He found some of his lost speed on that 75 yarder to open OT.This game was insane. Justice that Fitzgerald wins it. I'm rooting for Arizona or Carolina. Best case scenario for me is Arizona/Carolina vs. Denver in the Super Bowl.
Arizona is a retirement haven....like Florida and So Cal actually, you always end up with a lot of fans from all over. No idea why a Bengals for (or whatever) would go to a playoff game not involving their team....and wear their teams gear.Games like this show why we love teams and the players who go all out. Honestly who cared about those teams' OCs or owners? So despite all this relocation bullcrap, just follow and cheer the TEAM and not worry about ownership and other crap you can't control.
I want any combination of Arizona, Pittsburgh, Carolina, or Denver in the SB. Preferably Pittsburgh/Carolina. freak the shitchickens and I'm only going Patriots if they play said shitchickens.
Also,t hat Arizona stadium is a real home field advantage. Hope the Rams can do that in Stan-Land. But why the hell are their always fans wearing random teams' shirts? Throughout the game I caught people wearing Bengals hoodies, Steeler shirts, and 2 Viking fans decked out.

Its right up there with the Packers Arizona game when Warner had one of the greatest playoff passing days in history.One of the best games I have ever seen.

Larry Fitzgerald is pure class and passion. My favorite player that's not a Ram. Plus, he has a last name that is typically reserved for beasts :shades:
Me too. I think he's a big reason why I respect the Cardinals.
I can't stand Arians but Fitzgerald deserves a Super Bowl for all the work he has put in for that team, IMO. Much respect.
Some crazy stats from the game:
Cards:
-1st team in nfl history to win two postseason games by scoring a TD in OT.
-Fitzgerald only WR with three postseason games with 150+ yards.
Packers:
-All NFL Teams 0-10 on 4th and 20+ this season before this game. Rodgers did it from the 5 yard line.
-Aaron Rodgers had two completions of 40+ air yards on final drive, had three all season entering the game.
-Aaron Rodgers in OT games - 0-7, 3 in playoffs, which ties Favre and P.Manning.
-Jeff Janis before this game in 2 years - 4 catches, 95 yards, 0 td's. On final drive of game - 101 yards(145 total) and a td(two total).
I did not know that. thats crazy and a better accomplishment IMO, but Fitz aint done yet, he could still get four games of 150+.Crazy that Jerry Rice was only 3 total yards away from four.(had 2 of 150+ and 2 games where he ended with 148 and 149 yards)

Still cant comprehend how Fitzgerald, of all people, was left alone there.
Palmer was never going to run, just cant fathom the quitting on that play.
All in all, an amazing game and what a crazy encore to the 2009 Wild Card game
