It was a magical season starting with Favres addiction and prediction of don’t bet against us winning the Super Bowl . Discovering Desmond Howard who was about to be cut until he returned a punt for a TD during pre season . Injuries at one point brought in Andre Rison who made some key plays in the playoffs . Just outstanding to watch a Packers team again that you knew you were most likely going to win every Sunday . Sure hope the Packers honor them this season at a home game . Dallas would be appropriate at Lambeau .

I grew up in the Lombardi years, and that Long Dry Spell from 1972 -1992 really had me thirsty. Wolf,Holmgren, Favre, Reggie was a mighty satisfying drink. The people in charge clearly understood Free Agency better than some other teams early on, and they were able to put a really good team together. They didn't panic and burn things down when we were stopped by the Cowboys.

The next year, most of the team returned and lost in the Super Bowl. Holmgren left. We've been to the Super Bowl only once since then. True, we have put solid teams on the field, and we're always in the hunt, so it's not like the seasons where we had some really horrible teams and no hope.

It was finally fun, not a chore, to watch a Packer game again. After the 70s and 80s I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It made all those years disappear and I thought they'd never return.

I remember the season well. I was serving in the AF in Japan in 93. That whole season I would wake up at 2:00 am to watch the noon time games. The later ones I would catch the beginning before going to work. I was fortunate that Armed Forces Network showed a lot of Packer games.

I watched the SB with my son and it was magical.

I always liked watching Favre play. He made the game fun to watch. I wish he could have left on better terms. I will not get into it.

I never thought of that team as underappreciated. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Packer fan, but I think they get their due. Brett Favre is a legend, and that was his championship year. I've never seen a QB as dominant as he was for a few years there. They had a lot of injuries at WR and TE that year, but Favre always found someone to throw the ball to, and if he didn't, he could run for a first down. He had a rifle for an arm.

I was surprised to read in this article that Reggie White was only a second team All Pro that year. I looked it up, and the two first team All Pro DEs were Alfred Williams of the Broncos and Bruce Smith of the Bills. If you're just going by sacks, Williams had 13 that year, Smith had 13.5, and Reggie had 8.5, so well, okay I guess.

The '96 Packers were a great team. I remember the game very well. Remembering them makes me realize how far away the recent Packers teams have been from those great Holmgren/Favre/Reggie White teams of the mid/late '90s. I always felt like they were going to win. Thanks, Since '61

Wolf called the 1996 season "A fart in the wind" after losing to Denver in the 1997 season, not getting back to back championships. I think that's a tad harsh, but had they beat Denver, those teams would have been looked at as some of the best ever... PERIOD!

I still believe had we played that Broncos team 10 times we beat them 9 out of 10. But still, the 1996 team WAS one of the best in history IMO.

and in 30 yrs 1 SB.
how in the world that board Is still there????
a bunch of mediocre that Just lived on favre and Rodgers greatness.

let's kick them out in the ass! free the packers from parasites.
