Xmas present to wife, who's never been to Lambeau and wanted a piece of this magical season.
ARod's career-high 5 passing TDs and first time GB ever wins 14 games and only second time it clinches home-field-advantage-throughout-the-playoffs. Plus, first time ever we beat Bears 4 times in calendar year (we also were at NFC Championship at Soldier Field last Jan).
Others: Driver becomes 36th receiver in NFL history to top 10,000 yards, and ARod breaks nearly 3-decade-old passing yardage record of Lynn Dickey (early 1980s).
Real nice seats behind Pack bench, on left 40-yard-line, and a surprisingly warm night - not onerous at all as far as the cold war concerned.
I did not think they would win the SB last year (felt they were a year early) and feel like Ted Thompson, the GM, erred a bit on the side of offense this off-season - over the far weaker defense, but who knows? I think they have a great opportunity to repeat, and that's all you can ask for.
Whom do I fear? Saints and Pats are our mirror images. The Ravens, Steelers and 49ers are more polar opposites, with the Steelers probably providing the worst match-up (strong-enough O, always strong D).
Then again, I would have said the same thing last year.
