I have never witnessed anyone enjoy the game of football as Brett did....no one. I mean REALLY enjoy every minute of every game and I doubt we ever see another like him.
I watched this game. It was the first time I ever saw Favre play. Right after that last touchdown I said, “We’re going to go to the Super Bowl with this guy.”
This was like his first game off the bench in college...he came in and led a comeback win as a true freshman for Southern Miss against Tulane. I was at that game and said, "this guy is gonna be in the pros someday".
I distinctly remember being at the urinal in my dorm wing when I heard my roommate yell, "Majikowski is injured!" I yelled, "nooooooo!" Little did I know a blessing on disguise was about to be revealed. Side note: A sure way to know you're getting older is you see standard definition and realize this was decades ago.
I wouldnt care if Rodgers won as many rings as Brady , Favre will always be my favorite QB of alltime , and at least as far as im concerned , the Packer's GOAT. There was just something about him, Rodgers is a surgeon , more precise , but sometimes that preciseness means that the safe play is just throwing it away.. Favre never cared about the safe play , he didnt care the situation , he went for it all on every snap, sometimes it crushed us , sometimes it was epic , but it was ALWAYS exciting. Rodgers you can tell hes at work doing a job , Favre was just a kid at recess having a blast and solely playing for the love of the game. God , there was nothing like it. I almost shed a tear watching this video lol
I agree I grew up with Favre. You got me into the game. It was always fun watching him always a gamble and I’m a packer fan just as much as you but he’s my favorite. Watch out maybe Love will do something
I watched that game my oldest son when he was little boy, he said who is that man Dad. I said that's Brett and looks like grandpa's Packers found them a QB. He smiled and so did my Dad. My dad was a long life packers fan from the 60s. He passed away before he could see them win a Superbowl with Brett. I have been a Eagles fan my whole life but watch the packers still for my Dad. You never forget watching games with your Dad. Thanks to everyone who shares bits and games of the packers to watch on here. Brett had a arm for QB and was fun to watch him throw.
I love watching this game I was at this game my 1st game at lambeau field 20 yard line packer sideline 22 rows up after the game Jerry Kramer was out in the parking lot signed my ticket stub...what an awesome day and game
I'm a forty niner fan but I can not lie I've always loved me sm Brett FAVRE and one of the best gms I've ever seen was when his daddy died. If anyone has watched that gm you will agree with me too..
I can never get over hearing the crowd explode on that TD. Those fans knew they were witnessing the birth of a legend, and the rebirth of a once proud franchise.
you just dont see emotion out of a player like Bret, and it wasnt like hes excited for nothing, i still think his start streak is one of the biggest part to his legend
I watch this a lot. The start of something special! I'm big blue for life but let me tell you I loved every second of Brett's playing days..and this game started it all...changed the coarse of history for GB, and Cinci for that matter. They weren't the same for the remaining decade in fact they were horrible..
I went to the USM VS Florida State game in 1987 in Hattiesburg. That was the first time I saw Brett play. He was a freshman and everyone in the stands were complaining about him throwing the ball too hard. None of the receivers could hold onto it. USM lost 62-10. I think Brett completed 5 passes. 90 percent were dropped.
2 years after that game, FSU came back to USM and Favre led his team to an upset victory! Also interesting that FSU had 3 of Brett's future teammates on their roster- Edgar Bennett, Terrell Buckley and LeRoy Butler.
@@JG31392 don't forget....we lost Robert Brooks to injury a couple years after Sterling. Brooks was never the same after he ripped up his knee in 96 vs. SF.
As a Bengal fan I remember this game so well. The ‘magic man’ Majokowski (spelling) got hurt early in the game and this kid Favre came in to play and I thought, “well we got this one, easy victory for the Bengals”
The NFL is so in need of this kind of emotion again. The hell with these stupid celebration rules. Thing I always loved about Favre is that he still had this passion when he finally did decide to leave the game.
Being a near life long Viking fan since Joe Kapp and the 69 Vikings I remember hearing this very Sunday about Favre and what he just did and i remember thinking at the time NOW we don't have to worry about the Packers there going to suck with this unknown QB. WELL I was completely WRONG and you know what we still love Favre. In fact I swear the FUN went out of pro football when Favre retired.
Thanks for posting! This clip will remind all those who were upset with Favre, including me, just how great he was & all the thrills he gave us! Welcome back Bret!!!
The young gunslinger in his first duel. Draws so fast the other guy never broke leather. Years later road off Into the sunset battered and torn but still walking.
As a native Texan and lifelong Dallas Cowboy fan I must say thank you for posting. I was a freshman in HS when Don Majkowski had his one good year in GB. I was a senior in HS when Farve came off the bench for Majkowski in this game. The Cowboys played the afternoon game against the Cardinals right after this; so I caught the final 5-10 minutes of this game. The 1992-93 NFL season was great year for the NFL.
I was a freshman in high school. Didn't see the game because we had to March in the village parade in western Wisconsin. Helped bring the packers back onto the map.
Brett Favre was great. Some ungrateful idiots who called him "traitor" and other things forgot all the joy and excitement he brought to the game and to the Packers.
Favre was a Traitor for leaving the Green Bay Packers the dude was under contract with 3 years remaining when he decided to pull his retirement stunt . I love all of what Brett Favre did for our Green Bay Packers. But when your under contract and you pull stunts like you deserve what you get
@NoSwiss AllCheddar nooooo! He kept saying he was gonna retire. Never went to camp. Keep playing that BS retire thing because he didn’t want to go to camp. So the Pack nudged him out. No one player dictates the team. Rogers took over and Favre went to the Jets and Vikings. He could’ve won another super bowl if he had dignity.
Don Majkowski's Wally Pipp moment. Truly, there was no looking back. ESPN highlights that evening built up this comeback like it was the second coming of greatness (which turned out to be the case).
I saw the game in Milwaukee before this one where Majik played and I thought then we were going to go to the Superbowl, and then he injured his shoulder, and I was devastated.. Until Brett came in and become the GOAT
My first Lambeau Field game...lived in Milwaukee and went to 1 at County Stadium a few years earlier. It was pandemonium with high fives and beer spilling everywhere
Announcer: 1:07 left in your first game at Lambeau for the injured Don Majkowski, ball on your 8 yard line, no timeouts, down 23-17, and BTW you're going to lose your #1 receiver, Sterling Sharpe during the drive. Favre: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!!!!
yeah it was amazing. It drives me nuts these days to see QBs eat up 25 seconds trying to call a bunch of crap at the line. Get up there and run a play! Brett certainly did that here.
The most fun I ever had as a sports spectator was from 94 - 98, watching Favre in his prime. Rodgers may be more technically sound as a passer, but I would rather watch Favre in his prime over Rodgers in his prime any day of the week. Nonetheless, Packer fans have been blessed to have 30 consecutive years of hall of fame quarterbacking.
I love how the Announcers talk about how good the players are instead of now how everything is all glitz and glamor! I mean look how happy Brett was and took off his Helmet with excitement.. That is one rule I don’t understand why they are not allowed to do that anymore!!
Looking back now, what a pivotal game this was. It looked like the Bengals could shake that 3-13 season of a year before had they won this game ... would have been 3-0 with a middling Vikings team coming in the next week. Instead, it became the second of many forgettable seasons. We all know how it changed things in GB.
I had forgotten that. It's funny to think how tough this guy was as a player, but he still had that kid fear of keeping the finger on the ball and thinking the kicker was going to kick off his finger.
Response to those who say Rodgers is better: It should be very hard for an intelligent NFL fan to definitively say that. Favre's talents were unmatched from '94 through end of the decade. He had a couple years (like '99) when regular season int's were too frequent but all those 30+ TD years were insane. One could argue that his 5 straight seasons of 30+ is the equivalent of 5 straight 45+ TD seasons in today's NFL. Without injuries to Brooks, Freeman, & Chmura in '96 he could have been the 1st to break Marino's 48. What I'm saying is that Rodgers needs to be applauded for being an outstanding player who takes full advantage of the rules that benefit the passing game. That and he doesn't turn it over much. But to compare him Favre without considering eras or the fact that Favre's career includes more exciting comebacks (see above) is short-sighted. Just appreciate both players & compare careers in 3 to 5 years or so.
+Dave Stetts 1999 was also when he broke his right thumb in the season opener vs. Oakland. He led them on a last minute comeback though, as he did in 3 of the first four games of that season. But ultimately the thumb injury took its toll on his play. You could see him spraying a few balls around for INTs, as he did in 2003 when he hurt his thumb again. He never could work that thumb properly again after 1999. Amazing that he still could even throw at the level that he did afterwards. Also in 1999, there was the failed Ray Rhodes experiment as head coach. They were just a team in transition then. New coach, a roster being turned over and an injured QB. I can only imagine how good they would have been if Holmgren stuck around for another 5-10 years.....
Completely agree. I think he sprained it in the preseason then banged it on the helmet of a Raiders' d-lineman on his follow-through. It was clearly something that hurt all season, and he got beat up in general. No deep threats passing (Schroeder & Bradford average, Freeman suddenly slowed WAY down) & not a good enough running attack w/ Levens' lack of durability.
+Dave Stetts As a Packers fan myself, I don't even bother with comparing the two. I'm just happy that we've been blessed with two legendary future HOF Quarterbacks in the last 25 years, when most franchises struggle to even find a QB that's half-decent (see the Browns, Jaguars, Titans, Jets, Texans, Buccaneers etc). So instead of saying who's better, we should just be glad we're not at the bottom of the league wondering if we should start Blaine Gabbert or Brandon Weeden in the next game.
Brett Favre was good because of extreme physical talent (mainly, he had a goddamn cannon) and he had guts. Aaron Rodgers is good because of extreme physical talent, but is also extremely smart. Respect them both
Ron Wolf such a smart smart man see you here in Canton in a couple of weeks Ron Wolf HOF 2015 Oh and Brett Favre yea HOF 2016 Canton will be Packers Green and Gold for sure will be amazing. GO PACK GO
I was at the game, at the age of 8, with my mom. I'm SO happy I was there. I've been to probably 50 Packer games, including the NFCC in Chicago, but still remember this game vividly.
@@jaimhaas5170 Kitrick Taylor caught the TD. I don't know where he is now, but his son has commented on this video somewhere. I remember reading his comments several years back.
Favre thank Maj? I think all the fans who hate Favre now should thank him for saving them from 0-16 in 1992. Nah...not 0-16 you say...well...they were 0-3 til Favre took over and the 2nd loss was a blowout against the Buccs who hadn't had a winning season since the 70s.
Remember that only once in NFL history has 1 player won 3 consecutive MVPs. Not Marino, Elway, Rodgers, Brady, Manning; OH THAT'S RIGHT his name is BRETT FAVRE. ALSO people tend to forget approximately 30-40 percent of his pics, because of the velocity of his throws, bounced off receivers hands popping up into the air.
Not true. In the 2011 season finale, the Packers had everything wrapped up so they benched Rodgers and started Matt Flynn. Then in 2013 when Rodgers went down with an injury, they started 3 different QBs- Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and Matt Flynn.
i agree.....favre made the packers the team they are today....prior to that they had only had a pair of seasons above .500 in the 25 years between this game and the era of bart starr and vince lombardi...
Back then Packer games were just a big tailgate party and if they won it was a bonus. Barely anyone in the crowd is even wearing Packer apparel. Literally no one expected them score. That kind of thing just didn't happen to us.
I think it's ironic that Cincinnati was the first team that brett had ever won against and yet they were Rodgers last team to beat in the NFL. Clearly the Bengals were a special team to beat for both Favre and Rodgers.
i am a brett fan not a hatter. but i think brett favre should actually thank Don Majkowski bacause we all know that Don Majkowski was having a hall of fame career before the injury that unfortionaly ended his career and with that injury brett would never the iron man as we all know and Don Majkowski would be wearing a yellow jacket.
I was in junior high when this happened and I remember this game vividly. Grew up 30 minutes from Lambeau field. From that moment forward he walked on water in GB...until the dick pics. He's been forgiven, though, and is back to walking on water.
Say whatever u want about Rogers I’ve been a packers fan all my life, saw this game on TV and was hooked on Favre forever. I can show you at least a dozen more. I can’t show u one of Rogers, the Hail Mary last year in Detroit is the closest and no it was one lucky play at the end of the game reminded me of something Manziel would pull out of his ass
Favre actually keys go of the football before the guy kicks it on the extra point because he didn't want to get kicked seen it in a Favre special on nfl net work and the ball just stood there straight up and down lol that's funny stuff
I don't know, but i remember being upset with scalpers before a game in 1998 because they were selling tickets for like $125. They kept the price above $100 even after the game started. But of course the demand had gone way up because they won the Super Bowl a couple years earlier. I imagine back in 1992 the tickets were half of that price from a scalper.
