Old Packers highlight videos

Because I grew up without television, I didn't start following the Packers until the NFC Championship Game against the Panthers, which I just happened to find while surfing the channels on the radio. And even after that, I was only able to follow the games on the radio until I left home for good. As a result, I have never seen a lot of the classic games and big plays you old-timers reminisce about, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I know that there are almost no surviving whole game tapes for games before the 1970s at last, but Ted Thompson would be really cool to see at least highlight videos of these older games.

To start things out, here is a video of the climax of the famous 1989 "replay game" against the Chicago Bears. I believe this was the first NFL game in which instant replay affected the outcome.

Some of the comments posted on that video are interesting too.

That was the day I became a full fledged Packers fan. And Don Majkowski and Sterling Sharpe fan, although I liked Sharpe even as a rookie, mainly because my dad said Lynn Swann was better. I had to be "different". Surely, Rourke you know what that's like. :)

There's this play and then Packers beating the Bears on their turn en route to the Super Bowl. Do the Bears have any such thing?

That was a beautiful throw. Reminds me of Rodgers

A lot of Majkowski highlights remind me of Rodgers. Their mechanics were similar in many ways, especially when Majkowski was out of the pocket. Rodgers usually looks a lot more fluid and graceful than Majkowski did in this play, though. He practically tripped over that 15-yard line. =d>

C'mon, old timers. Surely you have some classic plays and games to share with the young'uns like me![-o<

There are many that I could throw into this thread.. I will start with one of the single most memorable Packers moments I can recall.

Oct 17th, 1983... a good Packers team (for the Packers of the 70's and 80's that is) taking on the defending Superbowl champs in the Skins.

Drive after drive.. pass after pass.. matching the champs score for score in what seemed light a boxing match of matching jabs.

From Mad Dog jarring the ball loose early to a late miss by Mark Moseley... the game was simply one of the best games I have ever experienced let alone a Packer game. Visions of a carried off Kellen Winslow come to mind as a comparison.

Simply a joy to watch.

No Youtube clip that I have found..

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Great game, MNF was huge for me when The Packers played, was one of the few times I would get to watch them on tv.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

beast (49m) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (6h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (6h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (6h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (13h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (15h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (15h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (15h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (17h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
