They play football in Arizona?

My second favorite team in the NFL. I was amazed at what they did to Carolina in the playoffs last year. Amazed what they are doing right now. They laid out against Green Bay last week and GB has been so strong in the last few weeks. Aaron Rodgers has been burnin up the field. Kurt Warner is one old smart and cool cookie. Got good coaches and a team around him. It's still early but Arizona is runnin away with it. Wanted to see GB match up with Minn again but that would require the Cowboys to lose (uh, no, don't want that) and GB to win today. They got their hands full right now. I love Arizona- think they are a class act- so I'z happy. Rodgers just completed a beauty! It IS early.

Sorry Green Bay fans but this looks just like the playoffs last year. The Cardinals are going to be a tough out!

Un-friggin-believeable!!!!!!!! All the games have been blow outs.
I've been waiting all week for this game and I can't count all the words I've held back. I hope I don't break something tonight.

just kidding.

I felt the Cards held something back last week. Looks like the Packers bit and are taking it hard today.

You now have your ball game Rich,, enjoy it!

38-31 Arizona with most of the 4th quarter left.

Hold your horses, Max, Arizona's defense is porous as all get out and they can't rush the passer.

I thought football was a religion down there in Texas, how dare you compare it to basketball.

I'm in West Texas, kinda like West Virginia. We're a bit different out here.

Wow Wow Wow!!!!! What a great game!

I thought it was going to be another snooze-fest like all of the other games this weekend but, wow!

Let's Go Saints!

Have fun,
Jerry

Warner had a QB rating on the moon but it was Rodgers that impressed me more. Tough break, Max, I thought the Pack had it in the sack in the end. Arizona hadn't rushed the passer all day and on the final play sent a fifth guy.

Football IS a religion in Texas, Robin. Clark, didn't Abilene win state this year? Anybody ever hear of Odessa Permian? West Texas teams, both. I dunno what the professor is talkin about.

The only thing I could think of when Rodgers turned that damn ball over was "I bet Favre wouldn't have chocked!". Then I got to thinking about him playing Dallas next weekend and I suddenly said "Favre never would have even got that game to a tie!!!"

Congrates Arizona fans. (we got any here?) Definitely 1 of the best playoff games I've ever watched. New Orleans will have all they can handle next weekend.

Cheers,
Robin

Can't slip anything past you, Jim. Yep, the soaring Abilene High Eagles are the State Champs (and being touted as the best high school team in the nation). It's just that we actually have Football and Basketball out here as our two sports, whereas most of Texas just has Football and Spring Training as the only offerings. However, there is really never any doubt which is numero uno. I actually worked in pretty large school outside of Austin years ago where the voters got in a tif because the budget for athletic tape exceeded that for all academics excluding science (sad, but true store). Most of the voters wondered why we were wasting money on academic books that the students would only lose anyway.

C'mon now; players can't kick for points in the NBA.

It was Football in all its grandeur. The highest scoring playoff game ever; with 13 touchdowns, 62 first downs, and 1,024 yards of offense. All are NFL records.

Offense wasn't everything, though. The winning play alone was a 16 yard defensive touchdown.

I doubt either coach is very happy, but it sure was fun to watch.

Have fun,
Jerry

All I can think of is, no matter how the Vikes do, no 3rd meeting between them & GB in the playoffs. That's a shame. To all you Fudgies, your boys played a damned good game and finished the season strong. They definitely have a lot to build on next year. Aaron Rogers is the real deal!

satfrat · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 Jan 2010, 03:54 am »

,,,, he said Fudgies.

Sorry Rich but that terminology simply kills me. aa
