When you make it to the remaining four, you have obviously done something right. If they continue to play like they have been, there should be another trophy headed for the case.

Three of the four teams are not going to win the trophy, though.
When you get to this level, and there is no one-standout, dominant team, then the games come down to the lucky bounces (the tipped pass that gets intercepted rather than falling harmlessly, etc), injuries (SB XLV went down hill after the injuries to Woodson, etc), who has the ball last (us last week!)...
I like our odds a little better against the Falcons than I did against the Cowboys, but trophy headed for the case? At this level it only takes one play to go the other team's way and you're out.
I'm not going to consider it a trophy headed for the case until the last second has ticked off of the 4th Quarter of the SB and we've recreated either SB XXXI (where we beat the Patriots) or SB XLV (where we beat the Steelers).
The Packers have weathered a boatload of injuries, both offense (Lacy, Starks, etc) and defense (Shields, etc). The fact that we're in the final four is a testament to the players, coaches, and GM on the team.
