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. šŸ™‚

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 

ā€œI was looking at Davante Adams,ā€™ā€™ he said from the Packersā€™ bus, on the way to the Fort Lauderdale airport late Sunday afternoon, ā€œbut he wasnā€™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 didnā€™t know what I was going to do.ā€

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

Rodgers said, "I told Davante, ā€˜Iā€™m really proud of you.ā€™ ā€

What receiver wouldnā€™t want to play with Aaron Rodgers?

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

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
