The Final Drive 1st Down: The Game Of The Week Green Bay Packers (10-4) @ Arizona Cardinals (12-2) Of all the games this week, I couldn’t think of a better game than what we have here. These two teams have a combined record of 22-6. The two quarterbacks involved in this game, Carson Palmer and Aaron Rodgers, are two of the best in the business. In my opinion, the winner of this game will be the NFC’s number two seed come January. Even with the loss of Tyrann Mathieu, I still believe the Cardinals

The Green Bay Packers have had many excellent players and extraordinary coaches. Most people when they hear of the Green Bay Packers think of recent coaches and players such as Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Mike McCarthy. Still there are as well as many great Packers football stars from when the team first came to be. Like the person who started it all Earl Lambeau. The roots of the Green Bay Packer’s can be traced back to Earl Lambeau. Today Lambeau is honored by having the Packers’ stadium after
Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers Any NFL fan wants at least two things for their team; for them to make it to playoffs and for them to win the super bowl. As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I was more than thrilled that the not-so-great-team from last year, actually made it to the quarterfinals this year. The quarterfinals game vs. the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field was not going to be just a normal game, or an easy defeat. Meetings with the Packers do not happen often, this would be the fifth time
History of The Green Bay Packers What I Already Knew/ What I Wanted to Know When I started this project I already knew a little bit of history about the Green Bay Packers. I already knew that they had won the first and second ever Super Bowls. Since then they have been to three more Super Bowls and won two of them which puts them in third place tied with the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. They had won nine championships before the AFL NFL merger of 1970. With their 4 Super Bowls

The team limit was 38 people altho they only had 20 full uniforms. Most of the team players were from East and West Green Bay high schools.

I always watched the Packers game on T.V is my living or in my basement during football season but I always wondered what it was like to really be at the game. What was it like to be in the stadium and watch the game with thousands of people cheering, eating, and yelling? On December 15th it was my birthday and I got tickets to a Packer playoff game against the Lions the game was schedule sometime later in December. I was so excited that I got to finally experience a Packer game and know what it
recorded. There was a certain one of these people, though, that stood out from the rest. This was a man by the name of Vince Lombardi. Most people generally know who Vince Lombardi was. They know him as the former, and most famous, coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the late fifties and early sixties. They also recognize him as the man the trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winner, the Lombardi Trophy, is named after. This is all common knowledge in the football world. Do any of these people know who

Solomon B. The Packers fought back after a disastrous first half which saw them down 26-3 at halftime and somehow completed a comeback win that kept their playoff hopes alive. In an unbelievable rally, the visiting Packers stormed back from a 23-point halftime deficit to stun the Cowboys 37-36 on a Sunday afternoon.The victory kept the Packers a half game behind the Bears with two games left to play. This game has gone down as one of the best comebacks ever Since it was the Packers playing, it is
on the Green Bay Packers sideline because we won our final game. I eagerly watched my favorite wide receiver, Jordy Nelson, catch the football when suddenly Aaron Rodgers approached me and started talking to me. At first he just discussed the throwing technique that he uses because we were both quarterbacks, but when I told him that I threw for two touchdowns and ran for one he seemed surprised and asked for my autograph.

bowl in 1967, was not officially named Super Bowl I. The third super bowl game, played in 1969, became the first officially titled “Super Bowl” game. In the previous two years the championship game was titled “AFL-NFL World Championship Game”.(Packers Beat) Many fans would ultimately agree that the title “Super Bowl” is a much more riveting name to the game then its previous title. During the middle 60’s, the game had grown to such a high level of competition between players and fans of both the
Lombardi was a great man, many say. He exemplified that American ideal that greatness can only be achieved by hard work and discipline. However, Lombardi’s life was far from perfect. He did not begin his career as the head coach of the great Green Bay Packers of the 1960’s; hardly, as he began as a lowly assistant at a run down Catholic high school, just scraping by. Soon, however, it became apparent that Lombardi was no average coach. His intensity, his undeniably scorching hot passion for

Brett Favre I have chosen Brett Favre for my biography paper. The name of the biography was Brett Favre and it was written by Martin Mooney. If you love football you should read this book.

On September 17, 1920, some men gathered in Canton, Ohio at the Hupmobile showroom of Ralph Hay (“NFL Founded” 1). At the end of this meeting between these men the American Professional Football Association was formed but later will become the National Football League.
