Not running at least one more play before halftime was the most Mike McCarthy thing ever.

“That’s a Favre like throw” Crazy how times change. Now people say “That’s an Aaron Rodgers like throw”

This Packers team was probably the best 6-10 team in NFL history. Positive point differential, top 5 in scoring, 4000 yard QB, 1000 yard RB, 2 1000 yard receivers, top five in defensive interceptions, the list goes on.

As crazy as it is, Aaron Rodgers' first TD pass as a starter is still one of the best throws of his career.

The amount of tackles that would be penalties today is hilarious. Man I miss those days

mason crosby tackling jared allen at 6:40 is the epitome of bravery

Rest In Peace Tavaris Jackson🙏🏼🙏🏼

I was at this game, and there are 2 moments I remember very vividly. During the break between the 1st and 2nd quarter, a Cowboys fan (don't know why he was there) telling me Rodgers had a weak arm and couldn't throw deep, then Rodgers promptly completing that bomb to Jennings at the start of the 2nd quarter. And the TD throw to Hall, that was the moment I knew the Packers had something special in Rodgers.

prime AP really was something special, damn

This is an underrated game in NFL history. I wish the NFL Network would re-air this game sometime. Thanks for posting!

3:41 that angle really captures how insane of a throw that was 🤯

Ik this is an Aaron Rodgers video but it also reminded me of the old AP and how there used to be WAY more power backs in the league that would put their head down and bowl over defenders. I miss it

GODDAMN, I MISS TIRICO ON MNF.

That first TD throw was sick af

8:07 What a beautiful play-call, throw and catch from Rodgers to Driver.....obviously it got called back, but it's rare you see a play like that during a QB's first start. Then again, Rodgers himself is pretty rare...

The beginning of Mr. discount double check

That touchdown throw by Aaron Rodgers was an unbelievable throw. One of the damnedest throws id ever seen

Start of Rodgers great ongoing career

The game where the state of Wisconsin and the city of Green Bay embraced the Aaron Rodgers era.

Back when Packers actually had a pass rush defense 😂(ima packers fan chill)

This channel helps me with the desire I have for the regular season to begin

No one talking about the young AP

His throwing motion looks a lot quicker now

3:15 one of the most underrated throws ever

tavaris Jackson was running for his life in this game lmaoo

This game takes me back to middle school man 😅

The frist AR td passa was Magic.

Aaron rodgers was already great when he first started

Wow shit feels like yesterday, crazy we just drafted Love... always will nod my head to the bad man, easily up there with all time favorite packers

My ad was a state farm ad starring Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers' been doing his thing. He just needed to adjust to the NFL back then. But now he's one of the elites.

RIP Tavaris Jackson!

These videos really take me back to watching these games live. Keep these up!

When Rodgers took over was such a fun time to be a Packers fan. As much as I loved Favre, it was so cool to witness the new era (I was too young to witness the beginning of the Favre era). I think we could be seeing the same thing in terms of the new head coach and coaching staff. I'm very excited for this season. GO PACK GO

There's also a highlights reel of Brady's first start, and I was struck by the differences. Rogers had had three years of sitting on the sideline, and now he was the crown prince taking over for the king. He was drafted in the first round, was always someone to be watched, and had known this moment was coming for months, ever since Favre announced his retirement. His victory was welcome, and enjoyed, and everyone felt relief that he could, indeed meet a high standard. He was clearly a star. Brady was taken in the sixth round, no one thought much of him, he'd been given the starting job with a week's notice after Beldsoe's injury, and no one expected anything from him. He was facing Peyton Manning and the Colts. At that point, a number of analysts ranked the Colts within the top three teams. Patriots were at the bottom. We're accustomed to thinking of the Patriots as the top team, but people said they were made of cast-offs, rejects, and losers. Rodgers made a much better show as a first time starter. He threw some beautiful balls, he understood exactly what he needed to do, watching him is a joy. He could run and move to a startling degree. I only wish he'd had better weapons around him. I don't know how he dropped that far in the draft, but the Packers are fortunate to have grabbed him. Brady, in that first game, depended, heavily, on a defense that suddenly came alive, and a running game no one suspected even existed. The fun of that clip is watching Manning's growing frustration, a defense no one believed in (that scored two touchdowns and forced two other turnovers), a running game that suddenly emerged (analysts, in discussing it later, couldn't believe it showed up), and unexpected qualities from a quarterback no one believed in. Brady made some good throws, made some good decisions, and didn't make any important mistakes. He wasn't Brady, not yet. That would emerge during the year. But even within that first game you could watch him improve. Final score? Patriots 44, Colts 13. Manning scored one of those touchdowns himself.

2:07 Peterson murdered Al Harris with the stiff arm

RIP T-Jack!

Man, that first touchdown throw was nuts

Man, I miss watching Jennings... it's a shame how his and Rodgers relationship wound up.

Imagine if you give this Aaron Rodgers the skill, experience, and football wisdom of 2020 Aaron.

Is it just me, or was the Lambeau crowd way more electric back then?

Back when we had a D. Good to see...2 years before the SB victory

Prime AP was so ridiculous. He did everything, not sure Ill ever see another RB like him

Look at how young he looked at the beggining coming out the tunnel. Its crazy how we age. Chad Clifton mark Tauscher so many great players us packer fans are the luckiest team to have back to back hall of fame quarterbacks.

That punt return by Blackmon was the best part of this video. Oh, and Rodgers is the goat.

AP does not go quietly out of bounds WOO

NFL Throwback could you guys do 2007 Lions @ Raiders (it’s Calvin Johnson’s NFL debut)

The good old days... When you can actually watch a "real game of football" with big hits, and not a ton of penalties!

Classic rivalry Those first couple possessions. You could feel the intensity from the defense from both sides.

Greg Jennings puttin the team on his back 😂😂

I was at this game. Along with 70,000 some others.

it's hard to argue he's thrown a better touchdown pass than this first one as a starter at 3:40. absolutely wicked angle that the ball is thrown at relative to the direction rodgers is facing, slips by 3 separate defenders fingertips, all while off balance. very impressive and beautiful to watch

This channel is amazing!

Even with how well Rodgers started...you know what won the game that has been missing for years in Green Bay? The defense

This is awesome

I almost forgot how bad Tavaris Jackson was 😂

"that's a favre like throw" Lol bruh Favre not making that fucking throw

Crazy how young everyone looks

This brings back great childhood memories. 😁

I was at this game. What an event to be at..

2 elite combos on these teams! The William's wall and al Harris and charles woodson all elite legends

A 2 fullback set with Hall AND Kuhn!

At 3:13 What A TD Pass By Rodgers To Corey Hall

this was such a great era for football in general

Anyone see the block Greg Jennings was throwing at the start

Don;t often see debut QB games as good as this one, he is just supremely confident as soon as he runs his first play. Even back then his decision making was like a veteran.

Damn Jordan Love

So much nostalgia.

9:02 Will Blackmon. One of the greatest athletes ever to come out of Bishop Hendricken.

I still remember the Thursday nighter the year before when the packers and cowboys were both 10-1 and favre was shifting the bed and left with a phantom injury. I remember Rodgers coming in and doing his thing and thinking to myself “this guys gonna be special here if given the chance”. Later that year when favre retired I was actually happy cause his interceptions in big games were so heart breaking, I wanted to see what this guy Rodgers could do. I love favre but Rodgers has outdone him by miles.

Omg I forgot they used to be able to say game over, now no announcer says it, almost like the NFL banned it🤣🤣

Ap trucked his soul out of him rip bro

His first touchdown pass as the starter was as great a throw as any QB could ever make. What a sign of things to come. Simply the greatest thrower of the football in the history of the sport.

That's when he became "elite"

When are we gonna see a Vikings win over Green Bay? Tons of great ones to choose from. Anything from the Culpepper/Moss era would be sweet!

Remember this game

if this vikings team had brett farve just a year earlier this game is even wilder

I miss football

RIP Tavaris Jackson

This was when the packers had that magic about them

I REMEMBER THIS GAME

HISTORY HAS BEEN WRITTEM

This game that changed the game forever and he became the face of the nfl and one of the best and most elite arms and accuracy in the game and one of the al time greats what a career and what a journey

Back before living in Wisconsin sucked all the joy out of his life

Crazy I was watching FlemLo about Sidney Rice and here he goes lol

Crazy how Tramon and AR STILL on the 2019 Packers 11 year's later #GoPackGo

Wow....great to see Jennings and Driver and the whole old gang...plus I didn't remember it....it was exciting. whew.

Don't know anything about football but whatever happened at 9:05 by player 27 seemed pretty impressive!

RIP Tavares Jackson

That kid wearing No.12 has potential. ---- Some Packer fan in 2007.

Wow I completely forgot about Will the thrill’s punt return! He was fun to watch

"Chester Taylor in, 3rd and 4" "Jackson's throw low."

Legend

That touchdown throw was absolutely ridiculous man.

3:20 when you knew he was special

nothing more i miss than fans at games

That first touchdown, 3:40 the way he flicks it, goddamn that's sexy.

Genius clock management by Mccarthy at the end of the first half there

I remember seeing the first ball he threw when I was a kid and thinking "hmm that goofy looking dude ain't too bad"

And the rest as they say was history!
