I watched a few minutes of that Super Bowl XXXI highlights film. This season will be the 20 year anniversary of that team... I cannot believe it has been 20 years since then, that just doesn't seem possible. Hard to believe guys like Wayne Simmons, Reggie White, and Fritz Shumur have passed on since that time.
The most fun I ever had watching the playoffs was the 2010 team and their playoff run. However, the most fun I ever had watching a season wire to wire was that 1996 team. That '96 team was just so darn good. The only weakness they really had was at LT which stabilized with the insertion of the unlikely Bruce Wilkerson. Once he got in there and they got healthy, they basically destroyed everyone in their path. That was the best Packers team in my lifetime (I missed the Lombardi years).
yeah...just cannot watch that game against Denver...UGH.
Jennings talking about 2010.

So I was downtown SF yesterday at the NFL experience at the Moscone Center and I wandered over to the south hall and camped my ass in front of a huge display area of the 2010 season. And I ended up watching the Nick SB pick with about 12 other Bay Area die hard Packers fans. And we all thought the same thing.
Green Bay has at least 1 more Lombardi if Nick never gets hurt and its bull**** Ted has to break from plan because guys like Nick have to be found again after finding them the first time.

Sucks. But we should've been in the Super Bowl last year
Walking down Market Street toward SB City and the NFL has huge screens replaying great SB highlights. At a stop light and Big Ben gets hit by Green and Nick turns it into 14-0.
Its no coincidence that defense included Nick, Charles, 2 corners, and Bishop at ILB.
**** I miss Nick Collins.
But we should've been in the Super Bowl last year
That's what made this year so tough. If they win the Superbowl last year it makes this year just a bump instead of a baseball bat to the knee. I think we all went into this season hoping it was going to be the 2015 vengeance tour for the way last year turned out. This year more than any I can remember was Superbowl or bitterness.
****ing injuries.
They need to expand the rosters.

and in 2011
I don't buy 2011. That team was a one-trick pony. A dominant trick but eventually the right team came along to stop it. Rush 4 and cover w/7. NYG had the horses to pull that off. There were some bad bounces in that game but the Giants were also on fire, especially Burress who exposed our secondary.
