GREEN BAY, WI (AP) - For three quarters it looked like America's Cinderella, the Arizona Cardinals were going to head to their first Super Bowl ever. Then the fourth quarter signaled the clock striking midnight, and the Cardinals' Super Bowl glass slipper didn't fit. Ahman Green went off and when it was all said and done, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 24-20, to clinch a spot in Super Bowl XXXIX. The former Nebraska runningback carried the ball 33 times for 143 yards and two clutch fourth quarter touchdowns. He also had four catches, including one for a 64 yard touchdown.

The Cardinals did have the early momentum as after a missed field goal by Ryan Longwell, Drew Henson went to the air and found Anquan Boldin for 60 yards. The next play he rolled out to his right and found Nathan Hodel for seven yards and the touchdown. Green Bay came right back with a field goal and then after an Arizona three-and-out, Green Bay sustained a ten play drive but it ended on their own 44 yard line. B.J. Sander punted the ball deep to Josh Scobey and with some good blocks, the former Kansas State Wildcat took it 81 yards to the house. Neil Rackers kicked a 40 yard field goal the next Arizona drive, but Green Bay struck back with a Brett Favre shovel pass to Green that went 64 yards to paydirt.

A quiet third quarter led to an explosive Packers fourth quarter. Ahman Green needed just three plays to get into the endzone to tie the game, and then after a Cardinals three-and-out, Green Bay got the ball back at their own 29 yard line. Green carried the ball three times for a first down and then Favre found Frank Sanders and Green en route to another first down. A few Favre passes and William Henderson runs after that led them to the six spot, when Green punched in hihs second rushing touchdown of the game. That run gave Green Bay the lead for good and the chance to play in the Super Bowl.

Arizona finishes the season at 13-6.

Just another reason to hate Brett Favre. tough loss

[Woy]

Man that loss had to hurt Ethan. Bet you wanted to throw the controller.

Yeah it did, led the entire game and then Ahman Green goes off in the fourth.

SHIT

Damn, must suck ass to make it that far, but lose. Anyways, great season and best of luck in the offseason.

Yeah it does, but it keeps it sorta realistic. Thanks for following.

Just another reason to hate Brett Favre. tough loss

Favre didn't really do much, Green killed me.

I'll let a few more people say their thoughts about the game and then I'll post the Super Bowl and such.

[Fox1994]

Wow. You'll get it next year. I've got to admit I skipped some of the mid-season, but I'm gonna read all the playoff stuff. I just can't drudge through all that... lol.

Hey, Woy, you use any particular sliders?

[Fox1994]

boldin is gonna be the next steve breaston lol.

lol. Man, those were the days.

Btw, what the hell ever happened to Young Wonda?

Okay, I read through all the playoffs, now could you give me some Raider stats? :D

Please... :D

[Woy]

Well look who stopped in. :D

Hey, Woy, you use any particular sliders?

I was pretty happy with how the season played itself out. My expectations were 8-8 or something like that and I ended up making the NFC Championship.

I've been messing around with sliders for half the season and finally found some good ones. Basically all they are is the CPU's QB, RB, and WR sliders moved to the max and the CPU interception slider 1/4 of the way down.

lol. Man, those were the days.

Btw, what the hell ever happened to Young Wonda?

Okay, I read through all the playoffs, now could you give me some Raider stats? :D

Please... :D

Lol yes they were. I actually tried to see if YoungWonda posted here, and sure enough he has one post. It's in Jay's old Notre Dame dynasty. Maybe I'll try to snag his e-mail somehow and get his ass back here. ;)

And I'd definitely give you some Raiders stats, but I'm already into the second season and didn't write any down. Lemme check if I have any written down for ya.

[Woy]

Bump before I leave for work. I'll possibly have an update late tonight.

400 replies!

[Fox1994]

Maybe you could check on the Raiders next year? :D :D :D :D :D :D

Please... :D lol

Please... :D lol

Lol I will just for you. So when am I gonna get to read up on another Fox 'chise?

[Fox1994]

Beats me. I'm not getting NCAA 10. I've got to run-through Madden 10 a few times, first. See how I feel about it. See how I feel about the running game. Last year I felt it was inadequate and it caused me to not go more than one season in franchise.

Edit: Plus, I'd have to create Favre and Vick due to lack of online... and at least one of them will be playing this upcoming season. If I have to create them, I'd rather just not post my franchise. We will see, though. It's all up in the air right now.

NCAA 10 is going to be a lot better than everyone expects - I'm really excited for it. I played a lot of 09, so 10 should be better - it's that damn roster problem I'm not going to like dealing with. If you ever get the chance, I have an Army dynasty and a Campus Legend going on for that game. I'm going with the default roster for my CL and if I don't get online by the time I leave for college, I'll manually update the rosters for my dynasty.

Madden is going to be the shit this year, everything looks great. I don't have online either, but it should be pretty easy to create Favre and Vick. Vick probably won't play this year though. Whatever you do man though, you know I'm behind you 100%.

Maybe we'll get Boston Shamrocks 2.0 for Madden 10 - I've been really debating it.

[T.Dot]

Shamrocks 2.0?

That'd be sick but wouldn't it be 3.0 since you already tried that ;)

[Woy]

Shamrocks 2.0?

That'd be sick but wouldn't it be 3.0 since you already tried that ;)

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I technically didn't play any games so this one would be Shamrocks 2.5 or something. We'll see though.

I'll post the Super Bowl results tonight after work.

[Fox1994]

That would be nice. I miss Breaston and She-Hate-Me and McFadden... Those were the days. lol. I still don't really understand why SG got shut down.
