Will Packers Become A Contender On Sunday

There are many ways to get to the Super Bowl.  And, as proven the past 10 years, it is not always predictable!  Evidence for this ………….

2013 - Seahawks  - Regular Season Record 13-3
     Defense & a running game!  Old school approach!  Was NFC #1 Seed.  A short QB can win
the Super Bowl!

2012 - Ravens  - Regular Season Record 10-6
     Defense!  A hot & cold QB finished the year hot!  Won, division, but needed to go through
the wild card game!

2011 - Giants  - Regular Season Record 9-7
     Wild Card team, qualifying in last game!  QB, got hot at the end of the year!  Good defense!

2010 - Packers  - Regular Season Record 10-6
     Wild card team, all 6 of there loses were by four points or less!  Entered play offs as the
sixth seed!

2009 - Saints  - Regular Season Record 13-3
     Won the south division.  Top seed in NFC, but lost last 3 regular season games!

2008 - Steelers  - Regular Season Record 12-4
     Won AFC North.  Great defense - #1 yards allowed & points!

2007 - Giants  - Regular Season Record 10-6
     Wild Card route!  Beat an undefeated Patriots (18-0) to win Super Bowl!

2006 - Colts  - Regular Season Record 12-4
     Won AFC South.  Was the 4th season for the Colts of 12 wins in regular season!

2005 - Steelers  - Regular Season Record 11-5
     Got to super bowl as a wild card team.  Was second in AFC North.

2004 - Patriots  - Regular Season Record 14-2
    Won AFC East and was second seed entering playoffs.

So, as the past ten years show, there are MANY ways to win a Super Bowl!  Four of the last
ten, were wild card teams!  Two were the top seeds.  Some had great defenses, and here is a list of QB's:

2013 - Russel Wilson
2012 - Joe Flacco
2011 - Eli Manning'
2010 - Aaron Rogers
2009 - Drew Brees
2008 - Ben Roethlisberger
2007 - Eli Manning
2006 - Peyton Manning
2005 - Ben Roethlisberger
2004 - Tom Brady

Two of the QB's have 2 wins & E. Manning & Roethlisberger are above average QB's.  Four, Rogers, P. Manning, Brady, & Brees are probably hall of famers!  Flacco & Wilson are QB's that will be around for a long time!

So, looks like you need an above average QB right now, a good defense, and stay healthy!

For the Eagles - QB?  Sanchez no!  Foles, maybe.  Defense, maybe?
For the Packers - QB?  Rogers YES!  Defense, this week will tell a lot!
