****Official Cardinals vs. Panthers Playoff Thread ****

[Rain Man]

I had good luck starting this thread last week. Go, Cardinals!

[L.A. Chieffan]

I'll make a prediction and say the team with an animal mascot will win this one.

No seriously, Carolina should fuck them up.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

I smell a big blow out here in Carolina's favor big time

[Basileus777]

The Cards will cover the spread but still lose.

[Bowser]

I'll make a prediction and say the team with an animal mascot will win this one.

No seriously, Carolina should fuck them up.

Probably, but I'm hoping not.

Arizona is 0-5 in the eastern time zone this year.

[Bowser]

I'm betting that Ultra Peanut has DeAngelo Williams' Memphis jersey on right about now....

[Rain Man]

Bummer. Boldin's not going to play. That hurts.

Warner and God can still get it done, though.

[Bowser]

Bummer. Boldin's not going to play. That hurts.

Warner and God can still get it done, though.

THE POWER OF BRENDA WARNER'S HAIR COMPELS YOU!!

[Thig Lyfe]

Cards will pull off the huge upset and ride the momentum to the Super Bowl.

[Bowser]

Cards will pull off the huge upset and ride the momentum to the Super Bowl.

Jinx.


Heh, how about the 9-7 Cardinals facing the 8-8 Chargers in the Super Bowl, while the 11-5 Patriots kick back and watch?

[warrior]

I just don't like Kurt Whiner :eek:

[Rain Man]

Why does this network keep shoving that bad impersonator down our throats? Please carry him out to sea and throw him overboard and let him impersonate that Beach Boys singer.

[Rain Man]

Jinx.


Heh, how about the 9-7 Cardinals facing the 8-8 Chargers in the Super Bowl, while the 11-5 Patriots kick back and watch?

Heh. That'd be kind of funny.

[Rain Man]

This is Arizona's most important game since we beat the Nazis.

[kstater]

Rainman is feisty this evening.

[keg in kc]

Carolina is going to obliterate them.

[RINGLEADER]

Hope the Cards win. Not really sure why. Guess the prospect of a potential Super Bowl featuring two teams that couldn't win ten games in the regular season is too much to resist...

Monty Beisel saves the day!

[Basileus777]

I'd like to root for the Cards, but I need the Panthers to win because they have a better chance against the Giants (if it comes to that.)

[eazyb81]

This game will be over before halftime.

[RJ]

This is Arizona's most important game since we beat the Nazis.



Did Deangelo Williams play for Germany?

[cdcox]

Carolina is going to run for 250 yards today.

[warrior]

Go Williams :D

[Basileus777]

So much for the Cards covering the spread......

[OnTheWarpath15]

Bitch-slapped.

[cdcox]

Carolina is going to run for 250 yards today.

By halftime.

[RJ]

Carolina is going to run for 250 yards today.


300

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Running all over em

[RealSNR]

The Falcons were a bad team.

The Panthers are a good team.

And it shows.

[warrior]

TD Great defense ROFL

[Frazod]

It's a good thing the first game was so entertaining, because I think this one's going to suck balls.

[Rain Man]

Did Deangelo Williams play for Germany?

Italy.

[Thig Lyfe]

Wow, what the hell was that?

[warrior]

It's a good thing the first game was so entertaining, because I think this one's going to suck balls.

Yeah :rolleyes:

[Rain Man]

He JonBakered the kickoff.

[chiefs1111]

big play to Fitzgerald

[RJ]

Italy.


Yeah, that sounds Italian.

Go Fitzgerald!!!!

I believe he's Irish.

[kstater]

This is a fresh change of pace from the first game.

[Frazod]

Crunch.

[RINGLEADER]

Down goes Warner...down goes Warner...

[cdcox]

down goes Herr Warner.

[RJ]

This is a fresh change of pace from the first game.


It's a nice contrast. Like cool, creamy cole slaw with your spicy barbecue.

[chiefs1111]

good play by Peppers

[warrior]

lost 7

[RINGLEADER]

I'd love to pick up Peppers and Suggs in the off-season.

If you're going to dream you might as well dream big...

[cdcox]

Peppers with the great play. Glad we nabbed his college running mate!

[OnTheWarpath15]

It's amazing what good coaching and a little surrounding talent will do for you.

Damione Lewis was absolute TRASH in STL.

He's been rock-fucking-solid in Carolina.

Same with Ryan Pickett in Green Bay.

[warrior]

I'd love to pick up Peppers and Suggs in the off-season.

If you're going to dream you might as well dream big...

:D

[Frazod]

Peppers with the great play. Glad we nabbed his college running mate!

:cuss:

[Mecca]

If I was Arizona my entire gameplan would be based on how many times I could get the ball to Fitzgerald.

[kstater]

Watching this commercial reminds me, Peyton getting knocked out last week gives him 3 extra weeks to shoot commercials.

[Mecca]

Well the defense was better that time.

[Skip Towne]

Watching this commercial reminds me, Peyton getting knocked out last week gives him 3 extra weeks to shoot commercials.

His commercials are great.

[warrior]

Well the defense was better that time.

Yes it was, might be a better game than most thought it would.

But that's a good thing.

:thumb:

[Basileus777]

If I was Arizona my entire gameplan would be based on how many times I could get the ball to Fitzgerald.

Good idea.

[Mecca]

And that is why I'd get it to him as much as possible.

[warrior]

Good catch

[Frazod]

Holy shit, what a catch!

[petegz28]

Fitzy is a fucking stud!

[RJ]

If I was Arizona my entire gameplan would be based on how many times I could get the ball to Fitzgerald.



That's looking like a good idea.

[kcxiv]

Fitz is freaking amazing.

[ClevelandBronco]

Nice catch, Larry.

[Rain Man]

Fitzgerald is a man's wide receiver. He's not one of those modern metrosexual receivers.

[milkman]

Ho Hum.

Fitzgerald makes another routine catch.

[cdcox]

LF!

[Bowser]

Fitzgerald = money.

[Mecca]

And that is why Fitzgeralds not great speed isn't an issue if the ball touches him it's a catch, doesn't matter how many defenders are there.

[Frazod]

Maybe this game won't suck balls.

[FringeNC]

I wonder how many more years Warner will play. Couple big more years could get him into the Hall of Fame.

[Mecca]

Maybe this game won't suck balls.

I honestly don't know why Arizona doesn't win more, there isn't a man on earth that can physically cover Fitzgerald....they may be able to outrun him but he'll either jump above them or out muscle them....

[warrior]

All right TD

This is my favorite weekend for foot ball -4 good games. :thumb:

[Skip Towne]

Fitzgerald is lucky to have a QB to throw it 10 yards short so he can make those catches in traffic.

[ClevelandBronco]

Darn it. I like to hate Eli.

He doesn't make it easy.

[Iowanian]

Fitzgerald is hands down the best WR in the league.

Amazing, acrobatic catches every single week.

[Dylan]

there's my boy Eli -- good luck tomorrow elllllllli








please don't yell at me for being stupid

[Mecca]

If Dwayne Bowe could learn to catch the ball he could be something like Boldin and Fitzgerald...they're both huge and physical like he is but they catch everything.

[Mecca]

Cardinals ball!

[ClevelandBronco]

Uh oh.

[cdcox]

Cards playing frisky!

[petegz28]

WTF is with the Cards playing D all the sudden?

[Frazod]

Wow.

[Basileus777]

Delhomme is a liability these days.

[Mecca]

WTF is with the Cards playing D all the sudden?

They have a ton of talent, so it's not that shocking that they can do it.

[OnTheWarpath15]

When did they quit throwing flags for delayof game when the ball is thrown/spiked after a play?

Good play, but it got me thinking...hadn't seen a flag for that in a while.

[OnTheWarpath15]

SHOCK THE WORLD.

[Bugeater]

Hum...so much for the Carolina blowout...

[Frazod]

Well, that was an interesting turn of events.

[Thig Lyfe]

.Cards will pull off the huge upset and ride the momentum to the Super Bowl.

[RJ]

Now if only the defense can hold the lead for three quarters!

[cdcox]

Cards are juggernauting.

[the Talking Can]

wow....scoring points


blasphemy

[Basileus777]

This weather isn't good for Arizona.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Carolina's OL is getting pushed around in pass sets.

[ClevelandBronco]

This weather isn't good for Arizona.

Yep. It'll be surprising if they can score at all.

[Mecca]

Oh cmon.....that's kind of a cheap flag.

[Thig Lyfe]

That quarter went by FAST.

And that's the most obvious PI call ever. Why didn't Rolle turn around even a little?

[Frazod]

Damn. PI on a pass that wouldn't have been caught anyway.

[Basileus777]

Rolle is such a bust.

[Bugeater]

This weather isn't good for Arizona.

I do like how there are no games in domes this weekend, they're all being played out in the weather like they should be.

[kcxiv]

Thats not a cheap flag, dude wasnt even turned looking at the ball and hit him a good second before the ball even got there.

[milkman]

Oh cmon.....that's kind of a cheap flag.

Really?

[Rausch]

Now if only the defense can hold the lead for three quarters!

Unlikely, but if they can get the ball last they'll score.

This Tards team reminds me of his St. Loser run.

Weak division, dangerous offense, just enough defense...

[ClevelandBronco]

That should have been an interception.

[Mecca]

Thats not a cheap flag, dude wasnt even turned looking at the ball and hit him a good second before the ball even got there.

Considering the ball was behind him and he slowed up to let Rolle run into him...I know why it was called but Smith baited it cause he knew he couldn't get the ball.

[milkman]

Considering the ball was behind him and he slowed up to let Rolle run into him...I know why it was called but Smith baited it cause he knew he couldn't get the ball.

I'm sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong.

[Basileus777]

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->If Rolle ever even glances back for the ball he picks that off instead of getting called for PI. That was an awful throw. But that was clear PI.

[ClevelandBronco]

I'm sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong.

Dude. He's been more wrong on several occasions.

[milkman]

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->If Rolle ever even glances back for the ball he picks that off instead of getting called for PI. That was an awful throw. But that was clear PI.

Exactly

[ClevelandBronco]

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->If Rolle ever even glances back for the ball he picks that off instead of getting called for PI. That was an awful throw. But that was clear PI.

That's the thing.

[milkman]

Dude. He's been more wrong on several occasions.

LMAO

[OnTheWarpath15]

Unlikely, but if they can get the ball last they'll score.

This Tards team reminds me of his St. Loser run.

Weak division, dangerous offense, just enough defense...

:spock:

The 1999 Rams had a top 5 defense.

The 2008 Cardinals are ranked in the bottom 1/4 in yards allowed and bottom 1/3 in points allowed.

[cdcox]

Delocetion!

[Bugeater]

LOL, Cards just picked off Delhomme.

[warrior]

WoW

[chiefs1111]

INT

[Basileus777]

Delhomme is a huge liability in big games these days. I don't know if you can win a Superbowl with him anymore.

[Frazod]

Panthers piss down their legs again.

[ClevelandBronco]

Red zone turnovers. It was the story of the earlier game.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I haven't seen this kind of play out of them all season.

[kstater]

Unlikely, but if they can get the ball last they'll score.

This Tards team reminds me of his St. Loser run.

Weak division, dangerous offense, just enough defense...

oops

[OnTheWarpath15]

DRC.

Someone really liked him last year going into the draft.

About time I was right about someone...

:D

[Frazod]

Funny, they got that play off faster than Baltimore did on the non-call. :shake:

[OnTheWarpath15]

Delocetion!

How about, CAJUNCEPTION!

[Ultra Peanut]

Jesus FUCK, I hate Jake Delhomme.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Warner's made some bad decisions this year, but he's still got it.

[ClevelandBronco]

Funny, they got that play off faster than Baltimore did on the non-call. :shake:

Yeah, but they wear red.

NFL officials hate teams that wear red.

[Basileus777]

DRC.

Someone really liked him last year going into the draft.

About time I was right about someone...

:D

He's been pretty good this year, even though he was a bit raw coming out.

[Frazod]

Yeah, but they wear red.

NFL officials hate teams that wear red.

Yes, I've noticed.

[Ultra Peanut]

Delhomme is a huge liability in big games these days. I don't know if you can win a Superbowl with him anymore.The Panthers really need to look into at least drafting a mid-round QB this year.

[milkman]

DRC.

Someone really liked him last year going into the draft.

About time I was right about someone...

:D

Who?

:D

[Rausch]

:spock:

The 1999 Rams had a top 5 defense.

The 2008 Cardinals are ranked in the bottom 1/4 in yards allowed and bottom 1/3 in points allowed.

The rams division was $3it and most of the rest of their schedule was also cupcake.

[kstater]

He's lucky he didn't get tossed.

[ClevelandBronco]

Dumb shit.

[milkman]

The rams division was $3it and most of the rest of their schedule was also cupcake.

It's "shit".

Go ahead, you can say it.

[chiefs1111]

that was a dumb penalty to take by Marshall

[OnTheWarpath15]

The rams division was $3it and most of the rest of their schedule was also cupcake.

The NFC in general was crap that year, and going 3-13 the year before (or whatever it was) can lead to a good year the following.

See, Atlanta, Miami, Baltimore 2008.

[chiefs1111]

damn,Peppers got smacked

[Dylan]

Panthers better stop them here... 14-7 and james is eating them alive

[Basileus777]

The Panthers really need to look into at least drafting a mid-round QB this year.

It would be worth spending a 1st/2nd round pick on one, but I don't know if any qb worth it will be there for them.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Wow; linemen who can tackle. I remember that.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Who?

:D

Did you like him too?

I remember someone making a comment about the run on CB's starting early, like he wasn't worth the 10th pick.

He and McKelvin were solid this year.

[Dylan]

panthers better watch the empty backfield -- or warner will eat them alive

[OnTheWarpath15]

This is just like the regular season game.

Arizona jumped out to a big lead, then shit down their leg and lost.

Wonder if they can continue this solid play.

[Ultra Peanut]

It worth be worth spending a 1st/2nd round pick on one, but I don't know if any qb worth it will be there for them.I would almost say Cassel would be a great fit for their needs, even with the high price, but Fox seems to be in love with Delhomme no matter how many turnovers he creates.

[milkman]

Did you like him too?

I remember someone making a comment about the run on CB's starting early, like he wasn't worth the 10th pick.

He and McKelvin were solid this year.

No, that's not what I mean't.

I was just joking, pretending that I didn't know you were talking about yourself.

I've said it before.

One can not pat himself on the back enough.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

This is just like the regular season game.

Arizona jumped out to a big lead, then shit down their leg and lost.

Wonder if they can continue this solid play.

They're not affected by the crowd it seems.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Someone tell the UPS guy to get a fucking haircut.

Goddamn hippy.

[OnTheWarpath15]

No, that's not what I mean't.

I was just joking, pretending that I didn't know you were talking about yourself.

I've said it before.

One can not pat himself on the back enough.

I don't do it very often.

Then again, I don't get the chance to either.

:D

[Bowser]

Someone tell the UPS guy to get a fucking haircut.

Goddamn hippy.

It's funny that if a UPS guy were to show up to work with hair like that, they'd either make him stuff it up under a hat or go home, with disiplinary action likely to follow.

[unothadeal]

It's "shit".

Go ahead, you can say it.

:eek:

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

God I hate AI.

[Bowser]

I don't do it very often.

Then again, I don't get the chance to either.

:D

You should ban Milkman for like six hours.


:evil:

[banyon]

I think I have picked the wrong team in almost every playoff game. SD over Indy, Bal over Ten, now Ari over Car. I think I also picked Ari to lose to the Falcons. Weird postseason so far.

[OnTheWarpath15]

It's funny that if a UPS guy were to show up to work with hair like that, they'd either make him stuff it up under a hat or go home, with disiplinary action likely to follow.

Yeah, I had heard they are pretty strict regarding hair length and facial hair.

[kstater]

That close up replay was awesome.

[Mecca]

Arizona is bringing it.

[Dylan]

poor jake

[Basileus777]

And playing the role of Rex Grossman tonight, we have Jake Delhomme.

[Ultra Peanut]

poor jakeFuck him. He's sucked for like three years, but his job is still completely safe because John "I think I'll start DeShaun Foster over DeAngelo" Fox.

[milkman]

Delhomme really does suck, doesn't he?

He's had one really good season, and been pretty pedestrian since.

[the Talking Can]

Delhomme is the white Kerry Collins who is the Black Chad Pennington....

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Herm and Gun are moonlighting, trying to get a job with Carolina.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

There IS a time to leave the pocket, Jake. It DOES exist...

[Mecca]

Ownage by Fitz again.

[Basileus777]

Nice coverage there.....

[the Talking Can]

great play

[cdcox]

Well designed play.

[RINGLEADER]

The Panthers are imploding!

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Yeah, leave LF open; that's always a GREAT idea.

[dirk digler]

Damn I can't believe the Cards are pretty much kicking the Panthers ass

[Dylan]

i'm rooting for warner

[Mecca]

They can not cover this man.

[Ultra Peanut]

Fitz yet again. Fuck fuck fuck.

[cdcox]

Oh, look. It's Larry.

[the Talking Can]

you might want to cover him

just a thought from a couch potato

[OnTheWarpath15]

Carolina might want to think about doubling Fitzgerald...

[Basileus777]

Wouldn't it be great if Arizona hosted the NFC Campionship game?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

JFC!!!! Carolina defense is playing Gun-stupid!

[unothadeal]

Fitz is the man

[Bowser]

"Just stick up in there and get three to four yards" [/4th grade humor]

[Mecca]

Even without Boldin there is nothing in the league like the Arizona WR's.

[Skip Towne]

Is Boldin hurt?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

That line in front of Warner is ANYTHING but the shizzle; great QB's just get it done.

[unothadeal]

Yea Skip

[Ultra Peanut]

Holy shit, nice stop.

Is Boldin hurt?He's inactive.

[dirk digler]

interesting play call

[OnTheWarpath15]

WTF?

Why does Warner keep tripping under center?

[cdcox]

Modern day Fullbacks should not be touching the ball in critical situations.

[Basileus777]

Go for the kill.

[OnTheWarpath15]

"Kurt's having a hard time pulling out..."

Yep, just ask Brenda, they have like 6 kids.

[Skip Towne]

Holy shit, nice stop.

He's inactive.

Why is that?

[kstater]

Step on their throats.

[Bowser]

GO FOR IT PUSSY!

[dirk digler]

20-7

[Ultra Peanut]

Why is that?Because.

[unothadeal]

WTF?

Why does Warner keep tripping under center?
The Guards are extremely close to the center.

[the Talking Can]

i like Moose...candid commentary

"it will be 21-20 real quick"

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Annnnd Wisenhut goes "Marty". Won't work against SD pal, better get those guys ready to make it under pressure when you need it.
Meh.

[Dylan]

if the cardinals get one more td -- jake is screwed

OMFG... Warner is so hot and the cards coach calls for a FG unbel. they'll never be elite doing chit like that

[unothadeal]

How funny would it be if the Cardinals win the Superbowl

[OnTheWarpath15]

He's damned either way.

Had he gone for it and missed, its a HUGE momentum swing in Carolina's favor.

[kstater]

Did the lights go out in the stadium?

[milkman]

Why is that?

[Herman ****ing Edwards]He's got a hammy[/Herman ****ing Edwards]

[FringeNC]

CArolina has no yards since the first drive

[Mecca]

Pick!

[Basileus777]

ROFL
ROFL

[kstater]

ROFL

[dirk digler]

LMAO

INT

[unothadeal]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Bugeater]

I'll be god damned, this is crazy.

[Ultra Peanut]

That one is on Fox for even giving Delhomme the chance to fuck things up again.

[cdcox]

Delhomiception II!

[Basileus777]

Oh man, I'm loving this.

[the Talking Can]

and anothe defense/run team goes down with a worn out vet QB....

[dirk digler]

Do you bench Delhomme?

[milkman]

Jaked.

[RJ]

Wow, this is an unexpected turn of events.

[kstater]

Epic meltdown.

[unothadeal]

SUPERBOWL BOUND BIRDS




FLY FLY

[tk13]

I was about to type that Arizona might have just missed a chance to bury them... but nevermind.

[OnTheWarpath15]

CAJUNCEPTION!

[RJ]

Do you bench Delhomme?



Backup?

[Bowser]

Bring in Carr!

[kstater]

Do you bench Delhomme?

I think you have to start thinking about it.

Who's the backup?

[Basileus777]

Who is the backup? McCown? It's time.

[eazyb81]

Well, this is certainly a surprise.

On the downside, I guess we have to worry about Carolina as another team that needs a QB in the draft.

[dirk digler]

Carr can't possibly be any worse

[unothadeal]

Welp, 4000.

[RINGLEADER]

It's a madhouse...A MADHOUSE!!!

[milkman]

Bring in Carr!

Isn't he in NY these days?

[Dylan]

How funny would it be if the Cardinals win the Superbowl


i doubt it. j/m/o

jake is having trouble -- all the cards need to do is put points on the board and force the ball into Jake's hands -- but it seems AZ rather kick FGs J/M/O

[OnTheWarpath15]

Ouch.

Didn't know it was Delhomme's birthday...

ROFL

[Basileus777]

Carolina is clearly going with the "make Larry Fitzgerald beat us" strategy.

[Mecca]

TD Fitz!

[kstater]

TD

[dirk digler]

LMAO

TD

[chiefs1111]

this is getting ugly

[Bugeater]

Knockout blow.

[OnTheWarpath15]

TOUCHDOWN!

[cdcox]

Larry is just sick.

[milkman]

You can't stop Larry Fitzgerald, and you can't contain him either.

TD Cards!

[eazyb81]

How awesome would it be to have bet on Arizona in this game.

[Skip Towne]

if the cardinals get one more td -- jake is screwed

OMFG... Warner is so hot and the cards coach calls for a FG unbel. they'll never be elite doing chit like that

You sure are talkative today. I saw you had 35 posts in the other playoff thread.

[siberian khatru]

Yeah, don't bother covering Fitz tonight.

[the Talking Can]

Fitz is breaking it off deep inside of Carolina

[OnTheWarpath15]

Carolina is clearly going with the "make Larry Fitzgerald beat us" strategy.

ROFL

[Thig Lyfe]

Cards will pull off the huge upset and ride the momentum to the Super Bowl.

:clap:

[Mecca]

Carolina is clearly going with the "make Larry Fitzgerald beat us" strategy.

Looks like my gameplan was the right idea.

[dirk digler]

Josh McCown is the backup

[Bowser]

YEEEEAHHH, Tommy! Ride 'im like a toilet seat!!!

[kcxiv]

I do know 1 thing. Worst post season teams in the nfl

31. Kansas City Chiefs
32. Detroit Lions.

And now they score another TD. lol Cardinals have a shot for the Superbowl. hah
