NFL Conference playoff thread

[Auggie]

Eagles must rush Warner. Otherwise he'll kill them.

[AsahinaKimi]

1. Just wow...

21 - 6 Cards before the half...just wow.

[Forkboy]

2. I started leaning the Cards way around Thursday.

They play well at home (especially offensively), and after that Panthers game I'm not putting anything past the Cards. I am a little surprised at the ease with which they're winning so far today though. The Eagles D is struggling mightily.

[Auggie]

3. That Eagle D looks like it's playing soft

Arizona's o-line is pushing them around too.

[AsahinaKimi]

4. I really want a Western team to win...

Hell, I guess I would root for the damn Raiders if they were in the playoffs...
LOL!!

24-6 Cards!!

[Arkana]

7. I do this just to give ESPN seizures.

They have apoplexy if there aren't any East Coast teams in the Super Bowl.

[Bill McBlueState]

42. Does Pittsburgh count as East Coast? n/t

[Arkana]

44. Yes...?

I can only imagine the orgy of excitement had it been a Steelers-Eagles Super Bowl.

The question now is--what will the Governor of Arizona bet Ed Rendell with?

[rocktivity]

5. Another Philly team had better show up for the second half

with no counting their Super Bowl rings before they're hatched.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Arkana]

6. Yo Cards fans--

Congratulations, even if this is a bit premature. You're my official bandwagon team, and if they win the big one I'm ordering a Larry Fitzgerald jersey.

[AsahinaKimi]

8. I will root for the Western teams, however...

ALWAYS will be a 49ers fan! Peroid.

I can't wait for next year!

[Auggie]

9. Card fans have endured a lot. I'd be happy for them if they make it to the S.B.

But I've always liked the Eagles too

[Poiuyt]

10. I'm surprised Quintin Demps wasn't ejected after that late hit

It wasn't even close

[Auggie]

11. Eagles just kicked it up a notch. Now Arizona looks soft.

I hate it when a team with a lead plays too conservatively too early.

24-19 Cardinals, end of the 3rd quarter

[Forkboy]

12. I'm just tuning back in.

This is more what I expected.

I hate it when a team with a lead plays too conservatively too early.

A-freakin'-men! And that goes for any sport. x(

[Auggie]

13. Eagles take the lead. What a turnaround!

25-24 Philadelphia

[AsahinaKimi]

14. Touchdown Cards!!

32-25 Arizona Wooo! This is going to be tight! Nice run in after, for a 7 point lead.

[Auggie]

15. Arizona is in the prevent defense. This could get ugly.

On edit -- now back to the blitz and a four man line. This is nerve-racking

[AsahinaKimi]

17. CONGRATULATIONS CARDINALS!! GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!

WOW!! JUST WOW!!

[Condem]

16. Gotta hand it to the Cards.

Nice drive when the momentum was GONE. They deserved it.

[Auggie]

18. Great playoff game!

I thought it would be an Eagle blow-out. Congratulations to Cardinal fans -- you've been waiting generations.

edit for final score: 32-25, Arizona Cardinals

[AsahinaKimi]

19. Ok GAME TWO...

I will be rooting for the underdog Ravens.. Don't expect much, cause the Steelers are
great, but to see the Cards vs the Ravens in the Superbowl would be interesting.
Especially if the Cards won it..

[Auggie]

20. Must root for Pittsburgh...

apologies. I will never forgive the Ravens for abandoning my hometown, Cleveland.

[AsahinaKimi]

21. awwwwwww man...

I think I would feel the same if the 49ers moved elsewhere.. I don't even like
the idea that the Raiders may end up in Los Angeles again.. They have always been
THE OAKLAND RAIDERS.

[Auggie]

22. I don't want the Niners to even move to Santa Clara!

Sacrilege!

[AsahinaKimi]

23. Amen to that...

Its the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS...

Santa Clara??..no freakin way!!

[Upton]

28. The 49ers may have to move there

in order to get a new stadium. I grew up in Santa Clara Co....it's fine with me if they move down the peninsula..a big part of their fan base is down there anyway.

[Auggie]

29. This is a soap opera that will go on forever.

[AsahinaKimi]

31. There are alot of fans..

In the city as well. Though going to The Stick was a pain in the butt when you went by bus, both coming and going. Parking was crazy as well. I wish they would build it some where down near AT&T park. That would be ideal. I could have sworn there was a plan to put the stadium down there at one point. Then they were talking about building it next to the old stadium. I don't want to have to travel clear down south to go to a game, unless they got BART stopping right in front of it, like it does in Oakland.

[Auggie]

36. My fantasy is to put it where Kezar is

There's hardly enough room. But wouldn't it be great?

[AsahinaKimi]

41. Yes...that would be awesome...

But there's no place to park.. and I am sure people would complain about the noise. I still think some where near AT&T park would be awesome. Close to the Bay, and available on the MUNI line.

[tishaLA]

24. Christ. Bidwell on the sidelines made me want to puke

He's an historically bad owner--like Donald Sterling--and to see him there was a little too much for me. Kudos to Fitzgerald, the coaching staff, etc., but to see Bidwell get anything after all these years he has hamstrung the franchise is a little too much for me.

[AsahinaKimi]

25. So ..is he better or worse then Al Davis?

If he takes the Raiders back to LA again.. He should be
certified as having totally lost it. Then again,.. I am not
too happy with Dr.York either, but his kid, Jed York might do better running the Niners.
Hiring Singletary was a good first step.

[tishaLA]

27. Davis sucks but at least he has accomplished something

Even if the last time was a long time ago. Bidwell has been a fuckup forever. He took over ownership of the team in 72 and what have the Cardinals done since then? And a large part of the team's incompetence has been his tight fist with payroll to players and staff.

[Auggie]

26. Steelers strike first blood (literally): 3-0

[Auggie]

30. What Einstein at CBS picked Nantz and Simms to call this game?

These guys are as exciting as Wonder Bread.

[caraher]

43. CBS coverage is boring in every sport

My biggest pet peeve is Nantz' ritual "there have been M ties and N lead changes" when covering a basketball game. Dude, it's BASKETBALL! The lead changes hands many times in a typical game! Somebody at CBS spends waaay too much time researching useless stats and feeding them to the on-air folks.

[AsahinaKimi]

32. YIKES... wow

(14:16) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger pass deep right to S.Holmes for 65 yards, TOUCHDOWN. (Listening to it on the radio, and watching the game center on NFL.com)
13-0 STEELERS

--------------------------------
(2:44) #92 Ngata, #78 Terry reports as eligible. W.McGahee left guard for 3 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Field goal good.

13-7 STEELERS

[Auggie]

33. Halftime: 13-7, Pittsburgh

[underpants]

34. 124 Minute first half

:eyes:

[AsahinaKimi]

35. Third quarter..

16-7 Steelers
The Ravens know there is a football game going on right? ^^

[Auggie]

37. Polamalu interception for a TD! That should ice it.

Guess it was a matter for time with Flacco.

23-14, Steelers.

[AsahinaKimi]

38. O.O" Wow!

(4:39) (No Huddle, Shotgun) J.Flacco pass short right intended for D.Mason INTERCEPTED by T.Polamalu at BAL 40. T.Polamalu for 40 yards, TOUCHDOWN. FG Good.

23-14 Steelers


Hope McGahee is ok, that must have been a terrible hit..

[Auggie]

39. Ms. AsahinaKimi...

Enjoyed watching the games with you today. Who knows, maybe next year our 49ers will make the playoffs...

[AsahinaKimi]

40. oh yeah..that would be fantastic...

Thanks, it was fun!!
I will be watching Coach Singletary..to see how he does, and I am hoping the 49ers
get some great draft picks. Things have to get better, lets hope Jed York
does the right thing and make San Francisco proud again!
