NFL Wild Card Weekend Game Discussion
 

Hey, Matt Millen's on NBC to discuss the games.

Will he say something like "I don't know how they made it here, I wouldn't have done anything they would have!"

Ladanian Tomlinson: Questionable, with a detatched tendon to his groin? Yeowww!

from what McGinest said there is like no way Tomlinson will play. He said earlier on NFL Network that he had the same injury one time and managed to make it ONE PLAY before having to take himself out for the day

Did Millen say "I really like the wide receivers on both teams." ??

There's a joke in there about Millen's preference for WR, but I won't even go NEAR there.

So wait, that really is MATT FRIGGIN MILLEN being asked to commentate on FOOTBALL?

Did I turn on bizarro TV this afternoon?

I'm rooting on Matty Ice today, since the local team are out of it :)

GOOOOO MATTY!!!!

Millen was always a pretty good announcer.

What we know now is that he is a horrible terrible evaluator.

Go Cards! Nice to get that INT after that run back

Amazing catch by Fitz

Holy shit! What a catch!

WOW! What a catch!!

OMG! fleaflicker for the TD! what a catch by Fitzgerald

Glad to see the Cards come out and score early and not have to come from behind

*Giggles like a 13 year old*

*giggles with you* :)

I'm rooting for the Cards just for Thomkal (and other long suffering Cards fans).

Geez, did some one feed the Falcons OL laxatives or something?

aw shucks :D

Actually, as a long suffering Browns fan, I should be rooting for the Cards for the same logic. Also, I like that they're not wearing dumb uniforms. Go Cards!

Doesn't seem like there are many commercials and I like it.

Going to be a long day for the Falcons if they can't get Turner going.

nice 1st quarter for the Cards, couple sacks, actual signs of life in the running game, stopping Turner and a great TD

It is not like they are playing a team that has had large amounts of success over their history. I've been a long suffering Falcons fan and need alot of help with the way this game has started! :)

Falcons look like they are getting into a rythm

How do you not have anyone covering Boldin

Edit: Nevermind, I see Milloy was playing like a 45 year old.

woohoo Boldin!

They did have someone covering him, Lawyer Malloy, and that was their problem.

Roddy White! Argh.

and that sadly has been the typical lack of defense from the Cards of late

*sigh*

Falcons looking good now after the INT. They just need to bench Lawyer Malloy. And the refs need to start calling offsides on Arizona's D.

Now things are looking up

Yeah, I don't usually like to get all over the refs for missing calls against my team as I figure calls go both ways at some point, but it is getting a bit rediculous. The last guy was across the line and had almost knocked over the blocking back before a whistle even blew.

well that was a waste of a good start

Alan! ridiculous! This is not an infraction I would expect from you!

But, your team is winning, so you get a little slack ;)

halftime. finaly i dont have to hear collinsworth yap his hole

I have a decent excuse for why that was spelled wrongly :) I usually am a lousy speller, and depend heavily on firefox's spell corrector to make sure that I don't look too much like an idiot in my posts. Tonight I have toddler duty, and she wants to watch Lazytown on the tv, so I am watching the falcons game through my slingbox on my laptop and not really looking at what I am typing :)

.

Nice to see the same old Cardinals returned in the 2nd quarter. Arizona has 5 straight carries for 32 years (6.4 ypc). After that, Arizona throws 7 straight incomplete passes. I just can't understand why they don't even try a run after that early success. But there's a lot about the Cardinals I don't understand.

blah - well that was a freaky play

woot! of course I walked in just after the TD and missed it. :(

Good lord, Turner had all day to run if not for that timeout

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that. Dungy also says "young men" too often in general.

As I watch Tiki Barber perform his sideline reporter duties, I think back to all the BS he was spewing during his self-publicized retirement tour, about how he was going to move on to bigger and better things. He really thought he was going to be on 60 minutes interviewing presidential candidates and other world leaders.

Instead he's getting injury updates from waterboys.

Now the refs are screwing the Cardinals. That was a pretty obvious hold there on Fitz.

Looks like the no-penalty calls are coming back to favor the Falcons in the second half to make up for the ones in the first half. Falcons really need a good drive here, they have looked rattled most of the second half

thanks ref for the two blown calls on what would have been the safety and then the hold or pass interference there

great drive there Cards
