One of the few positives of this mess we are living in right now is the streaming of old football games. Last night, I was able to catch a big chunk of this game being played on Sling TV. What a game that was!

Also found it on Youtube for those that have a couple of hours to kill:

One of the great games in NFL playoff history. But, why do I come away always remembering Rackers missing like a 35 yard kick at the end of regulation? And he missed it wide left by about 15 yards:eek:. I’m not sure if I ever cussed out a Cardinal player more than I did that moment. My youngest son was under 10 & I remember him giggling under his breath hearing words that he shouldn’t have.

Everyone can watch any game from 2009 til last year on the NFL.Com app for Roku, FireTV, or Smart TV

I just watched this last week in all it's glory.

I just wish it went to 2008 so I could watch the NFC Championship game again. Being in the stands and at the lower level I am sure I missed stuff since I couldn't see with a lot of detail the south end zone

We were there and I thought rackers blew the game.

No doubt. When the Packers won the coin toss, I left the room still cussing at Rackers by name. Our D hadn't stopped the Packers O in like 2 hours. And, let's not forget that Rodgers overthrew a wide open WR, on a play that should have ended the game.

There are three things that I remember about that game that stand out from what was essentially one of the craziest displays of offense on both sides of the ball I have ever seen in person. Those were: (1) Rackers, (2) Los walk off on the strip sack, and (3) maybe the most overlooked play - Rodgers missing a wide open WR (cant remember who) who was wide open deep and would have likely won the game if they connected.

When we landed back in Madison wife and I were of course, all decked out in cards gear, and we were swarmed by people telling us about the face mask. I just said I was there and I didn't see a flag.

It's on Youtube. I assume you have one of a Roku, FireTv, or Smart Tv.

I probably didn't endear myself to the locals when I first moved here either. After I found out what Pecker fans are like I put that sticker in my avatar on my back car window and displayed it proudly for about 10 years. Wish I could find another one, cuz it would be all up on my truck right now.

The rule was grabbing the face mask and twisting it, which LOS did not do. Correct no call.

Ah, I remember the meant-nothing game the week before, where the Pack went all out to decimate us, even though it was already a lock we were playing them the next week. Rodgers kept doing that stupid championship belt celebration in a meaningless game. I did the same celebration and laughed at him when we won the REAL game lol

I think even mild mannered Kurt Warner was sick of it because he imitated it to the crowd behind the Cardinals bench after the game...that was funny to see.

We either rested Warner altogether, or at least for the better part of the game. That game was yet another bit of evidence that Leinart was a bust.

You can also add the forgotten Fitzgerald fumble, Cardinals leading 17-0 and on the GB 25 yard line. Packers drive and score 17-7 and we all know what happens after that.
No fumble, Cardinals go ahead 20-0 or 24-0 game over, team isn't exhausted and maybe they are more competitive against New Orleans.
Just a thought.
