Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals, Jan 3, 2009 2:30 PM MST
Ahhh....I love the smell of playoff football. At least I think that's what I smell (I'm not exactly an expert on the subject. There is one thing I know though, this game is huge (classic understatement). The Arizona Cardinals are very capable of winning this game but they can't come out of the tunnel like a deer in the headlights and they can't play timid. This is a game that they have to take control of early and they have to keep the right foot planted squarely on the gas. As always.....GO CARDINALS!!!

Hey guys
Falcons fan here. This is looking to be a good game. Just a quick question. Do they not call offsides in Arizona or something? Good luck, otherwise.

They usually do
Tends to be easier to get to the QB though when you jump before the ball is snapped.

As you know, most of us at Big Blue View are fans of Kurt...
I really enjoyed watching the Cardinals respond to all the talk about being the worst team in the playoffs. It’s also nice to know that there are still players like Kurt to serve as proper role models for our kids. Good luck on the rest of your ride this year.
