      Lynn Dickey was an incredibly accurate QB. It’s a shame the injuries he suffered. Not to mention getting traded to the Packers when they were the joke of the NFL, deservedly so. With a couple better breaks in his career, he’d have been a HOFer and likely a SB winner.

    Thanks so much for posting this. I had forgotten that both Archie Manning and Dave Casper had gone on to play for the Oilers and Jan Stenerud for the Packers.

He was all class.

    1983 Packers offense was one of the best in their history. I remember crying as a 12 year old when Eddie Lee Ivery went down in that first game at Soldier Field with that horrible knee injury his rookie year. I honestly believe he could have been one of the absolute best rb's in history if not for the multiple knee injuries. Great to see this footage from the past.

    Another very memorable Packer game was the first ever Monday Night Football game played at Lambeau Field in 1979. The Packers were huge underdogs and they beat the New England Patriots. Bart Starr was the Packers' coach. The final score was Green Bay 27 New England 14. I was a freshman at the University of Illinois and back then hardly any college students had televisions, so if you wanted to watch something, you had to go to the dorm's TV lounge. The game was delayed about 30 minutes for a Jimmy Carter speech. When the speech was over, I found out that everyone else wanted to watch M*A*S*H, so I ended up going to another dorm to watch the game. It was just me and another Packer fan there. He left a couple times when he thought the Packers were going to blow it and then I let him know what he missed.

      Yes, his only year in Houston, then his last year in Minnesota, after 13 seasons in New Orleans for the 'Aints back in the day when they were beyond bad! Archie was such a great QB, but on 3 terrible teams! You can see where Peyton & Eli got it from.

    I thought there was a year that the Packers recieving core from that era all went to the Pro Bowl (Lofton, Jefferson, Coffman) but not Dickey. To me, that was a head scratcher.

    Looks like a good game. It's so weird how they never had the score showed throughout the game like how they do nowadays. "Lynn Dicky" looked pretty good for a Packer QB I never heard of.

      They never did back then. It was Fox when they got the NFC package in 1994 that introduced the "FoxBox" and everybody said it wouldn't work, that it would be too distracting. Lynn Dickey was with Green Bay for 10 years

    Packers had a very good offense then, w Dickey. Campbell’s last season w Houston. Football was great back then, so much more fun. Teams had personalities, old fashioned and fun. QBs were much tougher.
