I think alot of things have to work in your favor to get there. The Packers had alot of injuries while the Bears had very few. We barely got in, they were the 2nd seed. So let's agree that the Packers didn't have alot of things go their way.David Akers misses two field goals in the playoffs, but James Jones drops a pretty sure 60 plus yard touchdown. So we have luck on two plays and bad luck on one, but it's still better if our guy makes the catch and we have a chance at a PAT.Atlanta game Williams returns a pick just before the half for six, but he READ that play, no luck involved, swung the entire game our way.Chicago, BJ drops in a zone blitz after hitting the line, looks to the QB that he's engaged and then drops. That play is DESIGNED that way, it works at an opportune time.Green pushes Pouncey's replacement, but they had two weeks to make sure their assignments in the interior were solid, he hits Ben, the pass is short and it's a pick six. Bush comes in, another injury forces it and he reads the route (watch the replay, no question he played it from tape) and picks it. Kevin Greene tells Clay that Woodson is out, nobody is out there leading the defense, "It's time, it is time" and Clay calls to Picket to "spill it" and they collide to force a fumble.You can do this every game of the season. The point I'm trying to make is there is a certain amount of luck, but it's not always clear from tape which is luck and which is a really good darned football club.Hey, I'll even go so far to as admit that the Packers weren't just unlucky with injuries, maybe they have to address training or so on. The point is, alot has to go right for a team and NOTHING went right for the Packers unless they earned it.The Packers broke records all over the place this season, never won in New York Jets, never an NFC wild card SB champ, hadn't won in Philly since the 60's or something. Anyway, just because it hasn't happened recently is an obvious reason to think the other.Just as a coin flips 50/50 heads/tails. Even if it's been 4000 times in a row heads, it's still 50/50 either way.Don't you just think once this year things will be good for the Pack injury wise? And if you believe like I do that talent will always trump luck, especially when you have so much talent and experience at backup positions and arguably the greatest coaching staff in football, can't you see how this is a very real possibility?Am I missing something? If things go a little to the Packers side, if Jermichael Finley is healthy, DD stays healthy, CWood coaches up D.House (I like that one, D.House like DeHouse) and you can't see them repeating?Seriously, I think it takes a great deal of pessimism to not see them there next season. You really have to be on the edge as a fan to not recognize that no NFL team is so poised to repeat as NFL champs.Last thing, Packers always do Superbowls in twos. I, I, XXXI, XXXII, XLV, ...Yea, it's hard to repeat, but it's been done. Here's the deal.... it's been done more often than teams who are six seeded teams and win 'em all to win the Lombardi Trophy. If any team, at any time has ever been poised to be prepared to win consecutive SB wins, I'd rank our Packers right behind SB I and II champs.Yea, that's right, TItletown is gonna bring it back.</blockquote>
