Mccarthy’s face while getting creamed by the Gatorade is still hilarious to me
What an unbelievable run that year. It’s been disappointment after disappointment since…
Thought it was gonna be the first of many
Sad face
I’m still shocked we’ve never even made it back to the SB since this run. So many golden opportunities missed and playoff nightmares after pure delight. GPG!
Genuinely thought this was the start of a dynasty. I still cherish having experienced this, but the “what could have been” looms large.
Statistically speaking, we are behind if we don’t make the next SB. To be “average” (in a world of large numbers, which we don’t live in, I know) you would need to make at least 1 SB every 16 years and win one at least every 32 years. On average, of course.
🥲
Legendary run, I was only 12, but god I remember I felt in my bones that that squad was gonna go on a run.
And every year, I cherish those memories more and more
This was the first season I started really watching the Packers. My mom fired a shotgun out our back door to celebrate. I still remember how it felt. We gotta get back there.
Bittersweet. I remember the games and the feeling of winning it all.
But….there are many fans/media who will look back at the failures rather than that one championship. 2014 NFC title game sticks out more than the SB. 2020 and getting three picks off the GOAT leading to nothing was bad.
This was on the day of my 21st birthday. I was too nervous to drink..then when we won my grandma took me out and we got drunk haha. Love ya Gram Gram and Go Pack Go!!
Kinda crazy to think the gap between the 1996 and 2010 super bowls is smaller than how long it’s been since we won the super bowl.
It’s galling to think there’s been no SB appearance since then, let alone a win.
When you think about the players, the GOAT included, it’s insane to think it never happened.
My first game of American Football ever, made me a cheesehead for life.
Best day of my life 🧀
Nick Collins being penalized for “unsportsmanlike conduct” just for going to the ground after scoring a touchdown still irritates me to this day; one of the NFL’s all-time *dumbest* rules in the timeframe which it existed.
Collins wasn’t even celebrating in front of the Steelers’ sideline; in that **hypothetical**, the penalty would’ve been justified.
“It is time”
# “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”
Nick Collins not getting a full career is still so disappointing
I’m kind of amazed by the gloomy reactions here and the “what else could’ve been” chat. In my 35 years of being a Packer fan, I’ve been lucky enough to see to them win it all twice and I cherish those memories. This shit is rare and plenty of fans of other teams will never have the chance to see there boys reach the mountaintop.
We’ve had plenty of better chances at a chip but this year was pure magic, it *shouldnt* have been. We were a banged up 8th seed that went on a magic run through Philly, Atlanta (what a game), and Chicago (what a game x2) against all the odds. We beat a probably the last great Steelers team in a game that turned on a couple huge moments. Clay made the ultimate game changing play (fuck that was epic) and even still Big Ben had a chance at the end.
If you still have PTSD from 2014, I hear you I’ve got it too. But this post is about one of the most legendary playoff runs any team has ever had, so no matter the let downs we’ve had since, I’m gonna bask in these glorious memories. Go watch the highlights and cheer up.
