Considering the Packers we're only the third best team talent wise in the NFC north (slightly ahead of detroilet), yes, I can. The 2010 season was cursed for the elite of the NFC, letting cinderalla's like green bay squeek into the playoffs and then miraculously get into and win the superbowl.

I had a broken watch once, and it was right twice a day...

Absolutely classic Minnesota response! Hilarious! 3rd best talent? I can't express to you how hysterical that line was!
 

You guys are missing one point.

A few people have pointed out the state of wisconsin's love of necrozoophilia, but nobody's pointed out that there weren't any arrests for it in the past year. That clearly shows that they're not getting caught, which is also quite lucky for them.

That's just because the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared it a healthy lifestyle choice.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it becomes a ballot initiative in wisconsin to allow people to marry dead animals. And then people in wisconsin will want to marry dead animals of the same sex, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I give green bay one single edge over the vikings at any position, QB (the one that wasn't a pro bowler), and only by default because we don't have a 'starting quarterback'.


I'm sure you're now going to tell me that green bay has two running backs that are both better than AP now, right?... please. Tell you what, enjoy your cinderella season, you deserve it.
 

This war between the states is really humorous

The way I see it is that Packer and Badger fans and people from Wisconsin for that matter are just not that interesting. When you have two brain cells, one red and one green, talking about anything but Packers and Badgers is a chore. Ask a simple question and you get this sort wide open mouth glazed response.
My remedy is to avoid these people all together. It works out quite well. I mean you never see someone dressed from head to toe in green and gold at Byerly's. They have great fans and enjoy their teams. Good for you. I guess you flaunt your teams when you have nothing else.

Go Gophers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon. I'm as big of a Vikings fan as there is, but you have to be joking with this comment. The Packers have better players at almost every position on the field.

RB is probably the one exception lol (Except AP has no real back up) otherwise, Packers do have more talent. Everywhere. OL on paper Vikings MIGHT be better, sure didn't show it this year though.

Holy s---! You topped the first stupid statement! Unreal!
 

typical wisconsin fans taking offense to something that was not meant to bash or insult them in any way. shocking....

Can anyone cue up that we've landed on the moon pic from D&D please...
 

As a Gopher-Packer I find this thread quite conflicting to my interests.
 




You realize that the Packers beat the #1, #2, and #3 seeds on the road before beating the AFC's #2 seed on a neutral field. Yeah, the Bears weren't the best NFC championship game team ever, but the Packers had already beaten the teams with better records.

Someone talks about the Giants and how the Packers were lucky they didn't do better and get in. The Packers destroyed the Giants with both teams' season on the line in week 16.

And the point about the recovered fumble is even sillier. Do you think no other Super Bowl team has ever recovered its own fumble?

Overall the teams that the Packers beat in the last 6 weeks of the season were 67-29. Don't complain about the Vikings having to play one road game.

The thing that disgusts me is that when the Vikings have a great season and get the #2 seed, they were the only #2 seed in the past 4 years not to get the NFC championship game on home field. Do you think that the 2009 Vikings could not have pulverized the 2010 Bears into oblivion, even at Soldier Field? Do you really think that the 2010 Packers were any better than the 2009 Vikings? Or the 1998 Vikings? Or the 1975 Vikings (or even the 1987 Vikings)? But somehow, the Packers have a 10-6 season, just enough to squeak into the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC, and then ride that weakness to a Super Bowl victory on the backs of one extremely hot arm and a whole lot of lucky bounces (if Pittsburgh recovers the opening punt fumble, that game is totally different) and a slew of relatively weak opponents (the Eagles were their only tough playoff game, since New Orleans was apparently only a one-hit wonder for the Vikings' great team last year (akin to the 1998 Falcons).

Perhaps it wasn't really Packers' luck - they seemed to earn their victory - as much as it is the extremely bad luck of Minnesota home teams, that makes everyone else appear to be "lucky". Minnesota fans are bitter and have a damn straight right to be.

Until something besides the 1987 and 1991 Twins bounces Minnesota's way in sports, the bitterness should fully remain. Just one time, since then (or before then), amazingly bad things should not happen to Minnesota sports teams.

I agree with you that once the Packers got into the playoffs, they were the best team. They beat everyone that was put in front of them, and beat some very good teams on the road.

I think a lot of things fell their way for them to get into the playoffs (e.g. Tampa losing to Detroilet). In that way they were lucky to have the opportunity. Once given it, they made the most of it and it was definitely an impressive run in the playoffs.
 

and the year got a whole lot luckier yesterday. Go figure, Badgers must have the market cornered on four leaf clovers. :D

who needs a comedy club when we have this?
 


How lucky can they be when they still have to live in Wisconsin?
