No, they weren't. It was a roller coaster ride for sure, but there was some damn good teams sprinkled in.
They didn't win the big trophy at any point during their first 40 years in existence. They made 1 AFL championship game in the 60's, then 1 Superbowl in the 80's and another in the 90's and lost both.

Both losses were to teams that play in the NFC north, so you should probably shut your pie hole on that crap too...

Did the Patriots win a Championship in the AFL? I forget. And the Packers never won a Championship in the 50s. They were all during the 60s. Didn't need 2 decades.

Did Vince Lombardi have salary cap and free agency issues to deal with? Did he have 32 other teams to deal with? Did he have a players union to deal with?

Please, GB's NFL titles are meaningless in the context of modern day "big boy football".

They played under the same rules as their opponents and won. All that counts.

Adams is on my opponent'e fantasy team/......but I will take a Packer win over fantasy anytime


My favorite tea, "Aaron the Ball Out" has them both. Just traded for Adams 2 weeks ago. After that hit he took against the Bears, I though that I would have to drop him, but held on til Fridy and moved him into the starting lineup Oh, yeah

Yes, I'm aware that they didn't snag a title and unlike you, I didn't have to look it up. There was some pretty damn good teams in NE over the years mixed in with some dreadful teams. A roller coaster ride, just like I said.

I didn't realize you were a female, but I have been to Philly so I must say, you do look familiar. Do you work for the TSA at that airport?

Ask the Eagles fan the last time they won a Championship. It was against the Packers too.

That was fun to watch when I was in high school. A fucking LB playing at the RB position!


I was just out of college when he came into the NFL. I even liked the Patriots as my team from that other league. I happened to have watched the last time the Eagles won a championship.

Right, I'd brag about teams that made the playoffs every once in while too, if that's all I had to brag about. Reality is this, the Patriots best all time player, until Brady, was a guard. A guard, probably one of the 3 least marquee positions in football.

With regards to who won what and when, all the teams had the same rules in all eras. So acting like the modern era is the only one that counts is more idiocy. Of course, if my team sucked ass for it's first 40 years I'd like to forget them too.
