Yea, I'd agree except as I said I'd extend the 70s into the early 80s. 84-89 was bad.....

and without 1979 they are actually a winning team from 1970-83.....actually from 1967 to 83 they are a winning team if you include 1979.

So from 1967 to 2000, IMO they were a team that was consistently a competitive team that teased fans. The exception in that period was 1984-90. The move to Millen in 2001 really set them back.

Back to the board

In the last 34 seasons from 1992-2025, the Packers have had 27 winning seasons, 2 .500 seasons and 5 losing seasons. Incredible with the planned parity of the NFL* - By Rich September 24, 2026 at 11:34:39 PM
- It occured to me last night as I watching them that it might be the worst I have ever seen the Packers look. ** - By dnvrblue September 25, 2026 at 11:58:07 AM
- There are 3 franchises with >60% winning percentage over that timeframe. The Pats (62.8%), Packers (62.8%), and Steelers (62.6%) - By brick September 24, 2026 at 11:40:50 PM
  - Pretty simple. Those three organizations have had stable ownership, very few head coach changes, the most QB stability (when they haven't had it is when they have struggled), and are historically not being free agent spenders.* - By gbmcq September 25, 2026 at 12:42:54 AM
    - In Rich's sample (1992-present), the Steelers are very interesting. From 1992-2003 (pre-Roethlisberger) the Steelers had the 4th best winning percentage (60.2%), made the playoffs 8 times and made one SB - By brick September 25, 2026 at 01:08:56 AM
      - I will not stand by as someone slurs the name of Bubby Brister.* - By jjwalker September 25, 2026 at 01:16:18 AM
        
        I'm not in the habit of gainsaying Bubby Brister, but did you know his real first name was Walter? - By brick September 25, 2026 at 01:39:27 AM
        
        It's about a thousand times better than Bubby. I'd rather go my Imanazi.* - By jjwalker September 25, 2026 at 02:20:16 AM
    - And massive luck. Yes, they did a good job of foreplanning when Favre was at the end, but it was ridiculously, insanely lucky that the next guy turned out to be one of the 5 greatest QBs in NFL history. 30+ years of elite QBing, yeah, that's going to save some coach's jobs.* - By jjwalker September 25, 2026 at 12:46:49 AM
  - Steelers in the 54 seasons from 1972-2025: 42 winning seasons, 5 .500 seasons, 7 losing seasons* - By Rich September 24, 2026 at 11:47:46 PM
  - And let's go further and break down the Pats' regular season record. That's 219-64 with Brady starting (77.3%), 126-140 otherwise (47.3%) - By brick September 24, 2026 at 11:46:05 PM
    - Yeah, but how much of that was Belichick. Someone should do an analysis.* - By jjwalker September 24, 2026 at 11:50:26 PM
  - The Lions are historically a .500ish franchise, but the 8 years of Millen/Morninghweg/Mariucci/Marinelli from 01-08 really hurt the numbers* - By Rich September 24, 2026 at 11:43:28 PM
    - Not germane to your timeframe, but "historically?" The Lions were the 4th worst team in the NFL in the 1980s (61-90-1, 40.5%) - By brick September 24, 2026 at 11:48:55 PM
      - 70s... - By Rich September 24, 2026 at 11:59:52 PM
      - The Lions were great in the 1950s, solid in the 1960s, slightly below average in the 1970s, toilet in the 1980s, pretty good in the 1990s - By brick September 24, 2026 at 11:50:31 PM
