That was the most incredible sports game I've ever watched in my life. Most of the game, even when we were down and making mistakes, I was still confident we would come back. I just thought Russell would pull some more magic out of his hat. But after that last INT I saw the clock and had to admit to myself that it was nearly impossible. I started resigning myself to defeat and mentally preparing myself to be gracious to my wisconsin friends.
At every point during the comeback I kept thinking of what we had to do next, "Ok we scored, but we've gotta get the 2pt conversion" or "The onside kick almost never works." or "Aaron Rodgers will march 'em down the field again."
Only when Russell dropped that dime to Kearse in the endzone did it hit me that there was nothing else left for us to do. In the words of Warren Moon, "GAME OVER, BABY!"
Just unbelievable. Russell's reaction postgame was exactly how I felt, and knowing how stoic he usually is, that was purely genuine. What an amazing player. Lucky to watch him and this team.
