08 Cards = 03 Panthers

[Delhommey]

Even had the X Clown play on Fitz's TD.

Not exactly the same game plan and MO, but similar paths.

Can we please move on?

[OneBadassCat]

Yea but at least we had bojangles on the flight home.

[MurkN]

They picked a good game to not kick the ball out of bounds on the kickoff

[goodlay]

Yeah, it's exactly the same, really. No one thought they had a shot in the post-season, I even remember a good amount of analysts picking the Cowboys to come into our house and beat us in the first round. They peaked at the perfect time and got extremely hot in the post-season and defied all odds. Then they faced a heavily favored team in the SB and almost won but fell just short.

Their fan base will be talking about this game for years :banghead:

No the Cards actually had one of the best NFL QB's to play the game, no running game, and no defense. I can't even see how you can compare the two.

What pisses me off is that Al and John kept talking about what a great Superbowl this was...and it was...but I seem to remember something posted somewhere where our Superbowl was ranked one of the ten worst. Our Superbowl was just as good as this one.

Good for them.

In the regular season? Correct. However, they pulled a 06 Colts and turned on in the post-season. The running game wasn't huge tonight, but it did fairly well throughout the post-season, and as for the defense, they played lights out until that last drive.

Ten Worst? where have you seen that? I only see it in top ten lists. Al and John still said it fell short of last year's superbowl.

Anyway, I would have to agree with Delhommey on the superbowl itself. Game started slow Arizona couldn't get anything going.. they started to get some things going in the second quarter. Nothing really happened in the third quarter and EVERYTHING blew open in the fourth. They put themselves in a position to win the game but the defense let up at a bad time to a team that already won the superbowl in years earlier. Like us, they lost to a team with a young quarterback who had already been there done that before. The rhythm and fire of the game on both sides was the same as our game.

[the big joke]

its good to see them suffer

Actually, Jake played like one of the best QBs in the league in our Superbowl. Obviously, it appears he regressed in the last couple years (especially this year). This was a great Superbowl, and yes, the Cardinals did look just like the 03 Panthers. And their season ended in a similar disappointing fashion. Good Superbowl, but I don't think it matches ours.

wonder how the thought process about this goes....

"uh, let's see, underdog team, game goes down to the wire and they just lose, and...DEJA VU!!!"
