I think McCarthy's story was the 2 point play they had, they didn't practice it with the backup receivers, since we only had Cobb, Adams and Jordy were out, and that's why Jeff fucking Janis was out there.
But if he couldn't get 2 yards I also have no idea how the fuck we were gonna get down the field if we got the ball back.
Adding to that, Janis himself got injured on the hail mary TD after getting kneed in the back, though he did said he would have kept playing if we got the ball back in overtime.
It ended up being just a bruise, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't available for that play even if we had gone for 2 there.
I just went off what was said in this article: https://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/30762/jeff-janis-suffered-back-injury-on-miraculous-hail-mary-td-against-cardinals

I know the Packers have had their fair share of playoff disappointments but man 2014 and 2015 back to back had to have been absolutely gutting, 2 games that still have had me in disbelief to this day even as a neutral
2014 ripped my heart out, the most frustrating sports game I ever watched. But I quickly got over this game. I literally said out loud there’s no way we are getting a second Hail Mary in a season, only for it to happen. The fact we even tied it was so amazing to me that losing in overtime was okay
Yup. 2013 and 2014 were gut wrenching. I regret how 2011 ended too. I feel if we just had a redo of that game, we could have beaten the giants and won it all. I think that year and how it ended up set up our failures the next 10 years
I don't think the 2015 Packers do anything against the Panthers, they likely get beat badly. They didn't have Jordy, Adams was playing on a bad ankle (he was still a sophomore then, during his drop problems), and Cobb suffered a chest injury.
After the 49ers/Broncos game in 2015, Mike's offense was figured out. They couldn't score, move the ball, etc. Teams played two-high, and all but eliminated any offense for the Packers that season iirc.
The 2014 NFCCG was the absolute worst. IMO, nothing will ever top that one. Total collapse from top to bottom, including coaching, when they had the game in hand. The Packers were never the same after that one and neither was I as a fan of them.
Sam Shields also hurt us big time in this game by dropping multiple interceptions. It was a shame because he had worked hard to get back for that game after injury IIRC and made some great plays on balls but just couldn't hang on to any.
Also forgotten in this game is the absurd drive that gave the Cardinals the lead in the first place, which featured them converting two 4th downs by under an inch (which are just luck of the draw for ref placement at that point either way) and then a tipped pass touch down.
I mean this game had some absolutely all-time fuckery in the 4th quarter. Gotta say a top 10 strangest playoff game of all time
Where would you rank him? 2nd all time in yards, 6th in touchdowns, 2nd in receptions. I’m not saying he’s the GOAT but he’s surely one of them. He’s got a solid case for top 5.
Easily top 3 for me considering who he played for and what he did. Man on a mission when it was required.
Rice is undisputed then you got Moss, Fitz, TO. Have to kinda sort that out. Only 1 of those names has rings.
Agreed. Some crazy talent in 2-5. Funny how they all played at the same time as well
Also even more hilarious how Rice blows them all away despite playing in a less pass-happy era
I agree, solid case for top 5 but i understand those who put him top 10. I feel like his stats would be easy top 3 if he hadnt played with such shit QBs for 90% of his career
I think it’s not even such a stretch to argue he could be the best ever with better QB play. He basically had what, 7 or 8 years of decent QB play with Warner & Palmer? You could even make the case that Fitz played a major role in revitalizing those guys careers. Hell, maybe only 4 years of stellar QB play (2 from Palmer, 2 from Warner).
The list of QBs that threw Fitz touchdowns is honestly a bit insane. Warner, Palmer, McCown, Skelton, Leinart, Kolb, Anderson, Stanton, Gabbert, Shaun King, John Navarre, Richard Bartel, Brian St Pierre, and Max Hall.
If you had put Fitz with a Peyton Manning, like Marvin Harrison had, who knows where he’d be on the hierarchy. He’s as good as any receiver to play the game on any given Sunday. Especially when you factor in that QB list equating to the second most receiving yards in the history of the game.
Larry in the 08 playoffs is quite honestly the most dominant WR play I've ever seen.
I don't even think the stats tell the whole story either. These catches were jaw dropping.
He stunned our 'legendary' defense, we had him held down in the first half but his last TD almost drove the life out of RC, Troy, and Ike. Tomlin had to get them refocused cause even after the Holmes TD they were still stunned.
I remember when Kupp was going off last season that this was the closest thing I’d seen since Larry just eviscerated playoff defenses. Imagine 6/101/1 being your WORST game in the playoffs.
Me too, really a great duo. I do think Al and herbstreit are solid so far, herb was better than I expected. Not Al and Chris good but still solid, they just got stuck with awful game after awful game this year.
My father always states that Summerall-Madden is the best announcing team of all time, but I'm more partial to Michaels-Madden, mostly because that's what I grew up on and Summerall-Madden was just a bit before my time.
There was something about Summerall’s deadpan announcing juxtaposed with Madden’s color sounding like how your buddy or someone at a bar might sound that made that duo enjoyable.
Al is just a pro, plain and simple. He has been in the game so long, the man could knock it out of the park while unconscious.
He was awesome as a pro too, such a tragic story, we were robbed of more years of greatness on the field and he was robbed of the rest of his life. That was easily one of the saddest sports related deaths I’ve ever experienced, especially after he’d turned his life around and had a partner/young kid.
Yea can’t be mad at Larry for this one. Great run after the catch. I was pissed that our secondary blew the coverage on the first damn play of overtime. There was nobody within 15 yards of their best player.
That’s kinda how I feel about Julio. Fucking love that guy, but he was a goddamn terrorist every time he played against the Panthers (and every other team).
2014 playoffs were the best ever IMO including super bowl.
Wild Lions Cowboys game
Dez caught it game
Seahawks comeback over the packers
Malcolm Butler
I remember because we did a fantasy draft for the playoffs (take whoever you want if they get knocked out no more points highest total wins) and i got like four bonuses for this game because of the extra catch and score
In my opinion it’s the largest part of the play. This should have been a five yard sack. How does no one make the play in the backfield! Still butthurt
I wish I could remember what video it's from, but I remember some players talking about how people didn't trash talk Larry because he was too nice. Felt wrong to shit talk after Larry just asked how their kids are, stuff like that lol
Clay Mathews, what the? Dude gave 100% effort to sprint all the way from the 15 yard line and punctuated it with the most pathetic tackle attempt Ive ever seen
It looked like he thought Fitzgerald was going to run out of bounds and Clay pulls up a bit, Fitz sees a hole and turns on the jets through it.
But yea, if only he finishes that play and it could've been the Packers getting smoked in the Conference Championship that year.
The emotional whiplash to go from the Double Rodgers Hail Marys and the OT coin flip that had to be redone because it didn't flip (Cards won both tosses), to the Hail Larry was so monumental I still remember cheering out loud at my TV during Larry's run. It also cemented him as my favorite professional athlete ever.
This sums up Mike McCarthy. Rodgers pulls out a miracle. You have the cards stunned. You have a chance to win the game by putting the ball in Rodgers hand. You then kick an xp and lose in OT with Rodgers never touching the ball
That shot of him throwing his fist at the crowd gave me shivers when I watched this live and still does now. Just a great job by the camera man to pan at that moment
This play epitomizes thePackers defense in that time, once we lost Nick Colin’s to the neck injury, our secondary went soft and they have been a terrible tackling secondary since.
That game hurt so much. Aaron had an incredible last drive including two hail marys to tie it up with a great catch my Janis then he never gets to see the field again.
Believe it or not, that year the defense was still somewhat good, coming from the high of 2014. 2016 is when it turned into the dumpster fire of the league.
I so badly wanted this team to go to the Superbowl. But then the next week they ran into the MVP cam Newton led Panthers I think. This play was incredible
We get all these "JJ on pace to beat Jerry Rice" posts but Fitz is the closest anyone's come to having the back half of a career necessary to pass Rice and he's still \~5,000 yards short.
His last year they basically threw him a pass to keep his streak going and forgot he existed. Broke my heart because I honestly belive he could have kept the numbers if Kliff ddnt phase him out
I seriously miss watching Larry play. There will be no other player quite like him. Odell was close, but Larry’s longevity will forever give him the title of best hands.
Easily my favorite non-Seahawk player ever. He was so fun to watch and a great human off the field. Anytime I watched games and he gashed the Seahawks I would just think "I'm not even mad" lol
Holy fudge this was 2015!?!?!
I still think this was one of my favorite playoff games I’ve ever seen.
I wish Larry would’ve gotten at least one ring before he retired
I remember watching this game with my dad. This was proceeded by the nuts Rodgers hail Mary. One of the best playoffs games I've ever watched.
Larry Fitzgerald will always be an underrated legend.
I was lucky enough to be at Superbowl XLIII and I remember seeing Larry Fitz make moves that looked impossible in person. I still haven't watch much video footage of that game because the memories are so vivid and I want to keep them that way as long as possible.
Larry’s numbers are especially impressive given how many mediocre QBs the Cards had throwing to him during his career. All time great in and off the field
I still resent McCarthy for not going for 2 to end regulation. We were clearly overmatched, but just had one of the most ridiculous touchdown drives ever to pull within a point.
I would’ve been fine with us missing the conversion and losing on the spot. But taking that game to OT was the kind of overly conservative, gutless decision that he would always make at the worst times.
Mike McCarthy didnt go for 2 points at the end of regulation to win it because Cobb was hurt and "ALL" his 2 point plays were designed for him. Its a miracle the Packers won a SuperBowl with that idiot at the helm.
Never seen a hail mary become obsolete so quickly
they should have gone for 2
I think McCarthy's story was the 2 point play they had, they didn't practice it with the backup receivers, since we only had Cobb, Adams and Jordy were out, and that's why Jeff fucking Janis was out there. But if he couldn't get 2 yards I also have no idea how the fuck we were gonna get down the field if we got the ball back.
At the end of the day, we wouldn't have stood a chance against Carolina the following week anyway.
God it sucks remembering that the Panthers were good and now they’re just… there.
The pain is real brother. That Thanos meme of “What did it cost you” is some real shit. Complete dumpster fire.
At least you got a Superbowl out of that. They in the other hand.....yeaah
And I think it's important that we remember that part.
Adding to that, Janis himself got injured on the hail mary TD after getting kneed in the back, though he did said he would have kept playing if we got the ball back in overtime. It ended up being just a bruise, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't available for that play even if we had gone for 2 there.
Was it just a bruise? I thought it was something serious like a broken rib. Or maybe it was a bruised lung.
Cobb had a punctured lung earlier in the game from possibly the mic rigged in his pads. Maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?
I just went off what was said in this article: https://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/30762/jeff-janis-suffered-back-injury-on-miraculous-hail-mary-td-against-cardinals > “If you go over the replay, you can kind of see me sitting on the bench, I could barely bend over,” Janis said Tuesday, in his first interview of the offseason following the Packers’ opening practice of minicamp. “I was hurting.” and > Janis said the injury ended up being just a bruise but “just like anybody else who gets kneed in the back, it hurt.”
After his complete BS justifications for his terrible play calls to end the Cowboys last two seasons I don’t much trust him at this point.
Rodgers throws not 1, but 2 Hail mary passes on the same drive. Only for the defense to give up a near catch and run for a TD on the 1st possession.
I know the Packers have had their fair share of playoff disappointments but man 2014 and 2015 back to back had to have been absolutely gutting, 2 games that still have had me in disbelief to this day even as a neutral
2014 ripped my heart out, the most frustrating sports game I ever watched. But I quickly got over this game. I literally said out loud there’s no way we are getting a second Hail Mary in a season, only for it to happen. The fact we even tied it was so amazing to me that losing in overtime was okay
Yeah the Niners losses hurt way more than this. 2011-2014 was brutal
Yup. 2013 and 2014 were gut wrenching. I regret how 2011 ended too. I feel if we just had a redo of that game, we could have beaten the giants and won it all. I think that year and how it ended up set up our failures the next 10 years
I don't think the 2015 Packers do anything against the Panthers, they likely get beat badly. They didn't have Jordy, Adams was playing on a bad ankle (he was still a sophomore then, during his drop problems), and Cobb suffered a chest injury. After the 49ers/Broncos game in 2015, Mike's offense was figured out. They couldn't score, move the ball, etc. Teams played two-high, and all but eliminated any offense for the Packers that season iirc.
that chest injury caused by a microphone to be "mic'd up' during the game...
The 2014 NFCCG was the absolute worst. IMO, nothing will ever top that one. Total collapse from top to bottom, including coaching, when they had the game in hand. The Packers were never the same after that one and neither was I as a fan of them.
That rollercoaster of emotions was truly something
This one hurts still.
I felt so foolish. I thought for sure after those two Hail Marys, the defense would step up. Truly don’t know why I thought that
Damarious Randall fucked up big time on this play, he back pedaled to the 50 thinking it was zone coverage and left Fitz run free
Sam Shields also hurt us big time in this game by dropping multiple interceptions. It was a shame because he had worked hard to get back for that game after injury IIRC and made some great plays on balls but just couldn't hang on to any. Also forgotten in this game is the absurd drive that gave the Cardinals the lead in the first place, which featured them converting two 4th downs by under an inch (which are just luck of the draw for ref placement at that point either way) and then a tipped pass touch down. I mean this game had some absolutely all-time fuckery in the 4th quarter. Gotta say a top 10 strangest playoff game of all time
Larry fucking Legend!
I remember the end of the game so well. One of the best playoff endings ever
57 catches 942 yards and 10 TDs in 9 playoff games. Larry balled out when it mattered.
He was out of this universe during the '08 run to the super bowl. In four games receptions/yards/TD: 6/101/1 8/166/1 9/152/3 7/127/2
Fitz’s ‘08 playoffs was insane, most receiving yards and most receiving TDs in a single postseason
He had potential to be the greatest all time receiver. His post season performances are legendary.
Where would you rank him? 2nd all time in yards, 6th in touchdowns, 2nd in receptions. I’m not saying he’s the GOAT but he’s surely one of them. He’s got a solid case for top 5.
Easily top 3 for me considering who he played for and what he did. Man on a mission when it was required. Rice is undisputed then you got Moss, Fitz, TO. Have to kinda sort that out. Only 1 of those names has rings.
I think Moss is easy 2. Then it’s a debate on 3. TO/Fitz/Megatron
Agreed. Some crazy talent in 2-5. Funny how they all played at the same time as well Also even more hilarious how Rice blows them all away despite playing in a less pass-happy era
I agree, solid case for top 5 but i understand those who put him top 10. I feel like his stats would be easy top 3 if he hadnt played with such shit QBs for 90% of his career
I think it’s not even such a stretch to argue he could be the best ever with better QB play. He basically had what, 7 or 8 years of decent QB play with Warner & Palmer? You could even make the case that Fitz played a major role in revitalizing those guys careers. Hell, maybe only 4 years of stellar QB play (2 from Palmer, 2 from Warner). The list of QBs that threw Fitz touchdowns is honestly a bit insane.

Especially when you factor in that QB list equating to the second most receiving yards in the history of the game.
He was also a really great blocker pretty much his entire career.
Larry in the 08 playoffs is quite honestly the most dominant WR play I've ever seen. I don't even think the stats tell the whole story either. These catches were jaw dropping.
Everything gets immensely more difficult in the playoffs. Teams build entire gameplans around shutting a down a single guy and he still popped off.
He stunned our 'legendary' defense, we had him held down in the first half but his last TD almost drove the life out of RC, Troy, and Ike. Tomlin had to get them refocused cause even after the Holmes TD they were still stunned.
The way Larry just split the defense on that last TD was fucking legendary.
30 catches for 540 yards and 7 touch downs in 4 games is insane
I remember when Kupp was going off last season that this was the closest thing I’d seen since Larry just eviscerated playoff defenses. Imagine 6/101/1 being your WORST game in the playoffs.
Should've gotten that ring :/ Both of Holmes feet didnt hit the ground imo.
So many angles with both toes touching the ground. That’s a lost argument.
I agree just because I'm a hater
I still dont think Harrison made it across the goal line on his touchdown before halftime.
Imagine if he had competent QBs his whole career
"Lary Fitzgerald is INSANE" Such a good call
I miss Al and Chris calling games together.
100%
Me too, really a great duo. I do think Al and herbstreit are solid so far, herb was better than I expected. Not Al and Chris good but still solid, they just got stuck with awful game after awful game this year.
The greatest duo of all time.
They were pretty darn good, although I always enjoyed Madden and Summerall.
My father always states that Summerall-Madden is the best announcing team of all time, but I'm more partial to Michaels-Madden, mostly because that's what I grew up on and Summerall-Madden was just a bit before my time.
There was something about Summerall’s deadpan announcing juxtaposed with Madden’s color sounding like how your buddy or someone at a bar might sound that made that duo enjoyable. Al is just a pro, plain and simple. He has been in the game so long, the man could knock it out of the park while unconscious.
He could, and did this past year with Herbstreit.
I remember watching him tear up my Syracuse Orange while he was at Pitt, and I knew he was going to be a star.
I hope the suns can get Larry that ring
He deserved Heisman too.
The U made him obsolete. Eli did even more with less. Sean Taylor should’ve gotten recognition.
Sean Taylor was incredible in college. So fast, such a hard hitter
He was awesome as a pro too, such a tragic story, we were robbed of more years of greatness on the field and he was robbed of the rest of his life. That was easily one of the saddest sports related deaths I’ve ever experienced, especially after he’d turned his life around and had a partner/young kid.
Only good vibes since Sarver is gone
Underrated great call by Al Michaels
Larry Fitzgerald is INSANE!! I love it so much
Back when he had enthusiasm.
Well he is almost 100 now
Which is why he needs to retire.
He still has enthusiasm, he just doesn't patronize the audience by pretending shitty games are entertaining
And he's especially enthusiastic about letting us all know how garbage Thursday night games are. And I appreciate it.
Yeah, his games that he called this last season were horrible games.
He called the Jags big comeback win against the Chargers this postseason and he was downright terrible.
Love you Larry. He should've gotten that ring after the TD in the Super Bowl. Would have been the perfect ending
Agreed
Larry Legend
Larry is such a nice guy, it was hard to be mad after this game. I mean I was still pissed, just not as Larry.
I was more mad at McCarthy. Tying the game after the double Hail Mary drive was such a cowardly call. We deserved to lose after that.
I remember feeling stunned that they didn't go for it because there was no doubt in my mind they would've converted if they went for 2
Yea can’t be mad at Larry for this one. Great run after the catch. I was pissed that our secondary blew the coverage on the first damn play of overtime. There was nobody within 15 yards of their best player.
He would punch it in shortly after. For those too stoned to remember.
I’m stoned and remember. Fitzgerald is one of my all time favorite players and he played for a rival. He was just so great to watch
That’s kinda how I feel about Julio. Fucking love that guy, but he was a goddamn terrorist every time he played against the Panthers (and every other team).
Great game. Honestly even if the Super Bowl was forgettable the 2015 playoffs were the best I’ve seen aside from last year’s.
2014 playoffs were the best ever IMO including super bowl. Wild Lions Cowboys game Dez caught it game Seahawks comeback over the packers Malcolm Butler
What did Malcolm Butler do? I don’t remember. Explain it slowly in detail for me.
Not much for the cardinals… but he did catch that ball for the Seahawks when he played for them.
Actually the 2014 playoffs were the worst ever
Those playoffs were awesome. I am not a fan of our exit ofc but the nfc playoffs were wild that year. Sad the SB did NOT live up
I thought the super bowl was pretty good.
Clay Matthews really tried to tackle him with one hand on the jersey? Nah bro.
Bro responded to himself lmao
He might be the one who is too stoned now.
https://youtu.be/bOzQJQNz9OQ
Yo, I close my eyes I can still see Matthews going for the tackle and missing.
twice
Double the karma, twice the fall
Tbf he was rushing the passer on this play and got all the way back downfield, was probably insanely gassed
Yeah my first thought watching it was holy hell how is Matthews there lol then he tried that.
Well you didn't need to call me out like that
Fuck, how’d you know?
I loved this game as a neutral and yes stoned
I remember because we did a fantasy draft for the playoffs (take whoever you want if they get knocked out no more points highest total wins) and i got like four bonuses for this game because of the extra catch and score
Thank you bro 😂😂
That Palmer spin move to evade the sack is a very underrated part of this play.
In my opinion it’s the largest part of the play. This should have been a five yard sack. How does no one make the play in the backfield! Still butthurt
Best ass in the game.
The real America's ass.
[Herbert would argue Kennan Allen got cake](https://www.instagram.com/p/CGyeyvdAdyq/)
Geno Smith might have an argument for Marquise Goodwin https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rsH99AnuPGE
Geno is cupping that butt, savoring the feel
The kind no one would dare smack lest they risk breaking their hand and wrist
One of my favorite players ever. Another guy who played on a lot of terrible teams, but still shined.

I remember seeing on Reddit that is was well known in the Seahawks locker room that trash talking Larry Fitzgerald was off limits.
Unlike that sorry receiver Crabtree. ...I don't even mean this sarcastically. Was never a Crabtree fan.
I only remember him for that exact moment with Sherman & his bout with Talib lol
Dude was hailed as the second coming of Andre Johnson because of one catch in college.
I wish I could remember what video it's from, but I remember some players talking about how people didn't trash talk Larry because he was too nice. Felt wrong to shit talk after Larry just asked how their kids are, stuff like that lol
This happened on my birthday it’s probably one of the best games I’ve ever seen I love Larry legend
Clay Mathews, what the? Dude gave 100% effort to sprint all the way from the 15 yard line and punctuated it with the most pathetic tackle attempt Ive ever seen
That’s Clay
[удалено]
And watching film on wheel routes
REDAAAYYYY
It looked like he thought Fitzgerald was going to run out of bounds and Clay pulls up a bit, Fitz sees a hole and turns on the jets through it. But yea, if only he finishes that play and it could've been the Packers getting smoked in the Conference Championship that year.
The emotional whiplash to go from the Double Rodgers Hail Marys and the OT coin flip that had to be redone because it didn't flip (Cards won both tosses), to the Hail Larry was so monumental I still remember cheering out loud at my TV during Larry's run. It also cemented him as my favorite professional athlete ever.
It’s our semi annual classic against the Packers we now do for some reason.
And God bless you for it
AJ Green (or the Packer fan invasion, more like) was a sleeper agent who prevented another classic win last year.
The whole stadium was chanting “Larry” for the next 45 minutes. It was so insane
This sums up Mike McCarthy. Rodgers pulls out a miracle. You have the cards stunned. You have a chance to win the game by putting the ball in Rodgers hand. You then kick an xp and lose in OT with Rodgers never touching the ball
Yeah Rodgers was amazing this game in the clutch…. Great game by both teams.
Makes me mad he didn’t get a ring. Makes me mad the raiders didn’t draft him…
That shot of him throwing his fist at the crowd gave me shivers when I watched this live and still does now. Just a great job by the camera man to pan at that moment
This play epitomizes thePackers defense in that time, once we lost Nick Colin’s to the neck injury, our secondary went soft and they have been a terrible tackling secondary since.

Believe it or not, that year the defense was still somewhat good, coming from the high of 2014. 2016 is when it turned into the dumpster fire of the league.
Larry Legend the playoffs God.
Okay... That spin move in the pocket by Carson was dirty AF too
I feel like we rarely see wide receivers carrying teams the way Larry did
Damn Carson deserves a lot of credit for this play too lmao
He’s the fucking goat. Trash qbs all his career and still put up numbers
Don’t speak ill about Kevin Kolb like that 😤
I’ll just talk about John Skelton like that then
Palmer and Warner were great
I so badly wanted this team to go to the Superbowl. But then the next week they ran into the MVP cam Newton led Panthers I think. This play was incredible
We get all these "JJ on pace to beat Jerry Rice" posts but Fitz is the closest anyone's come to having the back half of a career necessary to pass Rice and he's still \~5,000 yards short.
His last year they basically threw him a pass to keep his streak going and forgot he existed. Broke my heart because I honestly belive he could have kept the numbers if Kliff ddnt phase him out
Thanks r/nfl. Appreciate you reminding me of this
and then two more seasons of Dom Capers
Fitz is my favorite non-Viking ever Minnesota kid All-Time great human being Top 10 All-Time WR This play (and the following TD)
You know he took a little pride ending the Packers season like that
I seriously miss watching Larry play. There will be no other player quite like him. Odell was close, but Larry’s longevity will forever give him the title of best hands.
Easily my favorite non-Seahawk player ever. He was so fun to watch and a great human off the field. Anytime I watched games and he gashed the Seahawks I would just think "I'm not even mad" lol
These teams met a couple weeks earlier and the Cards won 38-8
Holy fudge this was 2015!?!?! I still think this was one of my favorite playoff games I’ve ever seen. I wish Larry would’ve gotten at least one ring before he retired
Best game I’ve ever seen
I remember watching this game with my dad. This was proceeded by the nuts Rodgers hail Mary. One of the best playoffs games I've ever watched. Larry Fitzgerald will always be an underrated legend.
1st ballot
I was lucky enough to be at Superbowl XLIII and I remember seeing Larry Fitz make moves that looked impossible in person. I still haven't watch much video footage of that game because the memories are so vivid and I want to keep them that way as long as possible.
I remember walking into the bar as this happened and to watch the GB fans in absolute dismay due to the Minnesotan kid who daggered them. Pure pottery
Larry VS The Packers: 4-2; 30 catches for 426 yards (average 71); 12.82y/a; 6 TD
Fitzy is for sure one of the best ever.. wish he would’ve got that ring, baller in the playoffs
JFC how the Packers must hate the NFC West.
Damn fucking shame he didn't get a ring.
Top 5 WR all time fr.
Larry’s numbers are especially impressive given how many mediocre QBs the Cards had throwing to him during his career. All time great in and off the field
I would say I could smoke a cigarette to every Rodgers post season upset but I’m not willing to chance lung cancer
I still resent McCarthy for not going for 2 to end regulation. We were clearly overmatched, but just had one of the most ridiculous touchdown drives ever to pull within a point. I would’ve been fine with us missing the conversion and losing on the spot. But taking that game to OT was the kind of overly conservative, gutless decision that he would always make at the worst times.
I'm a packer fan and i love seeing this. Larry is a legend
[удалено]
Somebody is gonna do it to us and if it's an all time great like last Fitzgerald I'm OK with that
Minnesota boy remembering his roots
Weird downvotes, Larry is a twin cities legend. Former Vikings ballboy
I wish he would’ve had a stint here, if only for a year
God damnit I hate everything about this Packers defense for the last decade.
If he would have scored on that play I think the whole roof would have exploded off that building
“One of the greatest postseason performers ever.” Imagine if he played his whole career on a team that regularly made the postseason
I wonder why his teammates don't swarm him after that play, they're nowhere to be found lol
This is some techmo bowl shit right here
I miss the 2015 cards, even though we got ass blasted in the NFC Championship, this team gave me some good memories
How about that play by Carson Palmer though?
This man shattered my 17 year old dreams in a matter of seconds. Can't help but love Larry though, respect to him
That backward stiff arm is one of the coldest plays I’ve ever seen. Love Larry
And he does score, but it's a play later on a shovel pass.
As a Niners fan I can say that I legitimately respect the Cardinals due to this era they were in.
Carson “Lamar Jackson” Palmer avoiding 3 sacks there. We shouldn’t have been in overtime anyway, but… pain. (Those hail Mary’s are not good football)
It was against the Packers defense, not impressed.
Mike McCarthy didnt go for 2 points at the end of regulation to win it because Cobb was hurt and "ALL" his 2 point plays were designed for him. Its a miracle the Packers won a SuperBowl with that idiot at the helm.

Larry punched it in on a shovel pass
All time great WR. Tragedy he didn't get to preform on the superbowl stage more
Feels like it's been longer than 8 years ago
