With the Green Bay Packers’ vast slate of changes in the coaching staff and front office over the last few weeks, I decided to take a look back through the team’s playoff disappointments going back to 2011. What I found looking into one season in particular enlightened me to perhaps the Packers’ biggest missed opportunity of the last seven seasons.
It’s odd to think of 2012 as the season that the Packers had their best chance to win the Super Bowl since 2010, but it just might be true. And in a way, either one of a pair of last-second losses that season cost Green Bay a terrific shot at another Super Bowl title.
