infrared41 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 About the officiating, the maddening thing about it is the inconsistency. There were several PI or illegal contact calls where the defender literally did nothing more than brush a receiver, yet several instances where DBs mauled guys trying to make catches and there's no call. I just don't get that. Not picking on the Falcons here, these are just some obvious ones I remember: NBC pointed out an obvious hold in the end zone by an Atlanta O-lineman, not called; later in the same game, a Falcon DB runs into a receiver running a quick slant and basically bear hugs him, the ball goes sailing past, no call. ???I agree 100%. Was I the only person who saw that blatant hold on Westbrook's 70 yard TD? A Vikings player was basically tackled from behind while he was chasing Westbrook during that play. Gotta love those NFL officials. The worst in all of sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love those NFL officials. The worst in all of sports.I forgot the blocked extra point by the Ravens too. Even from the end-zone view it appeared the guy who blocked it was clearly offsides. Speaking of offsides, even a Falcons-hater like me has to admit the Cardinals sure were quick off the ball and several times they looked offsides but nothing was called.

TFoA Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I can't really complain about bad officiating, because it usually takes a dip around this time of year anyway. It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ravens 13, Titans 10Yeah, it was a delay of game, but turnovers were the real reason why Tennessee isn't advancing to the AFC Championship Game.

TFoA Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I guess they don't need the key when you've got Delhomme tossing the ball to them at will. The Panthers are in a DEEP hole now. The last team that I'd want to be behind 20 against would be the Cardinals. They can keep on scoring all night.LMAO @ Larry Fitzgerald breaking a franchise single-game playoff record for receiving yards already...(not really saying much but it's still a record.)

tBBP Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm following this here game on NFL GameCast since I can't get to a TV right now, so I can't exactly see the action, but.....from the looks of things, Arizona is straight-up beasting them Panthers! Or are the Panthers playing with their tails between their legs?Quick stat wrap: Jake Delhomme- 2 turnovers (1 FUM, 1 INT.) Larry Fitzgerald, as of this posting, is ALREADY over 100 yards receiving, at 22.*EDIT* Make that, in the middle of me posting this, 151 yards receiving! 26-7 Cardinals.Oh--and the 'Zona D has two picks already. That'll help you win a game.Oh--and all this is WITHOUT Boldin (as far as I can see.)I, for one, hope Zona whup Carolina's ASSES so we can quit hearing about how this team can't cut it with the big boys--and on the East Coast. AND...I hope both NYG and PHL are taking notes, cuz um uh...yeah. The Greatest Show on Turf has been reinvigorated. It now wears Deep Claret. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I just tuned into the game and the first thing that came to mind was 'This has to be a typo, right?'Guess not. Arizona has taken advantage of Carolina turning it over often and a sure fire offense. Now, we won't know what could happen, but for Arizona to come in and take Carolina to the woodshed is somewhat of a shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 This just in... Larry Fitzgerald is pretty good. It's now official. Screw the ugly ass Cardinals uniforms. I am rooting for a Super Bowl that features the 9-7 Arizona Cardinals vs. The 8-8 San Diego Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If I were a Panthers fan right now, I'd really be pissed.As it is though, I'm just enjoying it. I'm glad to see the Cards doing well, even if they don't get to SB XLIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If the Cardinals win, are they automatically on the road in the NFC Championship, or does it depend on the winner?The Eagles have a half-game better record, but the Cardinals are Division Champions. I just can't remember and can't find it anywhere. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't remember and can't find it anywhere.Here's a scenario that would've left you scratching your head back at Thanksgiving: If the Cardinals hold on to win, and the Eagles go to the Meadowlands and beat New York, then the Cardinals would HOST the Eagles in the NFCCG and a rematch of the Thanksgiving NFL Nightcap.It's amazing that this is even possible.
