Wat Cardinal fans are saying

[Cary Kollins]

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

[Darth Biscuit]

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.

[Chaos]

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.

[Snake]

I think it comes down to momentum. Both the Panthers and Cards have there weaknesses. Ball control and turnovers will win the game.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Yeah as a whole the Arizona fans are just a harmless, pleasant flock of sheep. Really nothing like the animals from Atlanta and New Orleans or the idiots in Dallas or Cleveland

[imminent rogaine]

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.

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 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.

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

[KillaCamNewton]

Wish i could give some insight, but everyone here in AZ roots for the cowboys, chargers or broncos

[Sam Mills Fan]

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.

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.

[ed bell]

If we give up big special teams plays it will seriously tighten things up. I've regained my confidence in our D... Its like they had to come to grips with Hardy not returning and the youthful secondary has executed...
