20 - 19 after the Aaron Rodgers scrambling 41 yard bomb as time expired.

Incidentally, Aaron Rodgers had 101 yards on that final drive.
Started at the 4 yard line.
2 - 5 and since the 60 yard pass got called back as the Pack was penalized, there you have 101.

yeah, run lacy up the gut and lose in regulation... lolno. You have to take your chances in OT, the defense just screwed the pooch on the first play

No, you have all the momentum after that play and take your chances in OT. There's too much that can go wrong on one play at the goal line.

But no head coach is going to take that chance. Miss and it's all on you. Lose in OT and its most likely on the D.

I believe Shanahan and Vermeil both did it and won in playoff games w/o checking google

I think you go for 2 there considering you've pretty much gotten whipped on both sides of the field and it took a miracle to get you back in the game. You just shell shocked the Cardinals D you go for the kill there imo

This is what I'd said and expected to happen.

I was quite happy when they took the tie.

No guarantee they get the 2-point conversion, but is take my chance with Rodgers in even a broken play from goal line for the win than a defense that held the Cardinals down in points, but allowed multiple second-half redzone chances in overtime.

FWIW Rodgers is now 0 - 7 in OT games.
However, 4 of the 7 he never touched the ball. Including the AZ Cardinals game.
