You could be right, either way, it was believed to be season ending at the time.

Also, it could have been '97, not positive.

I think it was '97.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Boy do I remember a different story in regards to the turnstile of a rookie left tackle that we trotted out there in Kenny place.. maybe I am in error.. need to break out those 96 tapes and rewatch.. VHS? Where to find one.. lol.

We were favorite that season... we were hyped this season by many.. possibly the majority.. we had trials then.. we have trials now..

Jon Michaels. First round draft pick, but he was not at all ready for the NFL. One of Ron Wolf's biggest busts. Thankfully, Bruce Wilkerson eventually solidified the position at the end of the season.

A big difference between then and now is that back then (which really wasn't so long ago) there were only a handful of teams that had a good chance of winning the Super Bowl in any given year. This was at the tail end of years of dominance by the Cowboys, 49ers, Redskins, and Giants. So for the Packers to be favored that year meant a lot.

Nowadays, the NFL is a lot more wide open. The Colts, Steelers, and Patriots are the only teams that are in the mix almost every year, but there are always a lot of teams that are capable of going on a tear and winning it all. The Packers are now one of those teams, but so are the Vikings, Cowboys, Jets, Ravens, the Saints again, the Giants again, and possibly some other teams that are still underneath the radar.

I was thinking the same thing, Greg. Again, maybe our memories cloud the reality of the time, but it certainly seemed like teams stayed awful or great for much longer, and the separation between bad, good, and great teams was much more distinct.

I used to recall it being a much larger deal if the lowly undefeated Colts would defeat the Packers...with parity, it seems much more common, and less damning.

Considering the parity, injuries other teams will face (look at the Colts at safety right now) I have at least some optomism and think the packers still have a chance...but please no more season-ending injuries, and once again, NO 18 GAME SEASON!

I don't care if Rodgers, Woodson, Matthews, Jennings, Finley, Sitton, Jenkins and Collins get injured.

We will still win the Super Bowl.

One thing the '96 team had was a defensive front of Sean Jones, Santana Dotson, Gilbert Brown and Reggie White. That is a dominating front four. Back them up with Leroy Butler and Eugene Robinson and just fill the rest of the positions in with warm bodies.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Zero2Cool (6h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (7h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (7h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (8h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (8h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (8h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (9h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (9h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

dhazer (25-Apr) : scenario: Our main prospects are off the board when our pick comes around, do we just throw a 2nd round pick at Pittsburgh for Pickens
