About The Green Bay Packers
During the 1960's the team managed five league championships under the direction of coach Vince Lombardi in seven years. The Green Bay Packers also made it to the Super Bowl twice, winning each time. When Vince Lombardi died in 1970, the Super Bowl trophy was named after the legendary coach, immortalizing him forever.
For the next twenty-five years, the team would have mild success on the field. Though their team was strong and support was high, Green Bay Packers ticket holders just couldn't find the strength to pull off top winning seasons. In face, in those 25 years, the team only had a winning record 5 seasons.
When 1992 rolled around, the Green Bay Packers ticket holders would be graced with one of the best quarterbacks in the world, Brett Favre. The Green Bay Packers acquired him from the Falcons and during the first game of the season when Brett Favre stepped in for injured quarterback Don Majkowski. He led the team to a comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals. From then on, the magical Favre wouldn’t miss a start until he left the team in 2007, starting 271 consecutive games. This is a record for NFL quarterbacks.
In 2006 when the Packers missed the playoffs, Brett Favre announced he would return for the 2007 season. This would be one of the best seasons ever for the Green Bay Packers. Tickets were selling like crazy. The following year, Favre would announce his retirement, but that didn't last long. He asked the NFL to reinstate him and in August, Favre was traded to the New York Jets.
During the 2009 draft, the Green Bay Packers picked up pass rusher Clay Matthews and nose tackle B.J. Raji. These players were chosen with the task of filling a specific need in the team. But the team has basically remained silent in free agents. Matthews was chosen to improve the teams sack numbers and Raji to fill the hole of interior space eater.
While there are many doubts that the Green Bay Packers have done what it takes to improve the team. Hopefully the alterations made in defense were enough to push the team past last years problems of a 6-10 record and get the ball rolling. If all goes well, and it should, the Green Bay Packers will be a great contender for the NFC North and have a great chance of seeing a Super Bowl.
