Please Explain Something To Me

Only if he admits ahead of time that a given season will be his last.

For the rats like me that live outside of Wisco (to make things worse for me, within the local market of another NFL team) this beyond expectations season means more televised games next year. That is something worth looking forward to next year all by itself.

Absolutely! I'm in the same boat. Great point.

It is depressing Chevelle2, I assume you're younger because over the years I've learned not to build up too high of expectations in the playoff games, all the experts predicted the Packers to win because it was cold and in Lambeau, but it's cold in NY too and the Giants were on a 9 game winning streak on the road, so I was hopeful but braced myself from past losses. Still, it wasn't like the Packers got smoked, the game went into OT, and the Pack was one or two plays from being in the Super Bowl. The good news is the 2nd youngest team in the league got playoff experience, they extended the contract of the GM Ted Thompson and probably will extend the contract of the head coach Mike McCarthy, and I believe the Packers will be even better next year and will be in the Super Bowl, they just aren't ready right now. If it was easy then it wouldn't be as much fun, seriously. As for now, I'm rooting for the Giants!

What I meant was that for several years they have been doing it because "it could be his last". they will keep doing it, because one of these years they will be right!

Until he is gone or fades miserably, they will get a few prime time games just because of Favre. They get a few more if the team is good.

chev I see were you are coming from.... You feel like the team is destined to go all the way... Its like someone just punched you in the stomach over and over and over... This one will take about 2-3 years to forget about (like 4th and 26)... They need to get back to the playoffs soon so this doesn't stick in my head forever...
