Status: offline 		There's a great 15-min film on this legendary game here: http://www.nfl.com/videos?categoryId=nflFilms Look under "America's Game 2006".

To me, a long-time Packers fan, this game summed up what the Lombardi-era Green Bay team was all about: determination, confidence and triumph over adversity. These are characteristics which need to be re-emphasized in today's America.

Anyway, this short film features excellent game footage and modern-day interviews with LB Dave Robinson, G Jerry Kramer and FB Chuck Mercein.

A bit pity that they didn´t add some original commentary on the game from Lombardi itself.
Sidenote: The fieldgoal kicking technique they used looks quite strange nowadays.

I was a HUGE Packer fan as a young boy in the 60's.

Bart Starr was my idol and I was glued to the screen along with my father watching them win one of the most thrilling games in history.

Great Stuff!!

I haven't watched a pro-football game in 25 years.  I would in a heartbeat if I could watch the Baltimore Colts play the St. Louis Cardinals.  But I have no interest in watching the Arizona Cardinals play the St. Louis Rams.  Gag.

Status: offline 		That brings back memories! I miss football from the 70's. I used to love how the Raiders had that reputation of being the bad boys of football, back when Madden was coach.
And the "Steel" Curtain.
My dad went to Sunday school with Terry Bradshaw. I remember him getting mad because he hated him and seeing him gain popularity while playing in college. I recall he once said that he would be really upset if Bradshaw ever got famous............

Anyone remember this?

Well, yeah,

But I was (for many years) a great L.A. Rams fan, and I was ecstatic when Roman Gabriel, the Fearsome Foursome, and the Rams beat those Green Bay Packers late that season to get into the playoffs for the first time since the 50's - only to loose to them in the playoffs back in 1967...(we all know they should have beat them...ahem).
Anyway, for us looser Rams fans of those wonderful years, at least that heralded a long run of "Damn! We almost got there!".

For some older guys like me, the mid 1960's - into the 1970's were THE golden years of the NFL.

I don't feel we will ever know their like again - if you remember the pride of those proud dynasties of the day - before Free-Agency and myriad rule changes.

Status: offline 		I didn't get into watching pro football until 1971, when I was 14. The Lombardi years were before I was old enough to understand or care for the game. After I read Jerry Kramer's classic "Instant Replay", I was hooked on that era, and that team. Thankfully, we have the fantastic resources of NFL Films to give us a glimpse into those golden years.

I found a 4-DVD set on Amazon, which contains the NFL Films productions "The Complete History of the Green Bay Packers" and "The Super Bowl Years", which includes the fantastic 1996 season and the return of "Titletown". I am definitely gonna order that collection.

PS Jerry Kramer is now 72 years old, and still looks tough. Sadly, though, several of those legendary players, such as Ray Nitschke, Willie Davis and Henry Jordan, are no longer with us.
