Dilfer beat brian griese, rich gannon, steve mcnair, and kerry collins
Johnson beat jeff garcia, donovan mcnabb, and rich gannon
Plummer didnt even win his conference, and grossman got his ass handed to him by a star qb, like joetait said.
If you think Alex Smith can win in Lambeau against Rodgers, then i dont know what to tell you.

Well, where were the studs QB when all those lesser QBs played each other?
Unless the Saints run the ball down the Packers throat, I don't see them winning in Lambeau. That's the only advantage the Saints have.
Read Joetait's post. The 'playoffs' are where stud qbs almost always prevail over lesser ones. Your post just deflects from that, since the examples you gave were qbs who beat other so-so/crap qbs.
There's only one team that can win in Lambeau in the playoffs, imo...but they probably won't even make the postseason.
Just for the of it, here were your playoff starters those years:
2000:
McNair, Gannon, Fiedler, Dilfer, Griese, and Manning. Manning was the 6th seed with a horrendous defense that gave up 200+ rushing yards to Lamar Smith (who?) in the playoffs
Collins, Culpepper, Brooks, McNabb, King, and Warner. Warner was the 6th seed with the worst defense in the league that year.
2002:
Gannon, McNair, Pennigton, Maddox, Holcomb, Manning.
McNabb, Johnson, Garcia, Collins, Favre, Vick.
Pretty weak qb pool, and the few great ones had to play road games.
Now you have Alex Smith--who's been dog for 7 years--having to go on the road against the best QB in the NFL on his turf. Green Bay's defense gives up a ton of yards, but they also lead the league in forcing turnovers.
Green Bay would skull the 49ers. In fact i'd be willing to bet that san fran doesnt win a playoff game this year.
Just look at the Steelers pre-Big Ben. They always had great defenses, great o-lines, great running games and they won a ton of games during the regular season. Then they'd get to the playoffs and get beat by teams with comparable talent and superior quarterback play- Elway, Brady, etc.
No coincidence that the Steelers made one SB appearance between Bradshaw and Big Ben and three after they acquired Big Ben.
Of course it helps to have a great QB, and that the team with the better QB usually win more games but it isn't such a sure thing as you are trying to make it seem.
green bay on thanksgiving got all the breaks and the refs won that game for them
green bay is good enough the refs do not need to hand them the wins
their home field is going to them over. their pass game will suffer like it did in the nfc championship game last year and their defense will not bail them out.
but suh will probably go ape and break aaron rodgers leg on the last game of the season if they choose to pursue perfection.
Green Bay can lose. They can lose at home, too.
Just probably won't be to San Francisco.
Saints would have a puncher's chance, IMO.
