I know we swept the pack in 2009. I was wondering how many times we swept the division. This year
we were 5-1 in NFC north games

NFC North sweep ??

Re: NFC North sweep ??
I know you didn't say this, but we didn't even sweep the north in 09.
I did a quick Google search but I couldn't find that answer. Maybe somebody else can.

Re: NFC North sweep ??
After a quick search, it would appear 1973 was the most recent divisional sweep for the purple and gold.

Re: NFC North sweep ??
It was a bit tougher to sweep the division prior to 2001 when there were 5 teams in our division. We came close in 1998 when our only loss of the regular season was to Tampa Bay.
Re: NFC North sweep ??
yeah I would say its incredibly rare to sweep every game in a division in one season..
chances are you would one have a loss or two all season to achieve that feet. ( if your good enough
to beat three teams twice, you won't many others)

Re: NFC North sweep ??
I misss Tampa, our division is too small now.
Sweeping really is tough, your own division knows you really well so its tough to sneak up on anyone. However, this year it IS feasible. The Lions suck and are losing talent, The Bears are a shambles esp in Defense, and Green Bay has some serious holes ( You better hope they dont land Forte)......

What serious holes are you reffering too? Id imagine your thinking Offensively given the events of last season but I seriously doubt an Aaron Rodgers led offense is going to stay down for long. (If you can call an Offense that is better then half of the league 'down'.)chicagopurple wrote:I misss Tampa, our division is too small now.

Don't worry, I have no doubt in my mind GB is not even remotely interested in Forte, too much $$ for a dude with good hands and a 3.9 ypc average for most of his career.
