WOW! It's terrible that there has to be a loser after a game like that. Aaron Rodgers led his team back from three touchdowns in the second half to tie the game at 38-38. The teams ended regulation tied 45-45 before going into overtime. I couldn't even post a comment for several days because trying to summarize that game would not have dealt it justice.
There's so much to talk about I don't even know where to start; probably with how bad you have to feel for Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers threw for 422 yards and 4 TDs, even Quarterback Bills would have been impressed with his game. The game started as eerily as it ended with two spectacular defensive plays divided by the mosts explosive shootout in NFL history. The first play of the game was a tipped pass (Dansby) resulting in an interception (Rodgers-Cromartie). But the play I will remember is the 1st of the overtime period when Rodgers missed an open Greg Jennings 40 yards downfield that would have ended it. Two plays later Michael Adams' spider man move on Rodgers resulted in a fumble before player of the game Karlos Dansby's recovery and game winning touchdown return.
Kurt Warner, the more this guy plays the more I think he's a Hall of Fame quarterback. I'm only echoing what most fans are saying now, but I used to hate this guy when he played for the Rams. Remember when he backed up Eli Manning, everyone thought he was dead.
It is not often a Quarterback throws 33 passes and completes more touchdown passes than incompletions. Get that game played jersey and body armor in the Hall of Fame now! I'm pretty sure if one day the NFL allowed players to wear jetpacks to spice up the game, they would all look like Kurt Warner. I can't tell if Warner looks like an extreme BMX racer or someone out of the Raider Nation.
Next week the Cardinals go to New Orleans for what should be another classic shootout. What I would like to know is how many Drew Brees fantasy owners are pulling for the Saints because of their 1st round Brees pick?
If this game is half as exciting as the Packers-Cardinals one was, we will be in for a treat!
