Seahawks21 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm sorry I can't get this word for word, as it was on local sportsradio a few minutes ago but I found it rather entertaining "You just have to realize that when you play against the Steelers in the Super Bowl, you are twice as likely to get called for a penalty as they are" They certainly have a large enough sample size to where this isn't just a simple random occurrence. They must just be that well coached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The Packers hired a bunch of ex Steelers to coach. Hope we get the same preferential treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Rookie Me........ Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have never in my life met a people that collectively whines as much as the inhabitants of Seattle. No wonder the suicide rates in Seattle are higher then any other city. You my friend have made my day, I can not stop smiling at your propensity to stay and remain bitter for the rest of your lifes. LOL life is grand except when you are a Seattle sports fan, actually scratch that, except when you live in Seattle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polksalet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 How do you equate the Green Bay Packers NFL Franchise with 'Culture of Failure'? I think most would agree that winning 1 superbowl pretty much equates to failure. I mean, that is only one more than the Lions, Cardinals, and is tied with the Ravens whou have only been around for a little while. Am I forgetting some wins? I know that 70ish years ago GB won some stuff but it was before the merger and the superbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's just a coincidence the SuperBowl trophy is named after a Packer's coach for winning the first 2 Super Bowls. Polksalet you're embarrassing yourself.

piratesownninjas Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 How do you equate the Green Bay Packers NFL Franchise with 'Culture of Failure'? May I suggest doing some research? How did Jacob Hester work out for you? And it's just a coincidence the SuperBowl trophy is named after a Packer's coach for winning the first 2 Super Bowls. Polksalet you're embarrassing yourself. Yep, now I'm reminded why I had him on ignore for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) The ignorance in this post is just flat out No kidding. We had 2 down decades but since fixing the team president - over the last 16 years Green Bay 167 wins 1 SB Pittsburgh 160 wins 2 SB All time record against Green Bay 13 18 0 .419 These are 2 of the most successful teams in the NFL. Pittsburgh had bad seasons too but in 1 they got Roethlisberger. That looks pretty good right now.

Why not go the last 20 yeas? I mean that is a nice even number, it makes more sense, unless of course you are trying to skew statistics.

I just updated to include all time records. From Football Reference Most years in the playoffs 30 NYG 29 Dallas 28 Cleveland 27 The Rams 25 Minnesota and Pittsburgh 24 Green Bay and Chicago 23 San Francisco 22 Colts, Redskins and Dolphins 21 Eagles, Raiders and the Titans/Oilers.

That's really interesting, and I never would have thunk it: The Titans/Oilers are tied with the most playoff appearances of the original 8 AFL teams. That's good drunk betting material right there, especially against Oakland fans. The Phins werre a 68 start-up, and Pitt and Colts moved intot he AFC.
