Green Bay, Wis ? Neither Mike Holmgren nor the Green Bay Packers have had much success in the playoffs since they parted ways five years ago.

Both expect to change that today when Seattle visits Lambeau Field for a NFC wild-card playoff game.

Holmgren, who led Green Bay to two Super Bowls in the 1990s, went to the playoffs his first year in Seattle, but lost in the first round and only returned to the postseason this year.

The Packers have won just one playoff game since Holmgren left. Many of Holmgren’s 11 holdovers in Green Bay didn’t even realize the extent of the drought.

“That surprises me, when you sit back and look at it,” nose tackle Gilbert Brown said.

The Packers (10-6) do have more playoff experience than the Seahawks (10-6) — a combined 166 games compared to the Seattle’s 75.

All but 16 Packers have experienced the postseason, led by quarterback Brett Favre, who is starting for the 18th time in the playoffs.

Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is among 37 playoff novices on Seattle’s roster.

That’s why Holmgren sported one of his three Super Bowl rings during the week and invited any of his players to his office to talk about what to expect in the playoffs.

Holmgren has coached in 25 playoff games, 10 as an assistant in San Francisco, where he won two Super Bowls, and 15 as a head coach, including 14 in Green Bay, where he won the NFL title after the 1996 season.

Holmgren went 5-0 in the playoffs at Lambeau Field.
