Arizona Cardinals Discussion Thread

[RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES]

Congratulations Cardinals looks like both lower seeds came up big today. On to the NFC and AFC championship games good luck.

So, the more I look at it, the more I believe we don't really need to look at the offensive line isn't a need. We have Gandy, who just turned thirty a little while back, and helped keep John Abraham and Julius Peppers to extremely pedestrian numbers (a whole total of 4 tackles and 1 TFL between both) and he has played well all year. Reggie Wells hasn't been bad, and is only 28. Deuce Lutui and Levi Brown are very dependable on the right side, leaving the only question marks in the center position, mostly Lyle Seindlein.

If we can bring in some competition for him, such as a veteran FA or an Antoine Caldwell, I think that'd be best.

An interesting situation is taking Alex Mack. He just seems like a Grimm type of lineman. An absolute "hog" in the middle, very nasty side and could be the guy we're looking for. Honestly, if we get into a trade down to, let's say, 25-28, I would look strongly at Mack.

As a long suffering Lions fan I would like to give my congratulations to all the Cards fans out there. I hope you take it all and will be rooting for the Cards in the NFC/SB.

Trade down? Aren't the Cards guaranteed to be among the last 4 picks now that they're in the NFC championship game? But I agree, Mack would be a nice addition.

No, its only the superbowl teams that move up to 31 and 32.

I still think the O-Line should be addressed on thie first day. What happens if Gandy or Wells goes down to injury? Who replaces them? It is not guarenteed that the line will continue to play this well, especially Gandy. I would still like to get Duke in the first round.

I can't believe we're one game from the Superbowl, and we're playing at home. Wow. The way the team played down the stretch I didn't see this coming at all.

I still think we need to strengthen the line. We've been lucky injury-wise and that's contributed to the success, but surely we can still upgrade at those positions.

Tell me about it. :) Unbelievable. I thought defeating Carolina was amazing but Philly overcoming NYG to get us the home tie was something else.

I'm currently trying to look into flights / tickets to possibly come over for the game. Who knows when it will happen again.

Tickets are already sold out I think. There was an article somewhere that said 20k tickets were sold in 6 minutes or something like that.

[RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES]

Cardinals fans who would you rather play in the superbowl if you win the NFCC game ??? STEELERS/RAVENS????

ya sold out, i waited for 40 minutes got nothing, of course there is always stubhub and scalpers

[fenikz]

Quan practiced today, so that's good news, ESPN also just said something about Westbrook reaggrivating his knee, not sure how serious it is or anything, I would expect him to play no matter what though

[jayceheathman]

When did Arizona learn to play football?

[iBoldin]

I don't like Todd Haley, I don't like his name, nor his face. But the man put out a great offensive gameplan in the first half today, and it lifted us to the Super Bowl.

The only thing I disliked was coming out of the gate in the second half running the football. We were having our way with Philly's secondary until we started trying to run out the clock. Haley needs to recognize when to put a team down for the count, and go for the knockout blow.

That being said, wow @ Larry Fitzgerald. The epitome of playoff warrior. He has simply refused to be covered, even if it's two guys. He gave it to Sheldon Brown and the Eagles' secondary with no lube today. Jim Johnson does an outstanding job of neutralizing our top talents, but I don't think even he could find an answer for Larry.

Good to see Warner not getting rattled by those bull roughing the passer calls. I thought Demps should have just gotten kicked out, no need for that in football. He takes that hit, then goes down and energizes a touchdown out of our team.

Let's hope in these two weeks leading up to Tampa Bay everyone can get healthy. It looks as if Pittsburgh will beat Baltimore at this point, and it should be a doozy of a game. I absolutely cannot wait.

GO CARDS!

[yodapoop]

Kurt Warner FTW!!!!!!!!

[aNYtitan]

Congrats you guys, no one was giving your team any chance and you went out and proved all the critics and naysayers wrong. Thats just downright impressive

[fenikz]

[d34ng3l021]

Congratulations on making the first SB in franchise history. The Cardinals are my underdog pick for the SB.

[AussieBoy]

Words Fail....

Did i really just see that?

OMG.

**** yeah!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got into this game more than any other game I've watched. The first half we completely dominated them and then they decided to piss the game away until halfway through the 4th quarter. **** was pissing me off. Guys rallied though and pulled it off though.

Fitzy is a god.

[PACKmanN]

If the o-line plays well then the Superbowl is as good as yours.

[Bosanac01]

******* sig bet i swear man.
