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:

:eek:

The NFL and FOX tv had no idea who we would be playing when they gave us the Saturday night game.

In truth, they probably were hoping it would be Atlanta.

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 Bank is one of the best stadiums in the NFL.

or they just randomized them

I think the schedule is just the opposite from the first week. This past Saturday was Indy/SD.

Maybe it's that the viewers really want to find out for themselves how to get those magical VIC Cards???? Hmmmm!!!
