[QUOTE="weeds, post: 467755, member: 39"] That's true, but we myopic Packer fans of that era believed that he should have. We were desperate for ANYONE to go to the Pro-Bowl from the Packers.:);) 'net' hit it pretty much on the head although, his last sentence indicates that he was a little more enamored with Majik than I was, but he does bring up a truly accurate and spot-on point regarding the O-line. I, like 'net', watch the game a little differently - I don't watch the movement of the ball from center-to-QB-to-RB-or-dropback-to-pass. I've always found myself transfixed on the big fat guys up-front, and our big fat guys were average at best..functional but average. This thread prompted me to take a closer look at the '89 season's final stats and one that jumped out and grabbed me by the throat was that the Pack put a good number of points up offensively -- the defense gave up 6 fewer points than the offense scored, on a 10-6 season. The Vikies won the division that year with an identical record, giving up close to 100 points fewer than the Pack did. Not that that stat made any difference...the Vikies are and always will be, THE VIKIES. Still, as I recall, the Central Division was always considered a weak division in the 80's. Even when the Bears won it all in '85 and were competitive in '86 and '87 ... the Central was considered 'weak'. Packers fans though, after '89 were convinced that the corner had been turned -- except those Packers fans who recognized that the Pack had GLARING problems. In that time period, defenses did indeed win championships. [/QUOTE]
