Reliving perhaps the greatest single game QB duel of all time

[Manster7588]

yup

but this was 1994, you could play defense.

Just because they "Could" doesn't mean they "Did".

Nonsense !!! Back in 1966 when you could really play defense Washington outscored the Giants 72-41. If that game was played in today's rules it would easily be a 100-75 game

Here's my favorite Deadskins score. Granted I wasn't born yet.

December 8, 1940

On December 8, 1940, the Chicago Bears trounce the Washington Redskins in the National Football League (NFL) Championship by a score of 73-0, the largest margin of defeat in NFL history.

At least the Bears played Defense.

@The Oldtimer was at that game , but not sure how much he remembers of it

Fuck now I don't fell as bad for the 86 ass-whopping by Da Bears in the SB

LOL, no I wasn't at the game, I was only 7 years old at the time. I was and still am a big Rams fan.

You CAN'T be a fan at 7. At least that's what I'm told by @PhoenixEagles1

 

[sonnyblack65]

Incredible defense on display!!!!!

I agree 21 pts scored by D. Rams D picked off Mahomes 3 times and he fumbled twice , and Rams had a fumble too, for 6 t/o's

Well @PhoenixEagles1 is wrong.

The 2009 WC shootout between Rodgers and Warner comes to mind as one of those "wow" games. Being a playoff game and going to OT and broke the playoff record gives it a little more weight than a regular season game, imo.

This was the greatest live football game I have ever been to. It is considered one of the greatest playoff games of all time.

Final Score in OT - 51 - 45 Cards!

Rodgers:
28/42 - 423 yards - 4 TD 1 int Rating 121.4
Warner:
29/33 - 370 yards - 5 TD 0 int Rating 154.1

The greatest part of this game is the Cards won it in OT on a defensive TD - Sack/Fumble/TD
A well worth it 2 minute recap

Well @PhoenixEagles1 is wrong.

I've lost count how many times I said that.

 

[Stomp]

yup

but this was 1994, you could play defense.

You could they just chose not to. Looking at the stat line I don't think much defense was being played in any of these games

Brees vs Eli

Saints, Giants combine for record 13 passing touchdowns

 

[Ricky Roma]

Yup, that’s the first game I thought about.....no one would ever believe that Ken O’Brien was involved in a classic shootout like that....

O'Brien was a strange one....his 1985 season is really solid and for the first 10 weeks or so of the 1986 season, you'd thought he was the best QB in the NFL. And that was basically it.
