    also quick question do they have the half time show on the field? like it appears? surely they cant just let the crowd onto the field can they?or is it held in a different venue and then out on the big screens in the stadium? i presume the second but just wondered

    Cast your mind back to last year. I seem to remember me, you and fitz being involved in an emotional thread. We had something! What happened??

    On the very field the players tread. Americans have no such qualms about the logistics.

    I'm talking short term. No banter while the game is crap, but the Cards get in it, and suddenly everyone's here.

    I don't remember what happened on last year's thread though. I'll have to dig it up.

    i was particularly funny.

    Quality of the pitch matters an awful lot when the ball rolls along it, but not as much when you are just running and pounding on it. After all, artificial turf is not uncommon in the NFL. It's unpopular, but not uncommon.

    and the people on the pitch are all ticketed. and its not full up.

    in an effort to get this going: that was a pass. come on kurtoid!

    It'll pick up once the game kicks into the latter stages, hopefully we'll get a bit of tension, maybe a few bad decisions.

    Right now i'm just trying to get over the feeling that it could have been me out there if things had worked out as they were supposed to. Cruel fate.

    Oh, hi there Mr Steelers, yeah it's me Mr Cardinals. Hey, would you like me to hand you the most important thing that I will ever be involved in by being a brain-dead cockend and breaking elementary rules? Sure, I can do that.

    Unquote.

    So, the Cardinals ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE.

    Aha, at least I'm bringing my a-game to this thread.

    Cards are just not poised for this level of play. Cinderella covered in dust...

    It's quite a comedown after last year.

    Still, a chance for Kurt to earn his Hall of Fame place, pull out a miracle.

    Or maybe they'll just throw down another penalty.

    The old addage. Prevent defense only prevents you from winning.

    Apart from this case, of course, where it makes the game slightly more interesting by providing slight hope for football fans.

    Perhaps a glimmer of hope for those like me who want a grandstand finish.

    Hints of Tyree last year in that catch.

    COME ON THE RED MEN

    Holy guacamole...this is a game now...

    And it is set up for Warner to make his way into the Hall of Fame...

    BIG SET for the Cards.

    Props to AZ for making a great run at it in the 4th Q, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

    Pittsburgh Steelers win.

    Steelers 27 - 23 Cardinals

    But they showed us, taking them a lot closer than we thought.

    MVP?

    I was going for Fitzgerald, fighting for the first down before the first TD and two for himself.

    But that was a hell of a catch from Holmes.

    And Harrison changed the momentum completely, but then got that stupid penalty for being a thug.

    Holmes.
     
  32. Fitz

    Fitz Squad Player

    I would want to say Harrison, but that penalty pissed me off.

    Larry FitzGerald if the Cards won.

    Tough not to give it to Holmes though.

    Namath looked like a business who'd found his way in Brixton there.

    Wow. He's humble.

    Last year I stayed up for the superbowl but fell asleep in the second quarter. This year I was captivated from the very first play!

    Great stuff. Just a shame they only play for what, 5 months a year...
