Game Thread: Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers (6:40 EST - FOX)

[Dude]

They were built on a shaky foundation... Palmer

No, they are a well built team. Getting spanked so bad is more often on the coaches and game plan when you are talking about high-caliber teams.

That was an embarrassment. Congrats to Carolina they came to play unlike the Cards.

I would agree but that was on Palmer. That many Ints 2 in the red one and a pick 6. thats 21 points. Plus 2 fumbles.

You know what? Sometimes the other team plays a masterful game and just kicks ass. A drumming this bad is not a game plan thing

Yep, tough game for Palmer. Brady made multiple mistakes too, but Pats D stood ground today. I would blame Cards D tonight as well, overall bad game plan because they do have the playas.

Game plan has a lot to with it, because it includes playing to your strengths.

You did, he will be filling it with booze and food later at the NFC championship celebration. Mission Accomplished.

I am sorry for your loss

I am sorry for your loss

Hu, I am not going to give you a bullshit on that one, but lord knows i wanted to. You arent sorry at all and neither am I. We got our Panthers back in the Big game and this time "Keep Pounding" is going to be heard loud and clear. We going to the 'Ship baby

Sam Mills, this team is living your motto and making it a reality both on and off the field.

Nah, for realz, Brah, I know what it's like to get bitch-slapped in a championship game!

I can totally sympathize w/ @FORKWDEVIL . I just hope he's getting the support he needs right now

I really thought that AZ would represent the NFC West like the bad asses we have been.

Hats off to Carolina. They got some game them boys

Arizona is still a good team, but this seems to happen at least once every playoffs: one club self-destructs at the worst possible moment, while literally everything goes right for the other team.

AZ's playoff performance or Midnight angel?? Who had the bigger meltdown?

Wow, that's a tough one, I'm going to need to think about this for a minute

Exactly and being able to adjust when it appears one of your strengths is weak. Arians needed to tone down the deep balls after halftime...instead it was just business as usual. The results were predictable.

Congrats...great win! Well earned!

I think most of us realize CAR is not 34 pts better than AZ if they played again next week...Getting drilled like that most often means turnovers and CAR got them in bunches.

When Iupati and company proved they could not handle the big boys, Short and Loti inside...it was going to be a long day for a pocket passer that had no pocket to step up into...same thing happened in DEN, Brady got knocked around a good bit too....Broncos OFC just didn't do much.

correct...the superior team won.
Palmer imploded

onward Carolina!!!

 

[gordontrue]

Congrats panther fans! Your team is damn good and seems to have never gotten the credit they deserved this season. 15 regular season wins and 2 absolute beat-downs over 2 solid playoff opponents. Good luck at the SB.

Honestly, I've been expecting this since the end of the game in Philly. Tyrann Mathieu is the beating heart of that squad and losing him was more than they could bear. They can luck out wins against decent teams but when it comes to the best of the best they can't do it without him.
