Elrostar Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Why did the Cardinals under-perform so much during the regular season? Yes, they're really outplaying the Eagles in every aspect of the game so far, but I'm just left wondering why they were so appalling earlier in the year. And I'm very much looking forward to the Ravens-Steelers game. I really hope the Ravens can pull it off this time. Let's see some top level defense in action, people!

Can't help but think now that they dogged it in the second half of the season in a way that's an insult to dogs everywhere. Don't know whether to be inspired by this extreme underdog or be offended by a team that doesn't show any heart when it doesn't have to. You're not supposed to be able to flip a switch like this. Especially how the Cardinals defense is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Cardinals were the favorite in that game and looked very good before it (McNabb got benched the game before that and they looked lost). The Eagles stomped them and the Cardinals went into a tailspin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Alright, we have ourselves a ball game. Should be a great finish. ETA: Missed XP? Holy shit, that could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Storm Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 The Eagles D had done a better job in covering Fitzgerald this half; McNabb is getting the ball too his receivers when they are on the move and getting a lot of yards after the catch.

Mexal Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I wonder if the Cardinals have the mental fortitude to handle this collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well that turned around quick. Helluva catch by Jackson. This game has entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Storm Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I saw a lot of Jackson in college, but that was one of the better catches I have ever seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Wolf Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 This is a great post-season game. 1st half dominance by the Cards, now the Eagles have clawed their way back...and it's just a battle now. Im digging this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Larry Fitzgerald is more than a man. Also... Andy Reid, WTF? How do you not go for 2 at the end of the 3rd? Looks like second guessing because of the Akers XP miss, but still. And then, what were they doing on the 2-pt conversion in the 4th that they botched? What a ludicrous set of playcalls. Looks like this will come down to a last-minute Eagles drive. Should be fun (I'm sure Eagles fans are shitting themselves right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
