    The win over 49ers in San Francisco in January of 1996. That's when I knew the Packers were in the big time even though they would lose the NFC Championship to Dallas.
    My favorite moment in that game was when (correct me if I'm wrong on the player) Gabe Wilkinson scooped up a fumble and went in for the first score of the game. My son was only a year old and I was standing and holding him as that play happened. I swear to God I nearly spiked him on the floor.

    It was in that moment I knew that the Packers were for real and every good thing that had happened in the previous four seasons were harbingers of a new golden era and not the cruel components of another false spring.

    (I still say that the Packer team that lost to Dallas the next week was better than many Super Bowl teams that have come and gone since then, including our own '97 squad.)

      Favorite moment wasnt even when the Packers were playing! Cards Vikings thats all I have to say!
      I remember having friends over for that game. While we were happy for a "meaningless win" we suddenly remember hearing the crowd so we we opened the front door and could hear the crowd just going crazy, so we knew something happened. Sure enough, AZ just scored a TD to knock the Queens out!!! That was awesome!
      I have DirectTV Sunday Ticket and we has some friends over for that game and were going back and forth between the games. Couldn't believe that finish. We were sure we were out. Amazing.

        I'm dating myself here...hence my "rat" name. My best Packer memory was having my ears glued to the radio during the Ice Bowl and listening to that last drive that was culminated by Bart Starr sneaking the ball into the end zone. Cowgirls are still crying about that game saying he didn't get in...bunch of babies.
