My list:
5) Favre MNF game vs. Raiders (after his father's death)
Let me start this off by saying: I can't stand the primadonna now. But at the time -- this was something to behold. And it wasn't just Favre's performance that was inspiring -- it was his receivers. Walker, Ferguson, Wesley Walls, guys who never really amounted to much, made some unbelievable plays. They took their game to a level that they seemingly weren't even capable of. They refused to let their QB down that night.
4) Al Harris pick 6 vs Hasslebeck
"We want the ball and we're going to score." This came from the same year as the one above. The 2003 season actually had some quite a few memorable moments, so it was beyond disappointing that 4th and 26 ended it all, because that team might have been able to go all the way.
3) McCown to Poole - Miracle in Arizona
The only moment that didn't actually involve a Packer game, the 2003 season should have been over without even a playoff berth. The Vikings were on their way to the division crown, up 17-6 with 2 minutes left against the worst team in the NFL at the time, the Cardinals. Inexplicably, the Cardinals first converted a 4th and 1 followed by recovering an onside kick, and on the last play of the game on 4th and 24, as time expired, McCown fired a pass to Poole in the endzone who came down and was ruled forced out to send the shocked Vikings home with an 18-17 Cardinals win.
2) Shields ends Bears' hopes and sends Packers to the Super Bowl
The ending was great enough as it was, but the fact that it occurred against the Bears made it all the more gratifying. It was the perfect way to get back to the Super Bowl.
1) Tramon ends Super Bowl 45
I still remember it well -- with Troy and Buck first shocked at first that no PI was called, then upon seeing the play again, realizing that it was simply a great defensive play. Any Super Bowl win is wonderful, but the injuries, both in this game and throughout the season, made this an unforgettable Super Bowl win.
Honorable mentions:
* Packers offense explodes against Falcons to send them to NFC Championship Game
* Tramon intercepts Vick to win Wild Card game vs. Philly
* Packers defeat eventual NFC Champion Bears 26-7 in final game of 2006 season
* Flynn and Rodgers 6 TD performance games
