TNF: Cardinals at Rams

[HawkWow]

I expect the Rams to get ALOT of calls tonight. Cards are going to get screwed...

Why's that?

Just a lil theory. Seattle will get calls this Sunday too.

Because it sets up a nice "Showdown for the NFC West" Next Sunday. NBC LOVES that kind of shit. Remember the "NFC West Championship Game" in 2010? When Charlie Shitehurst forgot he was shite for one night and became a God on the field for 3 hours? Ratings, people. Ratings.

So along with Vegas, NBC is fixing games now?

Sooner or later these fixes will have to cancel each other out and we'll get a straight game.

Yes.

Dude, she's a guy. Don't fall for it.

Ummm maybe in make believe internet message board world Alice is a guy, but not in the real world.

Poor Rob. Fooled yet again. Did Thailand teach you nothing?

It taught me a lot, but, I guess I have more to learn.

Frank Zappa reference, nice.

What the hell happened to Zac Stacy? Dude looked like the second coming of a young Marion Barber last year. Now he's the forgotten man.

I'm hoping for an exercise in futility. Rams win 3-0 would be :th2thumbs:

Tre Mason has been great, aside from that last fumble

Outside of the elite and the awful, running backs are all basically the same player in a different body wearing a different jersey number.

Laurinitis broke up the pass.

Uh....the Cardinals player missed a bad throw.

 

[ivotuk]

Who the hell is AZ's kicker? Castanzas? Like from Seinfeld?

 

[BlueBlood]

Field goal, cool. Rams laying wood :thfight7:

For the record, I'm not saying its a conspiracy of epic proportions. But, yes, the refs will certainly always error on the side of protecting key games, if they can help it. The Cards game last week was flat out bizarre. And, the refs really, REALLY let the Seahawks secondary do their thing.

If the Cards had lost last weekend, and we all know they're not favored in this game, next week's game would be semi irrelevant, huh?

Ironically, the NFL screwed the Cards out of a win in Philly last year, protecting a week 17 NFC East showdown.

Rookie from Clemson. Very good kicker.

I didn't watch the entire game, but if you're referencing the fumble, I still can't make up my mind on that one. I was beyond pissed with the call...and understandably, since it worked against us. But after watching the play a dozen times, and not considering the impact it had on us, I'm not positive it was a blown call. My opinion, of course and I could easily see how someone else would determine it a fumble for certain. Just saying I no longer think the call was horrid.

I like these posts way better than the ones where people are like "I don't hate this team, they don't win that much!" Screw that; hate everyone in this division at max levels at all times.

 

[ivotuk]

Yay! A penalty!

Nope, not the fumble. The OPI called about three seconds after it occurred and in response to a Chiefs game sealing TD. That game was shadier than Red Alice's britches.

Or, watch the Denver Bills game from last week. It was stunning.

I don't normally buy into this type of shit. But, over the past few years December brings a lot of goofy things.

 

[Hasselbeck]

The way these Rams corners "cover" .. The Cards are going to hit their big chunk plays a few times tonight. Rams D just needs to hold them to FG's

The 9ers are nothing without Ted Ginn.

Understood my man. In regards to the fumble...what did you think about the call?
