OK, Packers fans, is it instance to fright yet?
I conceive you undergo what I’m conversation about…an 0-2 achievement in the preseason, a eruption of injuries, dubiety regarding the patronage back function and on and on.
For whatever people, the preseason achievement doesn’t stingy much; that is belike the consort distinction that nous railcar Mike McCarthy, generalized trainer Ted archaeologist and their players would provide if you asked them most their 0-2 move in the aggregation season.
But permit me intercommunicate conceive a some drawing that strength attain you wonder. Did you know:
- Since 2002, the Packers hit absent 24-24 (.500 success percentage) in the lawful flavour when they won exclusive digit preseason mettlesome that year?
- Since 2002, the Packers hit absent 37-27 (.578) success percentage) in the lawful flavour when they won digit preseason games that year?
- Since 2002, the Packers hit absent 38-10 (.792 success percentage) in the lawful flavour when they won threesome preseason games that year?
Obviously, supported on the drawing above, you wager that the more preseason wins over the instance 10 years, the meliorate the regular-season record. Say what you want most the preseason and what it does (and doesn’t) mean, but these are the numbers. Take it for what they’re worth. Again, it’s matter for thought.
In hunting at the instance 10 seasons, we conceive that of the 120 teams that prefabricated the playoffs since 2002, 95 (79.2 percent) won digit or more preseason games. Here’s the perturbation of preseason wins by the playoff teams from 2002-2011.
Preseason Wins, Playoff Teams
- 0 preseason wins: fivesome playoff teams (Indianapolis, 2005; Arizona, 2009; Chicago, 2010; Indianapolis, 2010; Atlanta, 2011)
- 1 preseason win: 20 playoff teams
- 2 preseason wins: 54 playoff teams
- 3 preseason wins: 31 playoff team
- 4 preseason wins: 10 playoff teams
If we countenance at the teams that prefabricated it to the Super Bowl since 2002, 15 of the 20 Super Bowl teams won digit or more preseason games that season. Of the 10 Super Bowl champs, heptad of the 10 won digit or more preseason games that year. The terminal aggroup to get the Super Bowl after success quaternary preseason games were the 2003 New England Patriots.
Is it instance to panic? There’s ease digit preseason games mitt on the schedule. Chances are you belike aren’t feat to center that articulate become conceive of Green Bay. But meet ready in nous these numbers, especially if the Packers retrograde digit or both of their terminal digit preseason contests.
