We will see about that. Arizona has given up less than 4.0 YPC at home this year.

Smooth Criminal · 01-02-2009, 12:00 AM

Won't see it in Arizona. I can't imagine not selling out a playoff game.

Sniper · 01-02-2009, 12:01 AM

And people say Philly has bad fans. The game in Philly would have been sold out 10 minutes after it would have gone on sale. Minnesota and Arizona should be ******* embarrassed.

Smooth Criminal · 01-02-2009, 12:04 AM

Ticket prices are getting crazy, but to not sell out a playoff game is ridiculous.

RedAttack · 01-02-2009, 12:50 AM

You won't hear me disagree. Some of our 'fans' suck major ass.

I don't believe it will blackout though. A sponsor will pick up any left over tickets.

I don't think people ever doubted Philly fans loyalty. That's not why Philly fans are bad. They're bad because they're assholes.

wtf, the last time the Cardinals hosted a Playoff game at home?

1947, Chicago Cardinals :O

also the Cardinals only won 1 game against a Playoff contender, the Miami Dolphins

Yah it's no good, I tell you. No good.

Thought this was pretty funny:

How much does Darren Sproles continue to surprise you?

Norv: I haven't been surprised since the Detroit game a year ago. He's playing with such great confidence, and we have found ways to get him the ball. It's hard. I asked him about the touchdown (against Denver), 'Were they yelling screen?' He said, 'They yell screen every time I go in.'

Well just think 6 of their 9 wins came against the 49ers, Rams, and Seahawks.

Sure they'd go. But by the second quarter they would be booing McNabb and calling for Reid to be fired. All while throwing women down stairs and throwing batteries at opposing fans.

I'd rather our fans be a bunch of assholes than "fans" who can't even sell out a playoff game.

You're saying that as if Andy Reid doesn't deserve to be fired.

Cards got their game soldout. Viking got another extension to sell their seats.

see this shouldn't even be in discussion, it should be a given.

I know for a fact the Jets playoffs tix were sold out MONTHS ago, and they're not even in it! pretty damn sad...

Mr. Stiller · 01-02-2009, 06:19 PM

I've got money on USC over Cleveland.

CC.SD · 01-03-2009, 01:36 PM

Bout to go tailgate my head off, but just read about the full extent of LT's injury; torn groin tendon. Sigh. After looking so slick against Denver, it's sad for LT that he could possibly be kept out altogether. Here's to Rivers' arm and Sproles' legs and Vincent Jackson's ridiculousness. Drunk time.

Geo · 01-03-2009, 01:39 PM

Unless I've missed it, LDT hasn't been ruled out yet. He's still being termed a gametime decision, so we'll see. Just from hearing that injury, for a RB, I would think he would not play. But maybe it's such that he can.

My guess entering today was that LDT would be much closer to 100 percent than Antonio Gates would be, it could very well be the other way around.

bantx · 01-03-2009, 01:56 PM

Thats horrible news =\

This is all anyone needs to see.

Don Vito · 01-03-2009, 02:02 PM

That news about LT is not good for the Chargers. I still can't wait for the game though, Indy-SD is always a good one. I am really worried about San Diego next year when Merriman is back and the young guys have another year under their belts.

ATLDirtyBirds · 01-03-2009, 02:20 PM

John Abraham needs to play for us to have any chance at all. And yeah, Jamaal Anderson is hurting. Personally, I'm concerned from his safety. I'd be cool if he decided he wanted to rest up and just retire from professional football.

giantsfan · 01-03-2009, 02:20 PM

Cards over Falcons
The cards are a tough team at home and that D is a lot more resilient than people give them credit for. They're going to be psyched for this game and I expect a great showing. The falcons will move the ball and keep it close, but I like the cards to pull it out and develop momentum that'll make them dangerous next week as well.

Eagles over Vikings
I'd love to see Minny win and I do like their chances, I just have to stick with the Eagles and that D slowing AD enough for to pull of the win. Reid has his problems but his former OC Brad Childres is just a terrible in game coach when it comes to adjustments, which is why I think the Eagles pull it out in the second half, although i expect the vikings D to give McNabb and co problems.

Colts over Chargers
I like the colts d more than the chargers D and while Rivers is coming into his own as a top QB I still trust Peyton a lot more.

Miami over Baltimore
The Ravens D is nasty and they can run the ball well, but I think Harbaugh will struggle as a first time playoff coach, same for Flacco as a rookie QB. I know Sparano's a first time playoff HC also, but I think the Tuna will help Sparano out a lot and Chad will do enough for that O to move the ball. Defensively they'll giveflacco fits.

Sweet. Anderson is the only one of importance, and judging by his on-field performance, that's a stretch.
