Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

I'm starting this thread off with this gem from Rob Reischel today:

From 12/26/10 to 12/11/11, #Packers went 19-0 (1.000). In its last 19, Green Bay is 8-10-1 (.447).

@ReinMan23 @PackerReport 2-4-1 in games 12 didn't start. 6-6 with him.

The key word in that last tweet is "start". He's counting the Bears game, in which Rodgers was knocked out in the first series. If you change that to "finish", the numbers get to be 2-5-1 and 6-5.

Those 5 losses? 3 to SF -- playoffs 2012, season opener 2013, playoffs 2013; 1 to Seattle -- season opener 2014; and 1 heartbreaker in Cincy.
