the Pack has been playing some great ball. would love to see that third game.
I always think it’s tough to beat a team 3 times in one year. However, I like our odds at home. I’d love to see the NFC championship game of Vikes vs. Pack at the dumper dome!! But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. WE have two more wins to rack up for that to happen and a Carolina arse kicking to the saints!! I need a puff, puff pass icon.
This was 1st said by a coach during the 4 team playoff format and became part of “football lore”. The truth is, it is rare that a team gets the opportunity to beat a team for the 4th time. If both teams are good enough for the playoffs, usually they split during the regular season.
The truth is, in 15 3rd chance for a win match ups, the 2-0 team is 12-3. So, it is hard to get to that game, it isnt hard to win it.
