Ironic that dom capers and kevin green ended up helping GB win the 2010 superbowl

Both Carolina and Jacksonville made it to the conference championship game in 1996 despite it being just their second year in existence. The Jags squeaked into the postseason at 9-7 and then upset Buffalo and Denver in the playoffs. Their divisional round victory over the Broncos is still considered to be among the biggest upsets in NFL history. Their luck ran out in New England against the Patriots in the AFC championship game. Carolina took a different path to this game in Green Bay. The Panthers rode a truly dominant defense and the best special teams unit in the league to a 12-4 record and a first round bye. The two players with the most sacks in the NFL were both on the Panthers. They won 4 games by at least 20 points and 10 of their 12 wins were by double digits. They smothered the defending champion Cowboys in the divisional round before losing to a historically great Packers team. The 1996 Packers remain the only NFL team since the merger to lead the league in both scoring offense and scoring defense. As good as the Panthers were in their second season, they never stood a chance.

I agree, Carolina did not stand a chance playing against the Packers at negative 15 degrees in Lambeau. Lambeau have "humbled" alot of warm weathered teams into submission.

John madden and pat summrall always a classic to watch on TV or cell phones enjoy the game always appreciate you guys thanks for the memories take care. Joe

The panthers managed to reach the nfc championship 4 times and the SB 2 times in a 20 year span..that was their first 20 years too.

Gotdamn what an intro. I miss this era so much

QB, Kerry Collins was decent in mid/late '90s to early 2000s but after that I guess opposing teams had him mostly figured out. Maybe the Ravens exposed something in him because by the time Collins was with Raiders in '04, '05 there was nothing.

Everyone other than Panther fans wanted to see a Dallas vs Greenbay rematch at Lambeau. If Michael Irvin doesn't get hurt on the Cowboys first possession against Carolina. We most likely would have got the DAL vs GB game.

@@clickman443 It was going to be a tough game regardless with Carolina being undeafted at home and having a really tough blitz heavy defense. I thought we matched up well against them. The difference in the game came down to Dallas settling for FG's and Carolina scoring TD's. Even without Irvin we had the ball down six at the end of the game with a chance to steal a win. It would have been an anticlimactic win regardless because Irvin/Deion wouldn't have been available in the NFC Championship game.

@@supersexysega I was never a huge fan but I always said if there was one game I had to bet house and I could have any team I wanted, it would be prime 92-93 cowboys. I thought they were the most talented team from top to bottom I had ever seen. I got no enjoyment out of watching them go 6-10 in 97. I think that just taught me how short most careers are in the NFL and if you get a team like that, appreciate it because once it's gone, it's gone.

How many times has this been said the Pack was back

The Dorsey Levens game.

Anybody know if the full game is somewhere on the interwebs???

1996 Packers need more recognition as one of the greatest teams of all time. 13-3, scored the most points in the league, and gave up the fewest. The had the Back to Back league MVP at QB and the best defensive player in the league in Reggie White. They beat 8 teams by 25+points and they won all their playoff games by at least 14 points. Yet no one even talks about them as the best team of the 90s, let alone one of the best in league history.

They're like the 91 Redskins a dominant team that don't get a lot of attention. Even though I have read some articles who claimed that the 91 Redskins are the best football team in NFL history.

It would have been way better if it Dallas Green Bay.

Packers got some help from the referees couple of times in this game, no call on packers holding.

As a Packer fan I agree that, that TD to Dorsey Levens was not a TD, it was incomplete. His left foot was out of bounds. But the lack of replay karma did strike the Packers during the 1998 Wild Card Playoff game, the T.O. Catch game. Jerry Rice a few plays before the T.O. Catch did fumble. It was obvious. That's the call that led the NFL to reinstate replay in 1999. Yeah, that T.O. Catch should've never happened, and, I've seen plenty of times the Cowboys getting screwed too.

Obviously because I was being bias but in reality he caught the ball then reached for the end zone, granted, he probably could've been called down at the inch line, but, Dallas would've scored.
