That was an insane game. Guess I have to root for a Saints - Chargers superbowl now.

[SpongeWorthy]

We want the ball and we're gonna win!

[Careless]

Glad to see all the Cardinals fans who became fans last year are enjoying this.

It's ridiculous, one of my aunts lives down there and now we've lived through the Diamondbacks bandwagon jumping and the Cardinals bandwagon. She actually bought a jersey this year, and harasses me on facebook

That was a face-mask on Rodgers. Should be first down Packers.

 

that's a tough call because it was after he threw the pass, can i get a ruling?

 

Still would be a first down Packers.

I thought it would be 15 yards on the kickoff, which would never happen.

[sneakypower]

Rodgers is going to be seeing the overthrow of Jennings haunting his dreams all offseason

Wouldn't that be if the foul occurred after the play, like excessive celebration? The question would be if they ruled the foul to have been before the interception or during the return. If it's before, it's first down Packers. If it's during, then it's Cardinals ball on the 30 or 35.

That makes more sense. Turnover stands but 15 yards from the spot of the foul?

I can't wait for New Orleans and Arizona to challenge all of the offensive records next week that were set in this game.

That would be my best guess.

[Outshined_One]

I'm convinced both teams would score triple digits if the NFL had college OT rules.

[NonProfitCow]

That would be my best guess.

Yeah, after thinking about it seems similar to a block in the back or holding during an interception return.

[UMFan83]

I can't wait for New Orleans and Arizona to challenge all of the offensive records next week that were set in this game.

 

I can't wait til the final score is 13-7 after everyone hypes up a shootout all week.

That was disgusting. Three of our last four playoff losses have been some of the most demoralizing losses imaginable.

 

Rodgers was absolutely awesome after the first quarter and it just figures that he misses a wide open Jennings to start OT.

Aren't all playoff losses amongst the most demoralizing losses you could imagine? Give me an example of a playoff game that wouldn't fall into this category. Would you have rather the Packers not made a comeback? Not picking on you, just wondering, because I always think like that, and if asked that I would say like a 27-17 loss would be better because we'd just be beaten by a better team but at least were in the game and not blown out. But in reality, I'd be picking those moments of close calls that didn't go our way, which happen in every game to make me demoralized beyond belief about what could have been.

And fumbles to end the game.

 

That game was a kick in the nuts. I ruled the Packers out, kept the game on but started doing stuff around my house, then got back into it as the Packers got closer. I was screaming like a maniac when Arizona missed the FG late in regulation.

 

That game was a kick in the nuts. I'm not supposed to feel this way in winter. This is a "Cubs" kind of feeling.

 

The worst part about it is that the Packers should have won. They spotted Arizona 14 right off the bat, then gave them the game in OT. Without that, we would have won even though we couldn't have stopped Warner with the 3rd Marine Division.

[UMFan83]

Oh and speaking of demoralizing, how crappy must Bill Simmons weekend have been?

 

Game 1: Jets (+2.5) vs. Bengals

Simmons predicts: Bengals 20, Jets 6 (Bengals cover)

Actual result: Jets 24, Bengals 14 (Jets cover)

Difference in scores: 24 points

 

Game 2: Eagles (+4.0) vs. Cowboys

Simmons predicts: Cowboys 33, Eagles 31 (Eagles cover)

Actual result: Cowboys 34, Eagles 14 (Cowboys cover)

Difference in scores: 18 points

 

Game 3: Ravens (+3.0) vs. Patriots

Simmons predicts: Patriots 24, Ravens 16 (Patriots cover)

Actual result: Ravens 33, Patriots 14 (Ravens cover)

Difference in scores: 27 points

 

Game 4: Packers (PK) vs. Cardinals (this was the line he gave...I believe it moved up before game)

Simmons predicts: Packers 31, Cardinals 23 (Packers cover)

Actual result: Cardinals 51, Packers 45 (Cardinals cover)

Difference in scores: 14 points

 

0-4 against the spread

1-3 outright

85 points off in his predictions

 

Hopefully he doesn't bet what he puts in his columns.

[Soul]

Not totally sure, but I'm thinking that game was a kick in the nuts.

losing on a fumble in ot after you just missed a wide open reciever for a td that would have ended the game (and after you came back from 21 down in the second half) is a bit different than losing like the eagles or patriots did this weekend, yea.

True. I missed the play where he missed the receiver, I had to run an errand the last 5 minutes of the 4th and only heard the rest on the radio. Maybe if I saw how close it was I could understand better.

he was wide open and all alone. all he had to do was hit him and it's game over. he overthrew him by about 5 feet

That's rough. It happens all the time in football, but with the way Rodgers was playing it's hard to see him miss that throw.

[rocket]

i've decided to root for the saints in the playoffs.

 

(sorry omc for the jinx)

[XZero771679666304]

That was a crazy game.

 

Like everyone else, I chalked it up as a GB win when they won the toss. But you can't be too mad if your a Packers fan, because Rackers is a solid kicker, and if you give him that chippy another 20 times, he probably doesn't miss one of them. You can say Rodgers should have hit Jennings and won the game in OT, but there shouldn't have been an OT. It was just a crazy ass game and the Cards were the last team standing.

 

And not to discredit Rodgers at all, but I have never seen receivers as open all game as the Packers' receivers were. That was some of the worst secondary play I have ever seen. The Pack couldn't defend the middle, but Arizona couldn't defend anything.

 

I'm rooting for Arizona, mostly because they were such a joke for so long. I wouldn't mind seeing the Saints in the SB, either. As long as it isn't the Vikes.

 

Unless something changes, we may see a new playoffs points scored record in the ARI/NO game.
