a three peat..PERIOD. You strive for perfection at your employer. If you do that you can achieve excellence.

Agreed, but I have to play the pessimist on packer posts.

I guess my greater point is, there are a lot of reasons that the Packers might not win the Super Bowl with the most obvious one being that it’s hard to do. They could have injuries to key players, they could catch a bad call or an unfortunately timed turnover in a playoff game. They could just lose to a team that is better on that day. They will not miss out on a championship because they didn’t all get together on some high school field in June.

Gbay got hot at the exact right time last year, so they are hardly a dominant force. They haven’t even won a division title under Rodgers. So, the complacency will happen, injuries will happen, attitudes will shift, selfishness will happen, and those that expect a repeat need to look no further than the Colts or Saints that did not repeat……and the COLTS have been dominant for nearly 10 years!!!!

It is incredibly difficult to repeat in the NFL, everyone knows that. What GB has going for them is the competition that will result from players coming back from IR. Do you think Jermichael Finley and Ryan Grant are satisfied with a ring they had nothing to do with? How bad do you think Aaron Rodgers wants to win the 2nd ring that Favre never could? All the haters are laughable, only time will tell.

Another thing to think about…Everyone knows Ted Thompson is the most hesitant GM in the league to spend money in free agency but he will pull out the pocket book if he has good reason (Charles Woodson). The weakest position on Green Bay’s roster is left guard. What would happen if Thompson decides to spend big to get Logan Mankins in GB? Green Bay would instantly go from a middle of the road offensive line to the (arguably) best offensive line in the league with the return of a back to back 1200 yard rusher with a chip on his shoulder. Remember Mankins has never won a title in New England. Maybe just a pipe dream but ya never know.

Would I prefer my team wins their division and gets a bye and an easier playoff schedule? Sure. But sometimes you get the bye, you get an NFC championship game at home, and your 37 year old quarterback looks cold and miserable and throws the game away. Other times your team plays on the road against the 1, 2 and 3 seeds before winning the Super Bowl.

I was just saying that your team is more likely to win the Super Bowl if it has proven itself throughout the season.

It seems like the Packers aren’t going to have to worry about complacency. Their fans have enough complacency to go around for everyone.

The Packers are not complacent. Nor are they satisfied with one ring.

This team wants to build itself into a Dynasty.

All you haters just keep on hating, that’s all you’re going to do anyway. In the end it boils down to jealousy.

The Packers are better than your team.

The Packers Are Better

Hmmm…sounds familiar. Replace “Packers” with “Saints” and you get an idea as to how the general feeling went down last year.

Not saying it’s right or wrong, just that it seems people are thinking these player led workouts are more than they really are.

Somebody has sour grapes that his r@p1st QB couldn’t bring home the Lombardi Trophy. You do realize that the Packers had more starters on injured reserve than any other Super Bowl winning team in history, right? And I believe that we were already up on Chicago by 14 points when their starter went out.

Sorry, but your post is what we call an epic fail.

As long as there is time to have training camp and 4 preseason games I think the Pack will be just fine. If not they may struggle more than some of the teams that having been working their ass off together.

Time will tell I guess but if they do struggle through the season than they only have themselves to blame.

Who cares? They won a Super Bowl. THE SUPER BOWL! It doesn’t matter how you get into the playoffs. What matters is what you do in the playoffs. The Seahawks won a division title last year at 7-9 – one game better than the last place teams in three other divisions.

You sound like Denny Green with that “it doesn’t matter how you get in the playoffs” garbage. Of course it matters. Which team has a better chance of winning the Super Bowl: The 12-4 division champion or the 8-8 wildcard team? Every once in a while a mediocre team will get hot in the playoffs and win the Super Bowl, but it isn’t something you guys should be counting on every year. And yet here you are.

One last thing….I don’t think the Packers “just got hot” I think their back-ups and undrafted free agents started playing well, if you actually watched the Packers this season Charlie Peprah, Frank Zombo, Erik Walden, Desmond Bishop, Sam Shields and James Starks all played well. The Colts used injuries as an excuse, the Packers have depth and I can’t wait to see what they can do next year.

In other words, unless you’re trying to make a championship-free team sound important (right Vikings fans?), then winning your division is meaningless beyond the automatic playoff birth it provides.

As far as offseason workouts, Hawk is probably right. The best case scenario is that these guys work out together and stay in shape. There’s also the chance that they’re learning bad habits that only a coach would catch. The worst case scenario would be injuries – especially to rookies not yet under contract.

These teams are very stringent with the practice process they go through, drills, one one ones. 7 on 7 and so forth.

The spotlight is on the Packers for being “The Champs”, so no matter what they do or don’t do as a team the haters will be out in force.

Now we have super bowl hangover? go figure. we’ll be fine. I’ll stack our roster right now against any in the NFL

Because a team isn’t doing wind sprints in your living room makes them “jerks”?

__________

No. Making arrogant ‘Rex Ryan’ statements makes them jerks. Failure to be bothered by them makes you a fanboy.

It’s a valid question. The reason is that the Packers got incredibly hot at the end of the year and won it all in the “against all odds,” type fashion with the injuries, etc. I think the experts see the Packers as a team that has been building a franchise over the years and have won the whole thing maybe a year or two prematurely.

I’m kidding, of course. It’s nice to hear that the Pack aren’t practicing, though. It’ll make this year’s sweep all the more satisfying.

It seems like every team that wins a Superbowl … that no matter how much you might like them … they turn into jerks the very next year.

Yeah, what a bunch of scumbags.

Hopefully we get to play the Sea-hawks in the playoffs so we can take an easy route to the NFC championship game.
