[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 590625"] The 1972 team should not be overlooked. They pounded the rock all day with Brockington and Lane; the defense was outstanding with good players at all three levels...McCoy and Robert Brown, Robinson and Carr, Buchanon and Ellis. This was the 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust era, so Scott Hunter at QB was nothing like the liability of a poor passer today. As a point of reference, the 14-0 Dolphins threw for about 2,000 yards (compared to the Packers 1,400), ran with Csonka, Morris and Kiick, and played stout defense. Alas, the Packers lost 16-3 in a grind-it-out playoff game to the Kilmer Redskins. The two teams combined for 443 yds. from scrimmage. Dan Devine's dog was murdered ;) and the team sank to 5-7-2 the following year, followed by the long wait for the next playoff appearance in the strike-shortened 1982 season. And lets not forget 1989, the season of the Majik man. The 10-6 record did not earn a playoff berth, but it provided a lot of exciting moments and some hope for the future, such hopes only to be dashed upon the rocks of futility and until the Holmgren era.
