1st to 4, 3rd to 5, and maybe 1st to 6. Good case for the greatest franchise in modern history.

Dream on buddy:

The Green Bay Packers have won more championships -- 12 -- than any other team in National Football League history. They won their first three by league standing (1929, 1930 and 1931), and nine since the NFL's playoff system was established in 1933 (1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1996). Green Bay also is the only NFL team to win three straight titles, having done it twice (1929-30-31 and 1965-66-67). In addition, the Packers won the first two Super Bowls (over Kansas City in 1966, 35-10, and over Oakland in 1967, 33-14), as well as a more recent one (over New England in 1996, 35-21). Since the league implemented a playoff system in 1933, the Packers have played in the NFL's deciding game 12 times (10 NFL title appearances from 1936-67, two Super Bowls after the 1970 merger). Only the Giants (18) have played for more titles. Most World Championships: Green Bay Packers, 12 Chicago Bears, 9 New York Giants, 7 Dallas Cowboys, 5 Pittsburgh Steelers, 5 San Francisco 49ers, 5 Washington Redskins, 5 Cleveland Browns, 4 Detroit Lions, 4 Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts, 4

That’s the difference between all time and modern era. Modern era for the NFL is generally considered to be the same as Super Bowl era. Green Bay is only in the 3 club, which is impressive, but we’re gunning for 6.
