[QUOTE="Half Empty, post: 708006, member: 10288"] One of the reasons for my position is that I, too, watched during the Gory Years, but that was after the Lombardi era, following the train wreck of the late '50s. These things runs in cycles for nearly every team, and after two decades of HOF-type QBs, I'm wondering what I'll have to cling to during the next down time. The '60s kept me going until Favre arrived, but I doubt if the last two SBs will be enough for me if the team goes south without winning another one. Another reason is precisely because they're 'relevant' each and every year. To me, that means they've got a good shot at the only prize that counts. As of this year, I believe they now hold the record for making-the-playoffs futility, having been there six consecutive times without a SB appearance. Expectations are important, to me, and that's why the '70s and '80s didn't bother me nearly as much as some - I knew, going in, that a championship wasn't happening, so winning the 'this game is their SB' contest was enough. As I mentioned elsewhere, I really do wish I could be happy with the Playoff Participation trophies, but I can't - personal problem, I know. Like (I believe) most Packer fans, I can quote chapter and verse on their NFL championships and SBs, but, outside of very recent experiences, I have to research years in which they had winning records, division championships, et. al.
