Why Lambeau Field is bad for the Packers
The 2007 Green Bay Packers were great team, seemingly destined for a Super Bowl showdown with the undefeated New England Patriots. While the Pats were off-the-charts good, destroying the league with a +315 point differential and leading in every major or minor statistical category, Green Bay was the class of the NFC with a +144 PD. They outscored every other NFC team except the Cowboys, who, like the Packers, also went 13-3. The Packers were 5th in offensive DVOA, and Brett Favre had one of his most efficient seasons ever, finishing 3rd in DYAR behind only Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and 4th in DVOA (David Garrard had a sneaky-efficient year, landing in the number 2 spot behind Brady.)
