OK, now that we've had a few days to digest this NFC championship game, I'd thought I'd do something fun. I had been thinking about this lately and post my top 5 all time favorite Packer games. You can use whatever criteria you like, whether it be importance of game or entertainment value. I chose the latter with the former sprinkled in. No Super Bowls allowed though. Mine are:
5. 1997 vs. Dallas. We finally get some satisfaction after years of playoff losses to the hated Cowboys.
4. 2010 Divisional game vs. Atlanta. Rodgers had a career game and Tramon Williams' pick 6 at the end of the first half.
3. 2007 Divisional game vs. Seattle. The "Snow Globe" game and Favre's last win as a Packer. I always love these type of weather games. Ryan Grant redeeming himself with 201 yards rushing after singlehandedly spotting Seattle to a 14-0 lead after two fumbles on the first two possessions. The Packers then scoring touchdowns on six straight possessions and Favre throwing snowballs as the snow came down.
2. 1993 Wild Card game vs. Detroit. Favre to Sharpe with less than a minute left to win the game and Teague's 101 yard pick six as Detroit was driving to possibly put the game out of reach. The game that started off a now 28 year run with Hall of Fame quarterbacking and consistent playoff contention.
1.1995 Divisional game vs. San Francisco. A quick 21-0 lead and eventual win on the road against the heavily favored 49ers proved to be a watershed game that announced to the football world that we are for real and are here to stay.
Honorable mention:
1996 vs. San Francisco. Monday Night Football highlighted by Don Beebe's 220 yards receiving.
1994 game vs. Chicago on Halloween night. The monsoon game at Soldier Field once again on MNF. Favre fails to complete a pass until the second half but the Packers romp 33-6.
1996 NFCCG vs. Carolina. Back in the Super Bowl after a 29 year drought, consisting mainly of bad football.
