Does XLV Really Count? · PACKERSHOME

Yeah, I know we overcame alot of injuries and stuff and were even favored to go all the way before the season, but was our SB really good enough? I just thought we underperformed for much of the season and lost to teams we should have dominated. Mike McCarthy 's teams always have to go through that midseason slump. I mean let's face it, we barely squeaked into the playoffs.
We didn't really get to lord it over other fans and I never really felt confident that we were gonna slam dunk it. In '96, we blew teams out.

No, it wasn't. We actually got just half a Lombardi trophy and they put an asterisk next to us in the record books.

The fact that we lost the games that we should have destroyed the other teams shows a lack of mental preparation and focus. The fact that we won the games when they mattered toward the end of the season and into the playoffs, that shows that we are able to play with anybody and deserve the title of SB XLV Champions. Yes it was good enough. Just because we became complacent a few times does not mean that we didn't deserve the trophy.

Unlike other SB champions, the Packers faced 6 "playoff" games to win it all. That said, if you win 6 in a row at this point of the season, you obviously deserve the VL trophy. Period.

I guess the fluke elimination the year before at 'Zona makes us even.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Yes it counts.

Now try this:

1) Hold your breath and shut your nose
2) Pass out
3) Have some kind of out of body/religious experience that make you FUCKING APPRECIATE THAT WE WON THE SUPER BOWL AND NOT COMPLAIN SO MUCH ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME
