2010 Season and Packers Fans

During the '96 season I was 16 years old and had a once in a lifetime sort of feeling the Packers would win it all. I was a fan, not like I am today, but I regretted not watching everything Packers that was available to me. Mike Holmgren show, MNF Kickoff, etc ... and also reading articles.

My advice to you, as Packers fans, soak this up, enjoy this, it might only be one more game, but what the Packers have done this season is truly special. Make no mistake about it, the Packers are the real Americas Team.

Here's a few off the top of my head ...

Watch the videos.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/green-bay-packers

Read the articles.

In 12 hours, the Green Bay Packers will be one of only four remaining teams out of 32 that have the opportunity to win the NFL Championship. We are lucky as Packers fans, and I hope none of us take this granted and each of us enjoy this to its fullest. And anything I can do to help, do not hesitate to ask, because I won't make the mistake I did 14 years ago, again this year.

I ask this of anyone and everyone. I'll do my part in bringing articles here and hope you do the same.

I am 16 years old right now, and I have to say that I couldn't be a more diehard fan. I don't remember the last time I missed a Packer game. That thanks in large part to this forum.

I was to young in '96 / '97 to watch them in the superbowl, and have been waiting for it all my life. Hopefully this is the year.

Thank you for providing a perfect place to come and chat about the Packers. I live in VA, so Packer fans are limited around here. In fact, I don't have any friends that are Packer fans.

I wouldn't know as much about the Packers as I do now if it weren't for PackersHome.

What a helluva ride this season has been. I can't imagine a more frustrating yet simultaneously hard-fought and hard-won season. Truly incredible is the team which has shown up the last couple months. Un-frikkin-believable. And I *do* believe Rodgers won't be throwin' no I-N-T's in overtime this year. ;)

"And they did it with a night to remember from Aaron Rodgers, who has gotten the Brett Favre monkey off his back, stuffed it, mounted it on the wall, and texted a photo of it to Jenn Sterger."
-Mike Florio

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

So true Zero. This feels "real" for some reason too. The 2008 playoff run didn't feel "real" because I always thought that team over-achieved and was kind of waiting for things to come crashing down. But right now I feel like we are the best team and can actually win this.

We really do need to enjoy this moment, its such a great point. It comes around so rarely. One game away from the SB?!

I had such a wild night last night of drinking and celebrating, I feel like crap right now but it was worth every pint. I can't wait until next week.

It would be so sweet just to make the SB, just for some these older guys like Driver and Woodson, that deserve to be in a SB.

I have goosebumps.

I agree. I was too young to enjoy the last Superbowl so I'm trying to enjoy this run as much as possible.

Looking back on this season I have to sort of laugh at myself. There were more than a couple times were I hung my head and told myself we would do it "next year".

I thought this myself when watching interviews of DD and Woody on packers.com, and also how much I wanted the team to go for the same guys, Harris, etc. back in '07.

As zero said, when Burt was going through his 3 MVPs, I too was 16 and thought, hell, we'll win every frickin year, maybe another 8 super bowls for Burt and co but this obviously wasn't the case. The team didn't even make another NFC Champ for another 10 years!

Great thread idea by Zero because we do need to appreciate how infrequently theses opportunities come around.

This year has been a rollercoaster of emotions. With the injuries at the beginning of the season, there was a point that every time I saw I had a text from my brother, I was afraid it was a new injury update. But the team seemed to get better with seemingly amateurish players. And now, we are SO close. Fittingly, we have to go through the Bears to get to the Super Bowl. And we have to do it at Soldier field. I'm terrified, but I'd have it no other way.

As many other posters on here do (I would imagine), I get a LOT of shit from my wife about being on PH.com so much. It is never hard for me to explain why I do it.

Imagine that you are as interested in something, anything, as I am the Green Bay Packers. So much so that it plays heavily with your emotions. Now, imagine that you don't have hardly any friends that are fans of the same thing, much less knowledgeable fans. Then, one glorious day, you are referred to a website that will take you to over a thousand people that share the same interests as you, but more importantly are much more knowledgeable than you. Imagine that you can go to the website and learn SO much more about your passion. Your passion will grow very quickly, and you will have others to share it with.

That is what I have, thanks to all of you guys. Incredible.

Well said, Zero. I was also too young to get the full glory of the Packer '96 SB. But over the past couple of years this site has helped me become a diehard Packer fan. My appreciation in large part goes to Zero, of course, but also to the everyday posters. I love signing on and reading what this solid community has to say. Zombie, Ironman, Pack 93z, bozz, Finley (who never stopped believing), Greg C, evad, go.pack.go, warhawk, and Cheesey, I have to thank you guys in particular for your constant, intelligent posting. Heck nerdman thanks even to you for keeping us grounded because McCarthy always screws up :pottytrain2:

Thanks a lot to this entire posting community it has been an awesome ride, and I am blessed to be on it with such great fans. Now let's go get a ring!!!!

GO PACK GO!!!

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

Zero2Cool (2h) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
