They still had a chance and were playing for their playoff lives at the time. I just think you can't only discount the games that you want and keep bringing up one game that the defending champs needed to have to stay alive for the playoffs,

i'm not dis-counting games
my feeling is that this defense will have to make some plays in the playoffs to advance
it maybe this sunday , it maybe rd 2 . it mabye the nfc title game , but , there will be a spot in the playoffs where the defense will have to win a game for them as rodgers won't be able to put the team on his back all the way to miami
the defense has played well at times , but , to think they are the 2nd best unit in the league is hysterical if you look deeply at their schedule and realize that cleveland , detroit , san fran , seattle , and chicago won't be on the slate . most likely the slate will include warner , brees and favre , maybe romo or mcnabb - do you see the defense doing it 3 weeks in a row againstthis caliber of competetion - i don't
