It’s been a seven-and-a-half year wait for the Green Bay Packers to clinch another conference title.
The door to a once-imagined dynasty this decade has nearly closed, as the Packers have come up short each year since that glorious January 23, 2011 day at Soldier Field in which Green Bay reached Super Bowl XLV. Of course, it hasn’t been for a lack of drama, as wildly successful subsequent seasons have come to gloomy endings.
The Packers have seemingly been a player or two, or a defense away, from getting over the edge in that timeframe.
