Depending on what I eat at the tailgate, a crop dusting from me could be a legit excuse used by the Cards if they lose.

As a cardinals fan I love this matchup. i think it will be huge for us. for the panthers they must and have to get pressure with there Front 4.

With Fitz, JJ, and Smokey y'alls Wrs are probably the best/most overlooked corps in the league.

We play a lot of zone guys, it's a two edge sword, before we had very good CB's now...eh..besides norman, the other guys are probably around average. Which isn't bad and yet isn't good. The key will be pressure. Don't give Palmer enough time in the pocket. He is notorious for finding the soft spot in the zones. I've been watching him all year since my bro is a Cards fan and we live right next to AZ. Pressure up the middle is the best bet, collapse the pocket after. Rattle him enough and he will begin to hesitate. 

 

I think we should jam the receivers a little to throw the timing off just enough to get to him. Fitz and brown are their best route runners to be quite honest. Depending on the package, either the one of the D lines or a safety will have to keep an eye on Johnson. He's got a quick burst of speed and can get chunks of yardage if left open for the dump off pass from Palmer. That's how they've converted a lot of their 3rd downs. Simple check downs and good route running by Brown and Fitz.

We won't win the game by changing how our defense plays.

We also won't win the game if we don't get any pressure from our front four. Considering how well Green Bay did, we might have a pretty good shot at doing just that. It's about time we really had a break out game from our DEs.

Only person should be on Fitz is Norman

At this point in his career I don't think so.  Rather have Norman locking down one of there burners.

Our best defense might have to be a good offense.  Might get into a shootout, but force a couple TOs along the way and let's go to the SB.

Just be ready for the excuses when we beat them. 

It was cold. It was too dark. Palmers finger. The field was real grass. Arians lost his lucky Kangol. SCP crop dusted us. 

Who knows what they'll blame it on. 

We play on real grass too. palmers finger will be fine. Arians is not allowed to wear his Lucky Kangol on game day. but pfft that damn SCP will probably crop dust us.

Haha.  He crop dusts everyone.  I doubt you guys would actually make excuses though.  You're not pretentious like the Seattle fans

I agree with this. you will probably want to have Norman on floyd... or possibly even J. Brown

People are way to worried about Fitzgerald.  Not saying he isn't good and a threat..

but people are aware basically the entire 2nd half of the season it been the two other WRs killin folks, right? 

More worried about Brown or Floyd vs McClain deep.  

Should be able to contain Larry IMO in his role.  I mean if you don't cover him in OT and give him 30 yard head full of steam....he will hurt you bad.

since im a cardinals fan and have watched everyone of there games at least twice this season I can say you are correct. only thing is there is something about Fitz and the playoffs.

[cgarsmoker]

After watching the replay of GB vs AZ, I noticed Palmer with no RB standing back in shotgun and AZ sending 4 WRs and the TE out in passing routes.....if they leave Palmer unprotected like that, we have to make him pay.  Pressure, pressure,and more pressure......our Super Bowl depends on it.

We're so boned if our pass rush flops.

Cam is gonna have to throw for 2 TDs and rush for 2 TDs.

I expect that in the first half alone!

[Ornias]

We have to get pressure, and hopefully the refs will actually call holding this game.
