QC,

What are we as casual fans allowed to do? Talk exclusivity about the victory? The Offense?

The offense in the first half was outstanding.
Jordy fantastic.
Aaron is the MVP and going into the HoF at this rate.

Ok it's done. now what?

It is not unusual or wrong or even disrespectful for fans to talk about the areas of the team that they would like to see improve. As you point out there are no perfect teams so they is always going to be room to discuss the things we have concern over. No one will ever change that.

I don't want you to stop saying what you say because it would be a pretty boring world if we agreed on every thing all the time.

But before we discuss any more of it's flaws, lets discuss the perfect teams in the league. Let's start with, um, well, the Patriots? Wait, we just beat them. So the, uh, Seahawks. Wait, they've lost more games than the Pack and have no receiving threat. Well, crud. Is there no perfect team?

This has the making of a special season. One that might end in not making the playoffs. Or maybe a first rd exit. Or possibly even a Super Bowl title. Does everyone really want to spend the season complaining about things we don't understand or control? Life is short. Enjoy the trip. Don't focus on the potholes.

We have so much goodness to embrace.
We may never have another QB in the league as great as ARod. Odds are certainly against us ever having one in GB again.
So we spend his best years complaining about what might have been?
Didn't we win?
Aren't we the odds on favorite for the #1 seed? So why is there such a feeling of despair?
This same shitty Defense has won us 10 games this year.

If someone spends the entire season whining about the Defense, if we lose the Super Bowl 36-35, do they get to gloat all winter because they were right? Who will be happier: Me because the team I embrace did extremely well or them because they were right and the team they love to criticize lost in the way they predicted?

AM 670 the Score is based out of Chicago. I used to enjoy listening to it to hear Bears/ Cubs fans whining. It's not as much fun anymore. It's too much like listening to many Packer fans.

Once again it is not unheard of in many areas of society for people to think we failed instead of the other guys succeeded. Nerdmann likes to think it is GB shitting themselves even if it ain't so. comme ci comme ça.

That said, this defense is our built in excuse if we shit ourselves. I think they are going to step up in the playoffs this year, but they sure can look miserable at times.
