For many of today’s Green Bay Packers fans, the 2017 season and into the 2018 season thus far has been a time that they haven’t experienced much in their fandom for the green and gold. Looking back to the 1993 season, a season where the Packers ended a playoff drought that began after the 1982 season, the franchise has only missed the NFC playoffs just six times in 25 seasons. Barring a series of miraculous events this year, the Packers will likely be missing their seventh playoff appearance in 26 years.
A quick look back at the seasons since 1993 where the Packers missed the playoffs provides both some ominous undertones as well as some reasons to have hope for the future.
