Ok. The Pack are 5-0. Face it, they will roll on Sunday. 6 and 0

Where is the excitement in that? Where is the edgy feeling, the worry that keeps one up while trying to fall asleep on Saturday night?

Admit it.. It is a fucking bore. It is like watching the weather channel give details of the sunny Sunday ahead. There is ZERO excitement in knowing what is coming and Aaron is going to win the game with conviction. It is far more rewarding to expect rain and wake up to sunshine.

The Packers need to lose two in a row. It would be great theatre for the press, and great reading for the fans. Hell, it would be perfect for this forum.

Lets make it a fantastic finish on the last weekend of the season to see who wins the NFC NORTH.

I feel ya RP.

So tired of actually having to look at the schedule every week to see when The Packers are playing.

The good ole days everyone knew that the game would be at noon on Sundays.

Unless of course they were playing on the West Coast.

There was always that rare Monday Night appearance, but for those of us living outside of Wisonsin, it was the one time a year that we got to see them

Yep, the good old days, When a victory over The Bears would make a successful season.

Although my heart is grateful for the rest! No more palpitations!

Those 5 wins have been far from easy and without stress. It seems when the Mortal Combat voice tells us to "Finish Them" we decide to dance a jig.

Will the Packers roll? On paper they should, because their OL is very hurt. If they had all their starters, this would be a dog fight. But they still have to play the game. When you are at the mall during the game, go get some caramel popcorn.

Your just unhappy because your Raiders are not as "Boring" as the Green Bay Packers !

It'd be refreshing to see them start putting inferior teams away for a change.

I feel you. The main thing that annoys me is that we don't have 28 threads opening up after a game calling for MM's head, Capers' incompetence, looking for 12 trades before the deadline arrives and Tolzien to start now that we're winning everything.

Everyone's just sort of happy and nice about the team. Where's the fun in that?

They've had four consecutive double digit wins, including over two teams that will likely be in the playoff hunt in December (Seattle, LA - whoops, I mean St. Louis).

While I do sense a bit of sarcasm emanating from this thread, in all seriousness, I sometimes wonder if a lot of casual and younger Packers fans take what we've had for granted. This franchise could easily have been where Detroit and Buffalo are now struggling to bring back a winning culture. Hell look at where Denver and Miami are now. Had two franchise QB's that carried them through most of the 80's and 90's and then both retired around the same time and both franchises have struggled to find any long term answer since. Peyton being the exception in Denver since he came in as a FA, but he's been in the twilight of his career and you can tell he's not the QB he was even three or four years ago. But before Peyton even got there, they jumped from Plummer, to Cutler, to Tebow. Miami jumped from Fiedler, to Culpepper, to Henne, to now Tannehill whom has still been having an inconsistent career to date. That could have very easily been Green Bay had Rodgers not turned into the Top 3 QB he is now. It's hard enough to find a franchise QB that can be your starter for 10+ years, but it can be even more difficult to find his replacement once he does retire.

It wasn't too long ago where this franchise was considered NFL Siberia after the Lombardi era and struggled to even get close to 10 wins a season back in 70's and 80's. Especially during Starr's time as head coach. Talented but flawed rosters that could just never get over the hump. Being a young Packer fan in the 80's growing up and watching all my friends bandwagon teams like the 49ers and Giants. I was happy when we finally beat the damn Bears let alone even dream of this team making the playoffs. That's why it was so important now that Wolf, Holmgren, Favre, and Reggie all were integral pieces of changing this franchise's fortunes in the 90's. Even though they only won one Super Bowl, at worst, you know they were going to field a competitive team most years that would challenge for the playoffs and division year in and year out. You didn't have that back during the 70's and 80's and why I do not take this winning for granted. If we're damn lucky enough once Rodgers is ready to retire and strike draft gold again like we did in 2005, all the better, but we could very easily be in store for some lean years if it takes awhile for this team to find another franchise QB.
