Most Memorable Cowboys/Packers games of All Time:

(here's a look on my time top five most memorable Cowboys/Packers games)

1) Cowboys 38 Green Bay 27 (1995 playoff vs B.Favre , en route to Steelers in SB)

2) Cowboys 42 Green Bay 31 (1994 Jason Garrett Thanksgiving comeback win)

3) Cowboys 27 Green Bay 17 (1993 playoffs win- en route to rematch vs Bills in SB)

4) Green Bay 34 Cowboys 31 (2016 playoffs loss by expiring FG - Dak/Zeke rookie years)

5) Green Bay 26 Cowboys 21 (2014 playoffs, Dez Bryant “No Catch” rule)

Honorable Mention:

Cowboys 37 GB 27
(2007) - Aaron Rodgers era begins (also NFL Network’s Bryan Gumbel

That’s a good list of games. That Dez Bryant game freakin irks me to this day. Took away a great moment and a fantastic finish as there were still 4 mins left.

I still cannot decide which was more heartbreaking..
2014 Dez no TD catch in 2014.

..or Rodgers engineering FG drive to win the game at the buzzer in 2016.

You can tell this is a young crowd, because the most memorable Cowboys/Packers game of all time was the Ice Bowl in 1967. The link you provided listed it at number one. That was an historic game all be it a bad ending for the Cowboys.

The Dez "No Catch" game is what always comes to mind for me. I'll never get over that one. Will irritate me until the end of time. :mad:

.I like comparisons based on watching the actual game, with players and coaches and eras ... than what i heard and read from back in the dayz

i didn't personally experience that Ice Bowl era like i did the Brett Favres and Aaron Rodgers era. ..From the Ice Bowl, i just have highlights of YouTube to go off with seeing Bullet Bob Hayes tip toeing in brutal ice, shivering cold with his hands in his pocket....

The Ice Bowl was five years before I started following the Cowboys but I’ve seen the highlights at least a hundred times, including a documentary and I even watched the entire game. It was one of the most iconic games in NFL history and some of that had to do with it being the coldest game in history.

yeh, in terms of the coldest NFL playoff games ever played, ..the infamous Ice Bowl still ranks on record as the coldest playoff game ever played.
even over the 1981 Chargers- Bengals playoff game.(minus 59 degree wind) a game that i personally remember watching

And for the record, i cannot stand weather-affected games ! ... Whether snow, high winds, or drenching down-pour rain.
Amazing how owners simply will not dome their newly built stadium to shield the elements. .

Coldest Games in NFL history:

There was a blatantly missed holding call on that play. Well, it wasn’t missed since it was so obvious. It just wasn’t called.

Appears they only factor in the actual temperature as the coldest game ever. Although Cincinnati was 59 below zero windchill, the actual temperature was somewhere around 6 below. Weather can certainly affect games and hopefully the weather conditions will be reasonable in Green Bay on Sunday. If this was a December game I would be a lot more concerned about the weather, although it can still get pretty cold in November.

No one can disgree with you on your choices; it really depends on what Cowboys-Packers game you witnessed in your life to date.
I watched the two NFL Campionship Games back in 1967.
Yes - the first was on New Years Day....and the second was 364 days later - on New Year's Eve.
The Cowboys literally lost two titles two seasons in a row in the LAST MINUTE.
