2008 NFL Thread

[Dark Donnie]

Greg Lewis freaking sucks

THat was a nice play by Hood...

[Dr. Evil]

The guys on Fox predict that Pittsburgh will be AFC Champions and then go on to win The Super Bowl.

[Dr. Evil]

A miss FG by David "Green" Akers.

Good field position for Zona

[Dark Donnie]

Offense can't get it going

[Dr. Evil]

Wow.

[Double Down]

Awesome!

[BlackLantern]

suck on that Philly.....

[Holiday]

That was ****in' great.

[vindrow]

Another CArds TD.

[Double Down]

Super Bowl preview:

[The Game]

What the hell just happened

[Mister J]

Yowza! :wow:

[Dr. Evil]

Wasn't one of Philly's goals to stop Fitzgerald?

[The Chris]

Awesome play. awesome.

[Kaleb]

oh my ......

[Double Down]

Hey, the Cardinals remembered how to kick the ball ...

[BlackLantern]

it's like the opposing team forgets that Larry Fitzgerald is out there....

[rdh007]

Kurt Warner looks different to me. It's his mouth. I think he got dentures or caps or something.

[Matt]

That flea flicker is exactly why the Cardinals are the scariest offense in football. Aside from having an amazing quarterback (who can still throw 60 yard bombs in his late 30s), the best receiving squad in the NFL, and a great veteran QB accompanied by an outstanding rookie, they also have the trickiest head coach in the NFL when it comes to offense. Big tricks plays like that won the Super Bowl for the Steelers in 2005. Wisenhunt is not a coach that should be taken lightly.

Unfortunately, penalties are killed the Cardinals. They get a huge stop, only to have it taken away from then, followed up by a massive run. I mean, really? Two DEFENSIVE holding calls? I admit that last one but the first one was crap. I guess since the NFL can't have their Manning Brother Superbowl they want their PA Turnpike Bowl.

[Hunter Rider]

The 2nd TD play for Arizona was awesome, Fitzgerald is a hell of an athlete.

Curtis burst of speed has put the Eagles in with a TD chance here.

[Kaleb]

http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z4/norman_elias/commissioner-norvon.jpg

Inspector Norv is on the case looking for the Eagles D

[Matt]

Then again, the Cards just got really lucky to not have a pass interference call against them.

[Dr. Evil]

FG by Green Akers is good.

[Mister J]

Brown got away with one.

[Matt]

The 2nd TD play for Arizona was awesome, Fitzgerald is a hell of an athlete.

Curtis burst of speed has put the Eagles in with a TD chance here.

Remember though, it is not just Fitzgerald. I admit, he is a beast, and currently the best wide receiver in the NFL. But don't sell Warner short on that play. You have a 37 year old man making that 60 war throw.

[Matt]

Brown got away with one.

Yeah, he did. Never-the-less...that first defensive holding call was ****. That is the nature of professional football. Sometimes you get a bad call against you. Some times you get one in your favor. Just gotta suck it up and take it.

[Dr. Evil]

I still think that the Super Bowl will come down to a referee screw up.

[Kaleb]

I still think that the Super Bowl will come down to a referee screw up. thats not suprising since its going to be the same officials will who did the Ravens Titans game.

[vindrow]

Looks like the Iggles are sleepwalking through this game.

[Mister J]

Excellent call on that screen right there. You need stuff like that against Johnson's blitz.

[Double Down]

That toss to Pope was a great call. Everyone in the world thought it was going to be a swing-out to the left.

[Matt]

Looks like the Iggles are sleepwalking through this game.

Give a lot of credit to Warner and the Cardinals defense. Their defense may be making mistakes, but they are holding when it counts. And Warner...he is showing tremendous composure in light of this Philly defense.

[Double Down]

Looks like the Iggles are sleepwalking through this game.

Actually, they are just getting out-played.

[BlackLantern]

the NFL front office is probably crapping themselves with the possibility of Arizona in the SB.....

[The Game]

Live by the blitz, die by the blitz

Iggles are just getting bashed now

[Mister J]

So, that's Fitzgerald guy is pretty good, huh?

Sheldon Brown was just outclassed there.

[Dr. Evil]

Fitzgerald again!

[Double Down]

Warner to Fitz can't be stopped.

[Dr. Evil]

PEREIRA RETIRING

Posted by Mike Florio on January 18, 2009, 2:20 p.m.
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that NFL V.P. of officiating Mike Pereira informed Commissioner Roger Goodell earlier in the season that Pereira is retiring.
Per Glazer, Pereira will spend one more year on the job to assist the transition.
Pereira has held the position since 2001. Glazer reports that the decision is not the result of the perception and/or reality of increased officiating blunders in 2008.
Pereira has been extremely visible and accessible, explaining NFL rules and their application via NFL Network and various radio appearances. Though there have been hints of a hard-core company man in some of his explanations, he has been willing to admit officiating mistakes from time to time.
It’s easy to complain about the folks who currently hold a high-profile job that naturally attracts scrutiny and criticism, but the NFL in our view will be hard pressed to find someone better than Pereira.
Our only hope is that Pereira’s successor isn’t Ed Hochuli. Though he’s capable, he’s more long winded than an alligator with gas.

[Dark Donnie]

Give a lot of credit to Warner and the Cardinals defense. Their defense may be making mistakes, but they are holding when it counts. And Warner...he is showing tremendous composure in light of this Philly defense.
Eagles just aren't capitalizing on offense....couple that with Samuel who is noticeably hurting.

[Cmill216]

Not surprised.

[FaT_tONle]

Jim Johnson has been taken back out to the woodshed... damn... you gotto love these Trashgles choking like this... hopefully its a blowout...

[Kaleb]

theres something new , fitz has another td

[NewYorkSpider]

That should be Arizona's ball.

[Double Down]

That should be Arizona's ball.

100% true.

[StorminNorman]

I like Arizona.

I like Arizona in a blow out.

I think Philadelphia is the least impressive team in the playoffs playing the most impressive team with the swagger and assumption they are the better team.

Also this should be Cardinals ball.

[Dr. Evil]

Philly Ball.

[Dark Donnie]

Definitely hit his forearm

[StorminNorman]

This is why NFL Replay is an absolute joke.

[Matt]

Eagles just aren't capitalizing on offense....couple that with Samuel who is noticeably hurting.

Come on Donnie, no excuses. The Eagles are catching a lot of breaks and the Arizona D is still shutting them down. Arizona is playing like the better team today, so far. That said. There is a lot of football to be played.

Its not reviewable? WTF!?! Since when is spot of the ball not reviewable?!? I expect an NFL apology.

[Dark Donnie]

Jim Johnson has been taken back out to the woodshed... damn... you gotto love these Trashgles choking like this... hopefully its a blowout...

Where's your team?

[BlackLantern]

Whisenhunt was my choice for COTY....I want them to destroy the Eagles....like Schillinger on Tobias style....

[Double Down]

It's time for a turnover (the ball don't lie).

[Matt]

This is why NFL Replay is an absolute joke.

This is why NFL officials are a joke. That was a HORRIBLE call.

[Dark Donnie]

His foot was on the line and the ball hit his forearm

[Dr. Evil]

Come on Donnie, no excuses. The Eagles are catching a lot of breaks and the Arizona D is still shutting them down. Arizona is playing like the better team today, so far. That said. There is a lot of football to be played.

Its not reviewable? WTF!?! Since when is spot of the ball not reviewable?!? I expect an NFL apology.

The Head of Officiating will defend the call on NFL Network.

[The Chris]

I think all plays should be reviewable. Cause of bad judgment calls like that.

[Dr. Evil]

NFL Referees = WWE Referees

[Addendum]

Its not reviewable? WTF!?! Since when is spot of the ball not reviewable?!? I expect an NFL apology.
Arizona wasn't challenging the spot of the ball. They were challenging the rule on the field that it was Eagles ball. However, since it was blown dead, it's not reviewable. The NFL doesn't have to apologize for anything regarding that play

[NewYorkSpider]

Jim Johnson has been taken back out to the woodshed... damn... you gotto love these Trashgles choking like this... hopefully its a blowout...

I thought you told me that I should root for Arizona to make my team look good? The Eagles getting blown out by the Cardinals makes the Cowboys look like an absolute joke.

[StorminNorman]

This is why NFL officials are a joke. That was a HORRIBLE call.


True but that is why Replay exists. Its great the NFL gave us replay, but the NCAA has shown how flawed the pro's system is. The NFL should move to the college system where every play is reviewed and everything should be reviewable. Instant Replay's goal should be to make sure the right call is made.

[Dr. Evil]

Arizona wasn't challenging the spot of the ball. They were challenging the rule on the field that it was Eagles ball. However, since it was blown dead, it's not reviewable. The NFL doesn't have to apologize for anything regarding that play

Still, though, the NFL needs to fix it's officiating. The fact that Major League Baseball and the NBA have better officiating then the number 1 sport in all of America is sad.

[Addendum]

But even if it wasn't blown dead, was there sufficient evidence to overturn the call on the field?

[StorminNorman]

Arizona wasn't challenging the spot of the ball. They were challenging the rule on the field that it was Eagles ball. However, since it was blown dead, it's not reviewable. The NFL doesn't have to apologize for anything regarding that play


Except for the fact that...you know...it was the wrong call. :huh:

[StorminNorman]

But even if it wasn't blown dead, was there sufficient evidence to overturn the call on the field?


Yes. It was obvious that the ball hit in bounds by inches.

[Double Down]

McNabb seemingly goes to Avant on every third down play every time I watch the Eagles play.

[Addendum]

No it wasn't. The ball went out of bounds, bounced back and hit the dude on the forearm. Where is the evidence to overturn the call?

[StorminNorman]

His foot was on the line and the ball hit his forearm
Incorrect.

[StorminNorman]

No it wasn't. The ball went out of bounds, bounced back and hit the dude on the forearm. Where is the evidence to overturn the call?


Except for the fact the ball never went out of bounds. Never, ever went out of bounds.

[Dark Donnie]

McNabb seemingly goes to Avant on every third down play every time I watch the Eagles play.

Avant is more or less the TE on this team...he's one of the more sure handed WR's

Except for the fact the ball never went out of bounds. Never, ever went out of bounds.

but it hit his forearm when his foot was out of bounds.

[The Chris]

The Eagles are very stupid. Why hit him? He's not going to get scared over stupidity

[Addendum]

I saw the replay. It was out of bounds. But even then, that call doesn't change the flow of the game.

[Mister J]

Christ, that was bush league. :down

[NewYorkSpider]

That was uncalled for.

[Double Down]

Avant is more or less the TE on this team...he's one of the more sure handed WR's

He's a good third down guy.


That catch won't count.

[StorminNorman]

Eagles are playing thugish classless ball.

[BlackLantern]

Will Demps is a dumba$$ for that....Philly is just getting frustrated now....

[StorminNorman]

I really hope Arizona can put the nail in the coffin by scoring before the half.

[StorminNorman]

Will Demps is a dumba$$ for that....Philly is just getting frustrated now....


That play combined with DeShaun Jackson being on the sidelines with his head down in defeat indicate that the Eagles are no longer mentally in this game.

[vindrow]

Give a lot of credit to Warner and the Cardinals defense. Their defense may be making mistakes, but they are holding when it counts. And Warner...he is showing tremendous composure in light of this Philly defense.


Not taking anything away from the Cards they are playing a very good game, but look at how the Iggles are playing in this game and compare to last week..definatly not the same team..it looks like they prepared for a different team, and now that they are down and getting beat they are playing like thugs out there.

[Mister J]

What are the odds that, if Arizona chooses to pass, Fitzgerald is wide ass open?

edit: Not Fitz, but still a 1st.

[The Game]

Stop blitzing!!!!!!!

[Matt]

Not taking anything away from the Cards they are playing a very good game, but look at how the Iggles are playing in this game and compare to last week..definatly not the same team..it looks like they prepared for a different team, and now that they are down and getting beat they are playing like thugs out there.

It is, as I believe Norman, said would happen. The Eagles are buying into their own hype. The expected to go into University of Phoenix stadium, play the same Cardinals they played in November and rip Arizona apart. They were wrong.

[StorminNorman]

Not taking anything away from the Cards they are playing a very good game, but look at how the Iggles are playing in this game and compare to last week..definatly not the same team..it looks like they prepared for a different team, and now that they are down and getting beat they are playing like thugs out there.


Its also possibile that the fact that this Arizona team is playing significantly better football than either Minnesota or New York.

[Matt]

So, between this week and last how many teams are now wishing they interviewed Todd Haley?

[The Game]

Hey a blitz finally worked

[Double Down]

Not taking anything away from the Cards they are playing a very good game, but look at how the Iggles are playing in this game and compare to last week..definatly not the same team..it looks like they prepared for a different team, and now that they are down and getting beat they are playing like thugs out there.

It's getting ridiculous how people keep refusing to give the Cards credit.

[Double Down]

24-6. I'll take it.

[BlackLantern]

even the kicker looks good....49 yarder....I wonder what Andy Reid will have to say during halftime

[Cmill216]

Not taking anything away from the Cards they are playing a very good game, but look at how the Iggles are playing in this game and compare to last week..definatly not the same team..it looks like they prepared for a different team, and now that they are down and getting beat they are playing like thugs out there.

Actually, it's pretty simple:

Philadelphia's offense is extremely limited. They have no one to throw to that truly threatens a defense. None of their midget receivers scare the Cardinals, and Westbrook can only do but so much.

On the other hand, the Cardinals have the single most dominant offensive weapon in the playoffs in Fitzgerald, and a quarterback whose been here before. Not to mention, they're playing at home.

The Eagles are playing as well as they possibly can. They're simply playing a better team.

[vindrow]

It's getting ridiculous how people keep refusing to give the Cards credit.


Your right they are a bad team and don't deserve to be here...What I said has nothing to do with how the Cards are playing...I said that the Iggles are not playing they way they did last week, and that it looks like they didn't game plan for the Cards...so since I am talking about how bad the Iggles are playing, thats not giving credit to the Cards??

I don't have to give them credit..I believe they have proved themselves on how they have played in the playoffs so far.

[FaT_tONle]

All week long all we hear about is the Jim Johnson defense... it has been a joke thus far... and the Eagles appear on their way to their third blowout loss in the fifth time in the Championship... who would have scripted it?

[Cmill216]

I said that the Iggles are not playing they way they did last week

You can only play as well as your opponent allows you to.

[Double Down]

You can only play as well as your opponent allows you to.

Well said.

[Caped Crusader]

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

[SuperJediHero]

Dolphins WANT Larry!!!

[Caped Crusader]

I'm enjoying this.

[Caped Crusader]

Arizona ball!!

[Double Down]

That was huge.

[BlackLantern]

McNabb had some Chunky Soup on his hands from halftime....makes the ball slippery....

[Double Down]

Even though the Eagles would have had to punt anyway, it just keeps the momentum going for the Cards.

[Dark Donnie]

What are you gonna do....are team played like **** today.

[Double Down]

What are you gonna do....are team played like **** today.

Past tense already?

[Caped Crusader]

McNabb had some Chunky Soup on his hands from halftime....makes the ball slippery....

:funny::funny:

[Dark Donnie]

Past tense already?

It was over when we got down 21-6. The offense hasn't done anything all playoffs. The defense has just been mauling people...that how we've been winning. I don't know if we can generate enough points to get back in this game.

[NewYorkSpider]

I remember when everyone said the Panthers/Patriots Super Bowl wasn't very appealing. That Super Bowl went on to be very exciting. If Arizona gets to the Super Bowl against either Baltimore/Pittsburgh( #1 and 2 defense), then it could be just as exciting.

[Caped Crusader]

Cardinals vs Ravens would be fun IMO

[The Game]

Cardinals vs Ravens would be fun IMO

Roger Goodell weeps

[Captain Planet!]

The Cardinals/Eagles game was just sad.

[StorminNorman]

Arizona can light up Baltimore's defense - their weakness is the long ball.

[BlackLantern]

Id like Cards/Ravens....as long as Philly is out of it, Im good with that....

[Caped Crusader]

As long as its not the Eagles. :)

[NewYorkSpider]

Great catch by Curtis.

[The Game]

damn...................

[Mister J]

The Cardinals have done a masterful job not only handling the blitz, but bringing their own as well.

[Captain Planet!]

Philly teams are boring to me. Both the Eagles and Phillies aren't very exciting, IMO.

[Caped Crusader]

Philly teams are boring to me. Both the Eagles and Phillies aren't very exciting, IMO.

agree, add the 76ers too

[Dark Donnie]

agree, add the 76ers too

Thank you for your words of wisdom

[Caped Crusader]

Thank you for your words of wisdom

o anytime.

[Captain Planet!]

I mean, no offense to Philly fans or anything, but they just aren't as exciting to me as other teams.

[Double Down]

So, between this week and last how many teams are now wishing they interviewed Todd Haley?

From Rotoworld.com:

Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley could reportedly be a candidate to be the Chiefs' next head coach.

Haley worked for new GM Scott Pioli's father-in-law in Dallas and has done an excellent job in Arizona, especially in terms of late-season adjustments. However, the Chiefs couldn't hire Haley until the Cardinals are done playing.

[Spiderine]

Curtis is havin a hell of a game for Philly.

[Kaleb]

I will laugh my ass off if the Cards begin to choke.

[Matt]

The Eagles are coming alive. They really do play better as the underdogs. Looks like the slap in the face that was the first half may have been just what they needed...but was it too late?

[NewYorkSpider]

I heard Bill Cowher could be a canidate for the Chiefs job if Edwards is fired next season.

[Dark Donnie]

I mean, no offense to Philly fans or anything, but they just aren't as exciting to me as other teams.

oh I know I took no offense....aside from this defense the offense has been exciting in spurts at the most.

[Dark Donnie]

Might have spoke to soon DoubleDown lol knock on wood....Celek having a game

Nice kick Akers :up:

[Kaleb]

Cards have begun to wonder what the hell they are doing in the playoffs.

[Matt]

Akers just missed an extra point :wow: I wonder if that is his way of saying F-you to Reid after his treatment of him following the last kick off?

[Dark Donnie]

that Baskett block :eek:

[NewYorkSpider]

Kurt Warner passes to Kurt Warner for 3 yds.

[Mister J]

that Baskett block :eek:
That was pretty nasty.

[Shemtov]

Eagles could win this! :wow:

[Matt]

Warner is getting frustrated. Arizona needs either a 3 and out, or an interception or fumble here to get momentum back on their side.

[Spiderine]

Philly has awakened.

[The Game]

Touchddddoooooooooooooooooooooown

[Bunker]

The Eagles are going to win.

[Spiderine]

OMG did u see that. Holy S***

[NewYorkSpider]

What a ****ing unbelievable catch.

[Addendum]

Holy ****! What a catch

[Kaleb]

booom!!!!!

[The Game]

Don of them is back

[Spiderine]

The Cards cant get any pressure on Mcnabb. He had all day to throw that.

[Dark Donnie]

:eek:

The offense has come alive...best game all playoffs for them offensively.

[Kargo Warrior]

What a pass!!!

Amazing comeback from the Eagles!!

[Dark Donnie]

Nice dirty bird by Jackson

[The Guardian]

WOW, what a comeback!!!:eek:

[vindrow]

I will laugh my ass off if the Cards begin to choke.



Hehe....From your lips to Whisenhunt's ears.

[Shemtov]

Fly Eagles Fly.
On the road to victory.
Fly,Eagles Fly. Score a touchdown. 1,2,3.
Hit'em low. Hit'em high.
And watch The Cardinals Cry!
Fly Eagles Fly. On the road to victory.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

[Kaleb]

I haven't seen a momentum shift like this in years - maybe that 93 playoff game between the Bills and Oilers.

[Matt]

Now the question is, will it shift back?

[Double Down]

That was a terrific call on fourth.

[Matt]

Like I said, Kurt Whisenhunt is the best offensive coach in the league right now. So now Arizona is well within field goal. Can they score the TD and can their defense finally make a stop?

[Matt]

Arizona has to try for the two if they get the TD.

[Double Down]

Arizona has to try for the two if they get the TD.

First, they have to try for the touchdown. It seems like they are settling for a field goal. There is too much time left to settle for a 2-point lead.

[Double Down]

Fantastic!

[The Game]

what a finish

[StorminNorman]

This drive may be more impressive than the entire first half.

This is Arizona doing what they have never done this year - taking it on the chin and not falling apart.

[Matt]

Two points are good! Now can the defense play like they did in the first half now that momentum is back on their side?

[Matt]

This drive may be more impressive than the entire first half.

This is Arizona doing what they have never done this year - taking it on the chin and not falling apart.

The Cardinals aren't, who Norm thought they are!"

[Double Down]

Warner, Hightower and Fitzgerald came up big in the clutch. Now it's up to the defense and the crowd.

[Mister J]

Great execution o the 3rd down TD and the 2-point. The Cards' offense showed a lot of desire on that drive.

[Dr. Evil]

Defense needs to stop Philly here.

[The Game]

This is it Don-of-Them now or never

[Matt]

This is why football is the most exciting game in the world. 3 minutes left, one TD difference. The Eagles score and the NFC championship is in overtime. The Cardinals hold them and the under dogs of the century go to the Super Bowl. Its enough to make your heart stop.

[Kaleb]

d6wRkzCW5qIAndy Reid proberbly gave them this ol speech during half time

[Kaleb]

I wonder if Mcnabb will start getting sick again.

[Matt]

This is it Don-of-Them now or never

Is that really his nickname in Philly? Crickey, that is worse than Fast Willie for Parker. Don-of-Them is truly the worst nickname I've heard in the history of professional sports.

[Bunker]

That missed extra point was huge.

[SuperJediHero]

Crowd is LOUD!!!

Of course Greg Kinnear would have to play Dick Vermeil.

[Matt]

This is it, play of the game after the 2 minute warning. Forget the missed extra point. Forget the interception/fumble. It all comes down to this one play.

[Dark Donnie]

Is that really his nickname in Philly? Crickey, that is worse than Fast Willie for Parker. Don-of-Them is truly the worst nickname I've heard in the history of professional sports.

That's not his nickname, and no one in Philly probably ever thought of calling him that.:cmad:


That's like the third pass that's been behind Baskett.

[The Game]

is that really his nickname in philly? Crickey, that is worse than fast willie for parker. Don-of-them is truly the worst nickname i've heard in the history of professional sports.

Woody Harrelson for Ken Whisenhunt. The two were practically seperated at birth :wow:

[kane9321]

PI?...grrrr

[Double Down]

Holy .... !!!!

[Matt]

McNabb got sick again and the Arizona Cardinals are going to their first Super Bowl! :wow:

[Dark Donnie]

tackled there...terrible call

Good game Cards

[The Game]

Thats it folks, Cardinals in the SB, who knew

[Dr. Evil]

Wow!

[SuperJediHero]

Where is the Booth review?

[kane9321]

I want a pi call

[BlackLantern]

McNabb is bent over for his pre puke stance....maybe this is the beginning of the end for Donovan in Philadelphia

[Matt]

Where is the Booth review?

You can't review a call that wasn't made. You get some bad calls in your favor and you have some against you. Philly got both today. There probably should've been PI, but at the same time the Cards should've got that recovery earlier in the game as there is no way the ball went out. It just is the nature of the game.

[The Game]

Oh damn Iggles should have got the call, but Curtis messed up

[Matt]

McNabb is bent over for his pre puke stance....maybe this is the beginning of the end for Donovan in Philadelphia

I'd say Akers has the biggest risk of being booted (pun intended :cwink:).

[Dr. Evil]

The question is:

Can Arizona complete the dream season and be World Champions?

[Dark Donnie]

You can't review a call that wasn't made. You get some bad calls in your favor and you have some against you. Philly got both today. There probably should've been PI, but at the same time the Cards should've got that recovery earlier in the game as there is no way the ball went out. It just is the nature of the game.

The ball went off his forearm, when his foot was on the out of bounds line. The rule is the ball is out.

Didn't look like it touched him to me. Aikman and Buck didn't seem to think so either.

God, I HATE NFL rules!!!

[rdh007]

The Eagles should dump McNabb.

So he can end up in Minnesota.

[Dark Donnie]

Didn't look like it touched him to me. Aikman and Buck didn't seem to think so either.

Look at it on Sports Center later

[Matt]

Oh damn Iggles should have got the call, but Curtis messed up

I'm actually not entirely, 100 % sure. It seemed to me that his arm slid off his leg as he fell, but he didn't grab the leg. I'm not sure it was PI.

[StorminNorman]

tackled there...terrible call

Good game Cards


A make up call for the non-onside kick.

[Dr. Evil]

Whisenhunt > God

[NewYorkSpider]

Congrats to the Arizona Cardinals.

edit: The debate of Kurt Warner being a Hall of Famer has ended.

[Dark Donnie]

Joe Buck would have killed himself if The Eagles had won.

[Dark Donnie]

A make up call for the non-onside kick.

Not worth arguing with you.....watch sports center it the ball hit his forearm when his foot was on the line.

[BlackLantern]

We need the GIF of Ace Ventura humping air....with the caption "How do you like that, Philly???"

[Matt]

God, I HATE NFL rules!!!

That is actually something I like. Otherwise every other play would be second guessing the ref.

Also, did anyone catch Reid's brief hand shake then rushing off the field? That was border-line Bellichik in last year's Super Bowl. Reid is a class-less guy.

[Erzengel]

The Eagles should dump McNabb.

So he can end up in Minnesota.

Reid gone and McNabb to the Vikings. I wouldn't be surprised.

[Dr. Evil]

I am watching the Super Bowl for one reason:

- To see if Arizona can finish the dream season with a championship.

As a Cowboys fan, I don't have a problem with Arizona trying to go for their first Super Bowl.

[Cmill216]

Congrats, Cardinals fans!

All four of you!

[Dark Donnie]

We need the GIF of Ace Venture humping air....with the caption "How do you like that, Philly???"

You have serious issues

[StorminNorman]

I haven't felt this good about an NFL game in quite a while.

Seeing Adrien Wilson with tears was very touching.

[Shemtov]

i'm sort of sad......but hey, the Eagles almost didnt make it to the playoffs. the fact that they did- thats enough for me!

[Matt]

The question is:

Can Arizona complete the dream season and be World Champions?

I'm a Steelers fan...and I almost want to see it happen.

[Kaleb]

wow Congrats cardinal fans, its truely been an awesome yr for you all.

[Mister J]

The Cards are going to the Bowl! :eek:

Good story. I'm glad for Kurt.

...and the three players from The U. :o

[The Game]

I'm actually not entirely, 100 % sure. It seemed to me that his arm slid off his leg as he fell, but he didn't grab the leg. I'm not sure it was PI.

I need to see it from a different angle

[Dark Donnie]

Ried gone and McNabb to the Vikings. I wouldn't be surprised.

Neither will happen. Reid just took an under achieving team to the NFC Championship. If anything he'll have to relinquish some duties. McNabb has an option that The Eagles will pick up.

[SuperJediHero]

IMO, Game should be 100% Fair, no matter what it takes!

[The Guardian]

WOW, congrats to Arizona and the Cardinals, I'm officially rooting for them to win the BIG ONE, go getem guys you deserve it!!!:D:up:

[Bond]

So whose score was the closest? I came within like, 3 points.

I didn't see the hand shake but I know Reid is a class guy. I don't blame him for wanting to get off the field and let Wisenhunt celebrate.

[Matt]

I haven't felt this good about an NFL game in quite a while.

Seeing Adrien Wilson with tears was very touching.

Me too. It was touching to watch that celebration. From Wilson's tears to Whisenhunt and Warner's hug. It was a great win. Plus, its nice to see the underdogs win after hearing all week about how its Philly's time.

[Shemtov]

Neither will happen. Reid just took an under achieving team to the NFC Championship. If anything he'll have to relinquish some duties. McNabb has an option that The Eagles will pick up.
This is why i'm happy with the fact that the eagles made it to the post-season. thats enough for me!

[Hotwire]

We need the GIF of Ace Ventura humping air....with the caption "How do you like that, Philly???"
Ask and yee shall receive.

Can you feel that!!



And for the record, on Aker's missed extra point, THE LACES WERE IN!!!

[Double Down]

I don't think you will ever meet a bigger Kurt Warner fan than me. I am so unbelievably happy right now that I can't even express it.

[BlackLantern]

You have serious issues

My hate for Philadelphia is like 12 angry wolverines thrown into a tiny, tiny cage with nothing to eat but a fat squirrel (Philly being the squirrel)

[The Game]

Why was Samuel smiling so much, HIS TEAM JUST LOST. I wonder if Cardinals can get it done against an AFC team

[Dark Donnie]

Enough already Matt with that classless talk your just reaching now. What did you want, Reid to give him an HJ at mid field? The place was a mad house afterwards.

[Matt]

I need to see it from a different angle

Yeah, I was sold on PI until they showed the angle from the field instead of the sideline. The defender tripped and his arm barely rubbed against Jackson's leg as he was sticking his arms out to break his fall. Jackson tripped over his own feet it seemed.

IMO, Game should be 100% Fair, no matter what it takes!

That is impossible.

[Dark Donnie]

Congrats to the Arizona Cardinals.

edit: The debate of Kurt Warner being a Hall of Famer has ended.

He was a lock before this...he's first ballot now.

[Shemtov]

Can we talk about the AFCCG? all this "Eagles lost" talk depresses me.

[BlackLantern]

Thank you Mal....so much

[Matt]

Enough already Matt with that classless talk your just reaching now. What did you want, Reid to give him an HJ at mid field? The place was a mad house afterwards.

No, but a nice hand shake and a few words of congratulations are in order. Barely touching his hand then running off is hardly good sportsmanship.

I see Baltimore winning personally.

[kane9321]

I feel the same way towards DALLAS, NY GIANTS, & OAKLAND

Arizona Picks:

Double Down - 31-24

Nice.

[Hotwire]

Thank you Mal....so much
No problem. Did you catch the Ray Finkle refference?

[BlackLantern]

Enough already Matt with that classless talk your just reaching now. What did you want, Reid to give him an HJ at mid field? The place was a mad house afterwards.

No....maybe just a quick ball cupping....

[kane9321]

Mcnabb to chicago or minnesota in the offseason

[Double Down]

Nice.

:up:

[Kaleb]

Great Scene with Adrian Wilson with the trophy

[Matt]

With his extra point, DD should be in the lead or at least tied. Congrats, man :woot:

[Holiday]

Enough already Matt with that classless talk your just reaching now. What did you want, Reid to give him an HJ at mid field? The place was a mad house afterwards.

:funny: That is gold.


Also, I'm all for wearing your team colors but that red blazer dude was wearing is tacky.

[Addendum]

He shook his hand and left the field. Who ****ing cares?!

[BlackLantern]

I said a few days ago that Kurt actually has the Jesus on his side....and you don't **** with the Jesus....

[The Game]

Cardinals are in the Superbowl wow just wow

LOL @ the Zona fans not caring about Leinart

[Matt]

He shook his hand and left the field. Who ****ing cares?!


That's right, only when Belichik does it, is it a big deal.

[Shemtov]

I Just want the Cards Beat :revenge:

[kane9321]

I laughed so hard water came outta my nose:woot:

Sometimes you have to shake your head at the double standards

[Kaleb]

I hope the unibrow bomber/bazooka joe/joe cool wreaks havok on the steelers secondary.

[Addendum]

I didn't care about that either, so there isn't a double standard in my view
