The fact that Warner had more TOUCHDOWNS than incomplete passes tells you just what kind of zone he was in. When he was on top of his game no one was better. Miss you Kurt, thanks for all the memories!
you dont know ball whatsoever. kurt warner could hold rodgers strap. even kurt would admit that xD don't let ur personal feelings get in the way of logic and objectivity.@@catfishman1768
They always have great games. I moved from TX to AZ and my aunt from WI took me to my first cardinals game at sun devil stadium. McCown upset Favre and i loved it. Was a fan ever since. And every mathcup ever since hasn't failed to entertain
This game would mark -The final playoff win for Ken Whisenhunt as an NFL head coach -The final playoff win for Kurt Warner -The first playoff game for Aaron Rodgers as a starting QB
That Green Bay defense, despite being ranked very high, had games where they didn't show up at all. This game, Pittsburgh, both times against Minnesota, Cincinnati, Tampa.
My wife and I were at that game. We were surrounded by Packer fans who were starting to get a little too obnoxious when the Packers started coming back. That last play was hard to see even though it was right below our seats, most exciting game I have ever seen in person.
The Saints beat the snot out of The Cards who obviously just beat the Packers, then beat perhaps the best team ever to not make the Super Bowl ‘09 Vikings then beat Manning and the Colts by 14 in the Super Bowl. The ‘09 Saints were one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Assuming the Pack would beat the Saints is laughable.
I vividly remember the end zone celebration after they won in OT , they had a giant D lineman on all 4s and dansby started riding him like a bull and the other players were smacking the dude on the butt it was gold & I can’t ever find it
Very true, i also liked the 2015 matchup between these 2 teams when rodgers threw back to back hail marrys, that game got me hooked on football and i have been ever since
Ted Thompson was a good GM but I'm sorry, and I hate saying this, but this moron never wavered from his "Always Draft The Best Player Available At The Time Regardless Of Our Biggest Needs, Oh And Never Sign A Free Agent No Matter How Great Of An Impact He Will Have On The Team. I Mean, Hey, Rodgers Is 'Timeless' So We Will Just Take Our Drafted And In Rare Occasions, Undrafted Rookies, Mold And Shape Them For The Unseeable Future, Then Just Pray They Pan Out" And because of this ridiculous, outdated and often ridiculed philosophy, he has ultimately cost Aaron Rodgers MULTIPLE trips to the SUPER BOWL by taking those prime years and completely flushing them down the toilet. All of this because Ted was incapable of using common-sense to locate and address the "Achilles' Heel" which, of course, was a defense that was unable to keep up with a Once-In-A-Generation Quarterback who was playing unbelievably Out-Of-His-Mind. I honestly did not think that it was at all possible to watch someone of Rodgers' caliber out there and not, at the very least, think to yourself, "Hmm, this guy is pretty good, maybe I should get him some help." I mean C'MON MAN, when you have possibly one of, if not the BEST, MOST ACCURATE and CLUTCH QB of ALL TIME on your side, you should have been doing whatever, and I mean WHATEVER it took to get AARON RODGERS as many Notches AKA Rings as possible in that Discount Double-Check Belt.
The Chiefs/Bills was constantly a close, well-played game with an utterly insane ending. Having four lead changes/ties within the last two minutes is just unmatched. The feeling of "we won/lost" then "we won/lost" then "we won/lost" then "we won/lost" is what makes the Chiefs/Bills the greatest. That roller coaster ride was something we'll probably never see again, especially on that stage.
As a Packers fan we should’ve won that game but this game is always a classic. The Cardinals always have my respect cuz of Larry Fitzgerald such a class act
I remember laying down in bed watching this game and just seeing cardinals dominate green bay and then green bay just comes back with momentum and holy are their some amazing plays in this game, my favorite is the greg jennings catch towards the sideline in the endzone, he turns his entire body around and the ball hits the tip of his fingers, floats in the air and gives him enough time to secure it for a touchdown mannnnn one of the greatest catches ever! 3:06 this was football at its greatest, this is definitely the best game i've ever seen in my opinion, I miss those days!
SMT not when the patriots win (excluding this last season) Plus when the packers win the SB they had a bye week the next year (and we then decided to choke vs the giants )
Well.. neither of these teams were defending Superbowl champs... That would have been the Steelers.. and I can't remember if they were a wildcard that year
Back when it was fun watching the cardinals play :( shit even when Palmer was out QB it was super fun. I miss those days now we got some reality tv show going on.
I still don't understand how Fitzgerald wasn't penalized for either of those plays against Woodson. I will never understand. He straight up ran him over, twice. In the middle of the field.
Super Bowl 52 Eagles and Patriots was similar. Set the record for any NFL game with 1,151 combined total yards and it essentially came down to a strip sack on Brady that sealed it for the Eagles.
I’d just like to point out Charles Woodson won the DMVP even though Darren Sharper had better stats and was an enforcer. In the playoffs Woodson gave up 2 TDs and missed a key late tackle to help lose the game. Also Peyton Manning won the MVP even though Drew Brees had much better stats. In the playoffs Brees was stellar and Manning threw the SB pick 6 to Porter.
It wasn't a face mask by the rules then. You had to grab the face mask and twist it to be called. It was not. Proper call. Woodson to the woodshed, schooled by Fitz.
@@woodyd-184 Woodson was run over twice by Fitz. That's obvious OPI and more egregious than the OPI that was called the Seahawks TE in the SB XL. If Woodson had knocked Fitzgerald down, you best believe that would have been called DPI.
The fact that Warner had more TOUCHDOWNS than incomplete passes tells you just what kind of zone he was in. When he was on top of his game no one was better. Miss you Kurt, thanks for all the memories!
I'll take Rodgers every day of the week
@@timothyleee27204 He’s a loser.
@@timothyleee27204 Warner is a better QB and a much better guy.
@@catfishman1768 Well he's certainly not the better QB

Cardinals and Packers always have great playoff games
Always in OT
They always have great games. I moved from TX to AZ and my aunt from WI took me to my first cardinals game at sun devil stadium. McCown upset Favre and i loved it. Was a fan ever since. And every mathcup ever since hasn't failed to entertain
I’ll never forget the playoff game when the Cards had Palmer. Just turned 21 and the bar I was at was going nuts the whole game
A Cardinals fans we been getting lucky!
Packers and Cardinals Post Season Games Are Always A Rollercoaster Of Emotions Forsure! Haha GG PACK NATION.
This game would mark
-The final playoff win for Ken Whisenhunt as an NFL head coach
-The final playoff win for Kurt Warner
-The first playoff game for Aaron Rodgers as a starting QB
Ken Whisenhunt sucked as a coach, road his career on Kurt Warner, Big Ben & Philip Rivers
@@jamesgray6421 Ken whisenhunt was a good coach lol.
Ken wasn't as bad as I thought
Oh how far we've come since
@@Wunderlich879 oh
I'm a little autistic can you tell me how aht you mean by that
This is definitely one of the most underrated playoff football games
One of my favorites.
That Green Bay defense, despite being ranked very high, had games where they didn't show up at all. This game, Pittsburgh, both times against Minnesota, Cincinnati, Tampa.
If you watch that Pittsburgh game right before this one, u can see the Cardinals emulated the Steelers offensive gameplan.
My wife and I were at that game. We were surrounded by Packer fans who were starting to get a little too obnoxious when the Packers started coming back. That last play was hard to see even though it was right below our seats, most exciting game I have ever seen in person.
9:20 lol the ref
This was an unforgettable shoot out and the Pack Wouldn’t have beaten the saints but they took it the next year so...
we don’t know that for sure but you can act like you do lol....
It would've been a much closer game tbh vs the saints
The Saints beat the snot out of The Cards who obviously just beat the Packers, then beat perhaps the best team ever to not make the Super Bowl ‘09 Vikings then beat Manning and the Colts by 14 in the Super Bowl.
The ‘09 Saints were one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Assuming the Pack would beat the Saints is laughable.
@@catfishman1768 Youre right and Im a Packers fan but that was absolutely the Saints year.
@@catfishman1768 acting like you know what would happen in a hypothetical game is even more laughable..
I vividly remember the end zone celebration after they won in OT , they had a giant D lineman on all 4s and dansby started riding him like a bull and the other players were smacking the dude on the butt it was gold & I can’t ever find it
Game was stacked with some greats and all time legends. The most entertaining game I've ever watched.
Best playoff game ever
Relax buddy 😂
2015 rematch was just as intense
Very true, i also liked the 2015 matchup between these 2 teams when rodgers threw back to back hail marrys, that game got me hooked on football and i have been ever since
Best wildcard game ever
Yeah no.
Forgot the receiving talent this GB team had. Driver, Donald, Finley. Rodgers had a lot of weapons in his early days starting with the packers
Jennings and Jordy Nelson too
Ted Thompson was a good GM but I'm sorry, and I hate saying this, but this moron never wavered from his "Always Draft The Best Player Available At The Time Regardless Of Our Biggest Needs, Oh And Never Sign A Free Agent No Matter How Great Of An Impact He Will Have On The Team.

GO PACK GO you’re completely right...aaron should have at least 3 rings at this point but we straight up wasted him at his absolute peak
Cardinals had doucet, breaston, fitz, and beanie wells who was a good strong rb. Best game of 2009 for a cards fan.
@@CheezeHead-ps9xf gonna disagree about the clutch notion
This was the first wild card game I ever saw live. Definitely a great introduction to NFL playoff football
After watching the chiefs and bills game, this game right here is still the greatest playoff game in NFL history so far.
The Chiefs/Bills was constantly a close, well-played game with an utterly insane ending. Having four lead changes/ties within the last two minutes is just unmatched. The feeling of "we won/lost" then "we won/lost" then "we won/lost" then "we won/lost" is what makes the Chiefs/Bills the greatest. That roller coaster ride was something we'll probably never see again, especially on that stage.
@@rpospeedwagon as a Cardinals fan even I can agree with this, we’ve had crazy close playoff games but nothing beats that Bills vs Chiefs.
I remember this game. This thing was wild.
People really forget how often Warner was in the playoffs, hell even the super bowl….it’s wild that he only won 1 ring early in his career…
All this hard work to get blown out by saints
This was my first NFL game
Mine was cardinals Steelers Super Bowl 2008
So they weren’t calling offensive pass interference? Twice? 😭😭😭
Apparently at the time it wasn't PI and Larry was able to just body people while out on his routes lol
That's OPI all day every day. I was screaming at the TV when I saw it happen.
Also weren't calling facemask on the final play.
Lol packers suck
@@artis1969 That was a stiff arm
Larry fitzgerald took woodson too school 😭😭
Woodson did make him fumble and greenbay recovered both touchdowns woodson fell down.
Kurt had more Touchdowns than incomplete passes 🏈
As a Packers fan we should’ve won that game but this game is always a classic. The Cardinals always have my respect cuz of Larry Fitzgerald such a class act
You mention class acts without Warner? Okay.
@@raveouscarlias4479 damn you right how could I forgot about him
Best.....Wild......Card......Game.......Ever.
I remember laying down in bed watching this game and just seeing cardinals dominate green bay and then green bay just comes back with momentum and holy are their some amazing plays in this game, my favorite is the greg jennings catch towards the sideline in the endzone, he turns his entire body around and the ball hits the tip of his fingers, floats in the air and gives him enough time to secure it for a touchdown mannnnn one of the greatest catches ever! 3:06 this was football at its greatest, this is definitely the best game i've ever seen in my opinion, I miss those days!
6:55. Steve Breaston trying to be Razor Ramon
I remember crying on the last play 😭 that year
The year after we won it. but this one hurt
Kind of crazy to think Rodgers had ALL those weapons, Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver, Jermichal Finley and they still lost!
AND Arizona didn't have Anquan!!! LOL Packers suck!
They put up 45 points.
Yes all of those weapons helped hold Arizona to 45 points!
Everyone talked about the ending , but nobody talks about the game STARTING with defense.
Has Tom Brady’s defense ever allowed that many points in the playoffs? I don’t think so. But apparently he’s so much better than rodgers
Wild that the first Playoff pass ever from Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan are Interceptions from the cardinals, only a year apart too!
Kurt Warner is the best QB to ever play the game.
As a cardinals fan i can honestly say i look forward to when we play Green Bay it always ends up being a good one 💯💪🏽🔥🏜️⚪⚫🔴
Doucet and Breaston really stepped up this game
Facemask when Rodgers was sacked??
There was no twisting motion. That was the rule at the time. Therefore, no facemask.
Is it just me or do the super bowl losers or winners go to the wild card round every time
SMT not when the patriots win (excluding this last season)
Plus when the packers win the SB they had a bye week the next year (and we then decided to choke vs the giants )
Well.. neither of these teams were defending Superbowl champs... That would have been the Steelers.. and I can't remember if they were a wildcard that year
@Jonathan Dee The One And Only yeah them as well
Back when it was fun watching the cardinals play :( shit even when Palmer was out QB it was super fun. I miss those days now we got some reality tv show going on.
Did Larry Fitzgerald commit OPI against Charles Woodson? Or was Fitzgerald just that strong?
This was 1 of 3 rematches in the first round from week 17. Only my Packers didn't come up with same result.
Meanwhile, Rodgers FACEMASKED ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. NO CALL. 😡
Not even 100% sure it's the wildest Packers/Cardinals playoff game now lol
Story of my life as a Cardinals fan. I’m surprised I don’t have heart problems
Screwy finish aside, I dont think the Packers would have beaten the Saints had they won
No..but the Cards could have if Warner doesn't get hurt... That Cards team was loaded
@@ericmathis3746 yeah you right they could’ve beaten the 13-3 juggernaut saints on the road lol you most definitely right
This will always go down as "the game Kurt Warner had more touchdowns than incompletions."
It’s a shame Warner didn’t win anymore rings, especially with that roster he had….it’s also a shame this was his last win in the post season 😭
Rodgers got a facemask on that last play. 15 yrds and a first down. Would have had a better chance 🤔
I still don't understand how Fitzgerald wasn't penalized for either of those plays against Woodson. I will never understand. He straight up ran him over, twice. In the middle of the field.
thats what i said to myself all these years later i still am baffled, bs nocalls that changed this entire game
Poor Woodson.
What can I say Fitz is a badass
Tbh both these teams stood no chance against the ‘09 Saints especially with Bounty Gate. Once Warner got hurt the Cards were finished
Art Bedoya one of a kind badass
Still say refs missed a facemask by Adams on Rodgers on the last play.
I remember being an 18 year old punk kid and i kicked a hole through the drywall in the basement after Rodgers fumbled in OT lol 😅
Woodson one of the best defensive players of all time but got cooked in this one.
Man that 09 cards was loaded if only warner didn’t get hurt maybe that game would’ve been different
A game like that ending on a defensive play just isn't right wow
Super Bowl 52 Eagles and Patriots was similar. Set the record for any NFL game with 1,151 combined total yards and it essentially came down to a strip sack on Brady that sealed it for the Eagles.
I’d just like to point out Charles Woodson won the DMVP even though Darren Sharper had better stats and was an enforcer.
In the playoffs Woodson gave up 2 TDs and missed a key late tackle to help lose the game.
Also Peyton Manning won the MVP even though Drew Brees had much better stats. In the playoffs Brees was stellar and Manning threw the SB pick 6 to Porter.
Good thing its a regular season award
Both those tds were OPI. Woodson's strip shifted the momentum back to the packers and ignited the comeback.
The Wild Card Shootout.
Crazy that this was Kurt’s greatest game and it was his last win. Too bad the Bountygate Saints robbed them of another Super Bowl run.
Is it a fumble even tho it never touched the floor (OT play)
If this game happened in 2023, Anders Carlson would have missed 3 extra points and the game wouldn't have gone into OT
As a packers fan this one hurt. Why did Rodgers punt the ball?
9:07 if either the receiver had been farther out or Rodgers didn’t overthrow it, the packers probably would have won.
Rodgers 11-10 postseason record
Back when the future was bright in Green Bay 😢
I believe in these young guys brother
@@samborchers1633 yeah I honestly think we got a solid squad
@@ell3655 beat the bears get in classic set up Jordan Love is the truth
@@zachlaabs5257 The team we got now has crazy potential. I hope coaching decisions don’t end up wasting the talent again

1*^
2:45 A GREG JENNINGS!!!!!!!!!
Biggest screw job ever. That was a blatant face mask call & the hometown refs didn't call it. Missing a call like that, requires money to change hands
There was no twisting motion. That was the rule at the time. Therefore, no facemask.
@@woodyd-184 that’s a complete lie.
@@woodyd-184 That doesn't even matter. Also Larry pushing off on everyone.
Some of the worst defense you will ever see in this game
How many OPI's did Fitz get away with ffs lol
Tom Brady hit = flag
7:08. You think Julio Jones is the first one to do stuff like that (Superbowl 51)? Think again.
If rodgers made that pass
The most obvious face mask of all time wasn't called at the end of this game.
That packers team could won a three peat
Packers got robbed at the end with that face mask call
Never should have happened, they didn't call the face mask on Rodgers.
sooo how did Arizona score first? and GB...?? Lol... whack highlights
9:12 🤬🤬
Packers defence absolute joke time and time again when it matters most
why do people call this an offensive showdown...there's so many turnovers it's not even funny
That’s still a face mask
ROLLTIDE
Just wish the face mask and 2 opis would have been called
It wasn't a face mask by the rules then. You had to grab the face mask and twist it to be called. It was not. Proper call. Woodson to the woodshed, schooled by Fitz.
