AFC/NFC Championship game thread

I been saying this since the playoff's that the Card's were going, but maybe all of you out there who think that we need an elite line to be dominant, No look no futher than having an elite WR (Larry Fitzgerald) is the kind of WR that change games, he is now my new favorite WR. Go Cards!

Un Fking believable!

I don't think anyone said we need an "elite" line, just a younger, healthier line capable of consistent pass protection really.

Don't forget the Cardinals have an amazing O-line coach in Russ Grimm, and he's doing a great job with those guys, who have in large part been healthy all season.

Wow, Fitzgerald is your new favorite WR? Go Cards? What happened to the Falcons? You were touting them a few weeks ago. Bandwagon much? If Fitzgerald gets shut down in the SuperBowl and Santonio Holmes plays well for Pitt, I imagine you'll have a Steelers avatar and Holmes jersey....

LOL. Around here we call someone like that a Frontrunner. Only roots for the team that is in the front or doing well at the time. Changes teams whenever the tide changes.

Regarding the Cards:
1) Kurt Warner was very impressive in the way he handled the vaunted Eagles blitz. Especially in the first half Warner gave a clininc on how to be the blitz. The way he completed those short passes to his TE's & RB's right over the top, just out of the reach of the blitzing defenders. Those short passes over the middle turned into 10-20 yard gains.

2) The Cardinals defense was the biggest surprise of the entire 2008 playoffs. If they can get their injured players back for the Sb, they should make it a game.

Only thing im conserned about is when Boldin went off on Haley, i wonder how much of a distraction that could be, if any

It ended up being a positive thing because it shut Boldin up. I do not think Boldin was back on the field after that incident. Haley also yelled at Warner early in the game after the first int. Warner was hyped up and Haley told Warner to relax and come back to him later. It also seemed to work.
Haley called a great game.

Yeah he did, he made a grea plan on attacking the eagles blitzs, im sure he can do the same against pitts

The thing the Skins would still be missing is the QB. Warner knows how to get rid of the ball quickly and is a really accurate passer. The Skins dont have that yet at QB.

The Eagles had success yesterday in spite of DM. His inaccurate passing (he was terrible in the 1st half) killed a few drives in the 4th qtr that could have run more clock and set the Eagles up for more points. For the few great passes he threw he had way too many bad ones. I hate to say what team's QB he reminded me of yesterday so I wont say it.

I'm not sold on Jason Campbell after his regression in the second half of the season. But, he is our QB, and I hope - as I'm sure you do - that he develops into a Top 10 QB. I think his QB rating was 19th in 2008. We do need more consistency than that.

When did you say the Cards were going? I thought you were riding the Falcons bandwagon?

I wish we had a reciever like Larry Fitzgerald=[

So do 31 other teams. He's probably the best WR in the league right now.

I'm very happy we don't have to watch the putrid Eagles in the SB. Two weeks of hearing about McNabb and Reid would be enough to depress me really bad.

The eagles are a mediocre team that started playing above average for a couple weeks. McNabb is not a great QB. He's too streaky. You never know what your going to get. He's a good qb who makes his plays by his ability to scramble around. He can't consistently hit open recievers from the pocket.

Weren't some of us trying to put McNabb in the Hall of Fame six days ago?
