So you believe that if the Packers were pitted against, say, the Patriots or Falcons, they would win a majority of times?
I think you're ignoring a lot of contextual aspects -- not to mention a certain measure of luck -- in making your sweeping statements.

The 2010 Packers ARE world class. They will be playing the Steelers in two weeks to decide which team is the best in the world. Win OR lose, they are world class.
They are in the SUPER BOWL (!!!!!!) with 16 players on IR.
They have accomplished this year what NO OTHER TEAM IN THE SUPER BOWL ERA has accomplished, and only 3 teams have accomplished since 1942--they have never trailed by more than 7 points at any time throughout the season, win or lose. edit: And that includes the 2007 New England Patriots, who dropped behind New York by 12 pts in their opening season game before rallying to win.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=8534 Green Bay's six losses were by a combined total of 21 pts. The Seahawks? Their 10 losses AVERAGED 21 pts per loss.
Are they perfect? No. They have issues. Are they the best team ever? No. But are they world class??? ABSOLUTELY.
And to answer your question, yes I do think they'd beat the Patriots and the Falcons a majority of the time. We almost beat the Patriots in their own stadium with the #1 QB standing on the sidelines, while accumulating a 40-20 min time of possession advantage. And we DID beat the Falcons in their own stadium after they had two weeks to rest and prepare for the game. Given this team, this year, I think we'd beat them like a drum.
+1, especially for the part of never trailing by more than 7 points. That's pretty ***** amazing. :thumbright:
