OFFENSE WINS GAMES DEFENSE WIN CHAMPIONSHIP

I agree. This loss is very good for this team. Finley is more focused on Tebow than on the game at hand (and I think he might just be echoing the sentiments of the other players in the locker room), and it showed with a lack of focus by the WR's mainly. Rodgers was on target early, but the drops killed any sort of rhythm. Add about 6 completions and that probably also means 4 less passes are thrown and Rodgers is all of a sudden 21 of 31 and we probably win. I would rather go 18-1 and lose to the Chiefs in the regular season than do the Patriots version of 18-1.

C'mon now. Do you really think the receiving corp spent the week on messages boards and crafting public statements about Tebow rather than practice and on film? He was answering a question that everyone has been asking. If the topic of the week is enough to distract the receivers, how have they managed prior to this?

Just because something happens first, it doesn't mean it caused the next event. I think there is a phrase for that ....

True, but this game was no worse than the loss at Detroit last December 12. They can turn this around. Having Bulaga back would help.

Good point!

I'm with you. This team, like any other, has a shot at the Superb Owl.

But in no freaking way was this team among the pantheon of best ever. 19-0 would have been a testament to pluck and luck, not GOAT. Rodgers had one of the best 11 game runs ever. Great. Other than that this is a team with a great passing game and a torn up offensive line and an ordinary running game and an ordinary defense with a penchant for the pick.

Where do you find a superb owl? What is their plummage like? What do you feed them?

Seriously, if this team wins the SB this year, there will be legitimate talk about one of the goat's, but there is no way it is the GOAT.

Fallacy. Go look up the ranks of the last 10 Super Bowl winners. All better offense than D. Differential is the key.

How many games did we win last year with our defense making the final stop? At least one comes to mind.
