Great video, I didn't know this was a whole series.. Im a Raiders Fan but still LOVE to learn about Other NFL teams

My first Packers game was the 1967 playoff game in Milwaukee (Our hometown) against the Rams. Cold but sunny, my dad and I. NEVER forget it.

Wjhat a bold video about the state of race issues! I am a Vikings fan, but I respect what Lombardi did as a human being.

My dad was mentioned in Chester Marcol's book. He was his rehab counselor. Michael Wilson, that's my dad. That's my connection to the Packers. I remember my older brother competing against his son in track & field. Chester Marcol is honestly one of my heroes. The way he battled and won against adversity.

Vince Lombardi was such a great man and I wish more knew his whole story.

The Hadl trade was disastrous. The draft picks GB gave up for him lowered the Packers' talent level significantly for a decade, and denied Bart Starr a fair chance to be successful as coach.

I enjoyed the 70's Packers hopefully they will return to this greatness soon

The glory days were replaced by the gory days

The thing is the Vikings were just a better team in the 70's with Bud Grant as coach and Fran Tarkenton as QB. Even though the Vikings lost those Super Bowls in that 1970's decade, they still had that run of years of winning the division and making it to the Super Bowl. The Packers sadly just didn't have the players to keep up with the Vikings. Neither did the Bears, Lions, and eventually Bucs until 79.

The first 22 minutes is all about teams not from the 70s and race relations. Then finally we start to get into the great losses.

Many don't know, V.L pioneered "rule blocking" as a universal blocking scheme applied to ANY offense -vs- ANY defense. Since, ALL power offense, at all levels, have used this.

(31:34ff.) McCarren is wrong in saying Brockington "was the first back in history to gain 1, 000 yards 3 seasons in a row."
Jim Brown was (1958, '59, '60). And Jim Taylor was the first back to run for 1, 000 yards 5 years in a row (1960, '61, '62, '63, '64).

39:53 as a browns fan the worst trade actually now is the Deshaun Watson trade we gave up all that draft picks for him

[willielittle]

Coach Lombardi is the greatest NFL coach...No disrespect to coach Shula, coach Brown, coach Landry, or coach Bellichik...

[mikeframe]

Jerry Kramer is a treasure among treasures.

[JamalMcCoy-ktzf]

Bart Starr won 5 NFL championships and 2 Super Bowl wins has to put him right there with Tom Brady in terms of winning the big game....

[Lawomenshoops]

Rams traded • John Hadl to Packers for • 1975 first round pick (#9-Mike Fanning) • 1975 second round pick (#28-Monte Jackson) • 1975 third round pick (#61-Geoff Reece) • 1976 first round pick (#8-Dennis Lick) • 1976 second round pick (#39-Pat Thomas) on 1974-10-22

Lombardi probably would have won more Superbowl championships had he not gotten

[hippiesnorthwoods]

Coach Holmgren would've made coach Lombardi proud and if you think I'm wrong go and watch the h b o special Lombardi documentary
