[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1071308, member: 18006"] Green Bay was the first team to have an undefeated season, going 12-0-1 in 1929. Chicago was the first team to have a perfect season (13-0), but they got stampeded 30-13 by the Giants in the championship game. All that work for nothing. They pitched a perfect season again in 42, going 11-0, but lost the championship game to the 10-1 Redskins, 14-6. Green Bay has never had a perfect season; 12-0-1 in 29 was the closest they ever came. And they won the league championship anyway, obliterating the Bears 25-0 in Chicago (I bet Caleb Revenge's great great grandfather was having a seizure on the 1929 version of social media that day). The only blot on their record was a 0-0 tie against the Frankford Yellow Jackets on Thanksgiving day. Those Yellow Jackets were a hell of team; they fell apart in the early 30s, mostly due to financial difficulties related to that whole Great Depression thing, but because they had been such a powerhouse, the NFL allowed Philadelphia to re-assemble the team as the Philadelphia Eagles. But anyway, Green Bay has never enjoyed an undefeated season since. The closest they came was 2011, when their only regular season loss was to the7-9 Kansas City Chiefs. It would be utterly amazing if they ever do go undefeated and untied now, because parity and a 17 game schedule. This goes back to something I said way back when Matt hired Hafley. I did a lot of deep-dive googling, looking for everything I could find on him, and I found a lot of things that made me very thrilled. But what made me the most excited were podcasts that featured him, seminars he gave on the philosophy of defense, and talks he gave to college players explaining what his entire style was going to be, and one thing he said came through more and more every single time - fast, fast, FAST!!! It's amazing how much he has accomplished here in basically one full season. We're gonna miss him when he's gone; I just hope we can keep him in the fold in 2026. Anything beyond that, and I think he's gone. Week 15, 2011... a Kansas City team that would finish 7-9 that year beat the undefeated Packers to spoil our perfect season. DC Romeo Crennel figured out the perfect game plan, which the Giants used against us in the Divisional Round. Going back to the general topic of team speed, I found this video very interesting,and quite relevant. One of the points they spent a fair amount of time on was that when we're talking about team speed, it's not just about how fast the players can move - it's about how fast they can [I]think[/I], and they use Cooper as an example. Gute has done an incredible job finding the right players for this team. [MEDIA=youtube]oAfMHOspKus[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
