"Greatest" games of all time

I refuse to watch that garbage because without even looking I already know it's a bunch of "instant classics" the Packers are on the wrong side of.

Lemme guess 2 of the games....

NFC CG vs. Seattle

Wild Card loss vs AZ when our QB's facemask was yanked to the ground in OT

No thanks

It's the Ice Bowl for me.

Off the top of my head, I figure the Dolphin Charger game with Kellen Winslow would be up there for me as well as the Bills comeback win against the Oilers.

I remember watching that Dolphin/Charger game.  That definitely was a great game.

Greatest Packer game - Packers Bears 2010 NFC Championship

Greatest Non-Packer game - Chargers Dolphins divisional playoff

Greatest Non-Packer game that wasn't actually all that great of a game but will always be one of my top 3 non Packer football memories for so many obvious reasons - "This is not Detroit man this is the Super Bowl" 

The Ice Bowl is THE greatest football game ever played. Period.

The greatest Super Bowl win was XXXI vs the Cheatriots. 

The greatest game the Packers played that wasn't a playoff game may be the MNF win vs the Redskins in 1983.

The game that's widely picked for the "greatest" (Baltimore/NY Giants 1st playoff overtime 1958) isn't even close, IMO. I never hear it mentioned by anybody other than people from those 2 cities.

I don't know how to pick a greatest game not involving the Pack. There's so many of them; from the Chargers/Dolphins and Bills/Oilers previously mentioned, to the "Immaculate Reception" game as another exaample.

Don't remember the year but the Christmas 2OT playoff game between the Dolphins & Chiefs was a classic. I think Curt Gowdy about lost his voice in that one.

Packers vs. Redskins '83 Monday night game was entertaining, especially if you like scoring. 

That game was ahead of its time!

Topic that's open to much interpretation to say the least.

Best "game" that I had no emotional tie to

Chargers/Dolphins playoff game has got to be right there.  Winslow.  Hook and ladder.  

Best schadenfreude of all Mother Effing time

Most underrated game that involves the Packers

Beating the Niners in SF in 1995.  It was a pretty huge upset, and the Packers dominated the first half and held off an experienced team coming off a SB.  It was the coming out party to the rest of the NFL that Green Bay was for real.  I remember every moment of that game.  My father and I were so superstitious that we watched the game with no lights on (duh, Packers were winning with no lights, don't turn them on for god's sake), and we had to leave the shower fan going the entire game.  Loved that game, loved beating the Niners, Newsome's fumble return.  

The hands down, not really close most intense awesome game ever

2010 NFCCG.  Granted I wasn't alive for the Ice Bowl, but to me 2010 was the greatest Packer season ever, and beating the Bears, in Chicago, to go to the Super Bowl?  HOT DAMN.  I tell people that I think my father would have had a heart attack had they lost that game.  As great as the Super Bowl was the following game, it can't get more intense than that.  And, all after beating the piss out of Favre twice that year?    I don't think that season will ever be topped.  

I am still pissed to this day that they didn't call the obvious PI as Jordy get obliterated.  

And, yeah, that's a GREAT game.  

Golden Corral vs Ace Hardware 2004 Fireman's Softball Tournament.  

Both teams had talent, but Golden Corral was next level.  Everyone hated them and they knew it.  Tie game in the third, then wham, 6 runs out of nowhere.  

I remember a playoff game that involved the Bengals. It was brutally cold and Tim Krummeri broke his leg in that game.  Game was very close too.   Only reason I sort of remember this is because I knew Tim's brother Dave. 

What happened in the 2nd half?

Chargers Bengals.  1981 AFCCG the week after the Charger/Phins game.  Coldest game in NFL history (coldest per wind chill factor).  Bengals won easily 27-7.

Krumrie broke his leg in the Super Bowl against the Niners in 1989.

But, other than that, you remembered it pretty well!

Just because of what was at stake, I thought the Giants/Pats Super Bowl following the '07 season was the most entertained I have been other than a Packers game. I hated the Pats at that time and was rooting for the Giants to make them 18-1.  They did, and it took one of the most miraculous plays in the David Tyree catch to make it happen.

The funny thing is that I found myself rooting FOR the Pats instead of against them in their Seahawks Super Bowl matchup.

Fouadya.

Did you know everything in the 2008 Merriam Webster Dictionary starts with the letter "E"

This is turning into the greatest thread of all time. 

Not particularly relevant, but I feel like I need to post another reference from an adult targeted animation show.  #sploosh

Agree, Yooper. I remember that in that game several of Favre's passes were not well thrown (understandably so), and how the receivers bailed him out. 

Greatest Packers games?  well I think the Ice Bowl is too easy but I will stick with ones I remember (I was 6 months old when the Ice Bowl happened)
My #1 is the NFC championship game win over the Panthers.  As someone who grew up in the dark ages and suffered for a long time that game brought a tear to my eye I won't lie

#2 is the NFCC game win over the Bears.  It meant alot to me after the beatdowns the Bears put on us in the Ditka years

#3 is my first Packers game ever.  It was a loss in Detoilet to the Lions in 1989 but finally seeing my team in person it couldnt be beat at the time.

Greatest game not involving the Packers?   

I would think the 1957(?) game between the Colts and Giants for the title.  I think the Giants had a OC of Lombardi and a DC in Tom Landry

Chargers vs. Dolphins playoff game in the 80's

Any game the Vikings or Bears choked or lost

Vikings getting thottled in NY 41-0

Gotta give the obligatory nod to the Cardinals victory over the Vikings December, 2003 for the 'greatest non-Packer' game category. That was a stunner! And knocking the Vikes out of playoff contention...schweet! 

Gary Anderson missing his only kick of the season in the DeKnee game was pretty sweet also.

I'd go with the Ice Bowl but the championship game in Dallas the year before was also really good. Dave Robinson forced a pick when Dallas was right there for the tying score.

add in the 2007 NFCC vs. NYG and the 1998 WC vs. San Fran (when Jerry fumbled)

The 2015 Bears/Packers game where the Packers had a 35-0 lead by halftime will always hold a special place in my heart.
