Cardinals to the Super Bowl; Warner Cashes In

Ugh... that would have been nice

I agree that Philly did everything they could to give this game to the Cards. They couldn't catch. McNabb couldn't hit a receiver in stride. Heck, they couldn't even handle the stunts from the Az defensive line.

It's not like the Eagles didn't catch any breaks themselves.

>A kickoff that went out of bounds, giving great field position.
>The fumble after the interception in the first half.
>The mysterious guy/ball out of bounds call late in the first half.

Johnson did a great job adjusting in the second half and finally pressuring Warner.

I was genuinely impressed with the clock eating drive that the Cardinals put up the the 4th quarter. Remember that to that point, the eagles defense had dominated the Cardinals the entire second half.

Fraud? The scoreboard disagrees with that scorned assessment.

Geez, bitter much, Justin? If I had railed about the Giants like that last year, people would have kicked my ass up and down this site for being a "whiny Pats fan"...

The bottom line is that Arizona's a nice story and Kurt Warner is easy to root for. I don't think they'll beat PIT, but you have to respect the way they hung in there and came back against the Eagles.

I can no longer deny Arizona is a fraud. Larry Fitzgerald is a beast, Kurt Warner is fantastic, and their defense is scary fast.

If there is anyone who is a fraud now, I look at Mr. Donovan McNabb...1-5 in conference championship/Super Bowl games, along with his friend, Andy Reid.

Oh well, it's okay JuT, because of Arizona's success I officially have little hope to go with for next season if there are no major changes in their organization.

Another typical Donovan McNabb-Andy Reid Choke job...

Like the Titans have been saying about the Ravens...they play ten times and the Eagles win 9...

Their Fraudulent...i have no problem saying that...the Bucs in 2002/03 were fraudulent...

Why do I torture myself with this team...I got sucked right the hell in and they kicked me in the nuts...again...

To sum up the Andy Reid era Philadelphia Eagles:

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

and this just goes to prove: In philadelphia, baseball season (or hockey or basketball) is just a sport used to pass the time until Football season...

Andy Reid is the only coach in the league that uses the pass to set up the pass.

And yeah Davis, I'm bitter

It was the fucking Cardinals..they suck...if the Eagles can't beat the worst franchise...maybe in all of pro-sports, then what hope is there to ever win?!

Jim Johnson got torn the fuck apart...Todd Haley and that offense owned him...he adjusted but Super Bowl teams:

A) stop last minute drives

B) have last minute drives

to win...

I think I know how Yankees and Red Sox fans felt watching the Rays...but at least you saw the Rays kicking ass all season...

SSR, when San Fran wins that division next year, can we call them a fraud again?

Only if it is the same guys from last year that are playing.

What really has be frightened is the possibility of Matt Leinart getting a Super Bowl ring having done nothing, while guys like Jay Cutler miss the playoffs routinely.

I was gonna say, the Rays are actually good. This really is more like the Giants last year. Eli. Plaxico. Super Bowl-winning drive... That shit actually happened, so you deal with it, take it like a man.

Let me put it this way...The eagles went out and beat perhaps the best team in the league (and probably best in the NFC) and then lay an egg versus Arizona...a team that made the playoffs in spite of itself... Being an Eagles fan is like having the sports version of blue balls...

The Eagles are a fraud team too. They tied the Bengals this year.

And the Cardinals beat...

...Atlanta, Carolina and Philadelphia.

Beat me to it BBB

while we're at it, the Eagles beat the Steelers...

The Patriots beat the Giants in week 17 last year.

And I said last year the Giants had no business being in the playoffs...

getting hot at the right time is fine...but generally its going to result in a team being a sacrificial lamb...

Lightning doesn't strike twice...and when the Steelers are up by 24, don't blame me...

So the 9-7 Cardinals didn't deserve to be in the playoffs, but the 9-6-1 Eagles did?

"Getting hot at the right time" is a roundabout way of saying "clutch."

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be embarrassed to say that my team lost to a team that didn't deserve to make the playoffs. Because that's a roundabout way of saying "Choke."

Why would anyone blame you if the Steelers are up by 24? That sounds like a pretty good result, you ask me.

Gotta agree there, SJ!
