I didn't want to jinx them before the game with Philly, but I've been a huge Warner fan since '99.

CARDS GOING TO THE 'BOWL

WOOT!  Great game!  Was rooting phor the Cards all the way! 

Time to be an Arizona fan.

That was pass interference and you know it! Not that I'm a Philly fan because the Steelers are gonna stomp Arizona.

Oh I know, I'm really surprised that he got away with that. I saw that and did a facepalm, but they didn't call it.

Poor officiating can ruin games.

But as much as I like to think otherwise, I'm pretty sure Pittsburgh will end up running away with it. But, I'm not a Pittsburgh fan, ergo, not really an Arizona fan either, but they are the lesser of the two evils.

The analysts had said that Atlanta, Carolina, and Philadelphia would run away with it, too. We'll see how it plays out, but it looks like Arizona has been thriving on being counted out in the post-season. My personal favorite was that bonehead Gene Wojciechowski's article "Let's Book Eagles for Tampa" on espn.com. If nothing else, it was satisfying just to see him fail.

This is true, isn't he supposed to be an expert analyst? hehe.

But it's like you stated, anything can happen. To make it to the Super Bowl takes more than just luck, and I read another article on ESPN.com here, that was talking about the match up and what to expect. He makes a good point that the blitz that did well in the playoffs for Pittsburgh may not work as well against an experienced QB like Warner. He's a calm individual, even the face of a blitz and is not afraid to stay in the pocket until a receiver is open.

I guess we'll have two weeks to wait and see. I'd imagine it'll be a good game, if only for a bit.

Yea man absolutely, it's anyone's game. That's a good article you referred to, it'll be interesting to see who wins out between the Cards' Pro Bowl receivers and the Steelers secondary. Also, Roethlisberger may put up mediocre numbers during the regular season, but he's a proven big-game QB. I'm obviously biased towards Warner and Arizona, but it should be a solid game any way you slice it.

so um, who's gonna go to the superbowl?  I'll be there...

We can hang.  Or something.  Anyways, they have the field set up and stuffs ready, bring it on. 

I'm goin for the cards on this one. 

It's all irrelevant. The Raiders will dominate the NFL soon and establish a streak that will last hundreds of years.

It would be nice to see some of the forgotten teams of the 70s, 80s and even 90s, make a good comeback to their yesteryear days. Raiders, Lions, Bengals etc. All teams that, in the past, were forces to reckon with, yet in recent years, not so much.

I wish I could go to the Super Bowl, it's definitely on my to do list one of these years.

So after a 100 yard fumble rumble by the defensive player of the year, disrupting what would have been a 14-10 Cardinal lead going into the locker room, the Steelers currently lead 17-7. Funny how quick a football game can be turned around.

Oh well, keep hope Arizona fans, permanant and temporary! Still a half to go, lol

The end of the first half was the craziest I've ever seen. So many fluke things are turning the game around completely.

WOOO GO CARDS!!! *does a little dance* WOOO!!!!!!!!!

They always say a good defense is the catalyst to a winning team, and the Cardinals' D certainly let them down on that final Steelers drive. It's a shame to see such an awesome drive by Warner and Co. that gives you the lead by wasted by lousy defense.

At any rate, a very good game tonight.
