Yes, Wist rings a truth bell until you point out that 2 years ago the Packers won the Super Bowl with the same GM, HC and DC that they have now. He'll chalk that up to luck or moon phases or something.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

There are Packerrats on this board that have never been cognizant of the Green Bay Packers as losers. They've known nothing but success. I endured the 70's and 80's... I've earned my stripes.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostYes, Wist rings a truth bell until you point out that 2 years ago the Packers won the Super Bowl with the same GM, HC and DC that they have now.

To me, winning another one in fairly short order would validate the first one more... not "moon phases", everything simply fell our way; and everyone played out of their minds. I enjoyed that win just like all Packer fans did - I wanna win another one. Been a pretty tough row to hoe since Kansas City smacked us around though.wist

Several rats endured the 70's and 80's like you did. That's partly why this run - from Wolf to now, excepting a few bad years, has been so sweet.Originally posted by wist43 View PostThere are Packerrats on this board that have never been cognizant of the Green Bay Packers as losers.

People play up the trials and tribulations of being a Packer fan in the '70s and '80s well beyond what it really was. Yes, they had some pretty bad years in there, often several in a row. But, there were some real surprises too, and some great players to watch during that time. The Lynn Dickey lead offense was fantastic, and Lofton was unbelievable at times.
It was never a very complete team, but often it was very entertaining. Compared to what some other fans have endured with other franchises, it wasn't that bad. The problem was coming of the high of the '60s, when it dominated.
If, as a fan in any sport, your only satisfaction comes from winning a championship; you should probably find a different avenue for entertainment.
