next season, and your reasons why???? (including pre-season)
My list goes
1. Pittsburgh Steelers- They are always claiming to have the best fans and whatnot but if the Steelers started losing they would be treated like a diseased step-child. See Pittsburgh Pirates. Also i feel like the superbowl was kind've handed to them last season. Im just not a fan of them i guess.
2. Minnesota Vikings- Vikes fans talk like every player on their roster is the second coming, aside from T-Jack and Rosenfels. They had the same amount of hype last and they ended up bending over and taking it from the eagles in the playoffs. I've heard that AP is the best running back in NFL history and that they're a quarterback away from the superbowl blah blah blah im looking forward to Viqueen fans finally shutting up.
3. Atlanta Falcons- They had their storybook turnaround last season now its time for them to return to their pit of suckitude. They beat us in a HEARTBREAKER last year and im not sold on Matt Ryan.
4. Denver Broncos (pre-season)- They have had such good Quarterbacks for so long i think they underestimate the value of the position. From reading over posts i've learned Broncos fans seem to think they will actually compete, and may even be improved, this year with Kyle Orton and i just really want them to be wrong.
5. Arizona Cardinals- Watching the SB last season i just couldnt help but feel like they didnt belong there. They poorly represented the NFC and their defense made that cupcake offense of The Steelers look good. Shame on you Arizona.
Honorable Mention- The Green Bay Packers would usually be the first team on my list but they didn't really compete that much last year. I still want Da Bears to sweep them though.
Just to make it clear im sorry if this list offends anyone for some odd reason, if you really are such a devout defender of any of the teams on this list good for you, and if you want to troll me because im a new poster please keep it to a one comment maximum. thank you lol. P.S. Cardinals suck no matter what anyone says. Bears are gunna kick the crap outta them.

Sayin'!
I need the bears to beat the steelers for the reasons listed above, AND because if they lose i’ll be in front of our company formation in steelers garb monday morning, informing everyone of the score. Can’t do that. Won’t do that. BEAR DOWN!

what about the 49ers?
I hope that when the Bears meet up with Coach Singletary that it is a fun, well-fought game, but I really want the Bears to win it.
I’d substitute beating the 49ers to beating the Cards.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
Huh?

They almost won the game! How can you say they poorly represented the NFC?

Nonsense
Poorly represented was the game Grossman had in ’06.
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
ok
not arguing that but IMO a team that is dead last in the league in rushing with a 9-7 record and 28th in points allowed per game is poor representation no matter which way you hack it.

That's fine
but they made up for it by playing their best football when it mattered the most. IMO- that’s great representation.
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
lol
your talking like they won. Nothing matters more then the superbowl so obviously your statement is a tad contradictory. Didnt really expect anyone to be defending the cardinals so you can have the last word and tell me why the cardinals are great enough to defend to a fellow bears fan on a bears blog.

Not a Cards fan, just speaking the truth
I’m talking as if they had the lead with very little time left in the game. The SB was close the entire time, and you’re talking as if they got blownout.
the only good representation would of been winning.
With your logic, every SB loser is worthless and not “representative” of a competitive team.
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
Ok
of course, I can see the holes in the logic as well lol. but if you look at my #1 i think you understand y i blasted the cards, im just disapointed the steelers win another superbowl. I have friends who are Steelers fans and trust me “6 superbowl wins” is all i hear.

I agree
they were very close, and it took a spectacular play for the Steelers to win. The thing that gets me is the fact that Big Ben is portrayed as a great QB now, even though his regular season numbers were pedestrian at best.
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Sir Winston Churchill
If I have
Warner, Boldin & Fitzgerald, it really doesn’t matter how many yards I rush for.
The 9-7 record is a little skewed in the sense that once they clinched the division, they let up.
Not excusing it, but it’s the reality of the situation.
And of course, propheteer is correct. Many have called that SB one of the best ever.
They were anything but ‘poor’ in the way that they represented the NFC that day.
You can ‘reverse’ your argument here: How could the ‘tough and mighty’ Pittsburgh Steelers go down to the wire and almost lose to a 9-7 team, that couldn’t run the ball and came from the weak NFC West?
Well
you must not of read the post because i never thought pittsburgh was tough and mighty. its not really reversing my argument. Rushing always matters in the NFL. and again maybe you guys didnt hear but the cardinals franchise left chicago after the 1959 season no need to defend them. or maybe you just want to be argumentative, in that case go ahead but i didnt mean to offend anyone by saying i would like the bears to beat the cardinals or that the cardinals looked out of place in the superbowl.
by Staleystan595455 on Jul 15, 2009 7:34 PM CDT up reply actions
The history of the Steelers
would lend them that kind of title (tough/mighty).
Rushing ‘almost’ always matters. It matters a whole lot less when you can torch teams with Warner/Boldin/Fitzgerald.
Look. You can’t say they poorly represented the NFC when they took the game down to the wire and gave Pittsburgh all they could handle.
Basically, by your standards any team that loses poorly represents their conference.
Doesn’t make sense.
It doesn’t matter what their record was in the regular season. Doesn’t matter how good their rushing attack was.
Anytime you have a chance to win a game in the last two minutes it’s hard to argue that you played poorly.
OK
let me make clear what i meant by “poorly”. I meant to indicate that they were far from being the best team in the conference.
you could argue that they were because they “did” make it to the superbowl but lets say this, If you had to pick one team from the NFC to play an AFC team and the winning conference got homefield advantage in the SB for the next say 70 years, i know its a stretch but its hypothetical, would you pick the cardinals to represent the NFC in its entirety.
i would not plainly because the only threat they have is their passing offense and pure passing offenses fail more often then well rounded offenses.
all im saying is that we had better to offer in the NFC than a one-dimensional offense. Im not saying they played poorly on offense but they did play poorly on defense and defense wins championships.

My internet is acting funky but ill try to reply. what i meant by poorly representing the NFC is that they were not the best team in the conference. you could argue that they were because they were in the superbowl but lets say this, if you had to pick one NFC team to play one AFC team and the winning conference recieved homefield advantage in the next 70 superbowls, i know its a stretch but its hypothetical, would you pick the cardinals? I would not just because their offense is one-dimensional and the whole team’s functionality depends on whether or not their #1 and #2 recievers are having either good days or a bad days. the truth is while they did get within striking distance on offense, they sure as hell played poorly on defense, and defense wins championships. the superbowl is an example of why.

You kinda miss my point
There are teams (like the 85 Bears) who roll through the regular season and then roll through the playoffs.
That’s great. That’s how it should be.
But the flip-side to that is a team like the Cubs (great regular season; horrible postseason) or the Cardinals (average/good regular season; great postseason).
The bottom line is this: Once the playoffs start, how much you dominated in the regular season (or how much you limped in) DOESN’T matter.
At all. Everybody is zero-zero.
The 2006 Colts? Bob Sanders missed 12 games. They had one of the worst rushing defenses of all time in the regular season. They averaged 173 rushing against them that season.
Sanders came back in time for the playoffs. In four playoff games (against KC, the Ravens the Patriots and the Bears) they gave up a total of 311 yard rushing for a 77 yard average.
They knocked off almost 100 yards of rushing gained on them in the playoffs over the regular season and won it all.
That’s all that matters. The regular season, once the playoffs start, is meaningless.
All the regular season does is (hopefully) get you a tciket into the playoffs.
That’s it.
The regular season
is not meaningless because it determines how many homegames you have in the playoffs. I didnt miss your point i just dont want to entertain it because you really have taken the post far away from its intent. I dont care about the cardinals and definately dont care about the 06 colts, i was just hoping people would chime in to the actual topic rather than pick at my opinions on teams. so as a fellow cubs and bears fan im saying if you enjoyed the superbowl congrats, i didnt. thank you for your opinion but your effort to open my mind to your philosophy on the difference of post and regular season is and will remain fruitless.

Dude, You are NOT reading me correctly
Here’s what I said (above):
The regular season, once the playoffs start, is meaningless.
Do you understand what I am saying? (See the word ONCE).
ONCE the playoffs start, the regular season in meaningless.
It’s in the past. It’s history. The new, ‘second season’ is here.
Please tell me that you finally understand this?
No
again YOU are not reading me correctly. I do not care what you have to say about the playoffs that is not the post. done arguing goodbye.

Please
You wrote ( in response to me):
The regular seasonis not meaningless because it determines how many homegames you . . .
I NEVER SAID IT WAS!
Of COURSE the regular season isn’t meaningless. It’s how they determine who the playoffs teams are going to be.
What I DID say is this: ONCE, the playoffs start, the regular season becomes meaningless . . .
Why do you keep TWISTING my words and arguing this?
You’re basic (FLAWED) premise is that the Cardinals poorly represented the NFC (due to their 9-7 record).
Once they got in they won three straight and went to the SB. That’s all that matters at that point.
Not how many regular season games they won.
Thank you
the cardinals were no doubt the best team in the NFC last season and if the referees were worth half a D#@! we would of one.
To answer the post you can forget about beating us i see no problem in the Cardinals putting up 40 points on your patchwork secondary.
Do you even know who your starters are in the secondary? no one else does
ZOMG I guess you told us!
I mean seriously, you want to point fingers at defensive secondary while your Cards had only the 22nd best passing D in 2008?
And what about rushing defense… you wanna compare those as well? I bet you don’t.
By the way, our improved pass rush will help out our pass coverage this year… what have the Cards done defensively? Rashad Johnson will be good eventually, but he can’t make that big of a difference immediately.
LSU Tigers Baseball... NCAA National Champions- 2009.
We dont even need a D
the difference between our teams is that our offense can keep up with any offense in the league.
yours cant and didnt Kerry Collins have a Career best in passing yards against you. thats pathetix.
we also have a guy by the name of Adrian Wilson who is ten times better then any safety you will ever have. and hey atleast we know who our safeties are.
Pathetix?
almost “one” the superbowl lol do you even learn grammar in Arizona?
by Staleystan595455 on Jul 16, 2009 5:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Adrian Wilson, huh?
He had 75 tackles and 2 INTs last year.
Kevin Payne had 88 tackles and 4 INTs.
I guess you told me again.
LSU Tigers Baseball... NCAA National Champions- 2009.
He also missed a game
and was not on the field for nearly as long as Kevin No-name and the rest of your sorry D.
Fact the more your offense flubs up the longer your defense is on the field which means the more the players individual stats will be inflated
So by that logic
Zach Bowman was the best defensive back in the league since he was only on the field for one game and had 1 interception and 1 fumble recovery. Nobody in the history of the league has that kind of per game average.
I hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl
since it will probably be another 60 years or so before you get back there.
your one to talk
everyone on your D is old enough to have grandkids.
is Jay cutler is supposed to lead you there when your top two recievers are converted DB’s? hmm.
So you think if he hadn't have missed the
torching that Brett Favre gave y’all, that he would have added another 13 tackles and 2 INTs to catch up to Payne? Lol. Sure dude… that would have helped a lot considering Favre torched your D for 6TDs.
LSU Tigers Baseball... NCAA National Champions- 2009.
Favre might of torched us
but we clinched the division anyways. how bout Da Bears HUH?
and correction he technically missed two games NYJ and Buffalo and yes he could of caught up 6 or 7 tackles in those games seeing as thats his average per game anyways.
your gunna figure out who Kevin
is real soon and your not gunna like it. hope you can keep boldin long enough so you have no excuses when you get destroyed. you didnt belong in the superbowl last year and ill bet any money you will never be there again.

No
My basic premise that they poorly represented the NFC is that they are a one-dimensional finesse team that consistently chokes on defense. Good teams in the NFC run the ball effectively and play good defense. You tell me to stop arguing? this is my post which i put up to see what games everyone wants us to win most next year. if you want to stop arguing then here’s some avice “stop”.

Argue all you want
Just don’t misquote me.
My basic premise should be required reading for ALL players, coaches and managers.
ONCE the playoffs start, it would be wise to forget about what you accomplished in the regular season.
It doeasn’t matter anymore, as it’s a new (and real short) season.
As far as your assessment of the Cards there’s nothing wrong with being one-dimensional if you can score that way.
And yes, they weren’t the usual type of NFC team. So what?
And the defense would better be described as inconsistent, as opposed to ‘constantly choking.’
Ah Geo...
Good to have you back.
My basic premise should be required reading for ALL players, coaches and managers.

The only time I see you using the
word ‘consistently’ is here:
My basic premise that they poorly represented the NFC is that they are a one-dimensional finesse team that consistently chokes on defense.
What the Hell does that mean.? They won nine games in the regular season. Three in the post season.
I doubt they would have won twelve games if they ‘consistently choked’ on defense.
I live in Phoenix. I’m extremely knowledgable about the team. It can’t be helped living here.
The ACCURATE way to describe their defense is the way I did earlier: Inconsistent.
If this comment of yours:
blah blah yeah they couldnt score when it mattered most could they
is directed at the offense they DID score when it mattered most.
They scored enough to win three playoff games (despite having a terrible defense, according to you) and they scored a go-ahead TD at the end of the SB.
Unfortunately, the Steelers made some great plays at the end to win it all.
That happens in the NFL.
Yeah
the steelers offense made plays or the cardinals choked? if i remember correctly the cardinals offense could of scored to end half time but instead kurt warner threw a dead duck to james harrison who promptly ran it back for the most ridiculous touchdown in SB history.
that score could of been the game winner for them but they messed up, since it would of won the game its fair to say it is the moment when it mattered most. and your saying your premise should be a required read for ACTUAL nfl personel? please if you knew half of what you pretended to you would be a NFL Head Coach instead of some Troll headhunting new posters.

The STUPIDIST THING I'VE EVER HEARD
I’ve tried to be nice here but I’m a little tired of your BS.
A). My premise about what should be required reading had to do with forgetting the regular season records once the postseason starts (cause they don’t matter anymore).
B). You do remember correctly. The Cardinals could’ve scored. But Warner didn’t see James Harrison, who cut in front of Anquan Boldin and made one of the great plays in SB history.
THAT’S NOT CHOKING. That’s Warner making a mistake and Harrison making a great play.
That’s Football, son.
If every team scored a TD everytime they had the ball at the one or two yard line, football would be a little boring.
Plays like the Harrison 100 yard TD are what make the NFL great.
C). Here, with this NEXT STATEMENT of yours, you reveal your COMPLETE & TOTAL IGNORANCE of NFL FOOTBALL.
Ready? Here goes:
that score could of been the game winner for them but they messed up, since it would of won the game its fair to say it is the moment when it mattered most.
ARE YOU INSANE, Staleystan??
Really. I’m serious.
Could of been the game winner?
It was at the end of the FIRST HALF!!!
The FIRST HALF!!!
There are no ‘Game Winning Plays’ at the end of the FIRST HALF.
Are you from a foreign country?
Cause here in America we play TWO HALVES of Football.
Not one! TWO!!!!
There are NO game winners at the end of the FIRST HALF, son.
At the end of the SECOND half, sure. That’s the time for game winners. But the FIRST HALF?
Really, that’s about the STUPIDIST thing I’ve ever heard here.
Congratulations!
First
dont say “we” play football i actually play football which is the opposite of what you do, sit, watch, then act like u know something. and about the game winning play even if he throws a incompletion instead of an INT the cards win. your comment aboce shows YOUR ignorance, in football EVERY single play has a chance to impact the outcome of a football game, son. did you even watch the superbowl harrison was sitting in zone coverage he didnt cut in front of anybody he sat in his zone and played the ball. Zone Coverage do you know what that is? and your tired of my BS? if your tired of it stop commenting on my post.

He did cut in front of the ball. He completely baited Warner into throwing the ball there, and as soon as he did, he jumped in front of it and picked it off.

Oh man
I cant catch a break can I. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoxSFBHbA80 watch it Boldin runs his drag right into Harrison he barely took a step. Bad interception. Especially since Kurt Warner had his eyes locked on Anquan since the snap.

Well
He definitely took more then “barely a step”, but who cares it’s really not a big deal. During the game I remember them showing the replay from Warner’s perspective and from that view you couldn’t see Harrison right until he picked it off.
by packallday555 on Jul 17, 2009 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions
If Warner throw an incompletition
instead of an INT
(your quote): even if he throws a incompletion instead of an INT the cards win.
The Cards are only down by the score of 10-7, instead of 17-7.
How can the Cardinals win the game (even at halftime) when they are DOWN by three points when the INT happens.
Are we talking about the same thing (last years SB)?
The ONLY time the Cardinals had the lead in that game was near the end, when Fitzgerald’s 64 yard TD gave them a (short lived) 23-20 lead.
You are CORRECT when you say that every single play has a chance to impact the game.
However, you are INCORRECT when you say that that play could have been the game winner (there were still 30 minutes to play) or that if he threw an incompletition instead of an INT the Cards win (an incompletition would have left the Cards down by the score of 10-7).
Please try to be accurate in your descrpitions of game situations.
The two best teams in their individual conferences
The Titans & Giants lost their first playoff game.
That’s the beauty of the NFL.
The fact is, starting with their opening series in the first game against Atlanta, the Cardinals played excellent football.
Beyond that, I use the Cardinals as exhibit ‘A’ when talking about playoffs.
And I use last years Chicago Cubs (and I’m a Cub fan) as exhibit ‘B.’
The Cubs had the best record in the NL last year. The Arizona Cardinals had one of the worst records.
The Cubs went in somewhat overconfident and got their Ass kicked.
The Cardinals went in being referred to, by many, as the worst playoff team ever in the history of the NFL. They were completely disrespected, pissed off about it and they almost shocked the world.
There are two seasons in sports (regular & post) and they are COMPLETELY different seasons. What happened in the regular really doesn’t matter once the postseason starts.
Everybody’s Zero-Zero at that point.
im a cubs fan also
and your right they did have the best record in the MLB. Atlanta’s offense is gimmicky you cant “hide” your quarterback forever. The giants stopped being the best team in the NFC when plaxico shot himself. No matter what you say i will not change my opinion that the NFC was poorly represented because they were. While the two seasons are different the offensive systems of teams do not change. the make up and philosphy of a team do not change. the coaches do not change teams will still attack you in the postseason the same way they would in the regular season but better.

My Five
First the Packers on opening day, cause it’s the Packers and I hope Jay has a great game to show who the real QB in this division is. Next the Steelers, to beat the defending champs early on the season, I think would set a positive tone for the rest of the season. Then the Vikings, cause I’m so sick of hearing about how good they are, and if they got Farve he would be the missing part to their quest for a championship, he’s not. Then the NFC Championship game, and I hope its against the Falcons and they have to come play in Chicago, should be great weather at that time for a team that comes from the south and plays indoors. And finally the Super Bowl, and we take out ESPN’s glory boy Tom Brady and the Patriots. I know the last two some of you will say is wishful thinking, but we have a QB now, and if our defense could play at just 75% of what they were in ’06, anything can happen.

outside of the above:
1) seahawks (bragging rights, and i’ll be there)
2) lions at home (probably will be there)
3) steelers
4) vikings
5) packers
have to beat the last two to win the division i imagine, so eventhough i’d like to put arizona, baltimore, etc. gotta beat the division.
There's only one game that matters
At Green Bay
Because it’s the next game on the schedule
All those other but kickings can wait
Just beat the Pack in Green Bay on football night in America
That will start the season right
By the way, don’t sleep on the cheese heads this season. If you think they won’t be competive this year because they had a rough season last year, you don’t watch much NFL. People are and should be worried about the Vikes but the NFC North is a three team race and At Green Bay is absolutely, positively one of the big time games of the year.
Wow
“By the way, don’t sleep on the cheese heads this season. If you think they won’t be competive this year because they had a rough season last year, you don’t watch much NFL.”
Good to see a fan of a rival team not just say any other team but their’s suck. I’ve been over on the Vikes blog, and some of them seem to think their going to go 13-3/14-2 and win the division easy. I agree with you, the North is definitely a 3 team race, and it’s going to be exciting to see how everything pans out.

Almost like 10 games into the season last year(before the Pack started their losing streak) when Da Bears and the Vikings were tied for first place and the Packers were only one game out. I see the division finishing like that except all 3 teams improved

2. Vikings. Simply because if we want to have a shot in the division we have to at least split the series. In the past 2 years the Vikings have beaten us 3 out of 4 times(with the one win being a game decided by special teams errors). If we turn that around we could be up the with them for first place
3. Steelers. I hate them and they just won the Super Bowl. Enough said.
4. Packers. Same reason as Vikings.
5. Ravens. This is one I doubt we even have a realistic shot at winning. But it would be great if we did
Take off the denver pre-season game
add the packers.
That’s the list.
why only 5,,,,
i hope they beat everybody and pull a pats year..and go undefeated all the way to the superbowl only to beat the hell out of the colts in a revenge game..
note: they kick to hester again…
note: he scored again on them
note: final score 35-7
its a dream…i know but i can at least do it on madden haha
Bring back our honey bears...sick and tired of hearing about the dallas cowboy cheerleaders and the bars they go work at when they quit. cold weather + cheerleaders in skimpy outfits = lots of fun
LOL
yeah the bears are the only team to go undefeated three times in a row in NFL history, In my franchise lol.

My List
1. Vikings- Hate them and everything they stand for. Their fans are bandwagoners, low life, know-it-alls. Worst franchise in NFL, by far. We play them twice a year. We usually split. And when I got sucker punched in the face at the Dome last year, it just Tripled my hate for them. Enough said.
2. Packers- I actually like the Pack more than the Vikes, but I still hate them. We play them twice, we need to beat them twice, and the season opener should be the first game of Domination 09, as I am calling this upcoming season. We need to get the season started right.
3. Steelers- Good franchise, Tomlin is a good coach. Tough D. Respect the SB winner. That being said: we need to beat them, on our field, to start 2-0 and make a statement. We do that and the rest of the season people have to respect us. Even the ESPN clowns that know nothing, and worship NYG, NYJ, NE, and every other tean near Bristol.
4. Cardinals- I will BE at this game. The NFC champs of last year are living on a fluke of a season last year. Even though I LOVE Fitzgarld (MN guy, great guy). I hope our D is better this year to stop Warner and that pass O.
5. Eagles- Eagles at home on Sunday night at home? Enough said. Hate them and their fans. Hopefully it won’t come down to a goal line stop like last year, but I will take a W any way I can get it.
Last but not least, if there was 6, Detroit. I would hate to lose a game against a team that was 0-16 last year. We need to sweep our NFC foes this year, even though that is highly unlikely. All the other games mean nothing if we dont win these. Playoffs start 0-0. If Cutler can be as promised, and Hester is fast enough to catch his bombs, I like our chances.
Call me a die-hard. I am. I work with Viking “fans” everyday, and I CANNOT WAIT to have Favre come to OUR HOUSE on Monday Night Football, even though that game should be completely meaningless by that point in the season. Come freeze your ass off like you did a few years ago Brett. You will OFFICALLY RETIRE after that game.
My list
1. Atlanta – That f*cking game. Hopefully it’s a 46 – 0 shellacking.
2. Minnesota @ Minnesota
3. Green Bay @ Green Bay
4. Green Bay @ Chicago
5. Cleveland, because I don’t want to take the phone calls from my relatives if they don’t win that game.
Is Clint Hurdle fired yet? YES
Is John Paxson fired yet?
Is Ralph Friedgen fired yet?
Is Vinny Del Negro fired yet?
Is Dan O' Dowd fired yet?
Is Jerry Angelo fired yet?
With this team every game means something, just my opinion only.
There are only three types of people; makers, takers, and fakers. Which one are you???
I Agree Gaingrene
There are ganes that you were supposed to lose that we will pull out and win. And games we were supposed to win that we lost. Like last years squibb kick against Atlanta. NOOOOOOOOOooooooooo
Easy top 5
5. @Ravens. How long has it been since we won a game in Baltimore?
4. Eagles. My friend is an Eagles fan, and after the game last season in Iraq i stormed out of my hooch and yelled “How about dem Egals( e-gals lol)” So if we don’t win this year he would do the same thing.
3. @Minnesota. Hey, vikings fans are getting too long in the tooth lately. We need to bring em back down to earth.
2. @ATL. The game that almost made me lock and load and shoot people after the squib kick, the pass, and the field goal. My roomate said i went from top of the world from KO’s pass to rock bottom after the field goal lol.
1. @Fudge Packers. Not only because i will have to put the god awful Brett Farve bobblehead on my desk for the season but it is the first game of the season, it is on sunday night football, and it is at Lameblow field. I always love when we win games on Lameblow field.
Atlanta
Yea I want to beat Atlanta bad after last year’s game…BUT, last year’s ending was our fault. A) Squib kicking to Jerious Norwood is stupid, we gave them great field position even if it was 11 seconds or something. B) Prevent defense is okay, but the parachute was so stupid, no one was covering the sidelines and the D-Backs had no idea what field goal range was. Completely our fault so yea I want to beat them and make up for it.
Also, not sold on Matt Ryan? The kid is good man. I still like Cutler more but look what the kid did in one year.
You put a pre-season game on your list?!?!
Yeah that makes sense.
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
