5. Watching Denver and Arizona.
:boring:

Luckily I have the play by play, thanks to my DUFFL, even though I didn't make the playoffs.:)

Where's that much vaunted Bears D? This is worse than the Jets game!:applause:

10. We can only hope that Super Bowl XL VIII is played in these conditions.
What a treat that would be for ALL fans.

12. I think New England as a team dominates in the snow
Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 05:45 PM by JonLP24
I recall a game a few years ago where Matt Cassell and Randy Moss absolutely dominated the Cardinals in the snow. Gave them the worst loss of the season by far that year.

On edit-Defense crushed them. Matt Leinart was in the game by halftime.

14. Cards have the Broncos number so far...
I think they said that AZ had never beat Denver since they were in the same division...

15. That is correct
Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 06:13 PM by JonLP24
I will say Arizona is being where they are supposed to be on defense. That is a major change from how they played all season. Moreno has played well when healthy and they're doing a relatively well job of holding him. Orton has played very well this season and while they're doing a good job of pass defense, he is missing his throws.

Offense is playing a little better than they have this season but still not very well. Skelton isn't doing too bad in his first start. A stronger arm than Max Hall (who struggles terribly on throws longer than 10 yards) and he isn't making the crucial mistake that Derek Anderson makes, IOW throwing it straight to the defense. Also he was hurt by drops by Steve Breaston and Early Doucet early in the game. Still the screen pass on a 3rd & 10 and not running the ball often is still a problem with the offensive play-calling.

Oh and Jay Feely should get player of the week. He scored all 16 points this half.

But yeah, Denver is 7-0 lifetime against Arizona. They don't play often, last time was 2006.

20. Absolutely loved it--watched it online instead of my local game
Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 07:52 PM by rocktivity
And the stands were far from empty, even WITH such a lopsided score.

And I'd love to see the Super Bowl played in this kind of weather. I hope the the 2014 game in Giants Stadium is the first step toward all NFL cities being able to host the game.

:headbang:

23. The best thing is that the Bears lost.
But then my Packers looked like crap so it may not matter.
