Why must they torture us? - What is it about the Packers the last few years that they continually find ways to make what should be "easy" wins really hard? I know, nothing is easy in the NFL - but all winning teams usually pop out a laugher now and then. Not the Packers.
The Belichick factor - Of course, in this game, we have to acknowledge that the Packers were up against the greatest football coach since Vince Lombardi. He has regularly found ways to win when the odds were stacked against his team, like last January when he had his offense run 46 times with only 3 passes to beat the Buffalo Bills.
