I saw the game on TV. I was 14. Bart Starr was my favorite player and that final drive showed what a great leader he was. He was clutch. Many years later I got to meet and speak to Bart Starr. It was really special.
+Glen Richardson I actually have met Bart on two different occasions. The last time was in 2007 at the Senior Expo at the Marriott Marquis in New York. I was there with Don Shula promoting hearing aids and Bart just happen to be there promoting another product targeted to seniors. I walked over to him before the public was allowed in shook his hand and said "I want to shake the hand of the greatest Green Bay Packer of all time" to which he replied "I don't know they got a pretty good one right now". He was referring to Favre. He was the classiest person I have ever met. He was there with his wife Cherry and said to me "Have you met my wife Cherry?". We talked for about 30 minutes about Lombardi, the Ice Bowl, his dad, etc. It is an experience I will never forget.
+Walter Balan I was 3 days away from my 14th birthday. The Ice Bowl is sort of like the Kennedy Assassination...if you`re old enough to remember the event, it`s burned into your memory forever.
I am a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, so I can honestly admit that #15 & his legendary Packers teammates left me crying more times than I care to remember.😅 He & Unitas definitely were my favorite "enemy" QBs. I cannot believe that the funeral for the field general of the greatest team in pro football history is not going to be at Lambeau Field. If Yankee Stadium is known as "The House That Ruth Built", then Lambeau Field no doubt is "The House That Bart Starr Built". R.I.P. MISTER Bart Starr🏈 God bless our pro football heroes from a bygone era. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO.
The Lombardi Era Packers definitely earned their success. It's still the Gold Standard for an NFL team to achieve. Even if a modern coach could match Vince Lombardis championship and Super Bowl record it still would be impressive.
I sat in my dad's tavern, at the end of the bar where the t.v. was. Sat there and watched in rapt funeral amazement the greatest thrill of my young life unfold.
Not only do I agree with your assessment, this may be the greatest sports event in history, given the inhumane conditions this was played under - only the Thrilla In Manila could rival this (due to the awful heat in that event). Well said on your part.
Couldn't agree more. A superb quarterback who should be far more valued than he is. Sad, yes, that quarterbacks who haven't won a single Super Bowl but have big statistics are considered by some, if not many, to be superior to Starr. Last time I looked a quarterback's job was to win championships not passing titles. Cheers!
I remember that game.... I was just a kid.... When the Packers scored on the last drive, I went behind the drapes in the window and cried... The Packers were the team of the 60's.....
Obviously Lombardi was the difference. He took over a one win team in 1959 and went 7-5 and took over a loser Washington team in 1969 and went 7-5-2 the next year. He dies in 1970 and the Redskins were losers again. Greatest coach ever!
@@G49V47D41 Don't forget Scotty Bowman in hockey. His career was remarkable. He won 9 Cups in Montreal, Pittsburgh, and Detroit as a coach and was in the finals with the Blues three times from 1968 to 1970. He has won 14 Cups as a Coach and executive! He was an executive with Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Chicago winning 5 Cups for 14 total! Remarkable!
Now, this is THE DRIVE....and the greatest game in NFL history !!! When the greatest coach in the history of football, Vince Lombardi, was asked why the Packers were so successfull, he replied " Our team runs on LOVE"
Will somebody finally put Jerry Kramer in the Hall of Fame. They put Dave in which is great and he deserves it but now they have to put Kramer in now, there are no more excuses.
That play at 1:51 is really cool. I think its what Lombardi called the influence play. The left guard pulls like its a sweep to the right, and that got Lilly going the wrong way. Then Skoronki just made an excellent block on Andrie which opened it up for Mercein.
Tom Landry had prepared for that play. Jethro Pugh was supposed to loop around and fill the hole left by Lilly. But Pugh slipped on the icy turf and was unable to stop Mercein.
I remember this game. It was a time of men who played because football was in their blood and the flag was in their hearts. No one took a knee, not even to run out the clock. Those were the days.
Interesting note. The last and only NFL team that beat Lombardi in a championship game was the Philadelphia Eagles on December 26, 1960. On February 4th, 2018, the Eagles won their first Lombardi trophy and Super Bowl.
Two notes. The best two plays in Chuck Mercein's marginal career happened back-to-back in the Ice Bowl. Cornell Green's tackle of Boyd Dowler would have cost an additional fifteen yards today for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
When you could have heros and they lived up to the job. Lombardi, Star, Kramer and the others. I never met them I saw them on a little TV and in magazines yet as a teenager struggling to find my way I had Lombardi teaching me and his team showing me. Hard work dictation never give up and most importantly do it the right way.
And he was the classiest man ever. So humble. The ranch he started for disadvantaged boys (Rawhide) is still going strong thanks to Bart’s and now his family’s wish to help others.
The 1966 NFL Championship Game is almost as great a game as this one, but no one ever talks about it - that game had high drama as well, 34-27, Packers with a great goal line stand at the end.
“There are 13 seconds on the clock and the Packers are going to be world champions, NFL champions for the 3rd straight year”! He could not have been so sure of that nowadays with the way the game favors offenses and with how much better kickers are now than they were 54 years ago. 13 seconds is all Mahomes needed to tie Buffalo and send the game into overtime and Don Merideth was a darn good quarterback back then too. I’m sure Dallas had a couple of timeouts left so if they were to down the subsequent kickoff into the end zone and with 13 seconds left, Merideth could have completed a couple of long passes getting the ball down to the Packer 31 yard line with about 2 seconds left and it would have been a 48 yard field goal try which is very make-able today. Of course -13 F. may have affected the range but FG kickers today are pretty darn good.
Bart Starr, the true GOAT "Didn't tell his teammates, he was going to keep the ball himself" True leader, put it on his own shoulders, win or loss.. no one to point fingers at . Lead taking the risk yourself. "Snap the ball, pray and hold on"
That play at 1:51 was something. The Packers misdirected the left guard and Lilly went the wrong way and then Skoronski just wiped out George Andrie. Mercein went for eight and that set up the TD.
Excellent analysis. In Kramer's book he explained it as a "give" play. 45 give or something like that. The DT isn't blocked...guard pulls away like Gillingham did. Kramer said it only worked against smart quick DTs like Lilly. I've read that Starr said it was the best play call he ever made.
Everybody always overlooks the tremendous catch by Boyd Dowler at :1:13. Do you know how horrible that felt to be slammed to the frozen turf as Dowler was? You can see him just writhing in pain! To hang onto the ball without fumbling? If Dowler fumbles there, game is over and Cowboys win. I am surprised that catch does not go down in history as 1 of the greatest catches ever!
This game was played on New Year's Eve Day 1967. The Packers went on to win Super Bowl 2 two weeks later on January 14th 1968. It is a shame that this game will forever over shadow the first NFL Championship Game that was played between these same two teams 364 days earlier on New Year's Day 1967. A former first baseman for the Washington Senators, Tom Brown intercepted Don Meredith's pass intended for Bob "The Bullitt" Hayes in the end zone with 45 seconds left that could of tied the game and send it into overtime. Instead, Green Bay held on after leading 34-20 to win 34-27 and go on to win Super Bowl 1. A few more interesting facts. This game was played in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas even though Green Bay had a better regular season record because back in those days the home field alternated between the two divisions that made up the NFL no matter what the teams records were. Bob Hayes caught one pass the whole game for a one yard gain and Dallas had a first and goal from the 2 with two minutes left and couldn't score on four plays after beginning the drive on the Green Bay 47 after a short punt. In retrospect this game was just as exciting and had a down-to-the-wire finish as did The Ice Bowl, but is rarely remembered.
If I may, here is why the Cowboys failed to tie the 1966 NFL Championship Game. First and goal, a oneone-yard run. Second and goal, an illegal procedure penalty against the Cowboys. Second and goal, incomplete pass. Third and goal, fourfour-yard completion. Fourth and goal, interception for a touchback. One major reason for the pick was that Bob Hayes was a very poor blocker. No one on the Cowboys removed him from the goal line offense, as was usually done. The blame goes to four people. Landry for not ordering Frank Clarke onto the field, Clarke for not substituting himself into the lineup, Hayes for not substituting himself out of the lineup and Meredith for not checking the lineup in the huddle.
@@jameswilson7790 Couldn't agree more James Wilson. Great facts, as are mine in my statement. Overall, my point still stands about how The Ice Bowl tends to prevent other football fans from researching/realizing what a great game these two teams had on the first day of 1967 as well as the last day of 1967. I've called them "bookend championships" for the Green Bay Packers in my conversations with other football fans over the years.
Vince Lombardi is the only coach in football history that could put a team through more torture and pain than any game sitiluation they could possibly encounter!! That is what won the Title one more time for the greatest dynasty in NFL history. That game wasnt played in December of 1967. It was played from 1958-1967. A culmination of the legacy of the greatest football coach the world will ever know.
On the last play, that was a great effort by Howley. And he almost did it. He just dove into the backfield, and if Starr had not switched hands, he might have caused a fumble.
Genius Tom Landry put the Cowboys in a PREVENT DEFENSE with the Packers driving into a headwind. How do you think Starr was able to complete all those short passes ? The secondary was playing 8 yards back at each snap...another Landry foul up !
I agree with you, but keep in mind that GB had only gained something like 55 yards on pass plays all day. They gained close to 60 on that final drive, including made up yards from losses. I don't think anyone could have anticipated that. The real problem was the time left -- there was too much time on the clock to do what Landry did. If I had to guess, either Landry or the assistant coaches were not paying enough attention to the game clock and for whatever reason thought it was later in the quarter than it actually was. But yeah, it was terrible strategy looking back. By the time the linebackers were able to get on the receivers, they were behind them due to footing. It just wasn't something a defense could prepare for. The Cowboys back then COULD win the Big game. They won a lot of big games. But until Super Bowl 6, they couldn't win the biggest.
Interesting how the Packers.......win 3 NFL championships and 1 Super Bowls-----Lombardi leaves........and the team goes 6-7-1 losing record, no division.......Was Lombardi that important to them?
Maybe.......my theory is that Bengston was a horrible Head Coach... They needed to get a experienced head coach for that team when Lombardi retired.. and they would have won the division..there were still good players on that team. .Bengston cold have went somewhere else
The Packers were an old team in 1968 and Lombardi's last couple of drafts were only so-so at best. There are some who think Lombardi stepped down as coach because he knew '67 was going to be the last Packer team to win a championship for awhile. While there's obviously more to it than that it's a hypothesis that can't be entirely dismissed -- Lombardi would only accept winning and the post '67 Packers weren't going to do that . . . . Cheers!
Lombardi won first TWO Super Bowls. Then he left and team collapsed, largely due to age, much like what happened to Mantle era Yankees a few years earlier.
This championship game just won't go away ever the person that stole the goal post in 1961 and then again the 67 you should be in jail you ruined it for future generations to see a piece of History NFL history
Imagine a quarterback having his cheeks massaged, because the brutal cold wouldn't allow the words Bart Starr was uttering to be understood by his teammates in the huddle.
Jerry Kramer was offsides. If you watch the play, it should have been called offsides and the game is over and Dallas wins. I have never got over this and I'm nearly 70 years old. Dallas got cheated.
Miss all those guys. They were special. I was glad to be alive that decade to experience all of it. Thank you so much.
Wow. That’s amazing to have seen Lombardi. What did you take away from that experience ?
R.I.P. Bart Starr. Your greatness on and off the field will surely be missed.

Not really! Washington made the Super Bowl in 1972. But it took another decade before they won.

The Tom Landry Trophy is awarded to what team each year?
Starr's QB sneak was only known between him and Lombardi. It caught everyone off guard, Cowboys and Packers.
I remember watching it on a new black & white Zenith TV! I was 8.
This play defines why Starr is the best ever. When it mattered, he delivered.
And he was the classiest man ever. So humble. The ranch he started for disadvantaged boys (Rawhide) is still going strong thanks to Bart’s and now his family’s wish to help others.

The Packers were great in this game in the clutch, but the Cowboys also played brilliantly. Both teams left nothing on the field on that day.
This was when the Pack was truly the Pack. Kramer should be in the Hall of Fame, as he made The Block of Ages.
Kramer and Ken Bowman made the block.
Not from this game, but when will the HOF finally bring Fuzzy Thurston in??? Great player for the first 3 Championship Packer teams.
