A lot more teams would be on the list if we included “shoulda, but failed when we had a chance.”
Lions, Bills, Saints, Jags, to name a few. 49ers, Chiefs, and even Patriots would be on this list numerous more times.
Super Bowl appearances since our most recent:
Seahawks 3
Patriots 6
Chiefs 5
Eagles 3
49ers 3
Broncos 2
Rams 2
Bucs
Bengals
Falcons
Panthers
Ravens
Giants
It is not as hard as we make it out to be. It should not be this hard for an organization that seems to have an internal belief and belief among their fanbase that they are very well-run. It should not be this hard for an organization that has benefited from high end QB play for almost this entire stretch.
I’m not sure exactly what he’d be right now, but I agree he probably wouldn’t be anywhere near what he’s produced in Seattle.
Still wish we had him, obviously.
Picking top 2-4 is a great dream but statistically highly unlikely to happen, since both us and New Orleans would have to hit the top 4 lottery spots.
New Orleans looks like a decent bet for top 4 but obviously no sure thing. We are much more of a long shot but in this case we would need both of us to win the draw.
We are I think 10th from the bottom in record. If we could slip to maybe 6th which is totally possible than we can at least assure a top 6-8 pick.
Average is rewarded in Green Bay with a contract extension.
It’s been made very clear that as long as we can fill the stadium and be able to point to teams like the Jets and Browns and say “see those guys have it WAY worse”, we aren’t going to rock the boat much with the front office.
Wow, good for Patriot fans, has to be so rewarding to see their team finally make it back, So deserved, can’t imagine how tough the dark ages of 2022-2024 were for them after the Brady/Bellichick era.
Next time someone utters the words, “Packer fans are so spoiled,” I’m going to move to Boston so I can be as spoiled as they say I am.
If the Packers even win their conference next year that will be 16 seasons between Super Bowl appearances.
“Modern era” is obviously subjective. But for perspective, the current drought is longer than the Mike Holmgren to Mike McCarthy Super Bowl drought.
I don’t know much about Gannon other than he seemed to be a really bad HC. But I’m assuming he must have been a pretty good DC to get that gig in the first place. Hopefully one of those much better coordinator than coach types,
I can’t imagine any more Bucks move than trading our 2031 to try to cling to the play-in tournament.
How is this the only Wisconsin sports team in the modern era to win a championship? Because they’re by far the most poorly run.
Woodruff, Miz, Priester, and Patrick all look like locks or near locks for the rotation to me.
So that’s maybe one open spot for one of Henderson, Sprout, and Gasser. Maybe they look for a Quintana veteran type for camp, but I don’t think they have a depth problem.
They got that, no? Jett and Sprout both are MLB ready players. Jett should primarily play SS and CF. Assuming Chourio is going to play more in the corners going forward, SS and CF are probably our two biggest areas of need for improvement in the lineup.
Well, there are no guarantees. No one felt this way about Joey after his first year, he looked like he made it worth it himself after one year, and then he regressed.
But Burnes would not be on this roster now regardless.
When they traded Corbin Burnes it made the 2024 Brewers worse, and they still won 93 games and the division.
The Brewers will always be in the position of having to make tough choices that make their next season worse to hopefully make the 3-5 season after that better. Just the way it is, and the main reason they haven’t had to rebuild since 2016.
Like I really thought everyone here would be in love with this. It’s a versatile top 30 prospect with control, pop, speed, and can get on base. He can probably be either a super sub or be an immediate upgrade from Joey. And a fringe top 100 pitcher.
I don’t get how anyone can possibly be disappointed. It’s Myers plus a year of Freddy. We were never going to re-sign him. What was anyone expecting? This is the literal highest of high expectation that I thought we could get.
I’m so shocked that anyone is upset by this. It’s one year of Peralta plus a fringe guy in Tobias. I never would have dreamed that would fetch a top 30 MLB prospect plus a really good pitching prospect.
Almost always, when we trade for prospects, most of us are left going, “who?” and doing a Google search.
This is not one of these trades. Fantastic get for a year of Freddy plus Myers.
I doubt I will see a Wisconsin Badger national championship in my lifetime. But I would have considered an Indiana Hoosier national championship even more unlikely.
