    Pass Interference on Hood?

    Could've been called, IMO. Wasn't, and similar calls often aren't. Even if it had been, the odds were very much against the Eagles, and there was plenty of stuff earlier that could've gone the other way too. Won't stop the bitching. Bucs fans are still carping about the Bert Emanuel...

    A word of praise for Leinart.

    On the other hand, he knows very well that that stuff can go wrong pretty quick. There's no guaranteed swan song in the NFL... you can get Joe Theismanned at any time. That said, I think his odds of putting up another great season if he comes back are pretty darned good. They mostly did a...

    Super Cardinals

    Something I don't think is getting enough attention... They managed the clock beautifully at the end of the first half. They ran the play on third down with enough time to make the play, get a run after the catch and make it makeable FG, but took enough time off to mean that even an...

    From a Steeler fan _ I hate you!!

    The other day I caught myself referring to the Rams' chances in the NFC Championship game. Got some funny looks.

    A word of praise for Leinart.

    With the controversy over Boldin's actions and attitude, I'd like to point out a couple of observations. After the offense scored the two-point conversion to go up by seven, when Warner came to the sidelines, Matt Leinart was there greeting him with an enthusiastic hug and thump on the back...

    Steeler Fan Stopping In. . .

    It's a very good board. Very much worth sticking around for the football talk. It was one of my favorite places for last year's offseason discussions because of the knowledgeable fans and general lack of terrible behavior.

    "The Drive"

    Kind of odd... watching the drive I felt like it was more due to running than passing because it chewed so much clock, but I see looking at the play-by-play data that there were no incompletions and 56 of the 72 yards came through the air. Interesting.

    WOW! Just WOW!

    Perloff is a tool. He's incapable of writing anything without slamming somebody. Unfortunately, that's what passes for sports journalism much of the time. Say something controversial, and get attention. That "Book the Eagles for Tampa" article that got so much hate here? A success, as far...

    QB Salaries and bonuses for making the Superbowl

    So, FTA: $1.5M from the regular season bonuses. Already earned. $1.5M for making the NFC championship. Already earned. $500K for winning the NFC championship. Already earned. $500K for winning the Super Bowl. Possible. So he's got $3.5M in bonuses already with a possibility of $500K more.

    Subliminal message by Boldin?

    Also, how long it takes to recover from it depends heavily on how badly it's strained. Every hamstring injury isn't magically the same severity with the same recovery period. I think Boldin behaved like a jerk too, but let this go on long enough and someone will post that they saw him on the...

    So this just dawned on me.. This will basically be a Steelers home game.

    Yup. Stadium tends to be fairly quiet no matter who is playing or where it is.

    Anquan Article from CBS Sportsline

    Another difference is that Warner and Haley weren't having a heated exchange while Haley was actively trying to call plays... it was after the offense was off the field. Like it or not, (and I don't) the thing with Boldin is a totally different situation.

    We're going to the Superbowl

    Your props have arrived. Take them.

    You gotta be kidding me!

    After the regular season ended, I went through and simmed every game to match the result from reality... I intended to then sim after the playoffs so they matched as well, and then start a new franchise to play through the offseason. I went ahead and simmed the playoffs to see what happened...

    So Eagles fans?

    At least two of them have been here making very classy posts about the game. I give them very great credit for doing so.

    And now we wait.

    Bah. Is there a way you'd prefer to be feeling for the next two weeks? :D

    Kurt Warner vs. Craig Morton

    Welp, it's a done deal now. He's also, I believe, the 2nd Super Bowl winning QB to get a different team as far as the conference championship, Joe Montana being the other. And, as the postgame show mentioned, he'll be the third oldest starting QB, trailing only Elway and Unitas.

    Congratulations

    Your guys played a whale of a game.

    I've been a Cardinal fan. . .

    No doubt. Anybody who has rooted for this team through the thin years, my hat is off to you. I said, way back, that I hoped you guys would get a season as awesome as I had watching my Rams in 1999. It's been incredible, and thanks for letting me talk football with all of you and share it...

    Can you say Super Bowl?

    Yes I can. Always could, really. But now I can say "The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl" and not be lying. That's new.

    No pass rush. Bunch of guys standing up and pushing a little. Not actually attempting to rush the passer. This is a full-on meltdown.

    No blocking. No pass rush. No coverage.

    Worse. Negative 5 yards. And then a crappy punt.
