24 Quarters to History

[yooperfan]

It was about this time last year that the Packers had to win out in order to become a champion. If I remember right McCarthy had broken down the rest of the season in quarters to reach their goal. Is there a similiar plan this year?

The Packers are fairly healthy, the depth of the team is coming through again when needed, Rogers is on a historic tear, seeing the end of the tunnel will bring out the best in this team.

I'm excited and nervous.

I wonder if Nick Barnett will tweet about it.

Good thought behind this thread.

Only issue I see is that Rodgers plays better indoors and the Packers have no running game of any notoriety. Having two Lambeau games last should do something in the way of conditioning the team. Also, the additional income for the club is welcome(speaking as a shareholder).

Can't wait to get Jennings back. he's like my secutity blankett.

Perfect season = Makes Packer legacy stronger = Tons of new fans = Tons of stock sales = Tons of kids of the new fans being fans some day = Grand kids of the kids of the new fans being packer fans some day = very, very, very significant thing for the right now, but expecially the long term sustainability of the Packers in Green Bay. The most unique franchise in pro sports has a chance to add to its awesomeness.

SB is great. Perfect season is a bigger deal than I think most people let on.

Winning back-to-back Super Bowls would make this a memorable team. Doing it undefeated would be historic. Becoming the 1st team to win 3 consecutive Super Bowls, ( as well as the 1st team since the 65-67 Packers to win 3 NFL Titles in a row) would make them one of the NFL's legendary teams.

Packers are fine in the cold. Since 2009 they're 6-0 at Lambeau in December and January, winning by about 22 ppg. Rodgers has averaged 290 yards passing with 14 TD's and 4 INT's. Packers have averaged about 115 yards rushing in those games. Bears are the only team that has been able to shut them down much.

I think people are still a little haunted by the NFCCG against the Giants a few years ago. Favre froze up in the 2nd half of that game. Rodgers won't.

Doing it undefeated would make them legendary. Doing it three times in a row would make them The Best Team Ever IMO.

Yeah, I'm tired of hearing radio people talk about the Packers not built for cold weather because of their playoff performance last year. The Packers are built to 'be better than you' and the weather won't matter where the hell they're better. I've seen the argument for the 49ers in Lambeau and I really doubt any team is going to run their way to the Super Bowl. This ain't your daddy's NFL.

Plus all you had to do was see Favre's face in that NFCCG to know he didn't want to be there. That was pathetic, even before his season-ending interception.

That's what make things so nerve racking and exciting at the same time. but not losing a game for a full year is just astounding and can't help but just enjoy this.

during the modern era

It is very difficult to compare eras. The '62 team had more dominating wins, but only had to win once after the regular season to win the championship.

They would beat the shit out of any team from the old days (at the very least) due to size differences.

That, and they'd be sober.

Very obvious.
