I like Baltimore. That defense is really good. Probably won't happen but that is who I'd like to see win.

Did you see that all the road teams are favored this weekend in the first round of the playoffs? Remarkable.

Indy is the hottest team headed into the playoffs, so I will take the Falcons and the running game over Indy in the Bowl!! Haha

TkleMstr52

12-31-2008, 12:29 PM

I want Tennesse, Baltimore or Atlanta but dont think any of them will win it.

Ravens over Eagles is my choice, so it will be the opposite!!:pound:

The Arizona Cardinals in the NFC title?! :wtf: I checked the Cardinals history. Before last week the Cardinals had two playoff wins in their ENTIRE FRANCHISE HISTORY! They had a playoff win in 1947 and another in 1998. That's over 50 years between playoff wins! :eek: Now they get two playoff wins in one week? Wow. :righton:

Damn, I didnt know that Mc!? Thats a cool bit of history!!

It wold be fun to see Arizona win the Super Bowl only so we could hear for the next 8 months how much the playoff format should change. LOL.

You can keep some of the people happy some of the time but you can't keep all of the people happy all of the time.

im sure plenty of those cardinals fan would enjoy those 8 months... no matter what the outcome from here on out

McCovey

01-12-2009, 12:21 PM

The 2008 Cardinals remind me of the 1979 Los Angeles Rams. That Ram team went 9-7 and got to the Super Bowl where they almost beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. They had a 19-17 lead in the fourth quarter.

Super bowl will be Eagles vs. Steelers with the Eagles winning.:eek:

An all Pennsylvania Super Bowl?

That's how I see it from Marin Co.

SF Kid

LOL @ Philadelphia.

24-6 Zona at half time.

SF Kid

01-18-2009, 03:48 PM

Ooops...Looks like Arizona is pulling another of their vaunted CHOKES. 25-24 Philly -- 4th quarter.

Remember Denny Green's melt down after they blew that big lead to Chicago a few years ago?

``The Bears are who we thought they were. We let' 'em off the hook". :bugeye:

Déjà vu?

McCovey

01-18-2009, 03:56 PM

Wow, Larry Fitzgerald REALLY wants this game! :p

SF Kid

01-18-2009, 04:02 PM

Wow...Zona answers...going for two...

Gooooooooooooood.

32-25 Cardinals. Impressive. Fitz is no doubt the best receiver in the league. And to think the Raiders passed on him to draft Robert Gallery. Ugh.

McCovey

01-18-2009, 04:02 PM

What?! An Arizona Cardinals team with grit, heart, and toughness? :eek: Cards up 32-25.

McCovey

01-18-2009, 04:07 PM

Great another great example of the "prevent" defense. :rolleyes:

SF Kid

01-18-2009, 04:26 PM

Great game.

Whiz takes over that POS franchise and takes them to the SB in two years. The same coach that turned the Raiders down flat...no matter how much the Raiders spin it. He turned them down.

Ravens/Steelers up in 5 minutes. :D

ravens vs cards in superbowl
winner ravens

SF Kid

Ravens hanging in there in Pittsburgh.

Who knows...could be.

13-7 Steelers ---- almost half time..

Steelers will win it all!:beerbang:

Pitt is a team I really dislike, but they should handle the Cards

McCovey

Didn't they say that about the Falcons, Panthers, and Eagles? :shrug:

TkleMstr52

01-19-2009, 12:33 PM

Yes they did, and I hope to once again be wrong:beerbang:

SF Kid

01-19-2009, 05:03 PM

I give the cards a chance. Why not. I bet Warner throws the ball 50 times in the Super Bowl.

If the fricking Philadelphia Phillies can win the World Series why can't the Cardinals win the Super Bowl? :pound:

After the Cards-Eagles game on Sunday they posted on screen that only the Chicago Cubs (100 years) have gone longer than the Chicago/St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals (61 years) without a championship.

SF Kid

01-19-2009, 06:02 PM

The Cubs -- 100 years. I saw that too. LOL.

Wait, the Giants can't be too far behind.

McCovey

01-19-2009, 07:28 PM

The Cubs -- 100 years. I saw that too. LOL.

Wait, the Giants can't be too far behind.
I believe this is the list:

1. Chicago Cubs (100 years)
2. Arizona Cardinals (61 years)
3. Cleveland Indians (60 years)
4. San Francisco Giants (54 years)
6. Detroit Lions (51 years)
7. Philadelphia Eagles (48 years)

What a mess.

McCovey

What a mess.
Funny how the Indians were like 1-2 outs away for a World Series title in 1997 and the Giants were five outs away in 2002. Actually, not funny. :(

I did not need to be reminded!:(

Sorry about that, Bear. I still can't forget Willie Mays popping the bubbly before Game 6 was over. :rolleyes:

TkleMstr52

01-20-2009, 05:48 PM

As far as they have come, I give them a good shot, noone expected them to get out of the 1st round.

McCovey

01-20-2009, 05:56 PM

"Arizona Cardinals" and "Super Bowl" seem like mutually exclusive phrases. :o

McCovey

01-31-2009, 11:49 PM

Alright fellas, what are you last minute Super Bowl predictions?

SF Kid

02-01-2009, 06:52 AM

I like the Steelers to win. I want the Cardinals to win.

Having Pittsburgh get their sixth ring is sick. I'd rather see the Kurt Warner story get even better. A win today for Zona probably gets Kurt in to the HOF

Bear

02-01-2009, 12:25 PM

Pit. BIG!:eek:

SF Kid

02-01-2009, 02:23 PM

I agree Bear. I think fans and the media have had too much time to think about ways that Zona may win. I guess it's possible but in the end I think the Steelers defense is just too tough. Less than two hours and we'll see. I just hope it's a close game and not a blow out.

jandajuice

02-01-2009, 07:29 PM

its a close game hopefully cards finish the game wit a win

jandajuice

02-01-2009, 09:04 PM

booo the steelers won thats it for kurt he is done playing

Bear

02-01-2009, 09:45 PM

Good game and a lot closer than I thought it would be. This again is why they play the Game.:toast:

McCovey

02-01-2009, 10:33 PM

Bear

02-01-2009, 11:52 PM

A very entertaining, albiet sloppy, game! The Cards showed some real grit and heart to not just fold after being down 20-7. The Steelers kept their cool at the end as well. It's probably one of the most entertaining Super Bowls I've seen.

It's nice to see we saw the same game. Some times I think we watch the same thing and see entirely different things.:beerbang:

jandajuice

02-02-2009, 07:13 PM

who thinks kurt warner will retire after this past season

SF Kid

02-02-2009, 08:05 PM

I doubt it. I'm sure Warner will want to come back and see if this year was a fluke or if he can get to the big dance one more time.

Bear

02-02-2009, 08:49 PM

I doubt it. I'm sure Warner will want to come back and see if this year was a fluke or if he can get to the big dance one more time.

I am with you Kid. Its tough to leave when you have had a dream season without winning it all. He will return for another try.:rolleyes:

SF Kid

02-02-2009, 08:51 PM

I really don't see how he wouldn't return. Of course, he's gonna want to get paid but I can't blame him for that.

Bear

02-02-2009, 08:54 PM

Of course he wants to be paid big time. He just took this team to the Super Bowl for the first time ever. I would want to be paid too.:p

TkleMstr52

02-02-2009, 11:19 PM

He took a team that noone really expected to get out of the first round. Big paycheck should be coming his way!! Hopefully from the 49ers!!:pound:

SF Kid

What do you think the odds are the Cardinals won't even make the playoffs next season. I'd say they're 50/50.

McCovey

What do you think the odds are the Cardinals won't even make the playoffs next season. I'd say they're 50/50.

Given how crappy the NFC West is I think the Cardinals are looking pretty good for '09. I don't think the Cards are that far from being a 12 win team.

Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Upon further review, Nielsen Media Research now says the Super Bowl between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals was the most-watched in history.

Nielsen said 98.7 million people, on average, were watching Pittsburgh's 27-23 victory Sunday night. That beats the 97.5 million who watched the 2008 game, which held the record for the most popular Super Bowl.

On Monday, Nielsen had reported that this year's game had 95.4 million viewers -- impressive but not a record-setter.

Nielsen explained the discrepancy of more than 3 million viewers by saying a more complete check of their records revealed additional viewership on some digital tier networks. The company hadn't been aware that they were showing the game.

02-04-2009, 12:58 PM

Even the Bear feels this is the most watched sporting event at the current moment. But the question is why. Is it the game, the ads or the half time show? I think if you took any one of these things out of the package it would be a different story. How much different is up for debate.:confused:
In essence the Super Bowl Sunday is a "holiday". Even people who don't watch the NFL will watch the Super Bowl. They see it as a time to spend with friends and family, good food, drinks, etc. It wasn't always so. I know someone that went to Super Bowl I and bought their tickets at the stadium on game day! :eek: Super Bowl I didn't even sell out. That's seems so foreign today.

I agree it is just another reason to get drunk. However, man what a game!

02-04-2009, 11:24 PM

For those of us who dont drink. Its cool to watch the game with my dad and bro. I am surprised this was the most watched of them all tho. GREAT GAME!! Bad result!! 49ers are improving, Az will be lucky to get double digit victories, let alone 12.

TkleMstr52

02-04-2009, 11:45 PM

It also depends a lot on Warners decision. Leinart is no Warner.

#25

02-05-2009, 10:31 PM

Warner will play next year. Where else is he going to make that kind of money?

TkleMstr52

02-05-2009, 11:52 PM

He doesnt need the money. He wants another shot at the ring.

Bear

02-05-2009, 11:55 PM

He doesnt need the money. He wants another shot at the ring.

Needing and wanting are two different things. He will not walk from the money, and if he get another ring along with it so be it!:beerbang:
