First I just wanted to say I had a good time on this board earlier in the season and had my account not been deleted for some unknown reason I would have posted more prior to this. You guys did a great job this year whoever wins this game will be who I root for to win it all.

Here are some keys to the game IMO and things to look for Saturday:

* Dont be fooled by us stonewalling the Falcon's run game, you will still succeed in that department. Were this game in Arizona we would do better, but it isn't and doubt we do.

* I also doubt we are able to run as well this week as we did last week even though we really didn't run much then. You guys have a good run D and I know Kurt wants to throw on you again.

* The weather is the real variable. Warner sucks in precipitation, plain and simple. If there is anything falling from the sky Saturday evening I am gonna be heartbroken.

* Trick Plays--This is the big thing to expect and success/failure in this area will be the deciding factor in the game IMO. The cards have probably attempted the least of them in the league over the past two years, but last week we opened with a flea-flicker in the second series. Go back to the year Whisenhunt won the SB with the Steelers and you will see they used tons of trickery throughest the playoffs. I expend that trend to continue. Dont be shocked in the least when you see Boldin or Rolle throw a 60yd bomb, as both are former QB and have cannons.

Anyway, I hope to see a hard fought, injury free game on both sides of the ball and may the best (or the reddest :D ) team win.

Your account did not get deleted. The servers were hacked after the Atlanta game and they had to rebuild them. Everyone was wiped out. We all had to re-create our accounts...notice how all say "Member Since Nov 2008".

as far as trick plays go....I wonder if the botched fake fg from the first matchup will keep the Cards from gambling the 2nd time around.

Nope, that just inspired them to fire the sissy armed punter and bring in a new one (who punted 5X's inside the 20 last week).

Good to see some of Card fans that came here eariler back again. This is going to be more fun than the first time, since this will be a Playoffs game & you never know what the result will be. Here to a great game & no injuries on both teams. :cheers2:

Yeah, I had a blast here earlier in the year. This is BY FAR my favorite non-Card board.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
