The 1999 season was the Green Bay Packers' 79th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 81st overall. It was the first and only season for head coach Ray Rhodes and the first time since 1992 Reggie White was not on the roster as he retired after the Packers loss to the 49ers in the playoffs. The Packers finished 8–8, posting their worst record since Brett Favre took over the helm as the Packers' starting quarterback, and also missing the playoffs for the first time since 1992.
