This is not the first time football had to change its culture

The article seemed to be a collection of random off-the-wall thoughts. What was the "change of culture" crap they mentioned? Concussions?

As for the thread title, I've said it before and I'll say it again, CONSISTENCY of being at or near the top, THAT is what being GREAT in the NFL is about.

Take the Giants for example; They won a couple of fairly recent Super Bowls and before, after, and in between, they pretty much faded to nothingness. Who wants their favorite team to be like THAT? Certainly not me. I'll take the more than two decades of EXCELLENCE the Packers have had, even though the Super Bowls have been a little farther apart than we might like.

The Brewers......I have tired of their losing ways. They had one good season, when they won the American league title, and haven't done much since. I wish they WOULD give us something to cheer about!

Now......I remember the 70's and 80's, where we only WISH we would make the playoffs. I remember the first time back in the early 1990's. Just the fact that we MADE the playoffs and won ONE playoff game had me jumping for joy!
It's been hard seeing them get SOOO close in the recent past, only to fail. But I'd STILL take that over sucking for 20 years!

We ARE spoiled as Packer fans!

Of course I want another SB title to cheer about....hopefully this year!

People who say they would gladly deal with a few losing seasons would be absolutely losing their minds after the 2nd one in a row whether they had recently won a superbowl or not let alone saying they'd deal with 5 or 6. Losing seasons are awful because not only do you know early on you aren't going to compete for a superbowl you have to watch shitty uncompetitive football all year.
