Ask the 2010 Falcons.

I believe it was another collapse from Houston, though. They ended up rebuilding afterward because Warren Moon was pushing 40. Rodgers is in the prime of his career, so I don't think the Packers are going to go full blown Houston Oilers for at least another eight or nine years.

I see a repeat of the late 90's and early 2000's, with favre still in his prime we did alot of playoffs but lost right away. Get ready folks it has started with the years of playoff losses.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Well...making the playoffs still beats the heck out of the 1970s and 80s, when we were thrilled just to get ONE win.

What happened against the Seahawks is the Packers literally didn't play the full 60 minutes. They had double digit lead with something like ~4 minutes to go and they started (figuratively) telling family members how many Super Bowl tickets they could get and before they knew it, they had to march down the field just to hope for a FG to tie the game for over time.

The Packers let themselves sit on autopilot and it came back and bit their asses off.

They will make the playoffs next year and I wouldn't be surprised to see them steamroll the piss out of the competition after opening the season very slow at 3 - 3.

Aaron Rodgers said post game "When I go back and think about it, I think at times we just weren't playing as aggressive as we usually are." and you damn well know Rodgers was just doing as coach told him to. Rodgers is very smart and very respected when it comes to procuring the game plan.

This cruise control Packers where they count their chickens before they hatch, will not happen again under Mike McCarthy.

I hope you are right, Kevin.
You would think by now, that they would have learned that lesson.

I agree with your take.
I would hope to see some changes to help facilitate that long overdue change in thinking.
1. I would like to see McCarthy turn full time play calling over to his offensive coordinator and McCarthy become a game managing head coach. I think the play calling duties too often takes his head out of the game as a whole.
2. I would like to see his coaching staff "shaken" up. I'm looking at Slocum and Campen particularly. I believe Capers will retire.

It's not an apples to apples comparison. The 92 Oilers had a whole bunch of dysfunctional problems long before the playoffs. They were a team on the verge of falling apart internally before the collapse happened, and it was by sheer talent that they were in the playoffs at all.

The 2014 Packers were much more of a team, were much more in synch with their coaches and none of our coaches tried to deck each other during a game.

I see this much more like the 84 Bears who got embarrassed in the championship game against SF but KNEW they weren't going to fall in 85.

No one in the NFC scares me going into next year and I know we were a few close what-ifs from a Super Bowl having to play on the road against big bad Seattle. I say this strengthens the teams resolve, it doesn't put the dagger in a collapsing team the way the Oilers loss in 92 did.
