NFL Playoff Round II Thread

Let's go Cards! I'm not sure if my heart can take another crazy game like last weeks though.

Holy Crap I didn't expect that. Another great start for the Cards in a playoff game.

Leaving for the Colts game soon. They should win, but the Ravens are always a tough out. I'm hoping I come home at 1 am happy.

Serious question, here. On that catch by Shockey, he got hit and went down, but he was never touched while down. Is he down by NFL rule? God, I hate that rule. Can someone clarify why he was down on that play, or if he was? (2 plays before the touchdown)

That's a tackle - he caught the ball, and the defender knocked him down.

My speakers are picking up the ambient stadium announcer from the Saints. That has to be the most annoying and repetitive person I have ever heard. Has anyone gone to a Saints game before? Is this a normal thing? Usually, I don't even notice, but he sounds like a he is trying to be a Michael Buffer starter kit with all the words going outtttttttt likeeeeeeeee thissssss.

I didn't see the play, but if the force of the contact makes him go down, then he is down.

So he doesn't have to be touched while his knee is down? What exactly is the rule?

So if 11 players on one team beat the living crap out of 1 player for the other team, and that 1 player fights back, it is off setting personal foul penalties? Weird.

The rule is simple. If a defender forces the ball carrier to hit the ground, the ball carrier is down.

This is the best Reggie Bush has played as a pro. EF27 must be basking in it right now.

That was Barry Sanders-esque.

:::sighs::: horrible tackling again and their best CB out in an already shaky secondary. Not looking good for my Cards.

Bush has been awesome for weeks, it just kind of got lost since it was mostly during the losing streak.

Regardless of how weak that roughing the passer call might have been, I absolutely HATE how roughing the passer calls wipe out INTs. The pass is in the air, the action of the pass is in motion, the the result of that action can be wiped out by something that happens after the pass starts is odd to me.

It was very close from getting 4 straight stops, 2 of which by turnover. You can't give Warner a second chance at a drive in the playoffs.

Yes but the action is away from the possession change, and doesn't affect possession change. I understand why it is enforced like that, I just think it hinders the flow of the game more than it helps.

A QB can air mail it to a safety 50 yards down field, and be completely bailed out by something that happens after that mistake.

I love this Saints team. I'm still not convinced they can beat a team with a real defense, but they are so much fun to watch.

I can't root for them against the Chargers but if they get to the Super Bowl and play anybody else it will be the most invested I've been in the game for a very long time.

I've not seen it mentioned, so I guess it's my local feed, but the quality of the picture on this game is terrible. It's not the TV because the commercials look fine.

FOX's feed is always worse than what a typical game on CBS or NBC will look like IMO.

if Warner is out I'd say good nite Cards. Leinart isn't even half the QB that he is.

Well, if the Cards defense continues to give up TD's on 100% of the oppositions possessions it won't matter who is at QB.
