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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
