Worst Superbowl Team Ever

All the other teams lost. They should at least wait to see what happens in the game.

Hell, if the Cards pull it off they will have to name the Steelers “Worse than the worst superbowl team ever.” Just like the Falcons, Panthers and Eagles are now worse than the “worst playoff team ever.”

Yeah its funny how every analyst doubts us..

You think they would stop comparing this team to what they did in the regular season. They are obviously different.

Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.

Cards had the division locked up about 3 months ago..

There isn’t much incentive to put life and limb on the line every down if you’re just marking time to the playoffs. I don’t think the coaching staff pushed them very hard to do so either. Now the team is relatively fresh, and relatively healthy, and most importantly perhaps, VERY UNDERRATED.
