Old Packers highlight videos

Because I grew up without television, I didn't start following the Packers until the NFC Championship Game against the Panthers, which I just happened to find while surfing the channels on the radio. And even after that, I was only able to follow the games on the radio until I left home for good. As a result, I have never seen a lot of the classic games and big plays you old-timers reminisce about, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I know that there are almost no surviving whole game tapes for games before the 1970s at last, but Ted Thompson would be really cool to see at least highlight videos of these older games.

To start things out, here is a video of the climax of the famous 1989 "replay game" against the Chicago Bears. I believe this was the first NFL game in which instant replay affected the outcome.

Some of the comments posted on that video are interesting too.

That was the day I became a full fledged Packers fan. And Don Majkowski and Sterling Sharpe fan, although I liked Sharpe even as a rookie, mainly because my dad said Lynn Swann was better. I had to be "different". Surely, Rourke you know what that's like. :)

There's this play and then Packers beating the Bears on their turn en route to the Super Bowl. Do the Bears have any such thing?

That was a beautiful throw. Reminds me of Rodgers

A lot of Majkowski highlights remind me of Rodgers. Their mechanics were similar in many ways, especially when Majkowski was out of the pocket. Rodgers usually looks a lot more fluid and graceful than Majkowski did in this play, though. He practically tripped over that 15-yard line. =d>

C'mon, old timers. Surely you have some classic plays and games to share with the young'uns like me![-o<

There are many that I could throw into this thread.. I will start with one of the single most memorable Packers moments I can recall.

Oct 17th, 1983... a good Packers team (for the Packers of the 70's and 80's that is) taking on the defending Superbowl champs in the Skins.

Drive after drive.. pass after pass.. matching the champs score for score in what seemed light a boxing match of matching jabs.

From Mad Dog jarring the ball loose early to a late miss by Mark Moseley... the game was simply one of the best games I have ever experienced let alone a Packer game. Visions of a carried off Kellen Winslow come to mind as a comparison.

Simply a joy to watch.

No Youtube clip that I have found..

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Great game, MNF was huge for me when The Packers played, was one of the few times I would get to watch them on tv.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
