Re: AFC/NFC Championship game thread
Warner did a good job, but people forget they've had that offense all along. Some changes this year have been I would say an improvement on their offensive line and a bit of an improvement in their running game. The biggest thing during the playoffs has been their defense coming up big, I think that has caught a lot of people off guard.
McNabb also did a good job in the playoffs against the Giants. The Cards defense just step it up and I don't think the Iggles had the offense to keep up with the Cards. I know we hate the Iggles, but don't disregard the fact that they actually made it to playoffs and made it past the first round.
A lot of people are touting Fitzgerald, yet the only way we would have gotten a player like him this past offseason would have been through a trade. Something like this would have set off a whine-fest, with the typical line "we need to build through the draft". Honestly, we don't need a player like Fitz, if we don't have an offensive line that allows our QB. Besides, the Cards have gotten the same production out of Fitz and Boldin in previous seasons, but have not had the defense to help them win games.
Finally, not to take away from the Cards, but they also were in the weakest division. They did a helluva job in the playoffs, beating the Falcons and the Panthers. I just feel that they had an easier job getting there.
