This is all pretty much moot, but if Rodgers hadn’t kicked the ball back into the air on that play, it would’ve hit the ground and ended the play. That little extra touch kept the ball live and recoverable.
Sometimes, crap just happens.
All I can say is no matter which team won that one, the defenses need some heavy duty re-tooling.
Packers will need to shore up their secondary. Granted Al Harris and Atari Bigby were out, but there were still gaping holes all over the place.
Packers are a young team on the rise. I look for them to make some noise next year. (BTW... Love your name!)
The last touchdown that AZ scored had two penalties that were not called. Instead crying Kurt Warner had lobbied the refs because he was getting roughed up. The result was that a roughing the passer was called against Green Bay AND there was no call on the offensive pass interference. The roughing the passer call was pure crap since Warner was throwing the ball when he got hit. The offensive pass interference was not called in the end zone. Not that it mattered though since both teams could’nt stop anything the offenses were doing.
In a game like this, any little thing can change the outcome of the game.
What a riot that game was. Pure joy to watch.
What about the non call on the same play the Pack was called for holding. The defensive player led with his helmet into Rodgers’ face and there was no call.
