Peter King's NFC Forecast

[hdevonxz]

Cardinals at Panthers

Last time: the Cards blew a 17-3 third-quarter lead in Charlotte, and a 65-yard Jake Delhomme strike to Steve Smith clinched the Panthers' 27-23 win.

This time Arizona lost all five of its East Coast games, and only the defeat at Carolina was close. Waht the Cards bring now is "a chip on our shoulder," says defensive tackle Darnell Dockett. "We're supposed to be the worst playoff team, we shouldn't even show up." Can hard feelings soften the one-two rushing punch of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart? Maybe for a series or two, but not for four quarters; the Panthers had an NFL-best 30 TDs on the ground. And if Arizona's D pays too much attention to the run, Delhome will send Smith deep, with little or no safety help.

Panthers 26, Cardinals 17

2 more days.

dumbass doesn't even know how to spell Delhomme.

Haha I was just going to say that. I bet he sure knows how to spell BRADY, MANNING, and FAVRE though...

Did he misspell it?

Well, he did spell it right on the first try. Funny how he fail on the second try after getting the first one right. :rofl:

But I agree if the Cards defense focus too much on trying to stop the run, our WRs are going to kill them. That what make our offense great: the WRs & RBs. We haven't got a good offense like that in a long, long time.

[megadeth078]

It's a typo.

[Jangler]

It's better than somebody saying Del-Homme.

F*** Peter "coffee bean" King. If were playing anyone from the NFC east he would have us losing by 25.

They have to talk to fill space but none of that sh*t matters one bit, the Cards' record on the East coast, the fact the Cats won the last game, nothing, none of it. All that matters is how they play on Saturday. Look at all the people who thought that the Fla-OK game would be some shootout because they both have potent offenses. I would hardly call that game a shootout. A lot of times it is the belittled/ignored aspects of a team that end up being the difference in a positive way. Look at the Cards' win over the Falcons. People denigrated their D and run game and those phases stepped up big.

Sportcenter is also picking us, and the Eagles as well... didn't give predicted scores that I saw...

I think it was Merrill Hoge that was talking...

I am with Fireball, the past doesn't mean squat. If we don't play our best we will be finishing our season this Saturday. I just hope that Trgo has dialed up a good gameplan after having 2 weeks to do so. I don't want to hear anymore of this "they came out and surprised us" crap like we heard the first time. Every other team they have played on the east coast have buried them including Philly and the Giants who will be our opponent if we win. We need to come out fast and hungry and play aggressive from the beginning rather than wait to get behind and then try and turn it on.

Peter King is an asshat. That is all.
