A win is a win is a win. Especially a division win on the road.
It's important to get the ugly wins when the team isn't hitting on all cylinders.
It's hardly a bold prediction to state that it's likely this team won't make the SB, one could say the same thing about every team in the league. I feel better about them now than after NO. I feel better about this team than I did last week.

What this game showed (again) is that a disciplined defense can shut down the explosive Packer passing game, with just a modicum of pressure and the correct scheme.
It also showed that the Packer D can't shut down even a marginal offense with a marginal QB - at least not on the road.
As PBmax says, they have to 1) get home field advantage and I think they have to 2) hope to hell they don't have to play a team that can both run Packer Kryptonite Defense and has a halfway decent QB. Who knows - perhaps they get lucky and Niners and S-hawks KO each other and don't make the playoffs and/or don't make it to GB.
NE has a very good QB, and while they can't generate a ton of pressure with their front four, they have the d-backs to completely eliminate Cobb and Nelson. And Rodgers doesn't have near the same confidence in his second tier receivers. Packers will be lucky to escape next week with a win.

Also from Wilde this injury update:
Injury report: The only injury of note was to guard T.J. Lang, who was able to keep playing despite a left ankle injury early in the first quarter. Lang was replaced by Lane Taylor, who finished the series while Lang had his ankle re-taped. Lang initially injured the ankle Oct. 26 against New Orleans and had been limited in his practice work as a result
“I don’t really remember what happened,” Lang said. “It felt like somebody kind of clipped me from the side and just kind of re-rolled it again. Thankfully, I had a big tape job on there because it felt pretty bad. I was moving around on the sideline and it was hurting a lot but, as the game went on, it started to go away a little bit. I don’t think there’s anything too serious. We’ll see how it feels tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, defensive end Datone Jones played despite being listed as questionable with an ankle injury before the game.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
geezopete that's a long time ago

I think Burnett lost an interception because of a penalty earlier this year, too. One of the first few games.
