Come this October it will be 60 years since I attended my first Packers game.
I have made my wife into a Packers fan, I have raised three children to be avid Packers fans.
We as a family have appreciated the Packers for decades.
I have seen the Packers win four Super Bowls, I would like to see them win a fifth before I go ten toes up.
Damned right I appreciate the Green Bay Packers.
What I don't appreciate is Ted Thompson's unwillingness to step out of his cocoon to more energetically pursue another Lombardi while Rodgers is in his prime.
The clock is ticking!

The Packers are a distraction for me. This forum is a distraction for me. I have absolutely no control over anything they do so I refuse to get worked up over anything they do. I watch the games on Sunday when I do not have more important things to do and when I have more important things to do I don't let the fact that I missed the game bother me. I didn't used to be like that. Missing a game used to bother the heck out of me and a loss had me down for days. Not any more. Its a game and if we lose I'm pretty much over it by the next day. What I like about that is I get over the loses much quicker than I get over the wins. What I mean by that is as the wins build my excitement and enjoyment builds. For that reason I think I do appreciate the Packers because they win more than they lose and I get far more out of a win than I lose with a loss if that makes any sense.


It is my opinion that a team does not get as far as the Packers have been getting by being a bad team. This is not the NBA where signing one player turns you from a lottery team into the favorite to win it all. Yes a star like Rodgers can cover some weaknesses but it can't cover all of them and it can't make a bad team into a favorite so Yes this is a good team. It certainly could be better but it could also be worse so again, I appreciate that. I could be a Lions fan trying to convince myself of the same thing but I'm not sure I would be as successful.

Would I like to win more SBs? Of course I would but like I said, I can't control it and in the end it affects me very little so I take what I get. Some will say I am settling as a fan for not demanding more from this team but I can demand all I want, I can threaten to hold my breath until I turn blue and it won't change a single thing so why do it? That's not my thing.

Its a game. I am not a player, I am not a coach, I am not a GM, I am not even an owner. I am a fan. So continue to suit up every week my Green Bay Packers and I will continue to cheer for you. I will appreciate the joy you give me with each victory but I won't let something I have no control over get me down.

We got a hell of a lot more out of James Jones this year than we got out of Rison in 96. I swear people make such a big deal out of that signing like he came in and went Randy Moss '07 on the league when he barely even went Janis '15.

If you are content to be good, you will never be great.

Strive to be great.


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Packer fans are some of the most passionate about their team as you'll find.

However 25 years of consistent success has left some of them spoiled rotten with some unrealistic expectations. Dominance of this magnitude doesn't last forever and when the dark days do come like they did in the 70's/80's you guys will be praying for playoffs even harder than you now demand superbowls.

But they haven't been dominant for 25 years.

2 world champions in the last 25 years isn't dominant.

1962-1967 was dominant.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
