I dont know what it is but I am not even worried about the game. Its as if I know its already in the bag. Either that or I am just happy to get here and not worried about the outcome, glad just to be playing as far as one can play.

This is exactly the way I feel. Cardinals will win by 9 and everyone will be talking about how overrated Pittsburgh's defense is because they get to play in terrible weather all the time.

I'm in the same boat. I'm excited, but not anxious about the game at all.

Exactly. I was sweating bullets for the season opener against the 49ers. This is nothing by comparison. I'm not nervous at all. I fully expect us to do well against the Steelers.

I will admit I thought making the playoffs and winning a game was what we were capable of this year, at best, and about all I could expect . It's all been icing since the Falcons game. Although, it would've sucked to lose the NFC Championship after having an 18 point lead.

I completely agree!!! In fact I was sweating most of our games this year...yet I feel comfortable about this game. But I am sure when Sunday comes around we will all be anxious. Can't wait but the Cards have done us proud this year!!

I"m feeling the same way. I feel we have more talent than the Steelers. I felt the same way against the Eagles and it took long passes by Philly to even be in the game which we will not give up to Steelers. DRC is amazing and would be rookie of the year if he had stsrted from day one.

I'm always worried about the game. This one I feel relaxed. I'm sure that comes Sunday,and we are introduced, my eyes will swell up. I still can't believe that all the noise in the worls, along with about 400 million fans will be tuned in to watch our team. I'm so proud!

I went into the season thinking 9-7, and hoping it would be enough for a playoff berth. I now have 12 winning tapes to review in the off season, so, I'm largely satisfied. That said... I want number 13.

And, as to the question posed... I'm more than a little nervous about the outcome.

It's crazy...I feel the same way. As ridiculous as cheese's destiny stuff seemed to me at the beginning of the playoffs, I'm buying into it now. (Watch me ram my head into a wall sunday night)

Either way, we're playing on house money at this point...

There is only ONE game this weekend, and our Cardinals are playing in it.

Props to all of you. Butterflies officially started this morning. Come Sunday, I'll be a total wreck.

And if we should be comfortably ahead come 4th Qtr, I'll still be fighting the urge to not puke.

Go Cards!!!

I know what you mean. Normally I am a wreck about this time before the SB. I don't know if it's because it's the 7th time I am going through this or I think the steelers are that focused and won't be beat. It is a strange feeling. I just hope we have a game where the nobody gets hurt and the players leave it all out there on the field.

Maybe if we lose and I reflect during the offseason I will see this line of thinking but not right now. I can't tell you how disappointed I will be if we don't end up finishing this and getting a ring.

Saying that I am really not nervous either. I just like everythign I have read about the team this week and how strong their focus is. The more I read the more go back and forth but in the end its paralysis by analysis.

My cousin told me with the Seahawks in 05 from both a team and fan perspective it was an accomplished relief to make the Super Bowl and felt they had lived up their #1 status and would be back in the future. I just feel good about this team and feel like they are all playing like they will never get this opportunity again and are going to leave it all on the field.

I'm just ready for the game to start. I am tired of sucking at the rest of life because of this team the past month.

I'm not really worried either. I feel we beat an all around better team already in Philly. That was the game that most scared me. And to come back and beat them like we did gives me more confidence. Cards by 10+ and I think they'll take a quick lead of maybe 14 in the first quarter....
