There is no disputing the Packers caught a lucky break that weekend, which kept our playoff hopes alive. Nothing Peter King said is factually inaccurate- The Packers were damn lucky to make the playoffs. Had we beaten Detroit, or even Washington earlier in the season, we would not have had to rely on that luck. But the simple fact is we caught a lucky break and were prepared enough to capitalize on that opportunity. The other side of the coin is the Giants had a chance to seal the deal for themselves by beating us at home, but failed to do so. If the Giants win just that one game, we're out. The Bucs could have sealed the deal for themselves too, by winning just one more game. Don't make that stupid fumble against Atlanta and you're in. They didn't capitalize. So they can look at us and think we didn't deserve to be in because we got lucky, but the fact of the matter is both of those two teams had a chance to qualify for the playoffs themselves and failed to do so. And it takes a lot more than luck to go on the road, knock off the #1, 2 and 3 seeds and win the Super Bowl.</blockquote>
