I'm curious to know what was your favorite game of 2014? My guess is people will say beating the Patriots, that was an epic thrilling game.

My least favorite game was the 'R-E-L-A-X' game. That was the most overblown, annoying thing in sports this year, IMO. :P

Very close between the last 3, beating the Patriots is always great, same with the Cowboys. Also always nice to remind Detroit they are our bitch.

Pats, mainly because we dominated them although is wasn't seen on the scoreboard, very similar to that one game but we actually finished them off.

I was at the Cowboys game and that was a fun comeback and it was nice to shut up all of the Cowboys fans who went, but the no "catch" kind of overshadowed it and became annoying.

For me personally it's the Miami Dolphins game. I lived in Miami for 10 years, and not that I hate Miami fans or anything, but it felt special.

I do like the Dolphins actually, they are AFC, so it hardly ever conflicts, and growing up in WI, I was a huge Dan Marino fan. I'm pretty much a homer and don't like many players beyond GB, but Dan Marino was one of the few. What he did was incredible, and even with all the passing rule changes his numbers still look amazing, which gives you an idea of how insane they really were.

Whenever the Dolphins did play the Packers, which was every few years, it was always a huge event for me. I think in 2007 I contact various people from Packer Messages boards across the internet, plus some friends from WI, and had hosted about 25-30 Packer fans for the weekend in Miami, I booked hotels, someone flew down with a cooler of Brats as their Carry-on Luggage, and we had an amazing weekend. We also all melted in the heat but somehow GB prevailed. I think in 2004 I flew up to GB for a MNF game vs Miami. I also attend Favre's first game as a Jet in 2008 in Miami. I even attended a preseason game in early 2000's and remember in a meaningless 4th quarter with 80% crowd gone, seeing a fast 7th round pick WR streak in front of me and score a TD and wondered, wow who was that kid? It was Donald Driver.

All year long I used to listen to Dolphins talk radio, so that once in 3 years opportunity to hear about the Packers, used to get me so pumped up. I moved 5 years ago from Miami, and this year so many of my Miami and WI friends were asking me, "Are you going to be in Miami for the game!?" I'd never missed a Packer game in Miami before. They were all wondering how I was not there.

Besides the emotional attachment to the game, it was one of the most exciting games I've ever seen in my life! It was one of Aaron Rodgers best clutch performances of his career. The game went back and forth and at some point almost all hope was extinguished but still that team found a way. They battled the heat (which as a fan you are almost passing out just sitting in that damn heat, I don't know how you can play in it!!)

Early in the game the defense had a 4 down goal line stance at the 1 yard line after a blocked punt. Packers were losing 24-17 with 9 minutes left to play, and momentum and heat seemed all Miami. The D started strong but was wilting and both our corners left the game. Miami just scored and Packers needed a drive or it looked like it was over. The offense looks like they are about to go 3 and out, and it's 3rd and 10 and not much hope, but somehow Rodgers completes 3rd and 10 and drives down to get a FG.

The Defense has 4 minutes and needs to get the ball back, and despite B. Jones penalties the D uses up all their TO's and gets a stop with 2 minutes left.

Rodgers and company have to get 7, 2 minutes no TOs. Rodgers gets to around midfield and gets sacked, somehow Lang saves it but it's 4th and 10. It's over. 4th and 10!?!? Impossible. Yet JORDY for 18!!, then a couple plays later 3rd and 10 and STARKS for 10 yards!

Then of course with seconds ticking Rodgers pulls off the Dan Marino fake spike IN MIAMI, and the rookie in his 6th NFL game gains 12 and steps out of bounds with 6 ticks left.

Rodgers to Quarless and the rest is history.

To me that's one of the most amazing comeback wins in Rodgers career. Second for me might be 2011 against the Giants in NY where he has 45 seconds and comes back beat them with a jordy nelson acrobatic toe tap on the sideline.

Sorry for the run-on, I'm just trying to relive my favorite moment of this year and focus on the positives of what was a season filled with some pretty amazing moments.

Patriots was a sweet one. Brady yelling like a little kid was priceless.

I can't even pick a favorite. Right now the whole season is a miserable bust.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Packers Vs Dolfins turned out to be the Never Say Never Game of the year:

That's 2 years in a row. This game, and last year the 4th and 8th beat down of the bears.

Mine was an option that was not there, but for a completely personal reason. My answer is the Atlanta Falcons game because it was my first game at Lambeau.
