Packers worst 13-3 team ever?

Agreed. I am also a Packers fan and I agree that they are not anywhere near as good as their record indicates. They have found ways to win some games that they did not deserve to win. Aaron Rodgers is terrible now. I don't know what is wrong with him but he has gotten worse each of the last several years. Unfortunately they wasted a bunch of money on him. He will be the 5th best quarterback in the NFC playoffs. Probably the 8th or 9th best quarterback in the playoffs overall. It has been sad watching his play deteriorate so much.

This is what the Packers are.

The Lions are horrible 3-12-1.

The Packers beat the Lions twice and never led either game for 1 second.

They won both games with field goals with no time on the clock in either game.

The Packers may not be great but they are going to be Superbowl champs.

I'm a lifetime Packer fan since the 70s. The Packers are 13-3 and looked good in maybe two games, one of which they lost to Philly. Is winning ugly a good or bad sign for the playoffs? I don't know, but winning is winning.

Today, and in quite a few games this year, Rodgers was a bit off. And his receivers couldn't get open anyway. Yet they win. In the two wins against the Lions, they lead for exactly 0:00 of game time.

Just win. Not optimistic about the playoffs, but maybe they'll keep winning ugly.

You do know the Saints are better?

Pack beat the Vikes twice and the Chiefs. How bad can they be?

And eeeekkkked by the horrible Lions...twice...

Ugly wins are wins...and they kept winning...but not instilling a lot of confidence.

The 2006 Bears were 13-3 and even worse were the 2001 Bears who were 13-1.

The 2012 13-3 Broncos didn’t win a playoff game.

It doesn't matter if they're bad. They're hosting a playoff game & they get all the ref calls at Lambeau, so they're going to the NFC championship game. I've never seen a team get so many flags thrown their way as the Packers.

Here's a typical Packer game in GB.

It's 3rd and 17. Rodgers throws an incomplete pass 10 yards away from the receiver. Then 8 sec after the pass a ref throws a flag for pass interference on the defense. 1st & 10 Packers. Next play the Packers receiver pushes the defender back 5 yards to clear space & makes the catch for a TD! Then the announcer drools over how amazing Rodgers is.

You must be a fan of an NFC North team! You nailed it however, it makes me sick to my stomach.

The Chiefs didn’t have Mahomes against the Packers. I wish it was legit but they did not face the full-strength Chiefs.

I’ll bump this thread when the Pack wins the Super Bowl led by MVP Aaron Rodgers

Lol, spot on, this graphic summarizes it pretty well

facts

Well they had the weakest strength of schedule in the NFL this year. Couple that with a few lucky bounces and they win 13 games.

If Mahomes plays, and the games against the lions don't work out, they're 10-6. Still, none of their other games really came down to wire that close, so they'd still be a playoff team, and division winners actually. The defense has been pretty solid for them this season with the exception of a few slip ups.

They may not advance even to the NFC championship game, but they deserve a playoff spot IMO

No way is Green Bay going to beat New Orleans. Not a chance!

Nope. 21st toughest so 11 teams had an easier schedule than the Packers.

Maybe New Orleans is actually the worst 13-3 team?
