You damn right.

When did these fans say they were no longer Packer fans? Being critical does not mean I am not a fan. Blind devotion is a cult.

Really?, it takes courage to support your team when it's down? Courage?

I was critical in 70's 80's 90's 2000's 2010's and currently. Less of a fan never...wanting better for the fans and owners of this team always. Never understood the you're less of a fan if you don't agree and follow the status quo when it comes to following a sports team. Things can never get better or worse without change. I will continue to support and follow the Packers for life. But too agree with and defend everything they put on the table goes against everything life has taught me.

Bart Starr was not wrong, yet it also takes courage to face reality as well. I too want the Packers to win, but I refuse to ignore the truth.

The truth is that GB, even if they make it into the playoffs, has no real chance of advancing.

To be honest with you smoke, with the current NFC standings and if we get Aaron back I would never say no. Whether we could beat a New England is pretty crazy unless they just find a way to play way below their talent level.

I was almost to young to appreciate the greatness of the 60's. "They will be like this every year, right?"
I was crushed when the 70's laid an egg.
I failed to realize why a team "as good as they obviously were" kept coming in 8-8.

All in all I learned that I overvalued the talent on the field, in the coaching staff and in the front office.

As it has been said, expecting the franchise to try and achieve greatness is not unreasonable. Being upset and saying so when the leadership fails to do so doesn't mean we are fair-weather fans.

Courage, being a packer fan onboard a ship prior 92'.

I was a fan of the Packers pre Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr. That was love, not courage.
I was a fan through the "glory years".
I was a fan through the 70's when Bart was head coach for nine years (75-83) when his record was 52-76-3. That was love not courage.
I have been a Packers fan through all of their ups and downs for 61 years out of love for the Green Bay Packers.
However, I reserve the right as a loyal fan to be critical of the Green Bay Packers administration, coaching staff and players as I see fit looking at them through the eyes of love.
The biggest difference in being a Packers fan between 1956 and 2017 has been the internet.
Now people have the opportunity to interact with other fans from around the world from a keyboard.
Critics of the team they love are hounded by "internet bullies" who like to doubt your fandom and dedication because you don't look at the team you love through green and gold goggles.
To continue to interact with those fans takes courage and LOVE.
Regardless of my criticisms of various facets of the Green Bay Packers, regardless of wins and losses, I love the Packers and will be a die hard Packers fan until the day I die.
That's not courage, that's LOVE!
