Ironic that it happened against this team.

Another irony: The Packers would go on to sign Mark Ingram after that season.

Did you know that you can just copy/paste a YouTube URL into a post and it'll display the video?

I don't think it was ironic, I think it was a coincidence. 🙂

I watched that game on TV when Marino did that. I became a slight Marino fan at that moment.

I too remember watching that play and wondering what the hell happened.

Have to admit I was scared Adams was going to get pulled down inbounds. Loved the play, but we got a little agressive and should have went out of bounds earlier to guarantee 2 plays instead of 1.

Adams got from the 16 to the 4. If he just runs straight out of bounds without any risk of a tackle he is maybe to the 10. Maybe. Getting that much closer opened up a number of options to score on that last play including the back shoulder that we threw. With 6 seconds we also had time for two of those plays as evidenced by the 3 seconds still on the clock. I think the expected reward outweighed the risk. Thankfully, it payed off in this specific instance too.

Rodgers told the Green Bay Press Gazette that no one knew he was going to do it:

"It's one of those things that you don't really tell anybody what's going on. You're just yelling 'clock' and signaling 'clock,' and then right before I snapped it, I looked out to the right and they were way off outside. So I just kind of faked it and moved. Davante wasn't looking at me initially, but after he saw me, probably moving, he looked and I threw it."

Hell, Adams himself didn't know the ball was coming to him

“I was looking at Davante Adams,’’ he said from the Packers’ bus, on the way to the Fort Lauderdale airport late Sunday afternoon, “but he wasn’t looking at me. In a situation like that, you want to make eye-contact so he knows something might be coming. But not this time. He didn’t know what I was going to do.”

sort of as a counter to the "AR yells at players" thread a couple of weeks ago:

Rodgers said, "I told Davante, ‘I’m really proud of you.’ ”

What receiver wouldn’t want to play with Aaron Rodgers?

It would seem Davante Adams managed to earn Rodgers' trust early on.

Fan Shout

TheKanataThrilla (now) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (6m) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (12m) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (13m) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (15m) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (15m) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (20m) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (20m) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (23m) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (31m) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (38m) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (39m) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (39m) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (40m) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (40m) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (40m) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (41m) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (42m) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (52m) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (53m) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (55m) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (55m) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (56m) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (57m) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (1h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (1h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (1h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (1h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (1h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (1h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit

dhazer (3h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3

Mucky Tundra (5h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters

Mucky Tundra (5h) : *cut down on snaps that

Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, no not at all. Just seems counterproductive to cut down on snaps to help back ups get playing time and get potential money after cuts

Zero2Cool (6h) : So, Jets tell Rodgers they're moving on? QB2 for Packers haha

Zero2Cool (6h) : Hey, I'm not saying it's the great idea. I'm saying, it's what I think will happen.

beast (6h) : You think they give a crap enough about bubble guys to make rules for them?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : So games that will be even *more* sloppy the first two or three weeks of the season?

Zero2Cool (10h) : I think you can figure most starters won't be playing either of the two games at all.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : is 2 preseason games enough for bubble guys to make a mark?
