Who said I wasn't entertained? I said earlier I was ecstatic with the win. However, I don't watch just to watch regular season football. If I wanted to get all geeked up about meaningless wins, I'd be a huge college football fan which I'm not.

I do wish to be entertained... the ultimate entertainment is watching a SB win. This helps in that quest so I respect what it might mean and what it does mean. I just prioritize bigger goals like Rodgers said in his presser. Goals are much bigger than beating NE at home in Week 13. Do you think Aaron will be disappointed if they don't win it all? Would you tell him to just be entertained and not worry about them not winning it all because it's so hard to do?

As said earlier...on to Atlanta prep. This game is over. I enjoyed it. Next.

It isn't either you enjoy the regular season or you don't care if GB wins the superbowl, you can do both.

Wrong implication. You implied that I can't enjoy it...now. I can. I did. I will not look back and enjoy it if we lose out in the playoffs. I'm not sure what is so difficult to understand about that?

Right...it was a HUGE win. HUGE. Very happy with the defense who finally shutdown a real QB. First time all season. It was a start and validation that Clay to the middle can work against a great offense and without our top CB.

Our O was dreadful in the redzone where a guy like Jimmy Graham would look so good. I had a big Bears fan say to me today... "If Packers had a TE and a defense nobody could touch them." or something to that effect. Couldn't agree more. No TE really hurt us today. Yes, RR caught a TD pass but we have no consistent legit threat there and it hurts. It will show vs. a team like Seattle should we have to face them again.

Our D is still not trustworthy to me. Blount was carrying guys today. He looked like he was down and there he was 8 yards down the field. Tramon Williams is maddening to watch. The day he and Hawk walk I will dance. DL played pretty well vs. a below average Pats OL. 1 sack but it came when it mattered most.

I feel like we should get to the show if we don't have to face Seattle...or SF, if they somehow get in there barring no injuries. Don't set it up to win it all and then gag it.

It's about time more of you accepted the obvious. This team has been a contender all season. They had a couple of bad games, but there was no way this team wasn't going to be competing in the playoffs. Nothing is guaranteed. Frankly, I still think the 49'ers and Seahawks would move the ball with ease against the Packers. But, the Packers could definitely beat those teams, or any other team. It's more than just an "any given Sunday" thing, too. The Packers are a very good team. If they play anywhere close to their potential, it will be incredibly difficult for any team to stop them.

Let's hope they can lock up home field advantage throughout the playoffs, because the Lambeau mystique is back! Let's hope the stars align again!

The question was "Contender or Pretender", not "does this win by itself make it a great season?" or whatever else some are reading into the game.

Limited to those two choices, it's a no brainer now. The wisdom was in recognizing that Contender status a few weeks ago when the question was asked. Of course, there are a lot of contenders and only one ultimate winner. It's gonna take a helluva lot more good football to reach that point. I, for one, thoroughly expect that to happen, though.

This was a HUGE win against an excellent opponent. Without wins now there wouldn't even be a chance at the playoffs. And staying a game ahead of the Lions is also huge.
Keep the train rolling!!!

Z made his proclamation about nobody chirping up now that the Packers were so all of a sudden powerful. I decided to interject after a long period of restraint.

I don't want to be a full time poster here. I should've just tarried my presence.

Ultimately, I, as a fan, am in a similar spot as I was when I was really slamming this team. I want to see if this team can prove it's not a one game blunder. Now, I'm reading that much like the 15-1 season we're the best team in football. Hoping to avoid the same fate when we were the "best" a few seasons ago. Prove it... when it really, really matters. Today, was nice. I don't see a ring ceremony in our future because of the big win Sunday.

Let's just hope this gang wins when it matters not the 13th week of the regular season. The Patriots understand that and their fans, too. I'm not sure our fan base understands it quite like they do.

Encouraged for sure...
