What my fear is with the Green Bay defense and the big plays they have had against them.

They've had that problem all year ...

Hey..Just remembered something. This year-season, is the Packers 100th year.

They were admitted into the APFA in August 1921. The APFA was renamed the NFL a year or so later.

Note;

On Aug. 27, 1921, at a meeting of the American Professional Football Association, the minutes state, “Motion made, seconded and carried that Acme Packers of Green Bay, Wisconsin, be admitted to membership.” J. Emmett Clair, John’s younger brother, represented the Packers at the meeting. Less than a year later, the APFA would change its name to the NFL.

But back to 1921.

The Packers switched their practice site to the old courthouse grounds in downtown Green Bay and then to Hagemeister Park before playing four non-league games, starting on Sept. 25. On Oct. 23, 1921, the Packers played their first APFA game and beat the Minneapolis Marines, 7-6.
