Nobody hates what has been going on in Dallas more than me, .. but let those other fan bases go through the miserable 20 years that we have and then let's see how great of fans they are.
The ones ahead of us are all cheering for winners, .. playoff teams.
That's easy.
GB did go a long time without winning
1968–91
For about a quarter century after Lombardi's departure, the Packers had relatively little on-field success. In the 24 seasons from 1968 to 1991, the Packers had only five seasons with a winning record (above .500), one being the shortened
1982 strike season. They appeared in the playoffs twice during that period, with a record of 1–2. The period saw five different head coaches –
Phil Bengtson,
Dan Devine,
Bart Starr,
Forrest Gregg, and
Lindy Infante – two of which were former Packer players in Lombardi's era (Starr and Gregg), and one of which was a former coach (Bengtson). Each of these men led the Packers to a poorer record than his predecessor. Poor personnel decisions typified this time period. A notorious example includes the 1974 trade in which Dan Devine acting as GM sent five 1975 and 1976 draft picks (two first-rounders, two second-rounders and a third) to the
Los Angeles Rams for aging quarterback
John Hadl, who would spend only 1½ seasons in Green Bay.
[13] Another came in
1989, when players such as
Barry Sanders,
Deion Sanders, and
Derrick Thomas were available, but the Packers chose offensive lineman
Tony Mandarich with the second overall pick in the NFL draft. Though rated highly by nearly every professional scout at the time, Mandarich's performance failed to meet expectations.
ESPN has rated Mandarich as the third "biggest sports flop" in the last 25 years.
