There you go again Zero. Being satisfied with the division championship. Settling for another playoff loss. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending nothing is wrong. Putting up with incompetent leadership. Content with making the playoffs, proud of substandard play, Happy with being good ... lets see, did I miss anything? Oh yeah, the most important one, being a reasonable fan who can appreciate a great effort on the season as a whole put forth by a team who played its heart out when its back was against the wall. A fan who realizes that not winning the SB means the team may have failed to win the SB but that doesn't mean the season was a failure. I'm as guilty as you are.

Seems some just talk out both sides of their mouths just to push their personal agendas.
Every year we make our predictions and what would be deemed a successful season.
I read these predictions and they ran anywhere from 6-10 to 16-0(that was me 😁 )
Everyone, of course wants The Packers to win The Super Bowl at the beginning of EVERY year, but most do understand that reality is it's not going to happen.
Most seasons are going to end in disapointment.
That doesn't mean the season wasn't a success.
Did The Packers meet the expectations that they and the fans were hoping for? No
They faced early adversity, some on this forum wrote them off after 10 games.
Thankfully The Packers wouldn't listen, they came together as a team and made one of the most improbable and impressive runs in recent history.
The Packers ran out of healthy players and made the early mistakes(missed FG, fumble, couple of dropped passes) that they could not afford to do against a high powered Falcon team that was playing to get to the Super Bowl for the 1st time in 18 years.
Accept it, for one game, The Packers were out manned, out coached, and out played.
The 2016 Packers finished 10-6 in the regular season.
The 2016 Packers won The North Division .
The 2016 Packers made a deep playoff run going 2-1.
ENJOY THE GAME!!!
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
