[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 526604, member: 2846"] You have to keep it in perspective. There are 31 other NFL teams that would give anything to win the Superbowl. It is not an easy task! They are all paid professionals who have dedicated their lives to this task. We have been mightily spoiled in recent years and when our team goes through an ‘average’ success period, we think it’s a catastrophe. Besides, if winning the SB was easy, it wouldn't be special. Here are a couple of ways to look at it: The other 3 teams in our division, Lions, Bears, and Vikings in 51 years have amassed a combined 1 Superbowl victory. The average number of Superbowl wins is 1.6. We are very fortunate to follow an organization that has 4. Currently these 8 teams are tops in the NFL power polls: Seahawks, Broncos, Saints, Panthers, Patriots, Chiefs, Cardinals and Niners. In the last 8 years these teams have combined for a total of 1 Superbowl win. Some of these teams are having the best season they have had in many years – or maybe ever (Seahawks, Chiefs, and Panthers). Yet only one of these teams can end up with the Lombardi. I was going to look up their combined records over the last few years and compare it to the Packers but I think you get the point. Seahawks, Panthers, Chiefs, Cards and Niners were racking up the high draft picks in recent years. My point being that it is a constant battle for teams to improve. We are all fishing from the same talent pool and every team gets their shot. The past 5 SB winners (and their current record) other than the Packers are: Ravens 5-6 Giants 4-7 Saints 9-2 Colts 5-6 Steelers 5-6 And of course the Packers are struggling at 5-5-1. My point is that only the Saints are doing well this season. It is difficult to stay on top in this league. Not making excuses, but we have gotten some bad breaks this season and things could easily be very different. The season is not over, not by a long shot. I think if we can just get by Detroit Thursday, Rodgers will be back, and the rest of the season is going to be going much better. We need to get hot right as playoffs start, and all this will be forgotten. [/QUOTE]
