I'm telling you, Packers wont make it to the superbowl, let alone win it. Once they start playing tough, smart players that dont make stupid choices and get ejected, its all over for them.

First things first, eh? Stating the obvious about not looking past steps has never been more sensible than this year:

1. Lock up a playoff spot
2. Win the division
3. Earn a bye
4. Beat playoff opponent
5. Repeat goal #4 once or twice, depending on #3

If the Pats can manage all this, then we can justify talking about SB win prospects

That was last time, and 2 seasons ago.

Yeah, really good points. I just don't think Rogers was clutch until this season, and I see his receivers making god amazing catches in games. Brees and Brady look more accurate to me, and it seems to me that Rogers WR/TE core is having a amazing year. Last SB season a lot of lucky things had to happen for them to win the SB and not face the best teams. In 2009 Rogers was not very clutch losing to Brent Farve 2x, and what are the chances that GB would play us the 1st game of the season and we would have that many important players unable to play? and who Gave them this easy schedule this season,lol. I mean, there is a lot of luck happening in GB.
I could be wrong, its just a loose opinion I have right now.

When Brees came to NO in 2006 and started putting up monster passing records he was about 25-26 years old, and we didn't really buy into him until around 2008. Maybe as a culture we are just hesitant about crowning our ball players as being elite or really good. Its more a disbelief that they are playing well,lol.
So, I just want to see what rogers can do for 3 seasons or more.

2009 Rodgers was really looking good, then took a drop down in 2010, and then he's doing great again in 2011, according to the leader boards.

I am not completely sure what Im trying to express,lol, except to say, for some reason Rogers is not in my elite list yet, and I do think NO has a more dangerous and proven offense than GB. Im not trying to put Rogers down, but it seems to always come out that way,lol.

I think your points are just as valid as mine. Im thinking GB would not have won the SB against a better opponent and without the 3 turnovers to barely win, and you right also, the turnovers were caused by GB as a team, and Rogers did go down and score at the end.

NO losing to the Rams was a complete shock to the NFL. Not only did the defense fail, but for the 1st time sense 2006 the offense almost failed. And their really is no good reason for it. We faced a 2nd string QB, and we didn't have a single injury.
Its made a lot of sports commentators and opposing fans gun shy of the saints.
But what we think is that was our teams turning point. We just got our butts kicked fair and square by a really bad team That didn't even happen with the seahawks.
Thats never really happend. I mean the Browns beat us both, but they were not that bad of a team. I see the old Saints team now, not because of the giants game, but the 3 wins they have put together sense the Rams game. I completely agree with you though, its GB,NE, and NO SB to lose at this point. All teams have the players to get even better as the season goes, baring injuries or miracle throws .
As long as we all "just do our job", and try to improve, we will get another shot at GB, and you will be waiting for who wins that epic battle

We destroyed the packers in 2008 with rogers 51-29 , and they beat us this year. Maybe the start of a new rivalry fun. We have never been considered worthy of a rivalry,lol, and we spank the falcons every year.

Yeah, Im not buying the 49ers or Ravens either. Your right their offenses can not produce against good defensive play. Texans are dead, really sucks, they had a shot this year. You think steelers? I was thinking more of the Falcons, but they have noooo depth at all, you stop turner they usually lose we have learned , or even the Raiders. Palmer was a nice addition to a good run game, you think ?

How about 1 win in the playoffs first.

With the way this secondary is playing, I'd say that Rodgers would probably be a Patriots killer as well. Brady would have to go on long, sustained drives with the offense to keep him off the field. In either game, our offense would be the best defense for us.

FWIW, Rodgers' worst game this season was at Chicago. 28/38 (73.7%), 297 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Passer rating "only" 110.4.

If that's true, I don't want the Pats to face that guy.
