2016 NFL Wild Card Round: Seahawks @ Vikings

Carrol's mom has to be named Rosemary, right?

 

[Russ Smith]

have not read the thread so apologize in advance if mentioned.

How in the hell did they NOT call linemen downfield on the bad snap pass to Lockett? on the replay there's 2 guys standing 5 yards downfield because it was supposed to be a screen. There are even a couple of Vikings players pointing at one of the lineman to make sure the ref sees it.

Epic choke by the kicker though I don't think the holder had time to spin that so the laces weren't out.

The Vikings play calls have been "head scratchers" all year. That ridiculous call with no time outs that allowed us to win, and that run by Peterson today. In that weather, under those conditions, one would think a run up the gut would be called for so the kick did not come from the hash mark. But I guess when the breaks go your way, they go your way.

Norv Turner has a history of conservative & playing that way. I prefer BA's approach of playing to win! If your gonna lose go out guns blazing!

Absolutely, great reference CB.

Heh. In the current US trends on Twitter, #LuciferIsComing is at the top followed by #SEAvsMIN.

Russ I feel your pain on the OL downfield, it's rarely called by refs for whatever reason. Last night I watch the Stealers run a screen pass & I kid you not 1 of them was 10 yards downfield upon the completion. They had to wait for him to get back to the huddle to calm the play

I scream it every week.

At the end of the day it's what's best for our cardinals that matter, and this result is favorable in our road to a championship!

Yep & have been saying so for 3 weeks now.

We avoid 1 of the 2 best NFC teams & play an inferior opponent at home that if the Cards perform like they have for most of the season, moves us on to with just 2 wins left to fulfill our dream!

Correct. Losing to the Seahawks in week 17 could be a blessing.

 

[nashman]

If nothing else it shows you how beatable the Hawks are, look at today and week 16 against the Rams. We all know the cards took the final week off and made Seattle look much much better than they are!

 

[sunsfan88]

God was a Seahawks fan today.

 

[Shaggy]

This win sucks, but its really good for the Cards honestly. They now will be playing against GB or Wash. Either team are beatable and Seattle and Carolina will be beating each other up. This to me is a win for the Cards.

Reminds me of Gary Anderson missing the 35 yarder in the '98 NFC Championship game and that was the first kick he missed ALL SEASON, imagine that

 

[NJCardFan]

Speaking of Vikings fan. Where is that Viking fan troll who was trolling the boards all week?

"We never get breaks. We've never got a break since I've been here, its always the other way around so I'm glad we got a break today" - Richard Sherman after beating Minnesota

Did he forget about the Packers-Seahawks playoff game from last season lol.

Yah that. There's also the Failmary against the Packers and so on.

There's also the blatant punch out of the endzone not called after Megatron fumbled at the goaline.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Just remember if/when we play the Hawks we have to beat the refs also. So it has to be a decisive win.

How many times do I have to say the refs have no vested interest in who wins.

It's called making excuses in case we lose.

Oh yes, there is that.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

I didn't say they had an interest, they just aren't fair to the Cardinals and in a playoff game I expect the same bias.

There is a long track record of this.

I'm not talking about the week to week stuff that guys blame the game on. I'm talking about key calls/non-calls that can determine the game.

You also said the MN-Sea game was rigged too. The track record you speak of is in your head, Bro.

If it wasn't for a missed facemask call on Mike Adams we might've been victim to one of the worst playoff chokes of all time. Can you imagine if the situations were flipped and we lost on a missed facemask against Kurt?

Bottom line is every fan base thinks they get screwed and the refs are against them.

Agreed.

The refs had nothing to do with today. Minnesota just choked.
