That's why the ‘D' word has been rarely used to describe the Packers of today. Their last two Super Bowl victories came 14 years apart.

But talk of a dynasty will certainly heat up if the Packers win another Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 5. Any team with a chance to win three straight is going to be the object of intense and endless discussion on that topic. After all, only twice in the 92-year history of the NFL have teams won three in a row: The 1929-31 Packers before there were playoffs - when the title was decided by the final standings - and the 1965-67 Lombardi teams.

But even if the Packers fall short this year, their current run of success still ranks among the best ever.

It started in 1992 with the arrival of Ron Wolf, Mike Holmgren and Brett Favre, and it hit the 20-year mark this season with Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers leading the way.

During that period, the Packers have finished with a winning record 16 times and made the playoffs 14 times.

They also can subjectively claim the longest uninterrupted streak of great quarterback play in the history of the NFL. For 20 years, they've had two quarterbacks: Favre, a cinch to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Rodgers, who is building a similar resume.
