I want you to review this post in 5 years and tell me if you remember that the packers won the superbowl or they blew people out during the season. GET OVER IT THEY WON PAL!

Don't forget, lost in the SB rush of last season, the 2010 Packers accomplished something that no other team (that I can remember) has ever accomplished:

Two teams fired their head coaches after their teams were utterly humiliated on the football field by GB.

That those two teams were the Cowboys and the Vikings just makes it sweeter--if you'd asked me at the beginning of the season which two teams I'd most like to see that happen to, those two would have ranked at/near the top of that list.

Bwahahahahaha 👍 🖐 👍

Yeah, I know we overcame alot of injuries and stuff and were even favored to go all the way before the season, but was our SB really good enough? I just thought we underperformed for much of the season and lost to teams we should have dominated. MM's teams always have to go through that midseason slump. I mean let's face it, we barely squeaked into the playoffs.
We didn't really get to lord it over other fans and I never really felt confident that we were gonna slam dunk it. In '96, we blew teams out.

The dropped TD passes to open receivers behind the secondary. The weird bounce on a fumble going out of bounds. The Calvin Johnson non catch alone gives us the 2 seed. On top of losing so many players including half of our top 4 offensive weapons and 6 LBs. Saying they didn't earn it is just looking for an excuse to bash the Packers.

I think it counts more than in '96 because they showed more character and heart.

The Packers were physically better than everybody they played. Whether the won or not. It just showed more in the last 6 games.

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

Okay, I had a much longer post typed but inadverdently hit a link that destroyed my post before it could post. To sum it up:

I think your question is stupid (no offense) because if the team was an underachiever and had to fight through slumps yet still won the SB it seems to me it would mean more than if it had dominated the entire season.

Also, if you wanted to you could ask picky questions about the earlier SB wins as well, but it doesn't change the fact that the Packers won those Super Bowls in fair competition. Every other team had the opportunity during those years to win but didn't. Overcoming the odds is what makes it special.

Once again, no offense.

If you think you can do better. Put on a jock and and some cleats get out there and show them. Otherwise STFU. They won.

It doesn't matter if they would have won because the final FG attempt by Pittsburgh had been hit by a pigeon flying across the field that deflected the ball and it hit the cross bar and bounced away.

THEY STILL WON DESPITE FAILING TO MEET THE "NERDMAN STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE". And every single one of them can live with that for the rest of their lives.

Oh and so can most of their fans.

beast (3h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (4h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (9h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (9h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (9h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (14h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (14h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (15h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (16h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (16h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (17h) : umm... what?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (17h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (17h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (17h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
