commentary...

the turning point of the Packers' season was December 19.2010... even though the Packers lost to the Patriots,31-27,that was not the important part of equation,two different games were more important... in fact,the 28 point explosion,by the Philadelphia Eagles,in last 8:17,in game,against the New York Giants,giving the Eagles,a 38-31 win,over the Giants,and the Detroit Lions',23-20 win,over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,gave Packers the crucial strength of schedule tiebreaker,even though,they had same conference record,as the Giants,and Buccaneers... had the Packers beaten the Patriots,but had lost one of their last two games,on their schedule,they would be sitting home,instead of getting ready for Super Bowl XLV,because they would have had a worse conference record,than the Giants,or Buccaneers... so all they had to do was win their last two games,against the Giants,and Bears,which they did,so for them,the playoffs started that weekend,against the Giants...
