NFL's greatest game - GB v NY Giants

[Texpackerfan]

Just watched NFL's Greatest games - the NFC championship from the 2007 season.

I didn't realize how many players in that game were Super Bowl XLV (some obvious and some not so obvious): Jenkins, Pickett, Hawk, Donald Lee, Crosby, Brandon Jackson, Wells, Driver, Jennings, James Jones, Woodson, Bigby, Tramon Williams, Wells, Clifton, Tauscher, Hawk, Nick Collins, Jarret Bush, Edgar Bennett (coach), MM

Notable departures: Favre, Koren Robinson, Al Harris, Aaron Kampman, Franks

Others that were on IR: Barnett and Grant

Players/coaches that made an impact on playoff run that didn't play in that game: Rodgers, Raji, Matthews, Zombo, Starks, Nelson, Bulaga, Sam Shields, Walden, Kevin Greene

It's pretty impressive with how many players the Packers have gained since the championship that have made an impact. Also, from what I could see and remember they haven't really lost that many players from 3 years ago. And the players they still have either got much better (Williams) or have less playing time (Lee).

Funniest moment of the show:
Favre is scrambling.
MM says "what is he doing?"
Favre continues to scramble and then throws a pick.
MM: "Why would he do that?"
I thought it was pretty funny especially with MM's tone. It was like "come on man! This is the championship! Don't get reckless now."

MM was our coach at that time why did you list him?

Fixed. I put him on the wrong list.

I hate that game!

I will never watch that game or the highlights from that game again. Ever.

That wound will never heal.

I remember the pain all too well after that game but I have a difference perspective now. When I watched I didn't see a team lose the championship but the makings of a Super Bowl championship team. There were only a few missing pieces.

I was at the game against the Seahawks the week before. Amazing atmosphere! The title game you could pretty much tell for about 2/3 of the game that Favre just would not be able to get it done. Sense of impending doom one could say.

Big individual effort by Driver 90+ yard play. Not much else offensively all day especially the failing effort by Favre and Al Harris
