So the question I ask t all of the long time Card fans, was that the best game you have ever seen live? Maybe best ever live or on TV? Outside of last year's NFC Championship, I cannot think of a better game. That was unreal. I have seen similiar comebacks with the Snake, but nothing like that, in the playoffs. What a day. GO CARDS!

It's definitely the best Cardinal game I've ever seen in terms of the highest quality game or whatever you want to call it.

I remember way back to the Chargers and Dolphis when Fouts was there and I think Mario, not sure but this to me was just as good.

The NFC Championship last year was all world. But today? I am speechlees. Truly. DOn't know how to describe what I witnessed other than to say that I think it was the single best football game I have ever witnessed... I think it tops the Eagles game from last year.

WOW!

I'd put it on the same level as the win over Atlanta in the WC round last year.

Philly game ranks all-time for me, just because of what it meant (going to Superbowl). But in terms of ups and downs and highs and lows and entertainment value, this game is first.

I aged like 5 years today.

This game was awesome. One of the best I've ever seen in person.

My brother-in-law texted me this: Ironic that it ended on a defensive play. LOL

96 freaking points scored...Kurt 29-33 with 5 TDs?

:thud:

I think in terms of just the game of football this game was in another class.

We all know what last years NFC championship meant to any fan.

Purely as a game, even though that's not exactly how the question is worded, it's the best Cardinal game of all time.

One of the best games period of all times.

It was a great game, but one that should not have been that close. We couldn't close a big lead and had several flaws exposed. The second half defense, onside kick, Rackers miss are things that detract from me thinking this was one of the greatest Cardinals games ever.

Perhaps to a plain, neutral NFL fan, this was one for the ages, but for a diehard fan of one of the participants, it was one we escaped with.

The best Cards game I've seen was the NFC Championship game because it got us into the Superbowl for the first time ever.

Here in KC I've started a mini Cardinal fan club, people I work with, my friends etc.

They got sucked in last year during the playoff run, because I think they were bored and the Chiefs stank and I always wear the gear and they found that odd.

So anyhow, now my phone rings non-stop for like 20 minutes after these games, even some in the regular season.

Those people who ar newbies think this team is the most entertaining football team of all time, they're even buying gear now.

The returns from tonight were all utter amazement.

They all thought it was one of the top three football games ever played.

A lot of people will say that neither team could provide any D today. Bull----This was a GREAT game. Warner was nearly perfect. Rogers and his young squad were set back immediately, and severely, and they picked up their jaws and climbed back into this game (WITHOUT OUR OFFENSE GIVING THEM ANYTHING). They wore our D to a frazzle. This is a Real Good GB team that the Cards beat today. I believe they will win multiple rings with Rogers at the helm.

I said when we played that team in Pre-season people should be falling over themselves to draft Rogers on their fantasy team.

He's unreal and that team is unreal, that was a great great game, the kind of game that over time will only grow more impressive with age.

I was at a game years ago here in KC where two horrible defensive teams the Chiefs and the Colts went at it and I think there might have been one or no punts.

That one was not like this though, in that game the teams literally were both that bad on defense.

Neither of these teams are that bad on defense, the offenses were just that good, it was one for the ages IMO.

I went to the Idaho-Bowling Green game a couple weeks ago and thought that would be the wildest football game this postseason.

Don't know what to make of this yet. I totally understand how a fan of neither team would think this was one of the best. For me, it was a potential blowout that turned into an epic collapse that turned into a botched chance to win that turned into a thrilling victory. Some missed penalties that went our way at the end, but after some crucial penalties against us that could have gone either way but kept their comeback rolling. Plus the national broadcast that wasn't exactly biased, just all Packers except the beginning and end. All in all, kind of ugly. But awesome.
