2007: Packers 33, Chiefs 222008: Packers 24, Vikings 19
Sloppy games for many reasons, with the Packers prevailing in both.
2007: Packers 31, Panthers 17
2008: Cowboys 27, Packers 16
In both contests, the winning team held a lead for most of the game.
2007: Packers 37, Lions 26
2008: Packers 48, Lions 25
In both games, the Packers seemed to have it wrapped up in the fourth quarter before the Lions made a comeback. The Packers responded quickly and put the game out of reach.
2007: Cowboys 37, Packers 27
2008: Buccaneers 30, Packers 21
The Packers are never really in either of these games, mostly due to losing their starting quarterback. In the Cowboys game, Favre was replaced by Rodgers. Matt Flynn took over for Rodgers in the Buccaneers game.
2007: Packers 38, Raiders 7
2008: Packers 37, Bears 3
An all around brilliant effort from the Packers at Lambeau.
2007: Bears 35, Packers 7
2008: Saints 51, Packers 29
Packers are embarrassed in every way possible.
Games yet to find their doppelganger:
2007: Packers 34, Vikings 0 - Shutout performance, or at least another dominating effort.
2007: Packers 33, Rams 14 - Packers cruise on the road (I'm thinking the Jacksonville game).
2007: Packers 34, Lions 13 - Packers roll over the Lions in a meaningless game.
Are the Packers that much worse of a team than they were last year? I don't really think so. Because of the regression of both McCarthy and the defense, this is pretty much the same squad. The problem is last year, the Packers were able to catch the breaks to advance all the way to the NFC Championship.
This year, they're already 5-8, with their season essentially over.
