[QUOTE="net, post: 11550, member: 200"] Most of you are missing the obvious point...and one of the reasons the Packers were truly bad for so long: personnel. During that era--post-Lombardi to Ron Wolf...the team was run by an executive committee that was so tight they squeaked. The organization was trying to keep expenses down as they didn't know how revenue sharing and TV revenues would go. So other teams landed and kept the best players. They had Ted Hendrichs but wouldn't pay him. A few they did...Lynn ****ey and James Lofton had nice contracts...but the supporting cast was mediocre. Also the personnel department was very bad. They kept drafting duds, even though they were in a good position often to upgrade. Ron Wolf changed the whole philosophy in Green Bay. Bart Starr had a few players, but they didn't fit Gregg's philosophy. Gregg also had Lindy Infante running his offense in Cincinnati and didn't have him in Green Bay and the Packers defense was never that good, Gregg found a way to wreck Starr's offense(which was fairly good) to create a team, I think, that was worse than the Lindy Infante squads prior to Ron Wolf.
