Delhomme just said "FUDGE!!"

Jas_lov · 01-10-2009, 08:15 PM

Someone might wanna cover Larry Fitzgerald.

MikeVic · 01-10-2009, 08:17 PM

I was just gonna post that Jas haha. Maybe cover the guy? Fun game!

Yeah...with no Boldin there is no excuse not to double that guy. Hell...triple him if you need to.

But I'm lovin it!!!

RainMaker · 01-10-2009, 08:18 PM

I don't get it. No Boldin and no coverage on Fitzgerald.

Jas_lov · 01-10-2009, 08:20 PM

Gotta go here. Punish them.

MikeVic · 01-10-2009, 08:22 PM

Should have gone for it. What do you have to lose.

kingfc22 · 01-10-2009, 08:22 PM

WTF?! How is Arizona winning 20-7? Left the house figuring Carolina would take this one easily...Guess i was wrong.

Jas_lov · 01-10-2009, 08:22 PM

Great stop by Carolina and I agree with Moose, they should have went for it. One TD drive here and the Panthers are right back in it.

SteveMax58 · 01-10-2009, 08:22 PM

Cant fault them for not going for it too much...but I would have gone for it.

Thomkal · 01-10-2009, 08:23 PM

was hoping they'd go for it there, gave the Panthers some confidence when they didn't

Radii · 01-10-2009, 08:24 PM

If you go for it and fail you lose all the momentum. With the FG you're still the one in charge. IMO at least. But I never saw Arizona as a 10 point dog, I saw them as a team that threw for 380 yards vs Carolina earlier in the year. :P

Jas_lov · 01-10-2009, 08:24 PM

LOL, if Dehlomme is gonna keep doing that I guess it doesn't matter.

SteveMax58 · 01-10-2009, 08:24 PM

Way to go Jake!!!!!!

RainMaker · 01-10-2009, 08:25 PM

Who is Carolina's backup?

RedKingGold · 01-10-2009, 08:25 PM

Wow, I didn't know Jake Delomme played for the Cardinals?

Radii · 01-10-2009, 08:25 PM

god WTF Delhomme

Buccaneer · 01-10-2009, 08:25 PM

Everyone said this would be a blowout. They were right so far.

Go Cards.

Rizon · 01-10-2009, 08:26 PM

So the Cardinals are going to be in the NFC Championship. That just sounds so bizarre to me.

Agreed. I think kicking the FG was the smart decision.

I guess we might still get a blowout after all. That is why I'd rather see the Panthers advance. I thought he was more likely to throw some stupid picks in the Conference Championship. I'm really surprised that the Panthers haven't run it more effectively this game.

TD!!! Oh my.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-10-2009, 08:27 PM

Sheesh. Fitzgerald is unreal.

Buccaneer · 01-10-2009, 08:27 PM

By the way, my wife is upstairs both nervous and screamingly excited. I haven't seen her this emotionally into a game in years.

Jas_lov · 01-10-2009, 08:28 PM

This is amazing. They're just letting Fitz run wide open. I thought the Panthers would eventually overcome 2 early turnovers like the Packers did last year vs the Seahawks last year, but I don't think it's gonna happen. Their QB and secondary look absolutely terrible.

Thomkal · 01-10-2009, 08:28 PM

wow, that's all I can say, what a half for my beloved Cards

MikeVic · 01-10-2009, 08:28 PM

AWESOME!

RainMaker · 01-10-2009, 08:29 PM

Who created the gameplan that doesn't cover Fitzgerald?

Let's not get too hasty here. These are the Cardinals after all. And the Panthers came back from 17-3 down in the game they played earlier in the season, so not calling it over quite yet

Not really letting him...they just can't cover him. They had two on him on that TD and he still got open.

Radii · 01-10-2009, 08:30 PM

Carolina came back from a 14 point deficit earlier in the year against Arizona, if they can score before halftime and settle down in the locker room its not over yet. They really need a score here though.

Jas_lov · 01-10-2009, 08:30 PM

I like how all the teams who people said shouldn't even be in the playoffs keep winning. Now watch the Chargers and Eagles win tomorrow to set up two 4 seed vs 6 seed matchups in the championship games.

True. But if they fail to convert this 3rd down and look bad (like they just did), then I think this is over.

SteveMax58 · 01-10-2009, 08:32 PM

Carolina just aint built to win games like this. Not looking good for them.

yeah another 3 and out there is pretty terrible.

MikeVic · 01-10-2009, 08:38 PM

Of course this can be one of those games you remember later on as "down by 20 at the half, the Panthers came back to score three unanswered TDs on the way to victory."

I hope not, but I'll be watching this game after the half.

Young Drachma · 01-10-2009, 08:41 PM

My goodness.

I was just here, doing a few things, I look up and it's all of sudden 27-7. That's what I get for watching it on mute, I guess.

Bigsmooth · 01-10-2009, 08:47 PM

WTF is Arizona doing right now. They need more points and are basically choosing to settle for a 50+ yard FG.

Way too conservative. If I was a Cardinal fan, I'd be very annoyed at that last 2 minutes.

Thomkal · 01-10-2009, 08:48 PM

oh man just missed with that FG

Indeed, after that initial first down, they should have opened it back up.

Yeah I'm scratching my head at the playcalling for those last 2 minutes. Should have been making more an attempt to get it in the end zone. Have to say I like these delayed handoffs to the RB's they are doing though. Keeping the defense guessing.

Cringer · 01-10-2009, 08:55 PM

This is crazy. Like a Lot of people I though Arizona would probably be crushed.

The next 30 minutes of football for me is all about trying to wrap my mind around the fact the Arizona Cardinals could/will be in the NFC Championship game. I keep thinking how Arizona is a 6-10 team and the NFL felt bad for the fans and let them into the playoffs just to be nice. They could be in the NFC Championship game, just strange. Time for them to same some streets in Phoenix after these coaches and players before they get home.

Karlifornia · 01-10-2009, 08:57 PM

Just absolute self-destruction by the Panthers. How many times did they even run the ball? You would think after that second turnover they would have at least tried to establish something on the ground.

Arizona gets the ball to start the second half, too. If they score on the first drive, I'm getting drunk and playing my RFL Orange Bowl game.

Better have done EBFL recruiting first ass.

Thomkal · 01-10-2009, 09:01 PM

Cards get the ball when the second half starts, really need to keep the momentum going, get a long drive going, or quick TD, and that should be all they need to win

True that. But then again they are playing the Fluke-alina Panthers. Delholme still has another 2 or 3 INTs in him.

Am I the only one that likes Siragusa on the sideline? I'd love to see it with other announcing crews. A former player with a unique personality reporting directly from the field. A guy like Strahan would be perfect for that role.

Radii · 01-10-2009, 09:08 PM

hopefully its not too late, that's a much better series by the carolina defense.
