EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE STANDARD IS.

The Green Bay Packers earned a spot in the playoffs, a division title, a first-round bye, and a second drubbing in Santa Clara.  I'm hearing none of the "at the beginning of the season, if someone had told you" subjunctive stuff that often accompanies teams that chronically underachieve or that mount a surprising run.  Rather, the sports talkers and radio callers are wishing for regime change in the defensive coaching staff, and there are even people thinking about the succession at quarterback.  That might be a good thing, in the long run people hit what they aim at, and aiming at "good enough" isn't good enough.

Bart Starr was not Vince Lombardi's first quarterback.
