[QUOTE="America, post: 246249, member: 454"] You may well feel that way Levens, but I do not. When I look back at the Lombardi Era, I recall an era of excellence where the Packers became the standard for professional football. The Favre Era does not evoke the same sentiment because I view the last decade as a vast wasteland of blown opportunities and error-riddled performances in big games. I'll always be thankful for the role he played (along with many others) in winning the 1996 season Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean that he should be given a pass in perpetuity for subsequent poor play in the playoffs. As regards Packerlifer's sentiment that we need to have closure as soon as possible, I'd agree but it takes two to tango and God only knows when Favre is going to make reconciliation possible. I know that Lambeau never reconciled with the brass and the field was named after him only after he died. Until there is a suitable environment for closure, I don't see any purpose in trying to rush into anything. [/QUOTE]
