[QUOTE="Favre3132, post: 644448, member: 1473"] Considering the disappointing and difficult season we have all witnessed this year with our beloved Green Bay Packers, there is one positive that I take away from this season – call it a silver lining if you will. For the past 7 years, 2009-15, only 2 teams have made the playoffs each season – the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots. When you consider how difficult it is to make the playoffs 7 straight years in the NFL, it is a major accomplishment. The Packers with the great Brett Favre made the playoffs for 6 consecutive seasons from 1993-1998, but could not do it for 7 straight seasons. How would you like to be a Chicago “the Bears still suck” fan? Since 2009, they have made the postseason only once – the 2010 season when the Packers defeated the Bears in the NFC Championship on their way to Super Bowl 45. One playoff appearance in 7 years for the Bears – that would really suck! Since 2009, the Detroit Lions have made the playoffs twice and the Vikings have now made the playoffs for the fourth time. How about those Dallas Cowboys – 2 playoff appearances, 2009 & 2014, in 7 years. Or how about the teams that have not even sniffed the playoffs – Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Miami, Oakland, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Tennessee. I am so thankful that I am a fan of the Green Bay Packers. Yes, this has been a very disappointing season and a deep run by the Packers in the playoffs seems very unlikely, but it is so difficult just to make the postseason, and even more difficult to make it 7 consecutive seasons. Here are all 32 teams and how many times they have made the playoffs the last 7 years, from 2009-2015: [U]7 Playoff appearances[/U] Green Bay Packers (2009-15 – [B]1 Super Bowl Win[/B]) New England Patriots (2009-15 – [B]1 Super Bowl Win[/B]) [U]6 Playoff appearances[/U] Cincinnati Bengals (2009, 2011-15 / 0-5 record in the playoffs, not counting 2015) [U]5 Playoff appearances[/U] Baltimore Ravens (2009-12, 2014 - [B]1 Super Bowl Win[/B]) Denver Broncos (2011-2015) Indianapolis Colts (2009-10, 2012-14) Seattle Seahawks (2010, 2012-2015 - [B]1 Super Bowl Win[/B]) [U]4 Playoff Appearances[/U] Pittsburgh Steelers (2010-11, 2014-15) New Orleans Saints (2009-11, 2013 - [B]1 Super Bowl Win[/B]) [U]3 Playoff Appearances[/U] San Francisco 49’ers (2011-13) Philadelphia Eagles (2009-10, 2013) Atlanta Falcons (2010-12) Arizona Cardinals (2009, 2014-15) Carolina Panthers (2013-15) Minnesota Vikings (2009, 2012, 2015) Houston Texans (2011-12, 2015) Kansas City Chiefs (2010, 2013, 2015) [U]2 Playoff Appearances[/U] San Diego Chargers (2009, 2013) NY Jets (2009-10) Dallas Cowboys (2009, 2014) Detroit Lions (2011, 2014) Washington Redskins (2012, 2015) [U]1 Playoff Appearance[/U] NY Giants (2011 – [B]1 Super Bowl Win[/B]) Chicago Bears (2010) [U]X Playoff Appearances[/U] Buffalo Cleveland Jacksonville Miami Oakland St. Louis TampaBay Tennessee Be thankful we are Packers fans!
