You're joking right?

The Cards have a good offense and good defense. The worst team to advance in recent years was the Seahawks a few years ago. Then both teams in the Raiders vs Bucs SB were terrible. Rich Gannon vs Brad Johnson....how compelling. Even that Bears team a couple years back was bad except for their defense.

Now they get to play the cardinals??

An 8-8 team, a Wild Card team, and a 9-7 team. Yikes.

Honestly, both teams rank very low out of the 86 teams that have ever made it to a SB. It was a very weak year in the NFL this year.

I don't care, I just want a good game.

More times than not, when there is a great team in the SB, it's a boring one. When the teams are evenly matched, like I believe these two will be, it's a really exciting game.

Hopefully it can come close to the last one.

You claim I'm joking, then say that 13-3 Seattle, who had the league's highest scoring offense and 7th ranked defense is the worst SB team of all time? LOL.

Arizona is only the second 9-7 team to ever make it to the SB...and they lost by margins of 40, 28, and 21, two of which to teams that didn't even make the playoffs. I read somewhere that they're the only team in NFL history to fall behind 28-0 in consecutive games. They're on a nice run right now, but it doesn't really erase any of their ugly marks in the regular season.

EDIT: Arizona also gave up the 4th most points this year and was burned repeatedly in the second half by the Eagles. They've been decent this postseason, not good. Stop the silliness.

They only allowed to get their *** kicked becuase the Cards wrapped up the division so early. They just turned it off hoping to get it back. And they did just in time.

I think the Crads will win, bottom line I really do think there the better team.

Hoping the Cardinals win. Mr. Warner for MVP.

Nah, you're not missing anything......

Just saying that I trust Kurt Warner over most quarterbacks in these conditions, especially given that he has two elite receivers to throw to just like he did when he won his last chip.

I guess he wouldn't have any advantage comparable to the rest of the QBs in the AFL......... yet somehow, someway, he managed to stand out a little more than the other AFL QBs at the time. I guess the part where I mentioned that was worded a tad bit clumsy at first...........
