It's Been a Nice Run

[Pugger]

This has been a nice run. It's been a very enjoyable season. It pointed out to me just how fanatical our fans are, myself included. After 7 consecutive years of playoff football, a 4 game losing streak had almost everyone up in arms wondering who should be fired to right the ship. We should have known that the proper people were in place to get us back on track.

I've thought for a long time that the Favre saga had a few of our most outspoken posters looking for a chance to rile up the crowd with the "get rid of TT, get rid of MM, get rid of AR" talk. In an article that Vince referenced, the author Louis Bien says "People love to hate, and one of the best ways to do it is to lie in wait for the first moment your target slips up. Then you begin, hating as loud and as hard as you can, and creating such an encompassing din that whether anyone believes you they can’t hear anything else. You become George Saunders’ braindead megaphone yelling indiscriminately in the middle of the room, and pretty soon you create a reality for everyone around you".

Fortunately, for Packer fans, that throw out the old regime for a new regime discussion has faded. The megaphone is nearly silent. The Packers have not faded and there's at least a chance that next week we'll be preparing to play the Falcons or the Seahawks. All in all, it has been a nice run.

I hope it doesn't reappear should we lose tonight. This has been a fun ride. What we are witnessing with the play of Rodgers is historic. But no matter what happens this post season we really shouldn't be putting all the burden on AR being Superman for us to win. We have to fix this defense, get a reliable running game and change the scheme so Rodgers doesn't have to extend plays for several seconds to enable our WRs to get open going forward.

Will TT's run be known as just another Fart in the Wind or More ???????

How many Super Bowls do you need to win and what winning percentage do you need to not be considered a fart in the wind?

If we somehow win the Super Bowl will this be another lucky run by TT or MM because it has been 6 years between apperances?

Really, Bretsky, we all want to know: how much will it take for the fart in the wind to become a shit in the toilet?

Fritz, keep up the magic, you nattering nabob, you.
