Dynasty

[red]

The bar has been raised. I think this should be a minimum 6-peat.

one of my all time favorite skits

i find it absolutely amazing when you think about it. the bulls had just won their first title, and the one guy jokingly said "we're talking about a minimum 8-peat". and everyone laughs

well jordan and the bulls won the title 6 out of 8 years, the only years they didn't win it was the season and a half jordan spent playing baseball. if jordans dad hadn't been killed, then he wouldn't have retired for the first time, and if that doesn't happen, then the bulls very well could have done an 8-peat

It's back up now. Perry said he hasn't been contacted. Moss did more talking, especially about how coaches of teams in the playoffs can't interview for coaching positions.

Didn't like the way Moss answered the questions, looks like he's looking for an opportunity to bolt.

I was surprised only an HC offer is considered a promotion. I would've thought going from a position coach to a co-ordinator job (OC or DC) would be considered a promotion.

It does kind of suck the way coaches on teams that are out of the playoffs can interview and fill open positions, while those still in the playoffs can not. I think Moss is wrong though, the answer is not to have a time period where they can interview. You need to prepare for an interview like that, so the prep time would take time away from coaching duties.

They should just say that there is no interviewing until the season is over. There's no reason to need to get someone in place 3 weeks earlier.

Too bad for me, I can't see the video outside of the USA.

As far as the topic is concerned, I can understand why posters are thinking/hoping/praying dynasty. The ingredients to be great for a long time are here, but not certain. If one or two coaches get hired away, some chemistry will go with them.

If Finley goes all TO, chemistry changes. If CMIII wants an early pay rise, chemistry changes. If they can't find another Bulaga to replace Cliffy, chemistry changes. I'm still not convinced College belongs in a Dynasty-like OL. Nor do I believe Campen is a coach for a Dynasty-like OL.

Age is on the Packers' side, but DD is no spring chicken. Neither is Woodson. They are both leaders, on-field coaches that are one play away from a career-ending injury maybe. See Al Harris. You can possibly replace their skills (Williams, Shields), but what about their locker room presence? Their aura in the huddle?

All this, plus the fact that we don't even know what the trade talks will produce. And, did anyone mention those other 31 teams that also have an interest in a Packer non-Dynasty? Have we all forgotten the divisional record this season? Lemme remind you: losses against Chicago and Detroit, and they were lucky to beat Detroit in the first game. And, despite the win last week, see the second half as evidence that they were lucky to win it.

Dynasty? I'm not seeing it. I'll take this Super Bowl win if they get it, rather than the two in the bush if they don't.

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...-trade-request

Palmer wants out of Cinnci. The guy has been synonomous with that ball club for how long? Now, I'm not suggesting the Bengals are in danger of becoming a Dynasty, but it highlights my point. We fans just don't know what makes these players tic. Why Palmer wants out isn't stipulated, but, I for one, didn't see this coming.

We'll see how it pans out. Young talent, coaching stablity, organizational stability. They have all of the ingredients. That's what has so many Packer fans excited about not only this Sunday, but for the foreseeable future as well. There are 3 eggs in the nest and they started to move a little. We're excited that the chicks might hatch. Could something bad happen? Sure. Is it exciting that everything seems to be going according to plan? Absolutely. That's being a Packer fan. It's fun.

[Tarlam!]

That's being a Packer fan. It's fun.

I haven't been a Packer fan as long as everybody on this board. I bet I have as much fun as you all, though! Great feeling waking up each morning and bleeding G&G!!

[Fritz]

You wake up bleeding, Tar, and you think it feels great?

I heard you Aussies were tough.

Yup. Sometimes the most optimistic folks are right!

If I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and ten minutes later I have to go again, is that a Pee-Peat?

.....he's just an ostensibly pugnacious but vapid and vacuous incohate hotspur ..........

I have no idea what that even means. But I might use it on Woody anyway.

I loved the bears skit, and I agree, anything can happen. I think if Wolf had stayed on, and Holmgren would have been cool as coach, we may have one another, or made a couple more at least.

I think that only 2 things can hurt us.

1) MM and/or TT retire or something like that
2) Somehow the new collective bargaining agreement makes it impossible for us to keep the core of the team together.

Oh, and 3) Rodgers is so prone to concussions or some other ailment he can't be our QB of the future.

It's amazing how a Dynasty can hinge on little things. Take Gilbert Brown. If he doesn't get hurt at SF in the Divisional round in '95, perhaps he's a better run stopper at Dallas. If Tampa Bay and Indy don't deliberately cut block and injure him twice in '97, perhaps he doesn't get gassed and is more effective against Denver in SBXXXII.

Also, in SB XXXII, tied 24-24, Favre overthrows Freeman, but just a few plays later, he has Brooks wide open, and his arm gets hit slightly just at the last second to hold the ball up just enough for the safety to close the distance - otherwise it's 31-24 Pack. The difference between Dynasty and 'Fart in the Wind.' Life can be very unfair (at least from our perspective!).

[MadtownPacker]

JH you are a dumbass for talking stupid shit but I agree, what is the point of this place if you cant dream big or sink low? With that said I think a dynasty is gonna be harder and harder to have in today's NFL. For all you know the Packers end up like Marino's Dolphins going up against one of the best teams of their decade and never get back. I dont think so but a dynasty seems unlikely for any team not just this one.

[Freak Out]

Fucking buzz kill.
