    That was cool seeing Harris' interception again. I was at the game and the camera shot was from the same side of the field that we were sitting on. So, it looks on tv just like it looked from the stands. I was struck by a few things watching the game. First, it seems like ages since the Packers were in a game of that magnitude. Man, we need to get back to that. Also, Favre looks like he's aged about 15 years since that game. Finally, we have better athletes on defense now than we did then, so there is hope.

    Deaths in the family , cancer, floods with total devastation, these things will age you.

      Some wierd observations from that game:

      Cris Collinsworth was a like a promo man for the Pack O-Line. I remembered a little of this, but it was much more extreme than I remembered

      It sure did seem like a long time ago, it was amazing how much the roster has turned over since then.

      Jamal Reynolds got in the game as a pass rusher on the last play. He never got out of his own footprints as the tackle completely stymied him.

      At the end of the game, Brett rolled around on the ground with Torrance Marshall. Talk about two opposite career paths.

      The sight of Ed Donatil was enough to get me angry. That guy was a gimmick artist coach if there ever was one.

      Shermie's "deer in the headlights" look was almost good to see again.

      I think I'm finally ready to watch 4-26 again. NFL classic - style. It's good to hear the original broadcast.

        Well, Hasselbeck was partly right. After all, he DID throw the game winning TD in that game.

          Oddly enough, so am I. I wonder if they will replay it in the near future. I'd like to record it.

          PLUS - I wish they would re-air the Oakland game, the day after Favre's father passed away. Amazing game....simply amazing.

            >>Imagine the 2003 offense and the 2007 defense...<<

            Wait, is the 2007 season over? I'm hopeful too, but we'll see what they can do. Expectations are nice to have, but sometimes hard to live up to. We'll see how they respond to a tougher schedule, and we'll see if they can shore up the db's big play give-ups. Perhaps Harrell will help in that regard by helping to disrupt the timing of the opposing offense more.

              You know you are a sick Packer fan when...

              You find yourself rooting for them to score in the final seconds of regulation, when you have a pretty good idea the game goes into overtime!

              And the game was played eons ago !!

              Very sick,
              Is it really a halo or
              just a swelled head ?

                Carpe Diem, eh? I think the Packers did the Carpe Diem thing like that guy in Dead Poet's Society (The 'I can't talk to my dad so I think I'll shoot myself' guy).

                And, no matter what you say, I know you give a damn - otherwise you wouldn't have replied. Uh oh, I'd better be careful, I feel a Sally Field 'Oscar Moment' coming on....

                    Man, I'd love to see that ballgame again.

                      All these memories of the best Packers' games, win or lose,

                      especially the Oakland game and SB, remind me that Favre's time

                      here is drawing shorter. Not meaning to be a downer here,

                      but it does "get" to me from time to time.

                        I TVO'd the game, have it taped, and am going to watch it as soon as I'm done posting here. I can't wait. I get to watch us actually WIN a playoff game. I'm so excited. In fact, I'm outa here, gonna go watch it right now.
