Packers Can Thank Bucs For Super Bowl Win
February 7th, 2011
It was late in the season. The Bucs needed to beat the lowly Lions at home to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Instead, the Bucs played down to the level of the Lions, which is just below street level. Playing-not-to-lose offense and an invisible defense late in the game allowed the toothless Lions to tie the game and win the game in overtime.
Because of that, the Packers are hungover from last night’s Super Bowl-winning celebration this morning.
The Packers eecked out a tiebreaker with the Bucs to make the playoffs as the NFC’s No. 6 seed.
And what does the Pack do? Run the table and put up 21 points off Steelers turnovers to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy back to its roots in snowy, frigid Wisconsin.
The Packers should give each Bucs player a stipend from their Super Bowl winnings, or last least let the Bucs touch the Lombardi Trophy. For it was the Bucs not showing up on a cloudy, dreary Sunday in Tampa against a rotten ball club that allowed the Packers to get into the postseason, setting up their historic run.
Kudos cheeseheads.

Or the Packers can thank the rebuilding since 1957 Detroit Lions for beating the rebuilding since 2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

That rotten ball club beat the Packers the week before our game and won their last four games.Without Talib we had no answer for Calvin Johnson.Not to mention the Winslow touchdown blown by the refs.
Who they should thank is Maurice Stovall for watching Grimes run back a kick-off instead of pushing him out of bounds when he had the chance.Amazing how one play can change the outcome of a season.

Lakeland Bob doesn’t know the difference between Brent Grimes and Eric Weems…
Packers owe more to the sh*tty officiating in the Lions Bucs game, than anything else….

Chris B- the Bucs suck? Lay off the hard drugs dude. When’s the last time the lambs won 10 games in a season? Lmao- That’s like a 3 year win total for Detriot- nice city too, by the way- if ya like demilitarized Zones. I agree they have accumulated some talent- drafting in the top ten for the last few decades will do that! Nice recieving Corp! I like Matthew Stafford. He could really help turn it around. Unfortunately/ Ignorantly, they draft DTs and keep
Letting their franchise QB get ground into the turf, then IR! Anybody ever think about a LT? Or is Jeff “free pass” Backus the best idea the lambs came up with? How’s that working for ya? Who’s kid is he?- gotta be some one in lamb management! Yeah Chris- genius call there! Meybe Josh Freeman will invite Matt to the SuperBowl when we go, if Matty doesn’t have any surgeries scheduled!
