All six of their regular season losses were by a combined 20 points.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">If memory serves me correct, the Packers also "got healthy" towards the end of that season.  2 of their losses in weeks 14 and 15 (Lions and Pats) were games played without Rodgers, who had suffered a concussion in the first half of the Lions game.</li> </ol>This wasn't an "average or bad" team that suddenly got good.  They were a good team that finally got healthy and on a roll.  Could this years team do the same?  I guess they could, but IMO they aren't as good as that 2010 team.</blockquote>
