The Packers are my favorite team because they are the team that is the closest to where I live, they have great players, there is a very good backstory to the team, and they have had many ups and downs in their 100 years as a team. Those are numerous reasons why they are my favorite team. The Packers have had many coaches. Mike McCarthy is their most recent permanent head coach (one that has coached a game). Mike McCarthy was the coach for the Packers from 2006-2018. He has led them to a Super Bowl victory, many NFC championships, numerous playoff appearances, and he brought up one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. His overall team record is 135 wins, 85 losses, and 2 draws, including playoff games.

The Packers have had many adventures while with Vince Lombardi, including going to 7 championships and 2 Superbowls.  Vince Lombardi has taught the team valuable lessons, like that winners never quit and to keep working hard. His overall coaching record with the Packers is 105 wins, 35 losses, and 6 draws, which includes playoff wins and losses.  Two of his more famous quotes are “Winning is a habit. Unfortunately so is losing” and “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender”. Vince Lombardi is an inspiration to every Packer player, fan, and supporter.

The Packers have gone to 13 championships and 5 Super Bowls and they have only lost one. They won Super Bowl I, II, XXXI, and XLV.  The first Super Bowl was in 1967 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The score was 35-10. The second Super Bowl was in 1968, and the Packers won against the Oakland Raiders 33-14.

The Packers have Hall of Famers, 20 of them in fact. The first one was Curly Lambeau in 1963. In 1967 Vince Lombardi was put in the Hall of Fame, followed by Bart Starr in 1977. Brett Favre was inducted in 2016. Reggie White was another great Packer Hall of Famer who helped the

Packers win a Superbowl. He was a defensive end.

That is why the Packers are my favorite NFL team. They have a lot of history, and many cool players. The coaches are nice to learn about as well. The players are the best part of the Packers. Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Jimmy Graham, and Aaron Jones are some great players that are on the team now. Even though they went 6-9-1 this season, they will make improvements and will get better and win more games. Everybody can improve at something that they aren't good at. That is what the Packers are going to do this season: improve. That is why they are one of the best teams in the NFL.
