Arians is a fugging bitch.

Anyone else catch what he said right after halftime?

Apparently he told Erin Andrews that the Panthers were the worst 2nd half team in all of football and if the Cardinals get off to a fast 3rd quarter start, they'll win for sure.

This coming from a team that got fugging owned in the first half.

I had heard about this, but has anyone confirmed that he said that?

Arians is a good coach, his record speaks for itself, but his consistent public arrogance makes me appreciate a guy like Rivera. Confidence is a good thing, but when you're constantly giving teams bulletin board material, it's time to evaluate the approach a bit.

I believe it was "the Panther's are the worst second half team in the league, if they can do anything in the first five and a half minutes they'll win this game."

Then they went on to basically do nothing for thirty minutes, and now we are going to the big show lol.

Arians is an unrepentant bullsh--ter and self-promoter. He rarely accepts full responsibility for much of anything. Even when it seems like he is, he really doesn't.

I'm starting to understand why Roethlisberger couldn't stand him (not that he's much better).

Personality-wise, he's basically Gregg Williams without the bounty scandal.

Yeah, they had to wait 5 minutes. So did our guys. What's his point? His guys that mentally fragile that a 5 minutes wait destroys the 6 inches between their ears? 

They lost because they were demoralized and outplayed for 4 quarters.

the floundering aftermath of failed hubris is always good for some laffs

Flounder?  I love flounder with tarter sauce....bring on the hush puppies and slaw.  

[Mr. Scot]

Basic rule that anybody who's ever been in leadership either understands going in or comes to understand from experience: If you're full of bulls--t, the people under you will eventually figure that out.

That's probably why Arians has a history of bouncing around every few years rather than sticking in one place.

[SmokinwithWilly]

They lost because they doubled Olsen and contained Cam.....

Oh wait.

[mesolith]

See, I'm confused as hell about the whole deal. Az was supposed to be armed with a KILLER secondary, and the sharpest receivers we have seen yet. And their coach was this super-cool gunslinger play caller that could outwit Einstein AND Solomon with his eyes closed. And all of this HAD to be true, 'cuz every "anal-list" in 'murica said so. That ain't what I saw. I smell a rat. Did we really play Az. ?

[Raskle]

I'm still just chuckling over Jimmy in the pregame, "HAH! I Got you Howie! I set you up all week long and now I'll get the chance to win the pick'em contest. I pick the Panthers!!"

 

I think the Panthers did that too.... set up the media, and watched em fall over after the game.

[blackcat]

They lost cause their coach dresses like LL Cool J.

Cards are the real champs,

[w280sax]

Just think how bad we would have beat them if the afcc went to ot and the cards had to wait even longer...

They got off lucky, i think.

All these teams. All these analysts. All these fans. If after a year of asskicking, and one bloody nose. If you still can't see us, Round 2 starts in September.
