Ah, the zebras help us again. More instructions from the NFL. 🙂 And Clifton is an ankle. That’s much better than a knee. ---

Heck of a catch, Jennings…wow. Not a bad throw either… ---

Don’t THROW those passes!!! Damn, it’s like Favre never left us!!! ---

Rodgers has gotten _really_ lucky a few times this drive. FTR: That catch by Jennings on the sideline was awesome, but the throw was a horseshoe falling out of Rodgers ass. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Rodgers has gotten _really_ lucky a few times this drive. Sure he’s no Jay Cutler. 🙂 He certainly got away with a really bad pass there. As DS Young said, I flashed back to the Favre days with a stupid pass at the end of the game. ---

Say the pack scores here, do they go for two? ETA: Nevermind, too much time left on the clock. I figured they’d kill a little clock before they scored. ---

> [@drm](#): > > Say the pack scores here, do they go for two? Well, here comes the choice. You take the tie IMO. The defense has to do something eventually. Plus there’s a chance of there being 2 more possessions. ---

\ This sucks. Two minutes for a field goal to win. Couldn’t they have milked just a LITTLE more time off the clock??? :eek: ---

Looks like the NFL version of the Holiday Bowl. This is great stuff! I was wondering about the highest scoring playoff game myself. [This site says the highest scoring total is 113, from a Washington-New York Giants game on November 27, 1966.](http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_highest_scoring_NFL_game_ever) Washington won that game 72-41. Joe Buck just said this is the second highest scoring postseason game, and of course it’s unlikely they’ll break the record, but they’re not done yet. ---

I guess Arizona takes a crack or two at the end zone and goes for a field goal if necessary. ---

Game Over. ETA: With the Doucet catch. ETA2: Too bad, would have loved to see the Pack lose in Overtime. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-wild-card-weekend/523904.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-wild-card-weekend/523904.md?page=10)
