    Kurt Warner's play today?

    Honestly, I get a bit annoyed with the people who think Warner can do no wrong. But when there are people carping about a pass that went 50 yards in the air to a spot where Fitzgerald had a great shot at it and neither defender did, saying that it was just a jump-ball, or "got where it needed...

    Fire Clancy Pendergast.

    :rolleyes: I already said that I overreacted.

    Kurt Warner's play today?

    I wouldn't describe the INT pass as questionable. It was a fairly safe throw, really, not forced into coverage, not trying to do too much, or any of the stuff Warner is usually criticized for. It wasn't even significantly off-target. That turnover's on the receiver pretty much exclusively...

    How much are you pulling for the Eagles....

    I think either the Giants or Panthers will be very tough, and I don't know that the odds are that different against either. I'm rooting for the Eagles because I think they have quite a good chance of knocking off the Giants, which would mean a home NFC Championship game if the Cards do win in...

    Congrats Good Luck Next Round

    Don't let it rip your heart out. The Falcons have lots of reason for hope for the future. This is the first time you're going to see Matt Ryan in playoff football, not the last. Learning experience, and next time he'll be better.

    Fire Clancy Pendergast.

    Welp, probably an overreaction on my part, but honestly, I haven't seen anything that egregious with playing that far off of receivers in situations where it makes no sense since Todd Lyght in 2000 with the Rams.

    Fire Clancy Pendergast.

    Not contesting anything all the way down the field, including on the five yard line? How do you do that? How?

    Interesting take on the Singletary hiring

    Sure, and Elway played the best football of his life when well past his prime under Shanahan. Take out the Shanahan years, and Elway's legacy is completely different... he's the guy who put up a lot of numbers, but made a lot of mistakes and couldn't get a SB win. You don't think there's maybe...

    HC's Crennell, Mangini, & Marinelli fired

    I'm no Mangini fan, but his firing is a good example of the lesser degree of patience shown to quarterbacks and coaches in today's game. I think everybody would agree that there's a learning curve to those jobs, and experience is important, but guys are getting less of a chance to learn...

    Hello Arizona,,, How are you?

    If the Cardinals win, I will be happy about it. I will be a bit less happy, but still quite happy, that it means that you lost your money.

    2008 Nfl Mvp?

    Not fully recovered from surgery early, team struggled badly. As he rounded into form the team caught fire despite never having an efficient running game. I think the value of a fully functional Peyton Manning was pretty clearly demonstrated this season. Depite the fact that I voted for...

    Edge 100 yards!!!!

    I thought it was a good idea to bench James and see what Hightower could do because James wasn't doing very much. However, I thought it would have been a good idea to go back to him about three weeks earlier because Hightower clearly doesn't have it. I've got more hope for the playoffs with...

    Breaston 1000 yards!!!

    I guess they figured the franchise TD record was enough. :)

    2008 Nfl Mvp?

    Rivers or Manning. Either one deserves it, IMO.

    Warner earns bonus.

    No. It will go on next year's cap, sadly, unless something is going on that I'm not aware of. Bonus money is assigned to the cap based on whether or not it is considered to be "likely to be earned". (LTBE) Whether or not it's LTBE depends on the previous year's results. So, a bonus for...

    Cards '09 First Rounder will be Barry Sanders Jr!!!!!!!

    I'm curious as to how Johnson recruited Sanders, since he took over at Miami in 1984, and Barry's senior year of high school wasn't until 1985. And Sanders famously didn't play running back until his senior year. I don't think the math works.

    tom brady will never play again

    No, I'm not a medical professional. However, I'm basing my statement on what medical professionals had to say about the story at the time. So, let's put your non-M.D. status up against mine. Knife fight, to the death. My non-M.D. status fights dirty, though.

    how many of you have a crazy feeling that this is our year?

    Pretty much this. For the Cards to win in January on the road, it's going to take a game with a couple big-play offensive scores, and the defense coming up with several turnovers. It's certainly possible, what with the defense's ability to force turnovers. Cardinals 21, Giants 13, featuring a...

    tom brady will never play again

    We don't really know that much because the Pats have been so closemouthed about the injury. We pretty much know from the way the surgery was delayed that it was an MCL and ACL tear, with the complications of infection afterward that shouldn't have a significant effect on recovery since they...

    Cards '09 First Rounder will be Barry Sanders Jr!!!!!!!

    Different systems. The Lions did a lot of zone blocking with Barry, which played to his strengths, letting him choose the hole. The Cowboys did man blocking, which suited Emmitt and his downhill style. The tragedy of Barry's career isn't that he didn't get to play behind Dallas's line, it's...

    Y'know, I'm shocked Jeff Blake made it out of town without being drawn and quartered.

    Is something up with Warner...

    Ditto. I've tried to stay out of your way for awhile now because things went back and forth a little too much, but I always think your posts are worthwhile even when I disagree. :)

    Advice for Kurt Warner

    I'm to the point that I hope the guy wins the MVP, wins the Super Bowl, and retires in a blaze of glory, just so the threads will die.
