I think we all can agree the Super Bowl years are the most memorable for most of us, so I'm just curious what seasons other than those really stick out as memorable in the years you've been watching. For me there were several:
1989 - Only because this was my first year where I really started to get into the Packers. I was 7. I watched a fan favorite Don Majkowski lead the Packer to an improbable 10-6 record. I watched the last game of the year on I believe Monday night as the Vikings needed to lose to the Bengals for the Packers to win the division and make the playoffs. They didn't.
2003 - As much as I dislike Favre now, I found it impossible at the time not to get sucked into the late-season drama. The Monday Night performance after his father's passing. And then in one of my most memorable moments as a Packer fan, watching an unbelievable rally down by 11 by the league-worst Cardinals against the Vikings capped by an improbable Josh McCown to Nathan Poole touchdown on 4th and 24 as time expired to win us the division. Followed up by Al Harris' pick 6 in OT the following week against the Seahawks in the "we want the ball and we're gonna score" playoff game. It's such a shame that 4th and 26 defined this season -- this could have been a Super Bowl team.
2007 - After a couple years of a mini-rebuild, being a Packer fan became fun again this year. They surpassed all expectations with a 13-3 season and I was in Green Bay for the run to the NFC title game capped by a devastating OT loss in the bitter cold.
2013 - Though we didn't win a playoff game, the 2013 will be memorable to me simply because of everything that was overcome to win a division yet again. The injuries, missing Rodgers half the season, and every time it seemed our season was dead, something would happen to restart the heartbeat on it. There was no hope left for the season down 26-3 at halftime to the Cowboys, yet somehow, an unbelievable 2nd half rally, some help, and a Rodgers to Cobb pass to beat the Bears later, the 2013 season was not lost. Still proud of the team in the game against the 49ers despite the heartbreaking loss.
