    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Since the final margin of the superbowl was 6 points, rather than 4 or less, the Packers still can't win close games.

    Good pad level with keep those games close.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Good Bump. MM has proven he can win a championship. Expect multiple.

    Winning close games is currently moot since winning a super bowl cancels out all possible weaknesses for the moment.

    At the end of the day imo winning games by less than 3 is still a question.

    Are you truely serious in the last line? Like I posted some where else you are probably going to be disappointed again next year. I think their will be a lot of 35-13 games. Watches us go 13-3 and lose the 3 games by a total of 9 points and the MM "shit" will continue.

    I was kinda hoping we would go for it and miss at the end so the D could hold a 3 point lead in the superbowl. Just saying.

    Quick question though. We won in chicago, Philly and the big game with the other team driving for a winning score....wouldn't those be considered "close and meaningful" games?

    Here's the type of close game that I have yet to see MM and Rodgers win (sans Bears game 2009). Back and forth teams scoring and the Packers have the ball with 2 minutes less and are down by 3-4. Have they driven down the field and scored the game winning TD much at all? I don't recall any other than that one Bears game.

    What I have seen is the defense has held on much more and much better all throughout games this year. Most people call the first Lions game this year a close win (we won by 2), but man if it isn't for the defense holding the Lions to field goals AND also scoring the only TD in the second half we lose that game.

    Sure wish Crosby would have missed that Field Goal so we could have won the Super Bowl by 4 or less.

    I'm confused. Is it the offense keeping other teams in the games or the defense? Are all other NFL teams so shitty that they should be blown out by the Packers every single game? Makes no sense. It's the NFL not Wisconsin against local community college.

    Go look at any 2008 game that we lost.

    A-Rod tied or gaves us the lead in the 4th quarter I think in 9 of the losses only to have the D or ST give up TD before the end of the game. There should be some good threads to bump regarding the inability of ARod first to be a winning QB and second to lead a comeback win.

    The Packers just score too quickly making the defense work for their checks too.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    I know. I'm talking about 2 minutes to go, we score the last time and their team has no shot at winning it. This year the defense stepped up and won those games for us, but we have rarely won a game with Rodgers where we had the ball last and scored without giving the other team a shot to win it.
