32 comments

1. So damn beautiful

2. Ended up being the difference when you think about it…won 31-25…

3. Excessive Celebration… just imagine today.

4. I don’t remember the flags. Was that for excessive celebration?

5. LEAPS!!

6. Who the f is Howard green! lol I wish I cud upvote like a million times!

7. His injury is the biggest reason we never went back to the super bowl.

8. Damn I went nuts when he picked this off.

   It sucks his career was cut short.

9. Nick Collins and Sam Shields were the unspoken heros of that team

10. The slide gives me chills. A picture I’ll never forget

11. Remove the exclamation point from the caption. Joe buck is so lackluster on big plays if it’s a team he and his buddy Troy don’t care for

12. Three pick sixes in that run.

    One of my favorite figures in my collection

14. Imagine Collins picking off Wilson late in the 4th quarter of the nfc title game instead of Morgan… we’re going to the Super Bowl off of a game sealing pick six.

15. I hate listening to Buck. Zero emotion.

16. That’s an all timer for me. Top 3 Packer moment in my brain for sure.

17. Call me crazy but the D line got good push up the middle and caused the throw to come up short on basically a 3 man rush. Pickett had a fumble recovery in the game too if I remember right.

    The D line for us needs to show up for us next year if we are to maximize our good young safeties.

    We also basically have to build to stop the Eagles and Lions if we are to “go all in”. Which means battling with the best O line/RB combos in football.

    Just pointing this out because everyone seems to think Edge, WR, OL, CB are our biggest needs. I think the eventual replacement for Clark is also in the cards if a good DT falls to us.

18. With a best supporting role by Howard Green and a cameo by Driver congratulating Collins!

19. What a fucking guy.

    Also, excessive celebration my ass.

20. Nick “hit stick” collins!

21. Nick Collins would have been an all time great if he didn’t get injured….

22. Biggest play of Howard Green’s career.

23. Such an iconic picture of him celebrating…… can’t believe that was a a flag (well aware that it was against the rules at the time No Fun League)

24. Fitting to see a Nick Collins post on the day Sharpe got into the HoF. Two of the biggest what ifs in NFL history.

25. God that season and that game, all dreams come true. That team was just special, next man up and everything till the very last second.

26. Nick Collins was the missing link in another Super Bowl run. It’s a shame how his career ended because he would’ve been great for a lot longer. Cheers to Nick Collins for the great memories and great career

27. “Excessive celebration” for a pick six in the Super Bowl?!?

    Bite me.

28. What a night this was!

29. That secondary was on such a heater during that SB Run

30. Nick Collins is my favorite packer of all time. If he never gets hurt the packers go back to back

31. I mean I definitely remember it. But Buck’s call is just so horrible. I mean I’m not expecting every call to be “he did WHAT!?!” level. Buck is just so unenthused by the play, it drags the highlight down.

32. Nick Collins was going places before his unfortunate neck injury 😞

    I remember when he scored that pick six my watch party was going crazy.

    That defense we had was elite through and through.
