JL8Jeff
01-18-2009, 05:27 PM
Cards tanked in the 2nd half which is unexplainable. Tough to call interference on that play but he should have caught the pass anyway. Not a pretty finish to the game, that's for sure. If Donovan would have led his receivers on some of those passes they would have won. I can't believe the Cards defense allowed the Eagles receivers to get behind them on a couple of those plays. Eagles got the miscall of the game with the kick that did not go out bounds and should have been the Cards in scoring position. At least it was an exciting game at the end. It looked like a blowout at half time. Steelers/Ravens should be a good game.
baddest434
01-18-2009, 05:27 PM
what a good game. tuff no call at the end wheather or not it was a penalty. surely all eagle fans will be crying about it but get over it the games over.

Steelers/Ravens should be a good game.
The first game was good. I think the Steelers/Ravens game is going to be less entertaining. I for one, like high scoring games. I have a feeling this game's gonna turn out to be some 8-7 win for one of the teams.....boring.
Frosty
01-18-2009, 05:32 PM
It was a good ride and YES that was P.I. on Curtis, that's a call that should've been made however they shouldn't have been in that position. A flat start, inconsistent ******* and a well coached first half by the Cards was a lot of overcome...bet no one thought the Eagles would come back and make a game of it. ;)
Kudos to the Cards...they played pretty well.
All is not lost Eagles fans, they sent the Cowboys and their idiot fans and the scumbag Giants packing so it wasn't a total failure this year. :)

eagles deserve credit for making it as far as they did, but i'm sure plenty of people will have plenty of BS to say about that, but it all comes down to the fact that the eagles played like ***** and blew an important game once gain. congrats to the REAL cardinals fans. and there is always next year.

got beat by an ancient QB and a banged up RB. Can't wait for the excuses to start flying and all the "at least we beat XXX" I said as soon as they played a team that has a good offense and a good defense they were losing. The eagles have no Offense and if the D can't keep people from scoring it's lights out.

Hey eagles fans, maybe next year, or the year after that or the year after that one.....etc.Haha, BTW The Giants finished the season 12-5 vs. the egirls 11-6-1, so we still have a better record. Just think you have the whole off season the dust off that "empty" Lombardi tropy case.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. It is an accomplishment for a team like the Cardinals to make it to the Super Bowl considering their history. But regardless if you are a dynasty or a Cinderella team, if you make it to the Super Bowl and lose it pretty much trumps what you did during the year.
Maybe a better example are the Cincinnati Bengals. They finished 4-11 in the '87 season, then went 12-4 in '88 and made it to the Super Bowl and lost. Sure it was a huge accomplishment to go from such a losing season to make it to the Super Bowl the next season. But who talks about them? No one. My point is winning the Super Bowl means everything. I'm sure for a team like the Cardinals, getting there just isn't enough.

I was just sick of hearing all the eagles fans say how great they were because they beat the giants. Different year, different players different situation. Yeah the Eagles knocked out the giants but with a little humility maybe they would have gotten my respect. Their QB even has no class with picking up the phone connected to the team up in the booth. LOWLIFE move if you ask me.
Then they go and lose the next week to a team that has been awful for years and they don't expect giants fans and others to laugh at them. Karma's a bitch so suck it.
Have a seat with dallas and the giants as two teams NOT going to the superbowl.
What is you guys are always saying want me to call the WHAMBULANCE for ya. If you're gonna dish it out learn how to take it when it happens to you.

You have to win the championship no matter what sport. The way teams change from season to season nowadays saying you came in second place is meaningless. Yeah, it was a good season but that's not gonna win you a championship.
The ultimate goal is to win it all however I have to ask you this....have you ever played competitive sports on the same team for a few years? This isn't even Eagles related....you can't sit there and say for any team in any sport that goes from a horrible year to almost winning a championship(or coming close to a championship game) isn't happy. That's what I meant by the big picture. You can't say going from worst to first but just missing out on a championship isn't an accomplishment. You can't say that it isn't a building block for years to come. It's not that black and white, when you're building a franchise looking at one single year is not only retarded it's short-sighted and will get you in trouble. Again, I'm just generally speaking for any team in any sport, it's not cut and dry nor black and white.

They had a good year but they choked at a big game, like they are historically known for. Good year but not a great one. You could actually see the fear and uneasy feelings in McNabb's face when the camera was on him during the later part of the game, and IMO his last pass was sloppy and rushed- more than what's normal for a quarterback with the defense closing in.

My comments weren't about the Eagles, I was generally speaking about sports in regards to "If you don't win it all your season doesn't matter".
You know what I find funny? Every time the Eagles or ******* lose they "choke". How about giving credit to the Cardinals who were a better and hotter team. Did ******* have a great game? No, he missed a few passes and wasn't pin point accurate however he brought them back from being damn near 3 TD's down...doesn't that mean anything? He brought them back to give them the lead and the D just couldn't hold it. Hell you could blame Westbrook for being another no-show...you could blame Jim Johnson for not changing up his defensive schemes...it's so easy to sit here and pick apart a game. Regardless of any of that, this isn't the blame game. I'm giving credit to a Cardinals team..they deserve it.

Yeah. They do choke. Because they fight to get far, and work hard to get there with a little luck on the side, and then never close the deal.

it was a great season. ups and downs for many teams. more first place shifts and late season crumbles than I've seen in recent years. this was a FANTASTIC season for the NFL as a whole (except for the lions).
The Eagles had a great run into the post season. The Eagles/Cards game was 25-24 until under 3 minutes of the 4th when warner connected on the little shuttle pass. It was an awesome game. As an Eagles fan I'm a little heartbroken over a few of the non penalty calls late in the game but I'm not gonna be a little girl about it. As for the season going from a tie to the bungles and benching mcnabb in the ravens game to playing for a spot in the superbowl you cannot call it a failure.
Giants had a good year as well. They fell one game short of where we went..hehe although we DID KNOCK YOU OUT....it almost looked as if eli was nursing a hand injury with the lame ducks he was throwing late in the year.
Onto the season and next coming up....
Giants need to sign Plax or a large reciever back.
Tony Romo cant win a big game.
Detroit will ruin another young number 1 draft pick.
Rivers/Cutlet (hehe) will be a great rivalry in the next few years.
49ers might actually be a contender next year.
Are the dolphins a fluke?
Can Warner win another Super Bowl and solidify his place in the HoF?
Will ESPN continue to overrate the Redskins every year?
Joe Buck sucks.
that is all

So basically the Cardinals deserve no credit and the Eagles lost that game?

You are trying to twist my words. You are exactly wrong. The Cardinals certainly deserve credit for how they played.
It was very evident, to me at least, that McNabb was feeling a ton of pressure when the game was so tight (to be expected), and again, to me it was very obvious that his game style had changed from when they were making TDs only a few minutes beforehand to hurried, erratic play. I'm no expert, and I'm barely a football fan, but that was easy to see. The Cardinals certainly deserve credit for putting that pressure on him.

I think they got 2 first downs on that last drive, yeah he threw a bad pass on that last set of 4 downs, threw a perfect pass to Curtis who was tripped. He brought them back from a big deficit, he did his job, the D didn't hold. Is he the type of QB that will make that 80yd drive with a minute left like a Young, Montana, or Elway? No...but he never was.
