I am bothered by some negative posting here recently. While we will never live in a perfect world and won't be undefeated like the 1929 team, consider:
1) In the last 11 regular season games of 2004 the Packers were 9-2.
(This is when Sherman started calling the plays)
2) In five years in Miami Bates defenses were always in the top 10 in the NFL.
3) In 2003 the Packers set a franchise record with 2558 rushing yards.
4) With the same offense in 2004 the Packers set a franchise record with 4449 passing yards and 6357 total yards.
5) With Miami having it's first losing season since 1988 last year the Packers have the longest consecutive non-losing seasons in the NFL with 13.
6) The Packers have been in the playoffs four consecutive years and the most (10) in the salary cap era since 1993.
7) In 2005 the Packers have the current longest consecutive season streak for Monday Night Football appearances in the NFC at 13 (Denver leads NFL with 14).
8) From 1996-2005 (10 seasons) The Packers will have been on MNF 24 times. That is the most in NFL(Miami + Denver 2nd with 20 times).
9) Brett Favre is 19-11 as a starter on MNF. 11/21/05 is his 32nd MNF game or the equivalent of 2 seasons.
10) In a recent poll of 354 NFL players conducted by Sports Illustrated the Packers were voted the "classiest" organization.
Compare to the Vikings:
In the last 5 regular seasons the Vikings have averaged 7.6 wins (.475 win %) and the Packers have averaged 10.6 wins (.663 win %)
The Packers offense gained more yards than the Vikings in 2004.
The Vikings allowed 46 sacks compared to the Packers 14.
The leading rusher from 04 on the roster in 05 for Vikings is Culpepper with 406 yards.
If your negative now you must not have seen the teams after the Hadl and Del Gaizo trades(74 + 75) crippled the team for years.
Yes we had a rookie GM who was never involved in that side of the business for a few years and overworked our headcoach. Those mistakes have been corrected.
How many people in Cincinatti, Chicago, New Orleans, Arizona, and elsewhere would be happy to have the home playoff games, merchandise sales, and span of success the Packers have had. Enjoy and appreciate the success.
Much of the world lives in poverty while you complain about a bad parking spot for your SUV at the Mall. Some of you need your perspective to change and take pride in your team. Have some backbone!
