Ok, got my Cardinals shirt on... ready to watch.
Nice work by the Cards. Having positive rushing yards is a good idea. TD, 7-0.
Mmmm... run defense needs some work.
Fumble! Recovered by Arizona! Woohoo!
Wow, 2 more plays & another TD. Continuing the good start. Doucet.
Special teams is doing a great job. Oops, a flag. Unnecessary roughness against Green Bay.
GB starts @ their own 8.
Good tackle, thought he'd missed it.
Offsides, blech. GB gets a 1st down. Keep the pressure on, Cards D.
Good coverage, but they pick up another 5.
Ooh, deep man had 'im beat... that was a touchdown, if Rodgers made the throw. Lucky.
Sack by Berry! Woohoo!
Lost football... AZ falls on it, good. Be smart, guys.
Sack. Ouch. Larry Fitzgerald gets it next time, & Charles Woodson didn't take it away this time.
Ok, don't need to blog every play, I guess.... they're really moving it well.
Right, gotta work the run game, but man... GB isn't giving up anything.
Ok, have to settle for a field goal, but that's not terrible. 17-0, Cards.
Wow, run defense. Cool.
End of the 1st quarter. 3 more to go - a very long time.
Ok, GB starts the 2nd quarter well. Nice throw, good catch, solid gain. They're already in Cards territory. But another sack, hooray!
Looks like they'll have to settle for a field goal... and I think it'll be long. Nope, wide right. Woohoo!
Haven't seen a big reverse like that work in quite a while. Looks like it really surprised GB.
Damn, fumble recovered by GB. Charles Woodson is annoyingly amazing.
Horse-collar is 15 yards? Announcers seem to think it's a questionable call. Doesn't matter - just gotta play.
Missed tackle, in the red zone for GB. Time for a stand, Cards. Yeah...
And another sack! Nice work, Cardinals D. Rodgers kept the ball well.
Ok, that's a crap call. Oops, no it wasn't - definitely pass interference.
Touchdown Green Bay. They're on the board. Time for the Cards' O to get back to work. Maybe special teams will do some good on the offensive side, too.
Cardinals are moving it well enough. Beanie Wells looks good; he just needs to hold onto the ball.
Whoa, I thought that flag after the 18-yard run was going to holding against the Cards, but it's a face mask call against GB.
Doucet beats a tackle, loses his helmet & scores a touchdown! Warner got lots of time, especially by his standards. 24-7, Cardinals.
Fumble on the kick-off return... big pile. Green Bay keeps it, but a GB player is injured.
Ouch - gotta catch the ball before you run, James.
Wow, serious hail Mary. Rodgers got away with a big one. Great catch by the GB receiver - Finley.
Red zone D for the Cards again. Got 1 stop. 30 seconds left in the half. Quick pass. 14 seconds now, GB takes a time out. They have to be careful not to get caught up, time-wise, or they won't score at all. Let's see... Yes, great pass coverage... ack! Another horse-collar. Doesn't matter - they can't get the TD. Yeah, easy field goal, end of half - 24-10 AZ > GB.
2nd half... Cards get the ball & start moving it.
Nice mix of running & passing. Keep it away from Woodson. Or throw a flag at him. :-)
Larry Fitzgerald for the score! Woohoo!
C'mon, defense... Finley is good, but the Cards are controlling things well. Big plays are always a potential problem. Or flags - drat. Now GB is marching.
Ack! Looked like that was almost picked off. Jennings was smart to get up.
Great tackle! Now what... Cards D is really making them work for it. Not sure why that wasn't caught. Aww, awesome catch by Jennings. That should've been just another 3 for the Pack, but they get 7.
Aww, good idea... damn Pack.
Cards D must be getting tired. They need a stop. Well, not really - still 14 up - but GB has momentum, and that's dangerous. Yes - 4th down. What are you going to do now? It's only 4th & 1, so probably going for it. Damn, they got it.
C'mon, Cards, get in Rodgers' face... ack, good pass to Finley, again. Holding, but not so bad for GB. Why is it 1st & 10?
Cards D can't stop them. The offense is going to have to pick it up again.
Crap, how did Rodgers get away? Touchdown GB. Boo. It's definitely still a game.
Woohoo, Beanie! Awesome! 42 yard run!
Larry! Uh-oh... there was a lot of time for Warner. Oh, good - roughing the passer. Awesome! Larry, amazing catch. The only bad thing is, Arizona's defense hasn't had much time to rest.
Green Bay is moving it well, too. Blitz didn't get it done.
Quite the defensive struggle, this game. 3rd & 5 - didn't make it. Will they go for it? Maybe... c'mon, GB, settle for a field goal. Nope. Damn, missed tackle & a touchdown. Terrible. 7 point game.
Warner & receivers time. Good, they're not neglecting the ground game. Gotta keep the Pack guessing.
Damn Woodson, again! Nice job. The Cards have to punt. Not a good punt, either - they were really coming. The only stop of the day so far - terrible timing for the Cards. Defense - time to return the favor. Let's see it - crush Rodgers. Nope, Finley again, for 38 yards.
Jeez, the D is just looking terrible. GB gets another TD. Tied up.
Back to the O. Not sure what that 1st throw was. 2nd was sensible, but only for 6. Hightower for the 1st down, great. Beanie, small gain. Hightower, another 1st - not sure he was really OoB. Oops, hand-off for negative 2. Patrick, not a 1st down, but close. 3rd down & inches. Beanie - 1st down.
Commentators talking about this maybe being Warner's last season. That'd be really bad for Arizona. Leinert certainly hasn't shown he can carry the team.
Nice, Warner to Breaston, @ the GB 20. Pass interference, should've been.
Touchdown to Breaston! Nice spinning catch.
Yeah, quite the defensive struggle. ;-O
GB starts at their 30. Throw & good tackle, 5 yards. Pass interference - crap. Seemed like that was within the 1st 5 yards. They need a big play from the D... almost a sack, but Rodgers slips away & gets 13 yards. Aaah! No way he was in... yeah, he was. Amazing. C'mon, D. Aaaaaaaaah! That should've been an interception! Oh, the Cardinals coverage knocked themselves out of the play. Well, better than a catch.
Finley playing games... behave, fellas.
Crap, another TD for GB. Under 2 minutes for the Cardinals to score back. Have to worry about another onside kick. 90 points altogether & counting.
What's a snap infraction? You make too much noise with your fingers?
Breaston again. Nice.
Larry. Hey, he was out-of-bounds - stop the clock! Nope, I guess not. Another pass completed. Need to take a time-out.
Another pass - Doucet. Got the 1st - great. Now what? Out of time-outs. Field goal? Probably reasonable. C'mon, kicker dude! Rackers... sounds like a Hooters knock-off. 34 yard field goal... wide left! Crap!
Green Bay gets to receive. Can't imagine the defense is going to come through now, after the game so far.
Jennings was open, but Rodgers didn't make the pass. The official fell over.
Penalty... holding! Yes! 10 yards. Ooh, helmet-to-helmet, too. Ouch.
Good coverage, but they still gave him 15 yards. 3rd & 5. C'mon, D.
Sack, plus fumble, plus recovery by the D, plus touchdown!
Cardinals win! Cardinals win! Wooooooohooooooooo!
