Wat Cardinal fans are saying


Cary Kollins

Recommended Posts

Like every fanbase, there seems to be a number of idiots as well some resonable folks.

 

In the playoffs it is about momentum and getting hot at the right time. Carolina (4 in a row), Seattle (6 in a row), and Dallas (4 in a row) are hot right now.

 

 

Can Newton is going to have a monster day against us. Lindley will throw about 4 picks two for tuddies.

We had a great season and I enjoyed it.

 

If your looking at this game without your Cardinal goggles Carolina is the favourite.

Cam is a nightmare much like Wilson and Kaep in terms of keeping the play going. They have a good running game so it's going to be tough.

Carolina's corners are better then the scrubs the Whiners had in there. Lindley was decent at times against the Niners, he had GREAT protection (probably the best this year) AND we had a running game. All the ingredients were there for a QB to thrive. He threw a few good passes and some very terrible ones and that is what will kill the CArds saturday. Fans say "he shouldnt stare down his WR". Well that's what bad QB's do. And Ryan is a bad QB.

 

 

 

this guy lol

 

If we tighten down the D and it plays like it did before that side should be ok. If the O plays like it did against the Niners, that side of the ball should be ok also. The Panthrs D is no where near as good as the Niners. There Qb isn't near as fast and elusive as both Wilson and Kap.

I can actually see this as being an easy game if Lindley produces like he did yesterday. Minus the picks of course. We need to pound the ball more and cut back on all the passing attempts. Cut him back to at the most 30 passing attempts, and about 35 rushing attempts.

 

Any given sunday, and with each consecutive win or loss it becomes more likely that one of them is to give. All streaks come to an end at some point.

Carolina has won 4 in a row against some pretty bad teams, and all of them under .500

All season I expected us to lose just about every game. What I am saying is our team is a team that can really bring it, and they just might. I'm no longer going to find reasons why we should lose and just enjoy the week, stay positive and hope we get a shot at playing Seattle

This sounds like us last year

Of all the matchups we could have gotten, I think this is the most favorable... however, anything can happen.

 

The last time we got a home playoff game vs AZ it caused me to be depressed for 3 years afterward and it caused Jake Delhomme to lose his mind... so...

 

If, IF, we can play again like we did against NO and ATL, we can definitely win.

 

 

I have to be honest tho, Special Teams scare the crap out of me.

We're 7-8-1, I can't get mad at fans of an 11 win team thinking they've got a shot.  That said, I feel we are the better team right now, plus it's a home game.

 

The key will be getting an early lead.  Carolina is a team built to play with a lead, even a small one.  That way they focus on what the Panthers do best - running the football and rushing the QB to get sacks/turnovers.  I don't see this happening with Lindley as their starting QB but they HAVE to get the lead early.

I think their D could pose a challenge. Having a so-so QB really hinders them because I'm not so sure that "pounding the ball more" is going to be the ticket. Star Davis and Kuech really seem to be clicking right now in shutting down the run.

If only he was actually so-so. Lindley is downright fuging awful

I have nothing against Cardinals fans. There doesn't seem to be many of them and I haven't come across many that are annoying. Plus they have Buck who I'm still friends with on Facebook somehow.

 

All that said, I hope we beat them by a lot. I can't even begin to describe what that Jake Delhomme pickfest playoff game did to this organization and us fans. Gotta wash that stink off.

I said in the other thread.

The biggest key to winning this game is not allowing that defense to put up points on us.

If our defense and specifically that front 4 show up mean. Their qbs, whoever start, are going to fold and fast.

 

 

 

Yeah that worries me as well.

 

 

Their defense scoring, be it by returning a fumble for a TD or setting up their offense in Panther territory, is my biggest concern.  That and of course special teams. I still have nightmares from Cam's first game where Peterson returned the punt for a TD.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
