Bummer.

As frustrating as the Cards can be most of the time, it sure is nice to watch my favorite team play every week.

As usual, maybe next year...

Let's go Cards! Let's end this dismal season on a great note!

Ladies and gentleman, it's been a privilege posting with you....







What am I saying, it's almost time to start arguing about the draft?

Westgate are you affiliated with the Cardinals organization in any way...? Or do you just have a habit of doing this same introduction every Sunday?

Just curious.

[Mibrilane #56]

I think it's shameful that this thread started at 12:01 a.m. and not at 12:00 exactly. :wink:

No, I am employed with the US Postal Service. I was never employed or have any personal connections with the front office employees or players of the Arizona Cardinals. I'm just a loyal Cardinals fan like the rest of the registered users and participants of this message board. I apologize for my redunancy on the game day threads all season.

Westgate, you are awesome! please continue exactly the way you start these threads.....very professional and informative, I thought you were part of the organization.

Many thanks for the links and information, you are a true Cardinals fan and much appreciated. :yourock:

When did Dale Hallestrae play for the Cardinals?

[Arby Rick]

Westgate, Ive enjoyed your start to the game day threads and always welcome your comments. Thanks for them.

Oh, but one thing, we dont have a chance to win three in a row today cuz we lost to Denver......:oops: BUT we do have a chance to win 4 of our last 5 which I think would be EXCELLENT!!!!

take care!

[Westgate]

Hi, everyone.:) I found more detailed profiles of today's NFL On FOX broadcasters of the Cardinals/Chargers game. Matt Devlin is the current TV play-by-play broadcaster for the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA, and Dale Hellestrae is an 18-year veteran of the NFL, his last team playing for the Ravens. Hellestrae has been broadcasting occasionally for the NFL On Fox, including the Cardinals @ Browns game back in 2003. He played professionally for the Bills, Cowboys, and Ravens from 1985 to 2003, but not with the Cardinals. :oops:

no need.. I like it quite a bit actually :Cards logo:

[Keenum]

Less than 20 minutes left.

[Cardsfan2000]

Bump
Let's go :Cards logo:

[T.J.]

grrr...stupid Cowboys game is still on

[Keenum]

Rams dominate Vikings. Jackson ran all over the "2nd best run D in NFL history."

Don't let Rivers got hot!

[Billy Baroo]

grrr...stupid Cowboys game is still on

I LOVE it that the Cowgirl fans don't get to watch the end of their game! They need to move to Texas if they don't like it. :bibl:

[Mibrilane #56]

Was I hearing things, or did the announcer just call #24 "Adrian Wildon"?

[Mibrilane #56]

Go Beisel! :thumbsup:

[Billy Baroo]

No score for you SD!

[Keenum]

INT. Card got ball.

[darthcard]

:Cards logo: All i keep thinking is if the offensive coordinator of the super chargers is auditioning for the cardinals.This could be a painful game to watch.The score will not be as bad as the true story of this game.I honestly dont know how the cards can stop the chargers.If they keep the chargers in check with this cast the cards should think twice about letting def-coordinator pendergast go.

[Keenum]

Wow! Anyone see the end of the Lions/Cowboys game?

Anway, Let's go offense!

[Keenum]

Nice pass by Warner to Q.

[Keenum]

Am I the only one on here? Keep it going O!

[Mibrilane #56]

Wow! Anyone see the end of the Lions/Cowboys game?

Anway, Let's go offense!
Beautiful loss by the Cowpokes!

:partytime:

[Hollywood]

I am getting a good feeling about this game.

[Keenum]

Beautiful loss by the Cowpokes!

:partytime:

lol. I thought you guys would like it.

[Mibrilane #56]

Am I the only one on here? Keep it going O!
I've got to go run and get some luncheon, but I'll be here with you in spirit...

:toothorn:

[Keenum]

I've got to go run and get some luncheon, but I'll be here with you in spirit...

:toothorn:

Well, that's all that matters then.:biggrin:

[Egomaniac247]

Maybe I'm a little out of the loop but who the heck is Monty Biesel?

[Keenum]

TD. James 8 yard run! Cards take 7-0 lead.

[Hollywood]

Maybe I'm a little out of the loop but who the heck is Monty Biesel?


Game MVP



TOUCHDOWN:exclamationmark:

[Egomaniac247]

Kitna & Romo had a shoot out today, both going over 300 yards passing...

I have a feeling Warner's gonna have something close to 400 yards passing today, I just hope he can contain his turnovers.


Wow, a redzone TD for Edge!? Sweet....I'm glad they gave him one rather than sticking Shipp in.

[Hollywood]

Not just a red zone but 8 yards out. Its good to see since for so many years we couldn't score on the ground from 1 yard out.:banghead:

[Egomaniac247]

I'm watching the game tracker on nfl.com here in VA....I see Q with two rushes....did they pull 2 reverses in one drive?

[JCardinal81]

Boldin a beautiful 18 yard run to set it up. Is it just me though, or was that player earlier an obvious fumble???

[Hollywood]

the first was going to be a trick play with Q passing to Fitz but he got tackled before passing the ball

[Keenum]

How is the Chargers passing D? I know they are usually pretty good against the run.

[1of3]

Maybe I'm a little out of the loop but who the heck is Monty Biesel?

Linebacker and special teams guy we got halfway through the season from The Pats

[Hollywood]

Boldin a beautiful 18 yard run to set it up. Is it just me though, or was that player earlier an obvious fumble???


shhhhhh...we don't want to talk about that. :biggrin:

[Billy Baroo]

Boldin a beautiful 18 yard run to set it up. Is it just me though, or was that player earlier an obvious fumble???

The SD player that recobered it was out of bounds when he touched the ball

[Egomaniac247]

Its good to see since for so many years we couldn't score on the ground from 1 yard out

Man, isn't that the truth? I can't tell you how many times we had 1st and goal and didn't make it over the past 3 years....or worse yet, the ball on the goal line and we couldn't punch through.

You're 100% right on that one man....it's a testament to the rushing game play (RB & O-Line) over the past 5 games.

[Oath]

KTAR doesnt seem to be working. Anyone know where i can listen tot he game? thanks and GO RED!

[Hollywood]

How is the Chargers passing D? I know they are usually pretty good against the run.


they are ranked 12th

[Keenum]

they are ranked 12th

Thanks.

[Egomaniac247]

Man, I know they are playing for the playoff seed positions and all but.....

If I were the Chargers there is no way I'd have LT in this game.....Michael Turner is more than capable and probably better than a lot of starting RB's around the league anyways...

[1of3]

KTAR doesnt seem to be working. Anyone know where i can listen tot he game? thanks and GO RED!

Having the same problem - sorry cant help you

[Egomaniac247]

Michael Turner is more than capable and probably better than a lot of starting RB's around the league anyways...


LOL as soon as I post this he rips off a 14 yard run.

[Keenum]

Man, I know they are playing for the playoff seed positions and all but.....

If I were the Chargers there is no way I'd have LT in this game.....Michael Turner is more than capable and probably better than a lot of starting RB's around the league anyways...

Turn could start for probably more than half of the NFL.

[Keenum]

Cards stopped them.

[Saturn5]

KTAR radio link not working.

Any other internet sites to supply the radio broadcast?

[Hollywood]

KTAR radio link not working.

Any other internet sites to supply the radio broadcast?

What is ESPN Radio's local affiliate....i know its 860 but not the call letters. They might have it

[Keenum]

Score again offense.

[Hollywood]

anyone check the paper today....we are 14 point underdogs :Cards logo:

[Egomaniac247]

**** I just read where Michael Turner is actually a free agent after this year....dude is gonna get paid next year!

[Keenum]

nice punt

[T.J.]

Volek is in for injured Rivers....dont know what to make of this. I always thought that Volek is a starting quarterback stuck on the bench. He could light this thing up

[SunDevilDon]

Hey everyone!!!

I'm late but here...

[T.J.]

Volek is in for injured Rivers....dont know what to make of this. I always thought that Volek is a starting quarterback stuck on the bench. He could light this thing up

nevermind Rivers is back in, but noticeably limping

[910fan]

The D could really use a 3 and out here.

[Keenum]

Hey everyone!!!

I'm late but here...

Welcome.

[SunDevilDon]

On that slant to Gates earlier, did you guys hear the announcer say that Rolle is a "pretty good cornerback?" LMAO

[Hollywood]

Clipping....you think. It couldn't have been more obvious.

[Keenum]

So Rivers is limping? Chargers may take him out if they think it'll hurt them in the playoffs.

[Hollywood]

On that slant to Gates earlier, did you guys hear the announcer say that Rolle is a "pretty good cornerback?" LMAO

Yeah...who are these guys...one of them sounds like Ray Ramano.

[T.J.]

sone of a ****** theres that soft coverage again....we are gonna p!ss away a 2nd and 24

[Egomaniac247]

See that kills me, why if you're the Chargers, do you risk having one of your star players risk missing the playoffs....if Rivers took a bad hit, I'd have Volek or Whitehurst or the ******* towelboy in the game ASAP...ditto LT.

Anyways, TJ, I agree about Volek....he has a ******* cannon for an arm and I think he's a starter too....Minnesota shoulda taken a crack at him.

[Hollywood]

Come on....


DE-FENSE:exclamationmark: DE-FENSE:exclamationmark:

[T.J.]

wide open McCardell....this issue has to be tended to during the offseason

[SunDevilDon]

At least the Cowboys lost to the Lions today!!!

Anyone going to the Glendale block party? If so, is this the first year they are having one? Anyone worried they may run out of beer if so?

[Hollywood]

Holy cow. That would have been an awesome play......had he caught it. :bibl:

[Cards-N-Yotes]

Chargers score a TD & take the lead. :Angry:

[T.J.]

wide open gates for the TD.....look familiar??

[Hollywood]

unfortunately yes....out secondary better get it together.

[SunDevilDon]

JESSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Where the heck are the DB's????

[Hollywood]

JESSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Where the heck are the DB's????

Wasn't that them grabbing a facemask in vain?

[T.J.]

Pendergast either needs to fix the coverage, or get fired. Bottom line

[Keenum]

well, now that the O-line and running game has gotten better, it's time to move on to the DBs...

[T.J.]

Ever heard of the one legged man in an a$S kicking contest?? Well, we are getting beat by a one-legged QB...just as embarassing

[Keenum]

James with 2 nice runs.

[AaronIsDaBomB]

The Chargers are having success running against the Cardinals pass package and passing against the run stopping package.:oops:

[T.J.]

2 false starts in a row.....grrrr

[Keenum]

HORRIBLE. Two straight false starts.

[Hollywood]

James with 2 nice runs.


Yeah...its starting to look like he is going to have a great day running the ball.

[Keenum]

How has Warner looked? His stats are good, but has he looked rushed, do the gloves look like they help, etc...?

[SunDevilDon]

How has Warner looked? His stats are good, but has he looked rushed, do the gloves look like they help, etc...?

Looks to me like he's making a point of getting rid of the ball quick and there were a couple of close calls, but he's hanging in the pocket tough and throwing an accurate ball.

[Oath]

anyone have any alt websites i can listen to the game? KTAR is down for matiance

[Keenum]

Rivers passing all over the place. Is this to our DBs fault, the D-line not getting a good pass rush, or what?

[Mookie]

Our pass D is like a sieve

[Hollywood]

yeah....if rivers is on one leg why are we not blitzing the snot out of him?

[Egomaniac247]

Our DB's are playing like they're trying to help the team's management with their first round pick decision :)

[CardsFanJoe]

What is Clancy running, a 7 deep zone? We're rushing 4 and someone is ALWAYS wide frieking open underneath!! Going out with a bang Clancy?? Nice job!!

[Hollywood]

anyone have any alt websites i can listen to the game? KTAR is down for matiance


Sorry man. I don't know. Can anyone help Oath out?

[T.J.]

we suck

[Hollywood]

and a four man rush....you have got to be kidding me.

[Keenum]

Don't know of anything. NFL.com has that Field Pass thing, but it'd be useless to buy it now. I'm forced to watch the game on NFL.com's gamecenter.

Dang. Another TD Chargers.

[T.J.]

our DBs were looking to put a licking on themselves rather than the receiver

[Egomaniac247]

Man I tell ya what, Marty S. needs to take a page out of the Eagle's playbook and put LT on the bench....Philly has benched both Garcia & Westbrook...

Imagine the backlash if LT blows out his knee....

[1of3]

Sorry man. I don't know. Can anyone help Oath out?

Sorry Oath - I am in exactly the same position. Its 10.25 New Years Eve here and I staid in because the game was meant to be on an internet stream site but thats not available either.

[Keenum]

OK Denny, show me something here and DO NOT just run out the clock. Try for some points before halftime!

[Oath]

Sorry Oath - I am in exactly the same position. Its 10.25 New Years Eve here and I staid in because the game was meant to be on an internet stream site but thats not available either.

Man this sucks its the last game of the year!

[Keenum]

Man I tell ya what, Marty S. needs to take a page out of the Eagle's playbook and put LT on the bench....Philly has benched both Garcia & Westbrook...

Imagine the backlash if LT blows out his knee....

Well, Philly has clinched the NFC East, and that's all. Chargers HAVE to win or the Ravens have to lose (which doesn't look like it'll happen) for them to get the #1 seed. I can see what they are doing.

[Egomaniac247]

Yea but they have Turner sitting on the sidelines, a more than capable back....and you're playing with fire with the best RB in the league, going into the playoffs with a rookie QB...

Not smart.

[Egomaniac247]

Looks like they aren't just sitting back and running out the clock...that's good.

They need to go for it on any questionable 4th down play today.....be aggressive, we have nothing to lose.

[Keenum]

Yea but they have Turner sitting on the sidelines, a more than capable back....and you're playing with fire with the best RB in the league, going into the playoffs with a rookie QB...

Not smart.

True. Chargers probably wouldn't notice much of a difference in the running game if Turner went in. They will probably put those guys in the first chance they get to, though.

Common O, get at LEAST 3 before the half.

[Egomaniac247]

Yea, if they come out in the 2nd half with LT still running, they are officially idiots.....

[Egomaniac247]

Oh no, I just realized something.....we're doing a 2 minute drill with Kurt Warner lol...(remembers last year)

[Keenum]

Yea, if they come out in the 2nd half with LT still running, they are officially idiots.....

lol

And Spurlock getting INVOLVED on this drive!

[Egomaniac247]

LOL Game Center is showing no respect to Spurlock....they list him on the current drive stats but as for the game stats, he's no where to be found :)

No respect, I tell ya's

[1of3]

Oath where in the world are you ?

[Egomaniac247]

Oh Lord, my game center shows 3rd down with 13 seconds and no TO's for us....

Watch Warner take a sack.

[T.J.]

Spurlock with 4 catches.....impressive...now can we get one in the endzone??

[Keenum]

LOL Game Center is showing no respect to Spurlock....they list him on the current drive stats but as for the game stats, he's no where to be found :)

No respect, I tell ya's

Yeah, I was wondering about that.

13 ticks left. I take one shot for the endzone, maybe two if enough time. Main thing is DO NOT turn the ball over. If nobody is open in the endzone, just throw it away.

[T.J.]

wow....poor clock management costs us at least 3 points

[Longcolts]

Boldin couldn't get outta bounds...that sucked!:Cards logo:

[Cardsfan2000]

wow....poor clock management costs us at least 3 points

Kurt... why????

[Egomaniac247]

*** HAPPEND?

Don't tell me what I posted came true...

[Keenum]

Oh MAN so close!

Warner has looked good. He's mainly throwing short, quick routes, which is smart because the Chargers got a good pass rush. I think the Cards will be OK IF they can stop Rivers and the passing game.

Anyway, I got to go. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the game! See ya later.

[WhyNotTheCards?]

the refs could have blown the whistle with about 10 seconds left so we could get to line and spike the ball but they let the play continue until about 4 seconds left even though Boldin was being pushed backwards the whole time. Oh well, should have taken a shot to the endzone anyway. Dumb play call.

[Egomaniac247]

Oh no, I just realized something.....we're doing a 2 minute drill with Kurt Warner lol...(remembers last year)

On the bright side, atleast I can say this again next year now (rolls eyes)

[arizona_cards_11]

HORRIBLE!!!!! DECISION........with 10 sec. left in the half, and NO TO......you throw it in the endzone, or throw it away.

Stupidity......

[RogueCardinal]

Great veteran play by Warner :Huh:

Sometimes Kurt makes it so hard for me to root for him, inexcusable decision by a player that is supposed to be a veteran. I can pretty much guarantee now that we are going to lose by 3 points or less because that is the kind of luck we have.

[Egomaniac247]

I really try not to bash Warner but honestly, with him at the helm I just get that "cursed" feeling....the rushing game last year, the flukey turnovers, time expiring, not throwing far enough for the 1st down, etc, etc, etc....

Warner is a great QB but just doesn't represent a culture change for the Cardinals the way Leinart does in my opinion.

[Boldinfan]

the refs could have blown the whistle with about 10 seconds left so we could get to line and spike the ball but they let the play continue until about 4 seconds left even though Boldin was being pushed backwards the whole time. Oh well, should have taken a shot to the endzone anyway. Dumb play call.

the refs didn't stop the play cause boldin has the ability to break away from tackles they do it to LT and a lot of players so yeah.

[TnTCardFans]

Kurt has made some absolutely HORRIBLE decisions this year! Throwing to a receiver 4 yards short of the end zone with no time outs, is the icing on the cake.

[Mibrilane #56]

I don't know if that was Kurt's decision or the play design, but it cost the Cardinals 3 points. You take a shot at the endzone - if it isn't there, you throw it away and kick a field goal.

:duh:

[WhyNotTheCards?]

I don't know if that was Kurt's decision or the play design, but it cost the Cardinals 3 points. You take a shot at the endzone - if it isn't there, you throw it away and kick a field goal.

:duh:

it's ultimately Kurts decision though. He has a brain and knows that if you run a play like that and Q doesn't either get out of bounds or into the endzone, you're pretty much screwed. He can decide to throw that ball away and take the 3 points....regardless of the play design.

[910fan]

I dont know why the :Cards logo: have such a hard time managing the clock. Throwing the ball in the middle of the field when Boldin is going to have a very tough time getting out of bounds or in the end zone just makes no sense. It is thrown in the end zone or at someone's feet we are assured of getting points.

[JonesHollywood]

Wow. Our radio color guy just said Denny should retire. Throwing short of the end zone was unforgivable. Sorry guys - you deserve better.

[RogueCardinal]

Regardless of the play call or design that play is on Warner, he is at the helm and he knows that we have no timeouts left and that the play can not end with a player even having the remote chance of being tackled in bounds.

Jon Kitna of all players made a smarter decision today, with only 8 secs left at the end of the first half versus the Cowboys he knew you throw it in the endzone or throw it away, they came away with a Roy Williams TD meanwhile we come away with nothing, these are the kind of bonehead plays that a veteran should not make.

[Westgate]

Halftime Score: Chargers -17, Cardinals :Cards logo: -7, so much for the early lead by Kurt Warner and the Cards.

[Mibrilane #56]

Wow. Our radio color guy just said Denny should retire. Throwing short of the end zone was unforgivable. Sorry guys - you deserve better.
I think I'm siding with WhyNotTheCards? and RogueCardinal on that one - it was Kurt making a bad decision, not Green calling a bad play.

[AaronIsDaBomB]

Kurt has made some absolutely HORRIBLE decisions this year! Throwing to a receiver 4 yards short of the end zone with no time outs, is the icing on the cake.


Cards would have been better off with a drop or an over throw out of bounds.:oops:

[Cardsfan2000]

I don't know if that was Kurt's decision or the play design, but it cost the Cardinals 3 points. You take a shot at the endzone - if it isn't there, you throw it away and kick a field goal.

:duh:

I mean, with a 5-10 team if I see Q open underneath (with the other receivers going end zone for a diversion) I trust him to make a play... But there were Chargers all over him.

[RogueCardinal]

Of course that play won't show up in the QB rating after the game, so all the ************ can rest assured they can still use that antiquated stat to place Kurt on his pedestal.

[Hollywood]

Wow. Our radio color guy just said Denny should retire. Throwing short of the end zone was unforgivable. Sorry guys - you deserve better.

are you listening to the game on SD radio?

[Egomaniac247]

It woulda been funny if Q just swatted the ball down and stared back at Warner all like "What the f#@ are you doing man?"

[T.J.]

see what happens when you play press coverage?? you get a pass defensed

[Darth Llama]

Bryant Johnson Sucks ***!

[T.J.]

Bryant Johnson....YOU'RE FIRED!!!!! :banghead: :banghead:

[Boldinfan]

Wow bryant johnson use your head.

[Belac44]

Hopefully that attempt at a punt catch by Johnson will stick in people's minds and I wont have to hear how amazing he is all offseason and how 2007 will be his break out year.

:oops:

[JonesHollywood]

are you listening to the game on SD radio?

Yes. In LA... oops...drop...TD SD! Have faith - the Cards will be a winner soon w/a new Boss.

[T.J.]

I didnt realize that watching the Suns game on Gamecast is more fun than watching the Cards game on TV

[Fan43]

What a pitiful bunch you are. It really doesn't matter what Kurt does, or who calls it.., you'd still find reason to complain about him. LOL And really.., what difference does it make what he does. It's the last game, you're out of the playoffs, and there's no way you're going to win this one.., regardles of what Kurt does. " Takes a whole team boys " ..., keep that in mind.

[Cardsfan2000]

This is just pathetic... The kid has some skills but he just chokes under pressure. My god.

[Belac44]

Yes. In LA... oops...drop...TD SD! Have faith - the Cards will be a winner soon w/a new Boss.

The boss didnt make Kurt throw that ball to a guy in the middle of the field to prevent points at the end of the half and he didnt drop that fair catch attempt.

The play at the end of the half was Kurts fault.........PERIOD!

[RogueCardinal]

Wow, chalk that up with all of his drops and Bryant Johnson has just passed Oliver Ross as the Arizona Cardinal that I loathe the most.

Kurts having a good game, but you have to put that last play of the half square on his shoulders. You either shoot for the endzone or throw it away

[Fan43]

Who cares???

[AaronIsDaBomB]

:oops: BJ lolo

[HAVACARDSFAN]

Who cares???

Cardinals fans do...we care.:Cards logo:

[Belac44]

Who cares???

You must since you are here posting...

[fastcashAZ]

What kind of block was that? the dive on your butt and get run over block?

Man this offensive line is weak..

[whythecardinals]

Who cares???

WE look like ******........... Good Grief!

[Mookie]

As the wheels start to fall off...

[Boldinfan]

i miss leinart already

[T.J.]

all I can think about is when is Denny Green going to be fired??

[Egomaniac247]

3rd quarter, up big....and still running LT...

Stupid.

[fastcashAZ]

Tomlinson running over the defense.

Nice sack there.

If I were SD I wouldnt pass, the run will take more time off and is much more successful

[T.J.]

this is embarrasing

[Longcolts]

The rout is on!:Cards logo:

[fastcashAZ]

That makes my point exactly.

Turner gets a huge run there..already in the redzone.

[Cardsfan2000]

As the wheels start to fall off...

This happens week after week... so how can it not be attributed to coaching?

[Darth Llama]

I wish I could say I expected different.. but after 15 games of this.. it's old hat now.

Best vs. Worst.. what did we expect?

[Boldinfan]

i see some good potential in the cardinals defense next year.

[fastcashAZ]

Rivers looks like a lame duck..that could have been grounding.

FG time..

[Darth Llama]

i see some good potential in the cardinals defense next year.

Agreed. I am starting to think that Green and Rolle could be a lot better if the defensive scheme is better. Clancy got a lot more credit then he deserved for early season success, but really, he's just as clueless as the rest of our coaches.

[Boldinfan]

should of been grounding

[Hollywood]

Yes. In LA... oops...drop...TD SD! Have faith - the Cards will be a winner soon w/a new Boss.


Can you give us the station name or web site link?

[fastcashAZ]

should of been grounding

Agree, he was within the tackles.

I have to go against the Chargers in the playoffs, even with this showing today.

Wagering against Marty has been good dough over the years.

[Egomaniac247]

LOL I just visited the Charger's forum and they're all freaking out about their starters still being on the field....I would be too. This is just stupid coaching...

Rivers we love you but GET THE HELL OFF THE FIELD!!!!!


Marty better get his head on straight and take out some of the starters

Rivers should sit the rest of the game.

Take PR out!


Heads should roll if Rivers or Tomlinson gets hurt.

[fastcashAZ]

That kind of decision will make for a short career in the NFL.

Running it out from the endzone against the Chargers is not a great idea.

[Darth Llama]

I was just wondering why all those players were still in the game myself.

They could beat us with their equipment manager and a few peanut vendors.

Thanks. For any of you that can't get the game on the radio here in Phx. you can always listen to the SD broadcast...you just have to put up with there announcers.

[T.J.]

there we go...taking chances down the field!!!!

[fastcashAZ]

First down on the 11..

This site seems VERY slow today.

James to the 8 yl

[T.J.]

now take a shot in the f**cking endzone

[AaronIsDaBomB]

I was like "who's #39?" ohh its Bronson

He just got promoted from the practice squad I believe:ok: .

[kjbad]

Gotta go back to Pope...

[arizona_cards_11]

Nice throw Warner.....

[Egomaniac247]

This just in, LT has injured the arch of his foot and River's has a hurt leg.

Way to be Marty.....smart coaching jackass.

[Darth Llama]

Well, if we can't beat em with talent.. we'll put am all in the hospital. :lollollol:

Marty is a *****.

[AaronIsDaBomB]

Gotta go back to Pope...

"":ok:

[Boldinfan]

**** and dunk what the hell? he almost threw another red zone int man get john navarre in there.

[kjbad]

Why are you kicking? This is the last game of the year and you need 3 scores...goodbye, Coach Green. :frown:

[T.J.]

This just in, LT has injured the arch of his foot and River's has a hurt leg.

Way to be Marty.....smart coaching jackass.

no offense, but we could care less

[Fan43]

Kurts having a good game, but you have to put that last play of the half square on his shoulders. You either shoot for the endzone or throw it away

That's true .., but do you know for a fact that it was his decision?? Keep in mind, him and Green went at it, over the playcalling. Could be he's chosen to do strictly what he's told to do..., rather than cause anymore problems. Had he chosen to throw it away, or go for the enzone.., and something had gone wrong..., Green and the same fans(that're complaining now), would still be all over him.

[Mookie]

KW is horrible in the Red Zone

[arizona_cards_11]

No one ever gets flagged for a pick play......

[fastcashAZ]

**** and dunk what the hell? he almost threw another red zone int man get john navarre in there.


You are more of a MATTY homer than I am of Kurt..

:poke:

[Cardiackid]

This just in, LT has injured the arch of his foot and River's has a hurt leg.

Way to be Marty.....smart coaching jackass.

Yea but they are playoff bound,While we sit here same thing year after year.Go Cards.

[Egomaniac247]

no offense, but we could care less


No offense taken, I'd have to care about your opinion ;)


Denver is about to piss away their playoffs to the 49ers and I would love to see that just to be able to rag on Mike Shanahan for benching his QB and starting a rookie when they were basically cruising toward a playoff spot earlier this year.

[T.J.]

No one ever gets flagged for a pick play......

only the Cardinals....our WR was wide open, couldnt have been legal

[Boldinfan]

You are more of a MATTY homer than I am of Kurt..

:poke:

lol i never really wanted to have warner become a cardinal.

[AaronIsDaBomB]

Special Teams and D#### needs to come up with some big play turnovers, strip fumble, pick six, punt return for td, kick off return for td, 3 and outs ect.

To have a shot coming back.:idea:

[kjbad]

Billy "White Shoes" Volek...and Burner Turner. :)

Don't look now, but SF is beating DEN. :) :)

[T.J.]

in other news

SUNS WIN SUNS WIN!!! beat the pistons 108-101 :rockon:

[fastcashAZ]

How bad is Plummer?

On the BEST OL team and he is might blow the game with two passes.

Poor guy.

[AaronIsDaBomB]

:lollollol: :jumping: :rofl: :bluelol: :iconrolf: :ok: :sign:

[fastcashAZ]

Lets see if the Cards want to take some chances and try to win this game. With the scrubs in, the Cards COULD make a run at the game.

[Darth Llama]

San Francisco won't hold on.

[Egomaniac247]

How bad is Plummer?

Did you actually SEE the interception? If you did, you'd know it wasn't his fault...

Kool-aid has run dry my friend

[Egomaniac247]

Kool-aid has run dry my friend

LOL that cracked me up....

[fastcashAZ]

Did you actually SEE the interception? If you did, you'd know it wasn't his fault...

Yep, they showed the reply, defender stepped right in and got it clean.

Handoff on first down, how predictable.

[arizona_cards_11]

How bad is Plummer?

Poor guy.

Plummer??? Cutler is losing the game for Denver......

Should have never benched him....

I hate Cutler more than I hate the 49ers.

[Darth Llama]

Did Plummer and Cutler both have int's returned for TD's?

[fastcashAZ]

There you go..

Warner with TWO great throws..


Come on Cards!

[arizona_cards_11]

Oh great.....BJ is trying to redeem himself.

[Belac44]

You are more of a MATTY homer than I am of Kurt..

:poke:

I would play Boldin at QB before I let Navarre play again...

Kurt does ok between the 20's but he has proven over and over he cant get us in the endzone when we get in the redzone. Lack of running game and TE is not an excuse this year.

[Darth Llama]

Good catch B.J.

You still suck.


That was a very nice throw.

[fastcashAZ]

Here we go with these stupid false starts..

[kjbad]

False start again...keep passing.

[Egomaniac247]

Yep, they showed the reply, defender stepped right in and got it clean.

Um, there was no "stepped in", you obviously didn't see it.

The defender and Javon Walker were running a straight deep route and he pushed Javon down hard....Walker fell 6-7 yards before the ball even came down and the defender basically turned into a WR at that point.

Refs blew that call.

[fastcashAZ]

Four down territory here..

Nice to see they TRY a run in the redzone..

[Belac44]

Throw it up to Fitz or Pope

[fastcashAZ]

Um, there was no "stepped in", you obviously didn't see it.

I have the Cards game on, so they didnt show that important part..

[Egomaniac247]

Man, every game center tracker looks the same when Warner is playing..

2 or 3 long red lines signifying a big gain, then a bunch of little ones inside the 20 yard line where we bog down, followed by "FG attempt by Neil Rackers is good"

Been seeing that same message for the past 3 years.

[Belac44]

There we go.....Kurt finally sealed the deal on a drive.

[fastcashAZ]

Quick slant right on the money.

:partytime:

[Darth Llama]

Touch Down.. they are making it respectable at least.

I can't believe they gave Fitz that much of a cushion.. that one was easy.

:football:

[Egomaniac247]

Wow this one ended differently lol

[T.J.]

fitz my boy!!

[Cardiackid]

Um, You were saying?

[Egomaniac247]

Um, You were saying?

So you're telling me that more often than not that's not the case?

The Cutler INT was the bad one.....Plummer and Walker got robbed. Horrible no call there...

[Boldinfan]

lets win for the ravens alright lol we did it once for the packers i think we should do it for the ravens.

[Cardiackid]

No I just thought it was very funny that you said that then a TD. LOL

[Egomaniac247]

The Cutler INT was the bad one.....Plummer and Walker got robbed. Horrible no call there...


Agreed. Cutler's was taken back for a TD....I'd love to see the 49er's hold out and win this one but I doubt it.

Anyways, I'd like to see Warner get up around 400 yards atleast...and this is my last chance this year to see Edge get anything over a 20 yard gain lol....I think he has one but I wanna see a lonnng one!

[fastcashAZ]

Come on defense, get a stop here..after that crappy Rackers kickoff..

[Belac44]

They didnt blow the same type of play dead when we played the Bears. Crap...

p.s. Take that stupid Denver conversation out of this thread please

[kjbad]

Edge has zero carries longer than 20 yards this season...

[Egomaniac247]

Shhh, Belac, the adults are talking here...

[Belac44]

Come on defense, get a stop here..after that crappy Rackers kickoff..

I think Rackers was on the take this year...

[Egomaniac247]

Edge has zero carries longer than 20 yards this season...

****, I coulda swore he had one around 40 but maybe I was just dreaming ;)

Man that blows....

[Boldinfan]

there already saying marty got his 200 win come on lets spoil this for him.

[Belac44]

Shhh, Belac, the adults are talking here...

We couldnt tell by reading your posts.

Sorry Gramps

[Egomaniac247]

Great googly moogly, AJ Feely just hooked up for a 89 yard TD..

Hey how come JJ Arrington isn't returning kicks?

[fastcashAZ]

Come on Cards...lets make this game interesting.

[kjbad]

Pope should not go down from that type of tackle...keep passing.

[kjbad]

JJ fall down and go boom.

[Belac44]

Pope should not go down from that type of tackle...keep passing.

I have noticed he doesnt have the greatest balance, but being 6'8 makes it tough...

[Boldinfan]

Qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

[Egomaniac247]

Denny should just be like....look...this is probably my last game here....let's go balls to the wall...

He should start doing statue of liberty plays, flea flickers, double reverses, half back passes, the old ball under the shirt routine, etc, etc..

Hell, send Warner out for a pass.

[fastcashAZ]

HOLY CRAP

Did you see that awesome throw and run???
