The Green Packers have been in the playoffs in four of the past five season, spanning the final season of Brett Favre, the passing of the baton to Aaron Rodgers and a Super Bowl win in 2010.
RealGM has been using a statistic called the Trench Counter to rank NFL teams since the 2007 season.
The Trench Counter accounts for average yards per pass, yards per carry, penalty yards, first downs and turnovers to determine how well teams control the game in the most meaningful ways.
The Packers rank 3rd in Trench Counter from the 2007 season through 2011.
Below are Green Bay’s season-by-season rankings, Trench Counter totals and actual record in parentheses.
2007: 10th, +2.8 (13-3)
