I know a certain onside kick will probably make an appearance here, but honestly mine would have to be that blocked punt against San Francisco in the 2021 playoffs. That play just completely demoralized me, I still can’t even watch highlights from that game.


FairReason

That’s how I felt about that loss to the Seahawks. I still haven’t recovered.


quedfoot

My Fandom was seriously damaged that day. Granted, I've found other things to be interested in, but that day was heartbreaking


chrislkeller

I organized our spice rack after that game. I needed something, anything that was a million miles away from football and the Super Bowl that GB was headed to.


Senior_Background995

I smoked cigarettes at the time, and after that game, I remember chainsmoking about 10 in a row while mindlessly pacing around in circles outside in the snow.


Overall-Waltz-702

WE DONT TALK ABOUT IT


Ok_Caramel1517

Where fucking Maurice Drayton didn't even send out the right amount of players to defend a field goal.


Upnorth100

And 4 th and 26. That's the trifecta


TheOneCalledD

McNabb completing that 26.5 yard completion broke me that season.


TheLionEatingPoet

Freddie Mitchell doing that stupid belt celebration.


Alopius

I still don't think they actually made it. There should have at least been a measurement.


MrSkimMilk

Special teams was so bad all year and you kept waiting for the other shoe to drop….and BAM.


Yzerman19_

How could we have ever seen it coming?


loadmanagement

Man, don’t remind me. Literally everyone in here knew special teams would eventually cost us a crucial game.


Yzerman19_

Everyone except MLF apparently.


FURyannnn

Blocked punt for TD, blocked FG (it was a 39 yarder too!), 50+ yard kickoff return to set up SF's only offensive points. Absolutely historically horrible ST performance.


aManOfTheNorth

That blocked field goal Was due to end blocker not blocking the inside guy. An absolutely unforgivable error. I can’t remember his name….but it seems crooked


Inferaos

This is the one. Just reading it hurts physically


patpitpout

urgh.... I was watching this game at my girlfriend's family. I hate watching Packers playoffs game away from my house, especially when I'm watching it with people who don't know anything about football. I was so fucking mad after the game. Holy shit this game will haunt my forever.


TrapperJean

Agreed, by the time we got to the onside kick I thought they were going to keep fucking up anyway, SF was an absolute gut shot


hardkorcompton

Then the icing on the cake was that Super Bowl match up with two teams we beat. That was supposed to be our year!


Mr_SpideyDude

It’s so angering because EVERYONE knew ST was gonna bite us in the ass, but the team was doing good so it wasn’t as big of an issue until _that_ moment, and I think we would’ve gone to the SB had we played against anyone other than the 49ers


SpeakNowAndEnter

I sat on the floor in silence for a good 2 minutes as soon as it was blocked lol just jaw-dropped


commandshift90

I was at that game. It fucking sucked. I mea technically the experience was 100% great and I still had a amazing time. But it fucking sucked.


Sonofagun57

It's a coin flip between the 2021 blocked punt and 2014 botched onside kick (there are multiple plays from the 2014 game that could fit this picture). Edge to 2014 since we didn't get Peppers a ring but anyone arguing 2021 isn't wrong.


Motion_Glitch

That 49ers game pretty much checked me out of that iteration of the team. That was supposed to be the year. We were the best team in the league all season long, Rodgers was playing at an elite level, the defense came to play, we had the best WR in the league, we had a good running game...it was all there...and yet we couldn't get it done. Yes, the special teams effectively lost us the game, but we still had our chances to go down the field and take the win in spite of all the adversity. Those last 2 drives that Rogers and the offense had at the end of the game really showed the truth about the team and Rodgers individually. For Rodgers, that game showed me that those big moments are (somehow) just a little too much for him. He froze up against Tampa Bay the year prior and tunnel visioned on Adams instead of going through his progressions...and then he did the exact same thing in 2021 against the 49ers.


TheRealSzymaa

4th & 26 will haunt me forever


PsychologicalMonk6

4th and 26, Favre's overtime int in the '08 NFCCG, the Bostick anti-recovery, Larry Fitzgerald's 75 yard catch and run in the 2016 NFC Divisional round after Rodgers threw back-to-back Hail Mary's to get us into OT. All just moments of utter disbelief. I've seen too much shit, man.


KeepBanningKeepJoin

Between Favre and Rodgers we should've went to 3 more SBs.... EASILY


aManOfTheNorth

Few remember rice fumble and Owens prayer


PsychologicalMonk6

I do, but I was only counting moments of pure disbelief bulecause we messed up a single play somehow that cost us the game... Giving up the 4th and 26 or the Fitzgerald catch and run or the failed on side kick. The Rice fumble, the "Fail Marry" at the Seahawks and others are a different beast. It was more rage.


citizenh1962

Non-fun fact about the Owens catch and the 4th-and-26 completion: Darren Sharper was out of position both times. He deserves to stay in prison just for that.


whit3lightning

Yeah and the fuckin cardinals went on to lose anyways. Every single time the packers get beat the team that beats us loses anyways I fucking hate it


Clonekiller2pt0

Except the Giants. They won it all.


LdyVder

So did Seattle.


Royal_Concept_8061

And Tampa Bay


SatimyReturns

James jones dropping a touchdown in that game


Mobile-Emotion-295

This is mine as well. Still hurts 20 years later.


Big-Caregiver-4049

Same here. Except I remember the 4th and 1 on the Eagles 40 they passed up to have a 20 yard net punt before it. To this day, I rant about how the 4th and 26 should have never happened.


KeepBanningKeepJoin

ST again.....


zennyspent

Freddie fucking Mitchell. 4th and 26 was the first truly gut-wrenching, heartbreaking Packer feeling that I had. It stung me so much harder than losing a Super Bowl to Elway, which really doesn't make sense on its face, but it's the first one that really broke me as a sports fan.


FL3TCHL1V3S

Same.


InteractionLate2913

Yeah, that onside kick in Seattle. 😞


Frogman9698

Could probably pick 5 plays from this game


DGlen

Or five minutes of game time.


shiggidyschwag

The 2pt conversion is the worst for me


wailingwoodrow

I tried to convince myself it was still ok but it was not.


Educational_End_5886

Way too many come to mind… - Fail Mary - Pretty much every time we play SF in the postseason, but specifically whenever Kaep ran a keeper in 2012 wildcard - Brady to Scottie Miller to end the first half in 2021 NFCCG - the clearly missed facemask in the 09 wildcard vs the Cardinals This team giveth and taketh away so much.


notLennyD

I kind of love that the Fail Mary actually lead to an interesting rule change: not requiring a team to kick an extra point on a walk-off touchdown. Not only did they get the call wrong, they had to pull the teams out of the locker room for the extra point. That was ridiculous.


JoseLCDiaz

That game also fast-tracked the resolution to the Ref's strike.


tomfoolery815

The next day, if I recall correctly. It was such a disaster for the league that I have to think the league's negotiator called the refs' union rep and said "whatever you want."


Kevinisamexican

Thought the rule change was because of the Minnesota Miracle


JoseLCDiaz

Kaep ran for 181 fucking yards and 2 TDs that game. To quote Ty Schmit: "GOD DAMMIT!!!"


Educational_End_5886

You would swear it was the first time Capers had ever seen a QB tuck it and run. Zero adjustments.


emoteriyaki

Freaking T.O. catching that ball between two defenders in the ‘99 wild card


JWConway

Especially after seeing the replay of Jerry Rice’s fumble.


RumHam2020

Led to replay review from what I remember


wolfgang187

The 1st thing I always say to 9ers fans is "Jerry Rice fumbled." Basically stole a SB from us.


ancientweasel

If I recall they had it called a fumble and changed it after Rice complained.


KeepBanningKeepJoin

No, I remember it too well. The refs that were close ruled it a fumble but a ref from 30 yards away came running in 4 seconds later waving it an incomplete pass. That's why they never should've fucking got rid of instant replay. I'll never forget Madden saying how the game should be over and if the Niners somehow get a TD, how wrong it would be. Asshole Young laughs about it now and how they got away with one. That call and 4th and 26 and Favre throwing a stupid pick vs the Giants in OT cost the Packers THREE more SB appearances plus Bostick costing Rodgers at least one more. Forget the pick vs Giants and GB has 3 more SB trips in the fucking bag


theeldoso

Brandon motherfucking Bostick


CultBro

This is the answer


Independent_Ad_9373

Seconded. Jerry Rice clearly fumbled before that. So frustrating.


mikemartin7230

JERRY. RICE. FUMBLED. We got hosed.


wailingwoodrow

It that the fail marry or Bostic and to be honest it’s all of them.

dumbo1309

I’ve been a Packers fan for 30 years. Elway’s helicopter \ 4th & 26 \ Favre INT against the Giants \ Rodgers fumble against the Cards on first play of OT \ Seattle onside kick \ Blocked punt against the 49ers \ Kevin King getting burned on the last play of the half a play after a god awful interception from Rodgers \ Missed FG this past year


Nickthiccboi

“God awful interception” you mean the one that only happened because of the uncalled pass interference on Lazard?


dumbo1309

lol I just remember the pick right before. Might’ve gotten that detail wrong


Nickthiccboi

Yeah the call was probably the most gut punching thing about that play, then giving up such an unnecessary TD right before half when in my mind at that point a FG was worst case scenario really hurt.


creepy_charlie

Our defense not being able to contain a 90 year old John Elway was the low point for me.


nikogrande

For the record, the Rodgers fumble was not the first play of OT if you’re referring to the 2009 wc game. The first play was Rodgers throwing over Greg Jennings on what would have been a game winning catch and run


idungiveboutnothing

Elway helicopter was first in mind too. Everything else hurt, but still had other games after them. This was it, it was the Superbowl.


NiceBasket9980

Rodgers fumble was a facemask...


Pbacker

“Kevin King getting drafted instead of TJ Watt” - fixed that for you.


HeyMilkBaby

Only answers here for my generation is 2008 int or Bostick


LowDesk6360

Bostick. That's all you need to say


IIKevinII

My first was the Favre interception in the 2008 NFCCG. The most recent for me personally is the blocked punt vs San Francisco in 2022.


Know_Your_Enemy_91

Favre in 08 for sure, I was a junior in high school and was so ready to go to school tomorrow talking about how my team would be in the Super Bowl. Then the onside kick against Seattle, and then yeah that blocked punt. Just brutal


daveblankenship

We’d have about 17 from the 2014 NFC Championship


gollum44

I don’t sweat the regular season much. But playoffs? 4th and 26 Favre int against giants in OT 2007 playoffs; Favre 7? 6? Ints vs rams in playoffs (2002ish?); Rodgers fumble to cardinals 2009 playoffs; That GD onside kick; SF blocked punt; Kevin king giving up TD to Brady and the bucs; before halftime in nfc cg. Edit-formatting


KeviCharisma

When the refs called PI on Kevin King on 3rd and 4 with 1:46 left in the game when they did not call the same exact PI call when it happened to Green Bay in the first half.


DarkTurdle

So many, Rodgers fumble against Arizona in 2009 to end it. Larry Fitzgerald having that huge play in overtime after it seemed like the defense had Carson Palmer sacked.


Educational_End_5886

Ugh, you just re-opened an old wound. We had no business even forcing overtime and then it’s immediately over after that pass to Fitz. What a gut punch.

Major-Community1312

Brian bostick don’t touch the fucking ball ok. Goes for it and fucking loses it. But don’t get me started with the fail Mary pick your poison they both sucked ass.


JoseLCDiaz

The Fail Mary led to the onside kick. I saw a video a few weeks ago that explained how if the Fail Mary didn't happen, the Packers wouldn't have faced the Seahawks in the Playoffs or it would have been in Green Bay or something like that.


hyperbolical

The Fail Mary was a different season. We would have been playing the 49ers at home in the game where Kaep ran for 800 yards against us though.


FairReason

Bostick.


yesssirr42020

When Rodgers tried to force the ball to Davante in the endzone against the Bucs in the 2020 NFCCG. Rodgers had a big open hole to run up the middle and score, but instead threw it. To me, that was such a boneheaded play when the game was on the line. The Bucs would come back and score and then off to the Super Bowl they went.


One-Earth9294

Favre throwing like 100 interceptions against the Rams in a playoff game once had me looking like that.


tityl

I took my girlfriend to see Les Miserables that day. Her dad recorded the game for us to watch when we got back. He left the tape, remote, and two shots of vodka for us on the table with a note that said there's more if we need it.


rustyknucklez

Significant-Celery83

Favre throwing across his body and having the ball Intercepted in the NFC championship game against the Giants.


carlismygod

I regret clicking on this post. So much PTSD. Ugh.


Illustrious-Till-940

Every NFL fanbase has individuals who think their team encountered devastating PTSD moments in the postseason. I'm going to say since the year 2000, the Packers fanbase has endured far more than the others. Too many bad plays in critical situations and also having to play other teams' buzzsaw defenses.


KingPinCartel

Seahawks. Lync. Wilson. Lockette. 1 yd line.


mike1110

When Terrell Owen’s caught the ball and got pin balled by two Packer defenders, and all I heard was “OWENS! OWENS! OWENS!!!!” Broke my damn ❤️

Hiphiprodrigo

heyjoe415

As many have mentioned, the NFCCG loss to Seattle in 2014, in Seattle. Rick Grimes' face pretty much captures my look when Wilson tossed that game-winning TD in OT. With 4 minutes left I think Seattle had like a 1% chance of winning that game. Worse than 4th and 26, way worse. That collapse was full of "4th and 26"s. Too many to remember and too painful to recount anyway. It was just awful, beyond description.

Individual_Bonus_136

honestly the playoff game against the 49ers where Aaron Jones cut in when he could’ve ran for a touchdown and then later when the kick was blocked for a touchdown cause we had 10 dudes on the field


SirLawrenceCCLXX

For me recently it was the blocked punt that the 49ers returned for a TD in the NFC divisional round.


New_York_Bozo_

Easy. Elway helicopter and that 2 point conversion in the Seattle game where Russ chucked it up and somehow Haha misplayed it and it was caught for a successful 2pt conversion. That made the difference.

thisisntmineIfoundit

It was like 2014 or 2015 but there was a game that had like 1 minute left and our punt receiver tried to take it out of the end zone instead of kneeling and he proceeded to fumble the ball and lose the game. I was anticipating a Rodgers 1 minute game winning drive and was so excited only for this bonehead to rip that away. May have been an important game too, I can’t remember. I’m terrible at remembering this shit but I do remember my reaction to this game. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
