Anyone else want to tell me how the NFC South is the best division in football still....after the AZ Cardinals steam rolled the two playoff entrants from that division?

ddthetide 01-10-2009 11:35 PM

i didn't see either game, sounds like i'm kinda glad. maybe i shouldn't watch the steelers tomorrow either.:zz:

The Cardinals better start PRAYING that Philly wins - so they get the NFC Championship game at home. They want no part of the Giants in the cold.

I watched Arizona play New England in the snow - New England was up 52-0 at the start of the 4th quarter... and they made enough mistakes that the score could have been about 80-0 with a bounce or two here and a drop or two there going NE's way.

I didn't see either games. Could someone explain to me why the Panthers only ran the ball 15 times last night? Obviously they were down big going into the 2nd half, but why did they get away from it in the 1st half?

Arizona was keying run the whole time and daring Delhomme to throw it and delhomme kept turning the ball over early in drives. There really wasnt too much of a chance to run.

TheSpyder 01-11-2009 09:10 AM

Terrible game plan by Panthers. Never adjusted to stunts and AR defense. On defense they play zone with only one receiver to worry about. A real shocker here in Charlotte and many months to question what happened.

Arizona is a good team for sure. But, Delhomme showed signs of Romo last night..not good!

If you say so, Like I said I didn't see the game. The stats say that they ran 15 times for 75 yards and a TD. I know one run was for 31 yards. Take it away and they were averaging 3 yards a carry. You still have to have a little faith in the 2 guys that got you there and hope they bust a few (like they did all season). They were like the 2nd or 3rd best rushing team in the leauge. It just seems like they got away from their bread and butter very early and put the game in Delhomme's hands.

They were talking last night about how the Panthers bad the Panthers Defense has been the past few weeks. It was evident in the game against the Saints when they almost blew a 20 something point lead in a game that still meant something for the Cats. Apperantly lack of pressure on the QB has been a big issue there and was supposedly a big problem last night too.

TheSpyder 01-11-2009 10:28 AM

You're right but thought with two weeks to tweek they would show something last night. They had nothing and the pass defense on Fitz was horrible, really horrible.

It's a great opportunity to fire Fox and go after Cowher. I believe this is the job he's waiting for.

TheSpyder 01-11-2009 10:34 AM

With Richardson looking for a heart transplant, can't see it happening, BUT, you're right. If this season would have been bad, all parties involved would have been for it.

The Chicago Bears played the Falcons and the Panthers. They had both teams beat and managed to lose the game in the final seconds. Just saying if The Bears beat you or at least should have
you ain't THAT good.

I hope the Eagles win so that AZ can host

Part of me thinks that they looked right past Arizona. Nobody really gave the Cards a chance. Maybe some of the Panthers bought into that and were already focused on the NFC title game. But Arizona came to play and you have to give them alot of credit. They made the Panthers get away from their strength.

TheSpyder 01-11-2009 02:17 PM

McNabb
 
You can say what you want about him but with the passing scheme leading their offence no one gets hit as much and avoids getting hit more than him. He is one tough dude.

GPK 01-11-2009 03:02 PM

Amazing the way the home teams thus far in the playoffs have simply failed to show up.

Smooth Operator 01-11-2009 03:43 PM

Wow ... a 'dog fest this weekend ... and a bird fest next week



Maybe the Bolts will light up Pittsburgh tonight...

We've already seen that game. It wasnt pretty.

I'm rooting for Baltimore that's all I have to say.

The team that played the Ravens that weekend is no more. This team, defense esp., is playing with a lit firecracker in their a$$es.

Unbelievable that the two teams my dad put future wagers on are still alive. (Bal and Phi)...He said he had a dream that Harbaugh got a gatorade bath. My brother Matt and I still break his balls over that one. Guess he's the one laughing now.

Coach Pants 01-12-2009 12:15 PM

Arizona will beat Philly.

Jesus won the BCS Championship.

God wins the Super Bowl.

It's the year of the holy rollers.

I agree. Philly is playing the way they should have been all along.

There are two teams over the last two decades that developed a little bit of a reputation for getting stuck in the conference championship game: the steelers and the eagles.

didnt you just love how the media (and tebow for that matter) built up the question on whether or not he would stay into this bullshit drama? Like there was any question at all.

Why would the guy come out to become a 4th round draft pick playing special teams for the bengals?

GBBob 01-12-2009 12:30 PM

What happened this weekend in a game that had never happened before in the history of the NFL?

Hey, D Mac's first words were " God is good" :rolleyes:

In all honesty, it will be a good game with alot of action. Jim JOhnson needs to be more careful with his blitz's. If he leaves his corners on an island with this group of WR's, it will be a long game for Philly.

Final score of 23-11??

and a rookie QB wins two playoff games, on the road to boot.

Yep...
The second made me think of how much easier it used to be in the NFL if you had the first round bye. Win one game ( Marino) and you go to the SB..

If you cant leave Asante Samuel on an island, then you cant leave anyone.

Fitzgerald will come down with it no matter who is covering him. The key is getting to Warner so he cant put it up for grabs.

Philly got here blitzing and they will win (or lose) blitzing.

Coach Pants 01-12-2009 12:50 PM

Fitzgerald is an incredible talent. Might be the best reciever of all time right now.
