Worst divisional matchup in primetime?

Of the four divisional playoff games this weekend, the Arizona Cardinals-Carolina Panthers match-up is easily the least enticing. The Cardinals stumbled to the title in the NFL's weakest division, while Carolina is a talented team without a lot of national hype. With three other games that pit fierce division rivals (Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants), two stout defenses (Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans) and teams playing a rematch of the game with the most thrilling ending of the year (San Diego Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers), why is the NFL subjecting us to the Cards-Panthers in Saturday primetime?

What a complete jerk this guy is. BB material for both teams. :nono:

screw you dude....Cards are a top 2 offense in nfl....we're #2 seed...why would it be true?

Because no one outside of Arizona and the Carolinas cares about our game. I didn't say I liked it, but it's the truth.

If I were a fan with no horse in the race I'd be much more interested in the other games.

If this was from AOLsports, I would have swore it was Jay Mariotti.

I really don't understand this thinking. This game out of the 4 has the potential to be the highest scoring, and isn't that what most of the casual NFL fans want?

In a word no... like it or not the Cards have been in a word boring for the last month. The Panthers are a huge favorite, the casual fan is expecting a yawner, not that I think it will be.

We got the primetime game because everyone wants to see the Panthers whoop the Cards up and down the field of Bank of America Stadium under the lights! Honestly I think we got it because the Titans stadium "LP Field" is a complete dump and the Vault is one of the best stadiums in the NFL.

fixed :cool:

    • thats fair.   I was beginning to think rookie punter was in the plans 
    • Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.
    • Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
