Last year, in the February MT5 column, I wrote that the loss to the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game was a disappointing ending to a very successful season. Although both seasons ended with losses in the NFC Championship Game, I think this year's ending was even more disappointing for a number of reasons. First, although we had the same record as last year's team, this year's team was better. We had the league's top scoring offense, with Aaron Rodgers playing at an MVP level. Our defense made great strides in the second half of the season, and we were stopping the run better than in 2019. Also, we were the No. 1 seed (and the only team in the NFC with a bye) and played the NFC Championship Game at Lambeau Field. In addition, this year's game was much closer. Last year, the game was really over at halftime. This year, although we were down 28-10 early in the third quarter, we fought back and had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter. That's part of what made this loss so disappointing. We were in a position to win, but were not able to make the plays needed to win. It is easy to think of things that we could have done differently that would have led to a win. As a result, it has taken me, our players and fans a long time to get over the loss.
