My all-time favorite was Bart Starr sneaking over the goal line through a hole created by Jerry Kramer and Jim Ringo during the Ice Bowl against the Cowboys.

Yeah, I meant Butler, (why would a running back be on the field when our defense was out there). But, that was the greatest play ever, just how it happened when Reggie picked up the ball and handed it to Leroy, and then, when he leaped, it was pandimonium. And the tradition lives on and may always live on. We'll be explaining this play to our grandchildren, and they'll tell their grandchildren. The Lambeau Leap. The greatest play ever, by far."...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later. But nobody wants to win on that field anymore than I do, no one." Brett FavreComment

I was going NUTS when Jennings broke free. I jumped out of my chair and started jumping around. Seeing Favre run to the end zone, and getting 420 THAT way, nearly got me teary eyed. What a great way to start the season for this team.

Honorable Mentions:
James Lofton taking a reverse to the house in '82 at the Giants.
Mark Moseley shanking a FG to give us a well-earned 48-47 win vs. the defending champion Redskins on Monday night in '84, I believe.
Walter Stanley's punt return for a TD to win the Thanksgiving game late at Detroit in '87.
Don Majkowski to Sterling Sharpe in '89. This was the only one I didn't witness, but I was at the Metrodome, and I'll always remember the scores flashing up on the scoreboard late. 13-7 Bears 4th. 14-13 Packers 4th. 14-13 Packers Final.
Favre to Sharpe vs. Pittsburgh in '92. I knew right then that Brett Favre was going to be a star.
Favre to Don Beebe vs. San Fran on Monday night in '96.
Favre to Donald Driver for 85 yards on Monday night in 2002 at Champagne.
The Top 10 List:
10) Favre runs it in from 40 yards at Chicago on Halloween in '94. New force in the NFC Central.
9) Favre to Antonio Freeman on Monday night in 2000. Fluky, but fun nonetheless.
8) Reggie White sacking John Elway on the final two plays in '93. Reggie was going to make a difference.
7) Favre to Robert Brooks for 99 yard at Chicago in '95. Maybe the best pure play.
6) Favre's game winner on 4th down to Cory Bradford vs. the Vikings in '99. After '98, it seemed like the Vikings would dominate the Packers for a long time. That play gave me hope that they would not.
5) Al Harris taking it to the house vs. Seattle in the '03 playoffs.
4) Ahman Green taking it 98 yards vs. Denver in '03. A short time later, the Cards knock the Vikings out of the playoffs.
3) Favre to Sharpe in the '93 playoffs at Detroit. We arrived.
2) Wayne Simmons' hit and Craig Newsome's TD at San Fran in the '95 playoffs. We arrived as a contender.
1) Favre to Andre Rison in the Super Bowl. Then, Desmond Howard's return. Then, Reggie's three sacks late. Reggie running around with the trophy. Favre running off the field after the first TD is the thing I remember most.
Hopefully, Favre to Greg Jennings will end up being on this list."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

OK, Harvey is not allowed to post in this type of thread any more. This was supposed to be light harted banter and now I just feel guilty calling myself a Packer fan.

What, do you ladies keep journals of every friggin' game? I thought only Patler was suppose to come up with this kind of historic memories and stats.
Very impressive boys."...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later. But nobody wants to win on that field anymore than I do, no one." Brett FavreComment

Some of you forget Greg Jennings caught #400.
He caught #420
Greg Jennings is a good bet to make 421 over 50 yards as well.
The Packers fortunes have changed a lot since the day he was drafted.
(How many mistakes can you catch in what Mort says?)

I read an article today where Driver was saying he wants to be the one to catch 421.Originally posted by CaliforniaCheezSome of you forget Greg Jennings caught #400.

I hope Driver is the one. He really busts his butt out there.

Everybody is in competition to catch #421.
It will be a highlight shown for decades.
It might be nice if it went to Tauscher who had his catch called back due to a holding penalty by Ruegamer.Comment

I think it would be cool if a defensive lineman deflects a pass back to Favre, and Favre runs it in.I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
