Still can’t get over the fact that the Packers lucked into 3 top QBs in a row. Don Makowski was no slouch either pre-Favre. Those fans are lucky. Have the Packers ever had any kind of drought longer than 5 years

 

If you think Lynn Dickey was a "top QB," the answer is no, going all the way to Bart Starr.

 

Dickey is a bit of a stretch though (insert joke here)

The first taste of the Belichick misery that was to haunt us for over a decade and a half...

Second taste, he gave us misery in Super Bowl XXV too.

That Jets game is what made me not jump on the Flutie hype train. 

 

Yeah both Jets games that year.   Belichick figured him out pretty quick.  Make him throw from the pocket.

That was the game when Flutie's carriage turned into a pumpkin.

 

 

Yeah those are the REAL deflating losses.   When you realize your team has a fatal flaw.   The Fitz home loss to the Jets after their fast start was another one of those games.   They forced Fitz out of the dink and dunk and using the middle of the field and he couldn't handle the big boy throws.   That season fell apart after opponents saw that tape.  And with Flutie the year after teams employed the Belichick D on him and that's why the offense struggled in 1999.
