commentary...

when the Packers lost,40-10,on Thanksgiving Day,2013,to the Detroit Lions,in the worst offensive showing of any team in a game in the 2013 NFL season(stats wise-that is true),the Packers were in third place,behind,Detroit,and the Chicago Bears,and honestly looked like dead meat for anything,but the long off-season in Green Bay... how did the Packers get to host a game,in playoffs??? Detroit had to lose twice,and the Bears had to lose once,along with losing to the Packers,in week seventeen,for the Packers to have a chance at the NFC North Division title??? well,the undisciplined Lions.who were second in the NFL,IN THE NUMBER OF PENALTIES,fell apart in the last seven weeks,beating only the Packers,in that real stinker,Thanksgiving Day,and the Bears lost to the Philadelphia Eagles,54-11,and then losing in the cold to the Packers,in week seventeen,33-28... the Packers were not a perfect team:they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers,38-31,and were 2-5-1,without quarterback Aaron Rodgers,and with an offense,at that time,that looked like a jigsaw puzzle,i hate to admit,they are lucky to be in playoffs,but folks,i have to say they were also the one team that seem to be stable enough just to keep within earshot,of two teams(Detroit,and Chicago)that were simply falling apart,and the Packers took advantage of their opportunities to capture the NFC North Division crown,and to host a playoff game...
