I have an interesting question...today’s victory did not look the best. I think we can all agree on that. Several victories have been that way. So here is the question: If the magically found a way to keep winning while not playing amazing, how far do they have to go in the playoffs for the fanbase (myself included) to stop worrying about ‘how’ they win versus ‘that’ they win?

3 more wins should do it
I've been thinking that since October.

Just win baby lol.
When you look at each win individually most of them seem kind of flukey. When you look at the body of work though, it shouldn’t be that surprising this team is 13-3. We’re so used to being +10 in the win column BECAUSE Aaron Rodgers is carrying the team and is playing incredible that it’s hard to believe a GB team could win even when he’s not incredible. I mean we’re talking about almost 30 years, save for a couple special defensive years, where 2 QBs have carried the franchise on their back to A LOT of wins.
I prefer Meat Head Tice....enjoy the season. It has been just that. Enjoyable.
Yeah, it's like we moved to the southern hemisphere and all of a sudden winter is summer.
Bizzaro world.
Or George Costanza opposite.
I say enjoy each win no matter what it looks like. If its a win by a score of 6-3 or a score of 36-33 it doesn't matter just WIN.
RMAN the beauty of the NFL is that it doesn't matter how you look when you win a win is a win. Not picking on you personally but I don't know if I have ever experienced a fanbase that seems to have so much anguish when their team wins.
Remember when we would be jumping up and down with a 13-3 season, division title, undefeated in the division, have a bye, and a playoff game in Lambeau? spoiled rotten fans and I never thought I would say that about Packers fans.
No team has ever accepted an ugly version of the Lombardi Trophy. It's hard to win a Super Bowl.
So which is the prettiest team in the NFL?
Green Bay.

Garrapalo is pretty dreamy.

Saints and Baltimore
Last time I looked at NFL win-loss records, I didn’t see a W-U for ugly wins nor a W-P for pretty wins. Pretty sure the 2019 GBP regular-season record will always be 13-3. Simple.
Few teams can match GB record of 8-1 in games decided by 8 points or less.
You just win the fucker any way you can. A W looks the same any way you look at it in the W column.
Worst Lombardi Trophy ever.
Probably have an asterisk welded to it.
An asterisk and a 5 do look similar, I guess.
Wish we could have been the best 8-8 team ever. That would have made a lot of people happy, I think.
Personally, I find it acceptable to be very happy with a win but not happy with the play on the field during said win.
For example, C-Boy is very happy with Sunday's win because it gave them a bye and also avoided a third meeting with Minnesota. However, C-Boy was not happy with the play on the field.
I did search on Amazon for a book that would explain the proper way to be a fan but I couldn't find anything. If anybody has a book they could recommend on this topic, it would be appreciated.
Here you go:
This past season there were 7 wins (or a little over half pf the 13 wins) where the opponents tie or take the lead with another 7 points. But they didn't get those points. The scoreboard says the Packers won. So I will take them and move on.
So GB wins ugly but with great personality?

Proportional to the number of "eye-rolls" the QB1 sends toward the sideline and his teammates.
Throw the wins and losses out the window. Everybody is 0-0 starting this weekend.

You’re a fan of the journey, not the destination. Jameis Winston is your god.
