The Green Bay Packers are a wildly popular pick to emerge as this year's NFC representative in Super Bowl XLV, and Packers linebacker Nick Barnett is unsurprisingly on the bandwagon.

Barnett appeared on NFL Network's Total Access program Friday night. Though Barnett admitted that "every year I think we're going to the Super Bowl," Green Bay's leading tackler segued Jamie Dukes' question about the Packers' first-half egg-laying in January's playoff loss into a prediction that the game "is just going to make our Super Bowl run that much sweeter [this] year."

Barnett gave his opinion on what went wrong in Green Bay's thrilling but ultimately season-ending, 51-45 postseason loss to Arizona.

"We run that game over and over in our head," he said. "And to be honest with you I think Kurt Warner was just on that time. We made some mistakes, but you know he picked it apart. When a quarterback's on like that he sees a mistake and ... attacks it, there's not too much you can do."

The Packers led the NFC in total defense during the 2009 regular season, so their early meltdown in the game was shocking. The Cardinals jumped out to a 17-0 first-quarter lead, and, despite some heroics from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers would never jump out in front.



I'm telling you, we will win the Super Bowl this year. Sounds like Nick agrees. 🙂

Am I the only one who wishes he hadn't done this?

I hate f "we're great!" kind of prediction.

But then again, this is the guy who used to regularly do a samurai dance if he made one great play in the fourth quarter of a losing game.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I'm more annoyed at his "Hey, we're good, but Warner was better" comment more than anything. The reason Warner was on fire was because of our lacklustre defense. The onus should be to improve on the defensive scheme and individual performances, not to dismiss what happened as an abberation of when a QB was on a hot streak. I mean, heck, everytime we get beaten it's becaues the opponent was playing lights out? Well c'mon, figure that your play might have something to do with that? I want more accountability, damnit!

SHUT UP NICK!!!!!

Quiet confidence is the way to go here. Know that your team is talented, know that your team can make a deep run in the play-offs, know that this could be a special year, but like any team that goes to the Superbowl, you have to stay reletivley injury free and the breaks must go your way.(Good teams IMHO create their breaks).

Know all this and prove it on the field, talk is cheap,go out and prove what everyone else is saying, do it on the field, not on radio or tv.

I agree with Nick. Put it all out on the field, win or die trying. It isn't that anything less than a super bowl is failure, it is that anything less than giving it your all is failure.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I think some of you are being too sensitive. Every player always says they think / hope / expect to win the super bowl every year, with the exception of a few teams. I heard Asomugha saying he thinks they have a chance but still have a long ways to go. However, most players are going to say they expect to win it all.

What else do people expect Barnett to say anyway? There is NOTHING wrong with great confidence. Just back it up on the field. I'm confident this team is doing their best to do just that and have no problem with the confidence.

He always said he thinks they are going to the Super Bowl every year. I don't see the uproar in his comments. From what I remember he was asked something about how the loss hurt in the Wild Card game, his reply was it'll make the Super Bowl run this year be that much better. Then said he thinks they're going to the Super Bowl every year.
