Seriously......the only game I think they could have lost would have been at Detroit on Thanksgiving.
Well, no bye, no home field advantage.....but let's hope they make a run like a #1 seed should.

They lost so badly in Detroit because they were in the doldrums emotionally. No idea how Mike lifted them out of it after that one. Coach of the year.
Considering who they lost to during the time he was out- the Bears, Giants, Eagles, Pittsburgh, Lions- and then they tied the Vikings... yeah, 13-3 was possible. Every one of those teams they lost to did things against the Packers O that they NEVER would have tried with Rodgers at QB.
Like the Bears today- you simply do not blitz Aaron Rodgers- he will destroy you. The lions were sending the house against Flynn- they do that against Rodgers, he sets records.
Getting into the playoffs for this team now is a chance to reclaim what they lost when Rodgers went down. They have to play better than they did today- but you can sense they ALL believe they can win, now. SF will try to out-physical them, so they'll have to play a completely different game than they did today.
