Will Packers Shake Off Loss in NFC Championship Game?

Losing is always difficult for NFL teams. However, losing a Conference Championship may be the most difficult. At least when you appear in the Super Bowl, you managed to make it to the big stage, regardless of the outcome. You at least get the shot to take home the Lombardi Trophy.

Many teams have lost in the Conference Championship and never truly recover from such devastating losses. It will be interesting to see how mentally tough this Packers team is.

The Packers were a team that snuck up on people last season. They had a rookie head coach, an offense that only had one star wideout, and a defense that went under the radar. Now, Green Bay has a target on its back. Is that going to affect them this year? Knowing Aaron Rodgers and company, they will come out very well prepared.

Having no preseason really could play a big part in this game as well. Often, the preseason helps teams build some confidence going into the regular season. However, the last time we saw Green Bay, they were getting blown out by the 49ers.

There are two main ways this could end up going. Either the Packers crumble under pressure, or they come out angry and out to prove something. The latter seems to be the msot likely of the scenarios.
