[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 409056, member: 1242"] I wouldn't get too excited about a "perfect" season until the Packers get to at least 14-0. Right now they're no further along than quite a few excellent teams in NFL history for an 11-0 or better start. Just two years ago the Colts were 14-0 and the Saints 13-0 and ended 14-2 and 13-3. respectively. The 1985 Bears began 12-0 and finished 15-1. The 1998 Broncos were also 12-0 and finished 14-2. The problem for both the team and the fans about shooting for an undefeated year now is that that one first loss could have more season changing effects for the ultimate purpose of winning the Super Bowl again than might otherwise be the case about a defeat earlier on the schedule. There's still five games to go, an entire quarter of the season, and haven't we seen games change when a team thinks it has things sewed up at the end of the third quarter and lets an opponent come back on them in the fourth? Neither the Packers nor their fans should be like the man who was so fixated on the pot of gold at the end of the road that he missed seeing the banana peel and open manhole just inches in front of his path.
