[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 731393, member: 7171"] Quite true. The Dolphins and Cowboys had a nice long run during the 70's and into 80's. It pretty much coincided with the mostly dismal post-Lombardi Packer years. At the time, I remarked to my Dad that it would be nice to have a long run like that, even if the Packers did not win championships at the rate they had during the 60's. The Shula Dolphins were the closest example of the kind of run I thought we may never see in my lifetime. I have but my Dad didn't get to see it, unfortunately. We've had that long run that I had known would be far more pleasing than the Gory Years ever were. Genuinely, it has been. While I agree that the long run probably could have (and should have) more than two titles during that span, I don't take it for granted, either. For those of us whose fan experience spans the Lombardi era through now, this is far, far better than the Gory Years. Maybe not the best era in Packer history but no way close to being the worst. Now, if our GM had only filled a roster hole or two above what he's typically been doing most seasons, who knows? Maybe there would already have been a couple more trophies in the case. A tip of the hat in his direction for the TE acquisitions this offseason and a raised eyebrow to the dice-roll he's seemingly made at OLB. [ATTACH]3895[/ATTACH] We've been missing it by that much!
