Favre & Barry In Primetime! (Packers vs. Lions 1998, Week 7) 

He was DPOY at age 37!

Best defensive player ever !

the minister of defense

May he rest in peace

@@lemmiwinks09 wasn't bad with panthers either

Truth

I feel you brother. I remember it well.

Stop teasing me man. I'm nostalgic enough as it is. But you're right though those were good times. Life and football we're better in 1998. For me hearing greg gumbel and phil simms a nice way to chill on sunday🏈🍕🍺

amen

@@ASUFAN- Pat Summerall and John Madden too.....(RIP to both)

@@ajk Amen

That shows just how much the Lions failed him. There were 10 weeks left in the season and that's simply inexcusable.

That's why the title is wrong. This aint mvp prime Barry. Still great tho

@@bijouxdoum6199 doesn't say anything about Barry being mvp or in his prime............

@@bijouxdoum6199 He was reigning MVP and his whole career was his prime, but the title says in Primetime, as it was MNF.

@@MattPawlowski sunday night football was espn back then. Although I remember one such game this year being on a thursday night, well before the nfl network game was a thing.

Like 97 jets game

Yes good memories

Must have been loud !

ok st legend

Miss these days

Miss this era

If you like watching Brett Favre interceptions, his 2001 playoff game against the Rams is a classic. Not to say it was all his fault.

I watched the full version of this game today seeking it out (I prefer complete broadcasts if available to highlights, even if sometimes I struggle to watch it all the way through admittedly lol), and I agree, I half expected them to mention it on commentary how it even faked them. I never saw it myself first time, it was amazing.

@@ajk I love watching these old games to fall asleep and relive the memories is that weird ? And big Packers lions this week !

All of them replaced in the next 15 years

All domes gee I wonder? He also had problems at the Edward Jones Dome

@@ManiaxOnYTZeus Yes he did!!!! 5 picks in a playoff game. It was beautiful.

Well said!

He did win a playoff game in the Silverdome. As well as the last Thanksgiving game there.

When the packers were back to back nfc championship winners

Amen

Ya batch played a long frigging time

All Time Rivalry In NFL Between The Lions & The Packers!

Travis jervey was the packers version of Steve Tasker

I miss this era so frigging much not as physical anymore in the league as much .... still good but not these days

Yes!!

They did a throwback graphics game at Mich State basketball in 2003-2004.

@@Knightmessenger yeah but those had to be graphics from the 1980s so that would be like doing graphics from 2003-04 today lol

@@iselin90 i sure wouldn't mind seeing 90s espn. It holds up pretty well with a master tape source like this upload.

Amen

Oklahoma state legend

Amen and bobby Ross college coaching legend

I miss it

easily

@@bloodorange6713 alot more smashmouth and physical these days

@@ericpackers1700 are you joking

Great era

Amen

I think it would have put him over the 1500 yard mark, if his yards in the other games were unchanged.

@@Knightmessenger To say the call was terrible doesn't put it into perspective. A hold literally takes place on every down. This one was not any different if you rewatch it. Here are some of the milestones that were removed because of this call. Would have been his 6th run of 80 yards or more Would have been his 6th season of 1500 yards or more rushing Would have been his 5th consecutive season of 1500 yards or more rushing Would have finished with career 100 yards a game playing 153 games and gaining 15349 rushing yards Would have been his 100-rushing touchdown Would have averaged just over 5.0 yards a carry for his career

@@kinginanorth and in this case, I didn't see a clear holding at the point of attack which is when the refs usually call it.

KNOCK IT DOWN!!!

Grave digger big Gilbert brown

Former Georgia tech coach

!

And he could lay recievers out

Him and Calvin Johnson had similar careers in a strange way

Love this era don't ya?

Back when throwing for 4000 yards was unheard of it was alot of running teams with with average qbd

Amen

90s are better look how much more physical

Fr?

I blame Chris Berman, giving him the “Touchdown Tommy Vardell” nickname. The Lions were obligated to get him red zone touches after that! 😅

@@roljamas Corey Schlesinger better

@@packersauburneric3625 true fact. Duncan, Nebraska for life.

@@roljamas respect the loyalty like frank solich days during 1998

Big Gilbert brown they had

Fr Packers fan?

@@packersauburneric3625 I ain't no peckers fan

@@Madd4_die4 that's fine I respect Aiden Hutchinson

Barry + 90s Cowboys O line = 2,400 rush yards a season Emmitt + 90s Lions o line = 1,200 yard season

Tbh, I don’t think we would’ve been so appreciative of Barry had he played for a winner.

@Alex A no it was 1993 bc that game was on CBS and in 1994 FOX took over the NFC package

Bro cmon. Barry made the playoffs half the seasons he played, even made the NFC Championship game. And the Lions made the playoffs the year Barry retired. Their problem stemmed from facing the Cowboys dynasty of the 90s with one year of Scott Mitchell as their only competent QB

@@notsauer Kramerwas probably thebest QB Barry played with. I think Batch was pretty good but this was his rookie year. Mitchell was too damn inconsistent.

Still had to be more than 3 seconds.

@@ajk the clock doesnt start until someone touches the ball.

@@benjaminpeters6729 Looked like a Lion did on the replay though?

@@ajk but it wasnt three seconds though.

Miss this ESPN crew

I'm a packers loyalist

Same

It's like that now with the league

@@JJA1987 more smash mouth this era it's sad 😭

Lmao why you say that ?

They help The Chiefs and Mahomes now what's your point LOL

@@JJA1987 makes no sense

Brett Favre Is A True Packers Legendary Quarterback!

Most Packers fans don’t want to admit it

Ah yes, the overrated clown with as many Super Bowl wins and NFL MVPs as Brett Favre.

@@roljamas guess when Favre held the team hostage with the annual “I’m retiring” announcement he wasn’t being a clown.

Huh?
