[QUOTE="Half Empty, post: 701818, member: 10288"] First bold is what I sometimes use to defend my own Lombardi-or-bust stance. How many NFL championships do the Packers have? I'll bet you'd have the right answer if you were asked that in your sleep. How many Super Bowls have they been in, how many wins? Again, any even casual Packer fan knows that. Now, other than the current streak of playoff appearances, which is too recent to qualify, start asking how many division championships, playoff appearances, winning seasons, et. al., and I have to believe it would be much harder for most to answer correctly. If they win it all this year, we'll all add the 2016 season to our auto-memory; if they don't, we'll have to look it up when asked in a decade or so. The second bold is the other reason that total success is the only success. After the recent run, even I am getting dangerously close to being optimistic. :) They were in top few to be a SB favorite at the start of the season, and they're playing lights-out now, so I just can't be satisfied with this season if they lose again this season. As before, satisfaction in sports is like satisfaction in anything else - whatever makes you happy is fine. The key is for folks like me not to disparage those for whom it's all gravy from here on out, while they need to let me set my own goals. [/QUOTE]
