I feel good about this game, which kinda scares me. We had trouble with them earlier this yr and fell behind 17 - 3. Just a little cautious about being over confident. But I am confident.

Feeling even better with this weather tonight. I dont want it 60 degrees and mild. I want it cold and with light drizzle and a wind blowing. That makes it more of a running game where we have a big edge. Doesn't let Warner have his desire to throw down the field nearly as much as he wants.

Fatlever, I hope you get down on the field and give jake hell! He is costing us this game right now. Fumble at our 15 and then throwing an INT in the endzone. Come on Jake, get your crap together. Foxy, just run the ball, damnit. Let our backs win this for us.

Fatlever: You'll be happy to know the Bobcats rally from down in the 4th for a Victory in Washington! Great news!

Bad news: Jake is costing us this Playoff game. I can only imagine what the fans there are saying, wanting him pulled. Another INT, this time in our end, and we are down 27 - 7. We were up 7 -0 after 3 minutes, and then Jake went bad on us. OMG, this is pathetic. Dont know what Foxy is going to say to the guys at Halftime, but they might think about pulling Jake. Foxy is very loyal so I doubt Jake is pulled, but he's costing us this game in a big way. Our defense cannot keep having to come onto the field with the Cardinals already in our end of the field. It's demoralizing and they are getting exhausted. **That and no one seems to be able to cover Larry Fitzgerald. Boldin is out, and they cannot seem to double cover Fitzgerald and he's well over 100 years in the 1st half.

fatlever, hope you have a great time! I wish I were with you!

This is pathetic. I'm not even watching the second half - I'm listening to Corrosion of Conformity and pledged to down the remnants of a bottle of Jager if the Panthers lose. WTF? The Panthers are arguably the best team in the NFL, basically meaning the best football team in the world, and are literally unbeatable at home. The Cardinals are 3-7 outside of their own **** division and barely beat a quite average Falcons team. **** hell. 27-7 at the half...

I got to see a friend I hadn't seen in a couple months today though, which was awesome. We went to a bar I hadn't been to before where I'd been meaning to go for a while. Anyone else have something positive to say?

On the positive side, if Jake continues to play poorly, Richardson may force Fox to make a move and get us a QB who is not so prone to mistakes. When Jake is on, he's fine. But when he's bad, he's really really bad.

OMG, this is a nightmare! Our defense forces a TO and we get the ball at the Cardinal 31, and Jake throws another INT! Please Foxy, just pull him and play someone else. Then in the offseason either trade for someone or Draft us a QB. Jake is just killing us.

Yeah! A 4th INT, in the endzone yet again! Way to go Jake! Can you screw up even more? For the love of God, just bench him Foxy. Stick a fork in him - he's done!

Good Lord Foxy! You put him back in and he's thrown a 5th INT! Christ man, pull him and put him out of his misery! He's done! Happy Bithday Jake!

And that last second TD pass to Smith does nothing to change my mind. Still a 33 - 13 loss.

And you made Fatlever sit through that embarrassment in the rain when he could have been enjoying a Bobcat victory! You should be ashamed!

wow. that completely sucked ass. i had a bad feeling and figured that a few bad plays by jake may keep the cardinals in the game.... but damn, never in my wildest dreams did i think we'd get run out of the building. jake was horrific. our defense was equally horrific. we made no adjustments to try and slow fitz. they left him in single coverage most of the night. even after he had 150+ yards we still werent rolling a safty to help.

i did dvr the bobcats game, so at least i had something to cheer me up when i got home.

we stayed until the last snap of the game. by the end, it was just comical. so, despite the rain and ass whooping, still had a fun time. i think going to 80+ bobcats games over the past 3 years has made me used to blowouts and how to deal with them. who just laugh and have a good time. no need getting angry. had we lost at the last minute, then i would be pissed.

I think it's the other way around. A loss to the Eagles in a nail-biter would been a tip-ypur-hat scenario. To the Cardinals, less so, but still more of a situation of giving the Cardinals credit than being overly angry. This is the worst way to lose.

6-6 in the second half though. Of course, I would've kicked the damn extra point...
