The remarkable story of the 2010 Green Bay Packers

Thank you for this - I, for one, still can't get enough of the 2010 Packers and I really enjoy reading write-ups from the fan's perspective.

Nice read, boss. I also remember the national story coming out of that game was all Vick, all the time. Granted, he did perform surprisingly well considering the layoff, but the Packers had not beaten the Eagles in over 40 years at their place. Ending up doing it twice!

Good read. My visceral memory from that game was when CMIII chased POS Ookie down from behind on a scramble. Ookie slowly got up with a "WTF WAS THAT?!?!" look on his face.

Excellent critique of game one.

The write up for the Bills game should be good. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine was CMIII shedding a blocker (TE, I think) and stuffing Vick on that 4th and 1 to end the game.

Agree, CU. That was an outstanding play by CMIII.

Thanks Boris, just gave a donation to timesfour for your efforts....thanks so much.

You know, I actually watched the game on NFL replay last week. It was so much fun. This game, more than the other two, showed how much better we were than the Bears were. The reason? Jermichael Finely played in that game. The Bears have no answer for him.

That game was vital, because it taught the Packers how devastating penalties could be. They became a lot smarter after this game.

Great point. Especially for a young team.

Yup, on that day they grew up. Amazing that they finished the season as one of the least penalized teams.

It's been a few weeks.

Game 4 is up on the Front Page

Game 5. Rough one

Draft...Draft....Draft.....

Windy tonight

I could do a write-up on the Sharks game from last night!! No?

Fine by me.

The three other hockey fans here and I would most likely enjoy it.

Good luck to your Sharks!

Tha Skins game was such a tough one to swallow....another example of a team I started to believe had pencilled in certain wins and didn't think they had to prove it on the field. Championship teams lose these kind of games I suppose, but so early on, with the Fins game following this performance, it wasn't hard to question this team at that point.

That Washington game really was a stunner in so many ways.

They lost the #1 weapon on their offense in Finley, lost his backup Lee for awhile in that game, and most importantly lost Clay Matthews and no one knew how bad his injury might be. At that point I believe the body count was something like Grant, Finley, Barnett, Burnett, and Matthews all out and I think even Neal may have gotten hurt in this one too.

With all that happened, it was just devastating to see Crosby miss that potential game winning FG even though it was a long one. The Pack moved the ball that day, but had trouble in the red zone when Finley went out.

The Pack looked a long long ways from the team they would become later in the year. Though I will say that overall the defense did start to show signs of being a dominant unit that day other than the huge mistake by Peprah to let his man get by him on a long one.

It was about that time I was telling people that it was a nice season while it lasted. What did I know?

...and Rodgers got a concussion in crunch time. GOL, I said that after Barnett went down.

But, Goalline, in the end your prediction came true. Packers win it all in 2010

It was our best offensive rushing game of the season, so at least we had that going for us.

Based on one fluke run that shouldn't count because the only outlier runs that should count are negative ones.

/did I do that right?

Very good. Now wait for the rapture to come and take you away

Those eggheads got it all figured out for you guys.

Annoyed?

Game 6: Hook, Line and S(t)inker

No mention of that BS special teams penalty?

Champions overcome & an old friend is waiting

I didn't even remember the Miami game. Good thing too.

Game 7: An old friend returns

Thanks, Boris. Nothing like reliving one of the Greatest. Seasons. Ever.

The glow will last for a LONG time!!!

I don't want the glow to last a long time. I want it to stop next February when the Packers win Super Bowl 46 and give us the glow of another Lombardi trophy.

Game 7 was probably the turning point of the season. Even though I'm sure Aaron Rodgers and Ted Thompson would never publicly admit they had a monkey on their back before that game, this game was huge for them and for turning the Pack back in the right direction after a slump. The joy of this win definitely propelled the Pack onto some great things and they may have gotten some confidence as a team from it.

Favre/Childress continued their slide into oblivion and took the Vikings with them. Pretty darn glad Harvin didn't come down in bounds as that would have been heartbreaking. But he didn't, the Pack won and you know the rest of the story.

Harvin gets that second foot in and we are looking at a totally different season.

Game 8 is up

Happy Memorial Day everyone!
