Worst Packers Team Ever

[Freak Out]

1988 was a pretty bad year. I remember being in a few close games only to have Max Zendejas miss chipshot field goals to cost us any chance of victory. This was also the year the GB decided to pick it up at the end of the year and win their last two games to bump their record to 4-12. These two victories edged us past Dallas, hence giving Dallas Troy Aikman in the 1989 draft. But luckily we were able to land the "sure-thing" offensive tackle extraordinaire Tony Mandar"bich" with the second pick.

In retrospect, if we had gotten Aikman we would have never gotten Favre. So I guess in the end it worked out pretty good for GB.

That's a good way to look at it.

Noooooooooo! Stop bringing up the incredible bulk draft!

I'd have to agree that 1958 was the worst season.

The worst season that I can remember had to be 1990. On the heals of 10-6 in 89, we went 6-10 in 1990 behind the arm of Anthony Dilweg... Remember him? HmmmMmmm. Yuck.

Our Rb's were - Brent Fullwood, Michael Haddix, Darrell Thompson and Keith Woodside, who combined for 881 yards rushing. Sterling Sharpe had an off year, but still posted 1105 yards, and the next three guys, Perry Kemp, Jeff Query and Clarence Weathers combined for 1,375 yards... our TE was Ed West, and he caught passes for 356 yards.

Big, big disappointment after some promise in 1989... we failed to make the playoffs because we finished tied with Minnesota who had a better conference record. It was very disappointing but left you excited for 1990. Then, in 1990 in game 10 he tore his rotator cuff on a tackle by Freddie Joe Nunn (I remember that...) and Dilweg finished the year. Sad, sad ending as they lost their last 5 games....

I think the worst year was with Ray Rhodes. It was the feeling of the end of an era. Serously who didn't think with Favre we were going to win like 3-4 Super Bowls. That 8-8 year made me realize our window was shut. At least it was only for awhile

There was even that exciting start with Earwig filling in for Majic and beating the RAMs - then the Chicago beat down. The loss at home to San Fran was an exciting day. I'll have to check the stats, but I think Montana held the record for passing at Lambeau until that 1998 debacle with Minnesota.

Being a Packer fan in 57 & 58 was indeed painful, I usually listened to them on the radio, their offense consisted of incomplete passes, gettng sacked and then Max punting. In our little town the undertaker and the owner of the cheesefactory had lots of season tickets and there were always free tickets if you could find a way to Green Bay.

Actually...if memory serves correctly...Devine had one pretty good year...with Starr as his OC. I think that was why y years after Starr left that Devine lasted.Starr got the gig after Devine.

I don't remember when Starr was OC, but I do remember him as a color commentator on CBS before he took over as coach. The one good year under Dan Devine was '72, when they went 10-4, John Brockington ran wild and they won the Central Division. I still haven't forgiven Washington for beating them. 1973 might be the most disappointing season after the good year in '72. They went 5-7-2 with the QB troika of Scott Hunter, Jerry Tagge and the immortal Jim Del Gaizo.

Bart was QB coach under Devine. But he was really the defacto OC.

Then he realized Devine wasn't devine and went back to his car dealership until they named him HC

Thought for a minute there you were swearing at me in German, but then realized I knew all the swear words in German having heard them countless times from my Dad and Grandpa.
