This is the position we need to take as fans.

The Packers won.

They're 2-1.

People might try to say otherwise, the standings might not show it, but the Packers are 2-1.

3 wins in a row Sunday against the Saints hopefully! Go Pack Go!

Bleh, though it may be true, it's still denial. It makes someone look like a Vikings fan.

We didn't get the win. We're 1-2. Yet, we don't need to pretend we are. But it is true, for the first time in Packers (and maybe NFL history), the better team TRULY lost. We're a 2-1 team with a 1-2 record. Yet, this team doesn't need to believe they are 2-1. They need to remember, they have to keep working harder. Yet, for being the better team, they are 2-1.

So, the Packers go 14 - 2 instead of 15 - 1 this season. Doesn't matter, as long as they win the Super Bowl.

Who cares what the team needs to believe. They'll be fine. They'll make the playoffs, and whatever happens there happens there.

But as a fan, my team is 2-1 right now and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Insert rather large chip upon the teams shoulder.

In fact, let's look at the past 5 years.
2007 - Wild Card team beats the first 16-0 team in NFL history
2008 - Tennessee Titans were the dominant team in the AFC although Steelers only one game behind them. Steelers barely beat a hungry NFC WC team
2009 - "Best teams" from each conference play and one beats the other
2010 - Hungry WC team who barely squeaked into the Playoffs wins the SB. The "best teams" were the Pats and the Falcons, neither of which even made the SB.
2011 - Dominant 15-1 team goes one and done in the Playoffs. 9-7 team beats best team in the opposing conference.

So throw all conventional wisdom out the door. Besides 2009, it's been the hungry team winning the SB, not the "best" team.

All I ask is that we make the Playoffs. From there, anything can happen. I'd rather be 1-2 and pissed off with a chip on my shoulder and something to prove.

I just don't like how this team uses up it's margin of error.

I'm just focused on us winning the division right now. This game might hurt us in the long run, but I sure hope it doesn't. I know we were able to make the playoffs in 04 with a 1-4 start.

2-1.... 1-2... Means nothing in the weak NFC North. There are 13 more game days.

One thing I can tell you all, is that The Green Bay Packers "Are not the 16th best team in the NFL right now." 16th? Wow.
