who played in the ice bowl
In the final analysis, it was the same old Packers, moving when they had to.
I’ve wondered for years how to define and explain that.
There were five bus drivers gathered around the fireplace. “There’s absolutely no doubt about it. In the dramatic final seconds, the Packers pulled it out for Lombardi, and moved into the Jan. 14 Super Bowl game at Miami against the American Football League champion Oakland Raiders.
The temperature was 15 below in Green Bay when the Packers and Cowboys played for a spot in the second Super Bowl. The first word in the huddle if it was going to be a pass was ‘fire’ or ‘pass.’ Bart said, ‘Pass 36 left post.’ I left the huddle early and I was messing around with Renfro a little bit.
There was no fear. Walt and I put our coat and tie on and we went outside and we said, ‘Dang, it’s cold out here.’ Being from the south, which both of us were, we thought if it’s 32 degrees, how much colder can it get?”, Brandt: “I went downstairs at the Holiday Inn and I asked the woman at the desk how cold it was and she said the wind chill was 41 degrees (below zero). "The lady said, 'Good morning, it's seven o'clock and the temperature is 14 degrees,'" said Andrie. Leaving it up to Starr for the winner. We were running around like a bunch of colts in the field. They were all wearing boots and when I asked about them they said, ‘These aren’t boots. The ground appeared to be freezing up. I really felt they were the best team the year before, but I thought we had an excellent chance to beat them in ’67.”, Cowboys defensive end George Andrie: “I was very confident. Teammate Reeves gained 42 yards in 13 attempts. Kramer made a great block on Jethro Pugh," he said. I guess I had a head start on them. Starr's two touchdown passes to Boyd Dowler had built up an early 14-0 lead for the favored Packers in the frigid cold of 13 below zero weather. Saturday morning was balmy by comparison -- windless, firm footing, mid-teen temperatures and light fog. He took a hell of a gamble and won.’ ”. Not because I made it. People talk about that game more than any other. Andrie was part of the "Doomsday Defense" that included Hall of Famer Bob Lilly and fellow starters Willie Townes and Jethro Pugh. Lea: “It was a drastic change. Nothing. DALLAS (AP) — George Andrie, the former Dallas Cowboys defensive end who scored a touchdown in the Ice Bowl game against Green Bay in 1967, has died.
It is among the most memorable games in league annals because of the wretched conditions, what was at stake and the dramatic way it ended. Dowler suffered a concussion on the play when Cowboys cornerback Cornell Green tackled him and his helmet slammed into the frozen ground. If you caught three passes, that was a lot.
"The day wasn't too cold if you won," he said without smiling. "Minus 13," said Don Meredith, quarterback for the Cowboys. Unfortunately, they show us losing every year.”. Chuck later told me Vince called him personally, but was it really Vince? I think it happened to (referee) Norm (Schachter) and Bill Schleibaum, the line judge.

The Packers called it the “sucker” play. He was a quarterback in college and he understood defenses. “I am affected when it gets real cold,” he said. Renfro looked like he was inching up (to the line of scrimmage). Alternate referee Jim Tunney: “I’m a California kid. ", Dowler: “We were an unusual group of people. Coach Tom Landry had grown nose fangs. But we hardly ever passed. Gosh, Lance was so wide open. George Andrie, the former Dallas Cowboys defensive end who scored a touchdown in the Ice Bowl game against Green Bay in 1967, has died. I’m licking my chops. The only interception was by the Packers' Herb Adderley, who picked off a Meredith toss in the second quarter. We got into a (bidding war) for this young man from Yale. We were second and 19 and we overcame that loss. A grid of electric coils, buried inches below the surface of the Lambeau Field turf, were designed to keep the grass soft and provide a good playing surface in cold weather. "It was a dumb call. 'America's Game': The Ice Bowl NFL Films chronicles the "Ice Bowl" between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. The Packers had beaten the Cowboys, 34-27, in the 1966 NFL Championship Game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and went on to win Super Bowl I. Something turned on inside of us and all of a sudden everybody is doing their job and we’re moving down the field.
I moved back to the second row and had coffee there and it froze on the ledge.”, Anderson: “Lee Roy Caffey and Tommy Joe Crutcher, my Texas buddies, we were saying, ‘I wonder if they’re going to play this game?’ We kept thinking Lombardi was going to come out and say, ‘The game’s been canceled.’ (Center) Kenny Bowman and (holder) Bart Starr and (kicker) Don Chandler and Willie Wood, the return man, went outside to practice kickoffs and field goals.
Harder than Chinese arithmetic.".
“I think it’s the most talked-about game, including Super Bowls, in history,” said Gil Brandt, then the vice president of player personnel for the Cowboys. The players also got an extra day's pay last week for the division playoff with Los Angeles, and could get another payday in next year's College All-Star game if they win in Miami. Jim Tunney: Alternate referee during the Ice Bowl, now 88 and living in Pebble Beach, Calif. Former Green Bay Packers players reflect on the Dec. 31, 1967 NFC Championship game - later dubbed the Ice Bowl because of frigid temperatures - 50 years after the team's victory against the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field. We splashed that against the windows, so at least we could see out. Although Green Bay won three consecutive NFL titles in 1929-30-31 before the league was divided inot conferences for playoffs, no other club has ever won three straight playoffs. We wouldn't have let them.". I was always checking the linebacker and I told Bart, ‘I’m out here and Chuck Howley is not watching me. It was completely empty. The ice man had cometh. What did the winner look like after temperature dipped to 20 below and wind chill to minus-46 degrees? Announcer Frank Gifford opened his commentary by saying, "I just took a bite out of my coffee.". A crisis of near-equal proportions visited the open-air TV booth where whiskey-laced coffee froze. I didn’t get a real good start off the ball but I recovered. The game devolved into a slippery, sloppy shoving match in the third quarter, with neither team doing much of anything offensively.
On Dec. 31, 1967, the Packers edged the Cowboys, 21-17, in a game for the ages. Both coaches would be enshrined, too. Green Bay had some great players. "Then she paused for the effect and said ... 'below zero.'". He made us play the game and it was terrible.”. If you watch Ski at left tackle, his feet slip out from under him and he goes flat on the ground. I just stared. However, the footing on the electrically heated turf apparently was good enough. It was a sunny, near-windless day and the temperature was a comfortable 25 degrees. Don Perkins was the top Cowboys, slashing through the line for 51 yards in 13 carries. I don’t know if Mel forgot to cover Boyd, but that was the first touchdown.”, Dowler: “The second touchdown, we were third down and about a foot. I knew we could handle them. He was 78. "The whole world loves a gambler, but not when he loses," said Coach Lombardi after his Packers had won an unprecedented third straight National Football League playoff title. In almost every window, I could see someone like me -- a Dallas football player staring outside, wondering what it would feel like when we finally went out there.". It’s subjective. Somehow, the players reached deep within themselves and found the strength and determination to move almost unerringly down the field. I don’t think I even looked at the weather report for Sunday.”, Reeves: “We actually worked up a sweat. He was 78. Our defensive backs shut down Bob Hayes that day, and Hayes was a big weapon.”, Reeves: “The field was such a factor that it was difficult to get anything done. The temperature was 15 below in Green Bay when the Packers and Cowboys played for a spot in the second Super Bowl. (The officials) went to Mass at St. Willebrord and then we went down to the Army-Navy store. He pioneered many of the scouting techniques used by NFL teams today. He was a sixth-round pick by Dallas in 1962. Kenny may have hit his elbow, but I can’t tell. Mbappe unveils PSG kit inspired by Michael Jordan's sneakers, Bowden back in hospital for virus-related testing, Report: Westbrook leaves $8K tip for hotel staff, Ex-U.S. boss Ellis urges for more women coaches, Ringside Seat: Navarrete goes for another title, Villa for his first; Elvis is back, Renault urges F1 to act in wake of Honda departure. He had no teeth, snot was coming out of his nose, there was blood and mud on his uniform.”, Robinson: “When the offense went on the field, some of us were yelling, ‘You guys have to do something.’ Subconsciously, we were thinking the offense isn’t going to get more than 10 yards. Robinson: “All the guys I talked to from Dallas said Donny definitely scored on the play. But now it's a great play," said Landry in rare critique of an opponent. He died Tuesday at his home in Woodway, Texas.
So it wasn’t the field.”, Kramer: “I don’t think it was the field.
