I never believed in this theory until this year.

With this team it's almost better to go 10-6 and hope to play in Domes than it is to play at home at Lambeau. That's why we need to improve our run game so we can start to dominate in all playing conditions and take advantage of home field.

The Packers obviously didn't need it this season but I'm still a big fan of the HVA.

What the Packers did this season in the playoffs is pretty awesome but it's also pretty rare,I wouldn't want to press my luck and try to win 3 road playoff games to get back to the Super Bowl next year.

You can't expect to pull this every season.

And I agree we're a better dome team probably but 2 of our 3 playoff games where outdoors in the cold anyway,if we're going to play outdoors (which chances are you will if you have to play 3 on the road) I'd rather play them at Lambeau obviously.

And the other big thing of course is you play one less game if you have HVA or the #2 seed,that's huge.

What the Packers have done this season shows how great of team they are but it also shows how they underachieved in the reg season.

That fact though is a big reason why I think people are going to be surprised in this Super Bowl.I think some think we're a ''good'' 10-6 team that got hot.That's not the case IMO,along the lines of what the Sports guy said,this team is really a 14-2 juggernaut disguised in 10-6 clothing.

Agree with all of this, and great way of putting it in the last paragraph.

I've often defended McCarthy against those that constantly ripped on him, but even i'd have voted for Belichick. He did an amazing job to coax 14 wins out of that roster.

I also have my hopes on 40 ppg. So one or the other, I'm cool.

Take it easy, Champ. Why don't you stop talking for a while? Yeah, sit the next couple plays out, if you know what I mean. :)

I'll be disappointed if our defense gives up more than a TD a game next year.

16-0 while averaging 40 PPG on offense and giving up 7 PPG on defense :)
