I probably won't last long in this room because I'm not a Cardinal fan but what makes it interesting is to hear what the Enemy has to say about an upcoming game. I get tired of hearing the same old stuff and its interesting what our opposition has to say.

Well, I'll give you something you probably haven't heard yet. If the refs allow Batiste to hold on every possession, the Seahawks will go home unhappy. If we get one of those crews that actually know what a hold is, we're going to have some very unhappy Cards fans on this board. Skelton isn't as bad as most of the national media make him out to be. He's still learning but he has good pocket presence and when he absolutely has to make the throws, he's pretty accurate. When he's throwing to Fitz or Floyd, he just needs to be in the ballpark.

There is a forum called Smack Shack. If you want to talk ****, go there, if you can't contain your smack on the Cardinals forum, leave.

You're welcome here if you can be an adult, but judging from what you have said so far, that's highly questionable.

I think we kick the Seahawks tail this week. UofP Stadium is one of the tougher venues to play in. Like Centurylink, it's one of the league leaders in opponent team false starts, which means it gets loud.

Remember your last game against us, you played against a Cardinals team starting our kick returner at RB and we beat you guys, making Pete Carroll finish his first two seasons as a loser.

Sucks that I will be in Afghanistan when the Cardinals come to Seattle to play. Cards fans I know up here say the Seahawks fans are total pushovers, talk smack and they back down.

As far as our defense. I see our secondary giving Larry Fitzgerald some fits some other WR on your offense might step it up. I've seen the Cardinals do it in the past. Beanie Wells will be there as usual. I'm really looking forward to this game

Your secondary can't stop Larry Fitz. Remember week 17, Richard Sherman got his ass handed to him by Fitz?

They only thing that stops Fitzgerald is our QB not throwing him the ball.

Never thought I'd utter these words but all things considered, I'd rather be in Seattle. Take care.

I agree the officiating has the potential to be a big factor in the game. They are putting the most qualified/best replacement refs in the highest profile games, which means we likely are getting one of the least experienced crews that they've got. Hope the game doesn't turn on a really bad call, even if it's in our favor!!

I think this game might be closer to what both of our fanbases think. I gotta admit our receiving corp is enough to do the job but with Golden Tate out we have to count on Sidney Rice, Doug Baldwin and Braylon Edwards to step up their game. Marshawn Lynch is going to be questionable so its day by day.

Anyone flying under the radar for Seattle you think is worth keeping an eye on?

Seattle is actually pretty cool, it's the rest of the state that sucks. 8 months of dreariness, cold, wet, fat chicks....yeah it's like the polar opposite of Arizona.

I was amazed at how much better looking the women were in Arizona. A woman who is a solid ten in Seattle, is a solid six in Arizona.

Thanks for your concern all!

I think it's going to be a very close game and I just have a hunch it might come down to a big special teams play either way.

Any game we win will be a close game. We don't have the offense to outscore anyone by too much.

Before we get any further with any discussions about football, I hope you welcome Enemy Bloggers on your site. Its nothing personal just business(football), its all supposed to be in fun. In our message boards we invite ENEMY BLOGGERS.

You have to, just so you have some people posting on your vacant forum...we are just fine in our mass of fans enjoying our paranoia and odd setbacks LOL

I doubt that it will turn on a bad call. It happens even with the NFL league refs but not too often. I think holding is going to be the big problem. The old story that you could call a hold on every play is correct. The regular refs have a pretty good feel for when that call should be made but judging by what I saw in the preseason, the replacement refs are less comfortable with that distinction. I think it's a safe bet they are going to either miss most of them or call way too many of them. If our preseason is any indication, they are most likely going to ignore all but the most egregious holds.
