Official Packers vs. Vikings II Discussion Thread

I'm guessing the Cardinals...they've been around forever and have been losers almost the entire time.

Ya, the sadsack, snakebitten Browns we all know and love were not always the case. They were winning franchise for a lot of years, especially the 40's and 50's.

What about the Lions? Also long lived, also mostly futility.

That's my guess. The line seems to track the ups and downs I recall for the Lions record since the 1960's.

Not sure...but wouldn't the Lions have looked a little more impressive than that bottom line shows during the Barry Sanders era? Even more recently they have been a solid team and I would think should show a more sizeable uptick in recent years. The Lions may be the second lowest line on the graph during the past 2 decades or so.

The bottom line plummets in both the 90s and 00s...which IMO represents a Cardinals team that first had to face the epic Cowboys teams of the 90s and then got moved over into the NFC West and had to face the ridiculous Rams teams of the early 00s.
