[Dixie]

Oh wait, you meant pro ball? Sorry don't follow it, only college ball. :D

[Ranger44]

Born and raised in MN. Suffer along with other Vikings fans. We are tied for the division lead with Chicago.

[grandmadeb]

I like the Giants, even last year in the beginning of the season when my husband kept telling me what losers they were and how their season was over and of course how Eli Manning was terrible. I kept reminding him that brother Peyton didn't exactly set the world on fire his first couple of years and to have some faith. Wow did they ever come alive and stun football fans ! I have never liked or disliked the Jets, but they may have something this year, if they can hold it all together.
I also like the Redskins and Green Bay. Not too fond of the Cowboys or the Pats.

[cyb]

Well I am a Dolphin fan, I know its sad but hey they are doing better this year!

[doc_western]

Green Bay all the way! :) not doing as well as last year..but hey, we're better than the Lions, right? LOL.
we're 4-5....behind the icky purple guys and that one team down in that windy city......:innocent:

[PoniesRock101]

[Ranger44]

well....ill admit that ours aren't all that great at playing indoors.....but domes are for sissies. :p

Sissies......sissies......What's your point? lol The dome seemed like a good idea in 1980.

I dare you to say that to any player, well maybe a punter or a kicker but have you ever stood next to one of those guys? I'm not small but they make me feel like a little guy indoors out out. LOL

[gaited07]

NY Giants Household here;) standing 7-1, next is the Chicago Bears (don't know the standings)

[offgridgirl]

Any football team...high school,college or pro...A good game is good game!!
I love watching all football games...weather the team I like, wins or loses!!! Jets played really well on thursday!!
Seahawks NEED a win!! The Hasslehoof and Branch are playing so it should be a good game!!! Rain thou....

[doc_western]

we're playing the bears tomarow....i think we can both agree that they are worse, no?:rolleyes:

I have no reason to do anything near liking the Bears. My son on the other hand has some Bear's clothing. I don't know where I went wrong with him. He's still a Vikes fan but what's up with the Bears kid? My daughter is a big Vikes fan as she took to the upbringing much better I guess. She has beaten her husband more than once in their fantasy football league. :)

So we can agree to be big rivals on one side but dislike the Bears together on the other. I think I might still like you despite your obvious football flaws.

Have a great day Doc!!!!:cowboy:

New York Giants. Family is from New York and all are big Giants fans, so even though I only lived there till I was five, I'm a fan. Guess I don't mind the Broncos since I live in Colorado.

[Ranger44]

Hey doc, The Packers need to pick it up a bit against the Saints right now. They had a good start but are having a tougher time now.

We get the bears next Sunday night.

[doc_western]

yeah i know.....hmph. :doh:

[Ranger44]

The Pack comes back! This one could end up the first one to 50 points wins! Where's the defense?

[offgridgirl]

Who is winnin'??? I don't get that game???

[pandorasmom]

You can go to NFL.com and can watch the play by play of the game offgridgirl. :)

On the top right of the screen it will say like GB, then under it (or over) NO, and has the score. Click the box and it'll take you to the play by play.

[FoxFireEMT]

After 26 years of cheering for the same old team & being a faithful fan, I think I'm ready to spit in their faces after last sundays game against the Ravens!! Can you guess who my TEAM is... Yep, Eagles. In my opinion, Andy Reed needs to go along with his Q-back McNabb. I was ready to spit fire that day, I just had to turn off the TV, I could feel my blood pressure rising. McNabb, known for his choking ablities. REED, known for his POS skills. He needs to retire!! :rant:**okay off my Soap BOX**

I gave up this year caring what ranking they were in.

[CircleR]

Hey FoxFire, we are playing your team on Thanksgiving night!!!! GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!

[All4Grace]

Giants!! Baby!!!

[FoxFireEMT]

Hey FoxFire, we are playing your team on Thanksgiving night!!!! GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!

LOL O don't you worry, Eagles are GREAT at "choking"! LOL. I guess I can't say Go Birds because we won't know what bird's I'm talking about!! LOL. :cowboy:

[Ariesgrl131]

RAIDERS BEAT THE BRONCO"S ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry: I'M SO HAPPY!!! <sorry bronco fans> I'M SOOOO Happy !!! :clap::crazy: 3-11

[doc_western]

[Ranger44]

Ouch doc! Where did the Pack go in the second half? Now you can help cheer against the Bears next Sunday night.

[offgridgirl]

WOOhoo what a game b/w giants and redskins!!!

[doc_western]

[offgridgirl]

[offgridgirl]

jets are kickin'! butt!!! WOO HOO

[doc_western]

why do the packers have to follow up every good thing with some dumb mistake? UGH! choke! :mad:

[Ranger44]

woooo! packers are winning!! woot! :D:cowboy:;):)

Just got home from Christmas shopping!

Ummm... how does that saying go, "Don't count your chickens...."

Sorry about your Pack doc.

Time for the Vikes to kick off.:clap:

[doc_western]

who are you playing, Ranger?
we were tied.....the field goal was supposed to be a good idea.....we forgot we have no special teams talent....sometimes it slips our mind that we dont have a defensive line...:(...our quarter backs don't usually do dumb stuff when forcing the long ball....really! it wasn't our fault at all! it was the wind! it was cold! :innocent:

[Ranger44]

You sound like a true cheesehead. Good excuses. Vikes-Bears!!!! Sunday night football.

[doc_western]

woot! bears lost :) i read in the paper today that mason crosby (punter) has more tackles then 3 of our defensive players.....what's wrong w/ that? lol.

[Ranger44]

When it goes bad it goes really bad lol. There's always next week.

[offgridgirl]

What about Monday night football??? Who is playing????

[Fjords <3]

Woohoo! Another win for the Colts!

[offgridgirl]

okay it looks like Jacksonville @ HOuston......this should be interesting....

[John Boy]

I think i might be able to like you, too. LOL.

[offgridgirl]

How are everyone's teams doing????

Patriots and Seahawks out of playoffs!!! POO!!:(

[pandorasmom]

Cowboys and Steelers today, Cowboys are doing a little iffy. Not good, but not bad. Just not the best. LOL :p Maybe Romeo can do something with the help of his teammates though. I'm keepin' my fingers crossed for my Boys!

[FoxFireEMT]

Gooooo Eagles you didn't Kiss another game away! :rolleyes: Not that it matters anyway. They have no chance at anything!! BUT GO BIRDS!!

[Ranger44]

The Vikings pulled out another ugly one against the winless Lions. But, in the end they all count as wins. I saw that the Bears won and the Packers lost.

[FoxFireEMT]

/GOOOOOO STEELERS!! wow that was a lucky & close one there!

[doc_western]

ugh......dumb defense! we had them at the 2 yard line.....tied at 21........and we let them score.....w/ no time left in the 4th quarter. :( i miss last years packers. :cloud:

[FoxFireEMT]

I know the pain Doc, try being an Eagles fan! Nothing but disappoint Sunday after Sunday! LOL.

[pandorasmom]

Man, I hate the Steelers won. Really stinks.

We were doing so good, and then with the Refs giving them the game, and then letting them get everything in the 4th quarter, we didn't stand a chance.
There were several calls that should've been and shouldn't have been called that were. I get so sick of trying to fight the refs every week. They are suppose to be the Pros too, so much for that.

[no hurray]

you really want pain try being a buffalo bills fan!!

[doc_western]

I know the pain Doc, try being an Eagles fan! Nothing but disappoint Sunday after Sunday! LOL.

lol....it wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't gotten so far last year! we were one game away from the super bowl.......lost by a stupid field goal in OT! *headdesk*

[FoxFireEMT]

[doc_western]

hey, no laughing! jk, lol. i have a plan to help our defense to do better.....bench all of them ('cept kampman, harris & woodson- i like them:) )..then pull some people out of the crowd, and have them play! it couldn't be any worse than what's been happening latley....

[Ranger44]

Wow doc, You have a bad case of the football blues. You can cheer for the Vikes if you want until the pack wins again. :p

[offgridgirl]

It's going to be one hell of a play off!! I love those Viking.....they are going for it!!
I also was mistaken, the Patriots are in the hunt for a wild card spot......only time will tell and the jets and dolphines losing.....hehehehhehehe:innocent:

My husband and I have a mixed marriage, he's a Vikings fan...we typically don't watch Viking/Packer games together! ;)

I'm so happy the Cowboys beat the Giants. Woot Woot!!! Way to go 'boys!!! :D

I felt so bad for Romeo though. After he got injured and still played. Him, Witten and Barber are tough ol' cookies and take all the beatin' and brusin' and still play. I just wanted to hug Romeo though. Does he need a friend? LOL :hysterical:

I forgot this thread was here too..I'll try to remember to keep it bumped if it gets "lost". lol :p

[JennyandJosey]

I am not a fan of the Cowboys, but I need Romo to do well if I am to have a shot at making my fantasy football league playoffs. Him sitting out 5 weeks with a dang pinky injury did not help me!

Nope he is gone at the end of the season. I think they have already named another head coach....

Okay SNOW ball fight @ Gillette Stadium!! Patriots TOUCHDOWN!!!!!:)

[offgridgirl]

:clap::clap:Touchdown!!! What a game Snowballs everywhere!!

[pandorasmom]

I can't believe the final game in Texas Stadium and we loose. Actually I can, especially if that's how they(NFL) wanted to "plan" for it to happen. Dadburnit that really eats me alive! And I couldn't watch it because it was on the NFL Network, and on top of all that, we can't watch next week's game cause the stupid pussycat panthers will be on the same time, and with the NFL's stupid rules, we can't watch anything but the pussycats since they are our "home" team though I don't claim them as that.

[offgridgirl]

I think I can say "we won this one!!"" 47 to 0!! Arizonia can't play in the snow!!!

Gotta hand it to them, they did good. Arizona just wasn't doing so "hot" (pun initally not intended, but is now. :hysterical: Lol). They just didn't seem to have the pazazz I saw earlier in a game this season. Can't remember who it was they were playing in that game though. lol :p Me and my bad memory.

[offgridgirl]

Good game in the snow for the Seahawks and Jets. Giants and Panthers are going @ it!! Bet all the players are glad it's inside!!:)

[Ariesgrl131]

woo hoo Raiders won!!

[pandorasmom]

Man that Giants/Panthers game was something I tell ya. Sorry to the buccs fans, but I'm glad they lost, keeps our playoff hopes alive.

[JennyandJosey]

Any fellow Packer fans watch the game tonight? For the first time in our marriage my husband was rooting for the Packers (for the Vikings sake). Why can't the Packers close a game in the 4th qtr this year? Ugh...I hope it's a better year next year! I think we need to draft defense this year!

[offgridgirl]

Sorry don't get it here.... Was at least evenly matched??? What was the score??

[JennyandJosey]

Bears 20, Packers 17. Bears hit a field goal in overtime. But the Packers should have had this game.

Yea, the Packers have been out of it for a few weeks now. It would have been nice to spoil the hated Bears chance! They still need another win and a Vikings loss to make the playoffs or if they both win the Bears can get in with a Tampa & Dallas loss I think. Playoff scenarios get so complicated! :confused:

Yea, that's the truth.:mad: I spent 45 min on the NFL sight and still couldn't figure out what the Patriots need to have to get the wildcard spot. I think they need to win the next two games while the Dolphins lose and the Vikings as well :eek: I think?!?!?!?!?!

Yeppers, last I heard they were.

Cowboys needed the Buccs or Flacons to loose one of their last two games, and we need to win against Philly this Sunday. The Buccs lost this past Sunday, so looks like if we can win Sunday we will have squeaked in.

My dad said he thought it was the Packers we'd rather have had win out of them and the Bears. So I was rootin' for the Packers more, but not much. lol I didn't really care out of the two.

[offgridgirl]

So here is the schedule for Sunday. I need the Jets to win over Miami. Also the Patriots need to win over Bills. If Miami wins, then Jackiville Jaquars must win over the Baltimore Ravens in order for the Patriots to get the wild card slot....CONFUSED??!?!?!? I am but that's football. I can only hope for more snow in Buffalo as the Pat's really like playing in it!!:cool:

[offgridgirl]

GO Patriots and Jets!! WOOHOO!! I love sundays!!

[pandorasmom]

Go Dallas!!!

We've got to have this win to barely clinch a playoff wildcard spot. If we get in, we'll be squeaking in by a narrow margin which I hate, only because I know they could've done better.

[Ranger44]

The Vikings can win the North division today with a win but right now they are spinning their wheels against the Giants.

[offgridgirl]

that's the wind blowing the camera...:eek:
It's going to be tough scoring today......:popcorn:

[doc_western]

*sigh*....how can the packers make an 0-15 look so good? :(

[offgridgirl]

well the Pat's are out and Miami is in. I guess I'm routing for the Bronco's now.....

[pandorasmom]

Wow, Dallas.... *tsk tsk* I have no comment.

[doc_western]

Wow, Dallas.... *tsk tsk* I have no comment.
:D there's nothin' better than a day where the pack win, & the cowboys get kicked out of the playoffs in a wonderfuly embarrising defeat, is there? :p

[pandorasmom]

lol :p

Nope, nothing thrills my soul more then to see my team loose so badly, and know I won't get to see Romeo till next year. Oh and to add to that now Benworthlessweiner :hysterical: got hurt. Not that I really like someone getting hurt, but I can't stand the Steelers. Lol :p

I hate how the game went! It was awful the way we got killed. I don't know what went wrong, besides everything. I better leave it at that 'for I get anymore upset. It really bothers me to know end. Sad to say we won't get to see him till next August.
I'm so sick of the Media saying he can't win games in December or the playoffs. The way I see it Dallas hasn't been able to do that since like '97 I think. So It's not JUST Romo's faught. Dallas is a team, and when they play it's the teams efforts, not just Romo or Witten or Owens or anyone else, but all of them. You can't place the blame on solely one person. There's so many if's. If this person would've done this right and that one would've done this right.
Oh well, my sister got me a Romeo book for Christmas, so I can look at his pictures 'till Pre-Season starts. Maybe next year will be our killer year!!

[offgridgirl]

:D there's nothin' better than a day where the pack win, & the cowboys get kicked out of the playoffs in a wonderfuly embarrising defeat, is there? :p
I can't believe QB made that many mistakes.....it was embarassing....aaaawww weell Onwards and upwards

What do ya thing of the Broncos????:cool: So far I'm going to hold my breath....sheeshh.......

[Horseless]

Thank God the season is over for the Seahawks they really sucked this year.
oh well theres always next year.:)

[JennyandJosey]

I'm thankful the Pack wasn't the first to lose to the lowly Lions. Hoping next year is better. My husband is happy the Vikes are in the playoffs.

All I have to say about Dallas...that darn Romo went and ruined my fanstasy football game again. I just missed my leagues playoffs! I won't be picking him next year.

[pandorasmom]

I truly think Romo and the entire Dallas team will knock some socks of next year. I maybe wrong, but I think it's coming.
Congrats to all those who made it, except the Eagles and Giants. Yuck

[doc_western]

:huh: there aren't really that many teams in the playoffs that im interested in.....oh well. im just happy that we won a game, lol. for a while i was a little worried we were gonna hand the lions there first win....haha. :rolleyes:
what was the final score of the dallas game....?

[Ariesgrl131]

Woo Hoo go Raiders go Raiders go!! Poor Romo... I think there will be some changes in dallas next year, either with the coaching staff or the players..

[pandorasmom]

44-6

I just am still in disbelief. And I can't believe Romeo's hurt. I hate it when he gets hurt, not just because he's hurt, but I just feel sooo bad for him. He and Witten are such troopers when they get hurt.

Can I give him a Hug? lol :p

[pandorasmom]

Woo Hoo go Raiders go Raiders go!! Poor Romo... I think there will be some changes in dallas next year, either with the coaching staff or the players..

They've said there will be no coaching changes, of course that's right now so I can't say what will happen later.
Something's just telling me we're gonna do good next year. It's like a gut feeling. It's our time to shine again, ain't it??? :p

[Ranger44]

I truly think Romo and the entire Dallas team will knock some socks of next year. I maybe wrong, but I think it's coming.
Congrats to all those who made it, except the Eagles and Giants. Yuck

Sorry your team took it on the chin so hard. Sorry for you but not your team :p. Many would agree with you about next year but it seems to many that the socks this year belonged to Jessica Simpson and Tony boy might need to change to some other socks for next year! :)

I love the nicknames you have for players, especially big Ben. Do you have any other good ones? Thanks for the chuckles.:cowboy:

[pandorasmom]

Thanks, I'm sorry to! I personally didn't think Romeo was all over Jessica especially this year. I haven't heard much about Jessica all season, and I've been grateful. I thought they'd broken up anyways. She's not right for him. A good ol' boy like himself who roughhouses with the guys and just hangs out doesn't need a CHB (California Hollywood Brat). Oh well, regardless, I think it's (winning to go to playoffs) just not meant to be honestly. Not yet. I have my own idea about that though and figure y'all would appreciate me keeping it to myself. lol :p

Just name them nicknames as we see 'em, so don't remember exactly it all. My sister calls Big Ben, Worthlessburger, so I decided to come up with my own and it be Ben Worthlessweiny.

I know we have called Brett Farve, Brett Fart before. Can't recall any other names right now, but I'm sure more will come to me. We say that Eli Manning's (and Tom Brady's) ego is too big for the football field, and that the Giants coach needs to go to a rest home, but that's about it. I know it's not nice of me, but I get a kick out of it.
Oh and The Redskins are the Washington Deadskins. The Carolina Panthers are the Pussycats.

I think that's about it for now.

[pandorasmom]

Oh and the Patriots Coach is Bill Buttichick.

[offgridgirl]

OKay saturday night football....I'm in heaven!! Tied up so far.....:) Looks NICE and WARM there....hummmmm San Diego!!!:cowboy:

[offgridgirl]

okay good game and17 t0 14. Ind is leading so far.....Chargers are fighten' for it!!

[offgridgirl]

WOW oh WOW SAN DIEGO just won in OT!! What a game!! Where is my beer!!:clap::cheers::cheers::cheers:

[Ranger44]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!! It's playoff time for the Vikings. Philly is playing really well right now. Which Vike's team will show up. Will it be a good game? I wish I could get as excited as offgridgirl. Good luck to everyone today.

[FoxFireEMT]

Gooooo Ravens & Gooooooo Eagles!!! Personally I'm an Eagles fan (so reality, I'm gonna watch them choke tonight!) But I cheer 4 the Ravens too!!!! (It's so close to home!)

[offgridgirl]

WOO hoo Ravens are in!!! and Miami is O>>U....T!!!!:p. I'm gonna go with the Vikings!!

[offgridgirl]

Close game b/w the vikings and eagles......Good thing it isn't snowing in the stadium!!:cool:

[FoxFireEMT]

[offgridgirl]

Okay football Saturday......Titans and ravens and arizona and carolina. Action starts @ 1:30 pm west coast time.....

[offgridgirl]

Tied up in the 2nd half 7all around. Some great plays for TD!!

[offgridgirl]

GEEEZZZ My heart can't take it anymore....The last 5 minutes of the game have been just on the edge!! I think we r going into OT

[offgridgirl]

AAAWWWW man I just go out to feed and what happens???>>>>>> Ravens win!!!! Next up Arizona and Carolina!!:)

[westmanfarrier]

How could Arizona make Carolina look so much like kittens :p

Go Cards...representing NFC West!

[offgridgirl]

Well it's set up for next week....Steelers and Ravens and Eagles and Cardinals???? Is there a thing for Birds this year????? gosh......

[FoxFireEMT]

Yep Bird thing it is... I've been saying it for Weeks Ravens & Eagles Superbowl!! How crazy would that be? Course being from Pa orginally it would be neat to see Steelers & Eagles in there too. As you can tell.... GO EAGLES!! LOL.

Seriously though, I'm glad to see some different teams in there this year. Cardnials, *until today, Chargers*... ahhh well just a good excuse to yell & scream ~drink & eat good food.

[offgridgirl]

Yup it was a good day to stay in and watch some football. BIRDS BIRDS and MORE BIRDS!! Fly like eagle and sting like a Raven. The Steelers may just get there thou.:cowboy:

[FoxFireEMT]

They may..... I'm not counting any one out just yet. Although I'm a true Eagles fan, I wouldn't mind seeing any of the teams up to go!!!

[rums_mom]

They may..... I'm not counting any one out just yet. Although I'm a true Eagles fan, I wouldn't mind seeing any of the teams up to go!!!

Well I, for one think that Donovan played a great game today!
Looking forward to see how the next games play out...

I am a die hard BEARS fan, cuz I iz a CHi town grl...........
But I moooved to Nc in 89 so it was when they got the..........
Ones that ROWLD.......
And we got the big hears in the sky..that make it right so i can see y ou live.

I LOVE FOOTBALL! Sundays...watching football all day long. That is what heaven is.....

[pandorasmom]

Well, I was rooting for Cardinals out of them and Carolina and was rootin' for Giants (shame on me) outta Eagles and them. I dispise the Eagles and Giants to know end. I just hate both of them, but I have one less hate for the Giants and would've rather seen them go. I couldn't decide between the Chargers and Steelers, prolly Chargers. My family was pulling for Chargers, I have a few reasons I kinda don't like them, but maybe that's just me.
From here out I'm rootin' for Cardinals. I think Kurt's kinda cute anyways! LOL

I really wish my team was in there, but alas we aren't so I pull for the next best. If it comes down to Eagles and Steelers, I'm pulling for Steelers, though I hate saying that, cause I can't stand Ben Worthsweiney and the Steelers. If it comes down to Cardinals and Ravens I'm definitely pulling Cardinals all the way. Can't stand the Ravens either.

[CircleR]

Cardinals going all the way!!!!

[HoustonFarrier]

STEELERS !!!!

yeah baby !:p

Steve

[JetLagaside]

I am a die hard BEARS fan, cuz I iz a CHi town grl...........
.....

WOO HOO another Bears fan :cowboy:

[TLC97]

I think the game to watch is going to be the Steelers vs. the Ravens. I sooooooooo hope the Steelers win as I can not stand the Ravens.

All of our teams are home watching.

[offgridgirl]

okay football tomorrow....I've got my butt print in the couch already with all my chip.drinks and blanket ready!:) Now we need to know who is for what teams??
Ravens and Eagles for me!!

[offgridgirl]

OKAY FOOTBALL IS ON!!! COME ON EAGLES!!!:cowboy:

[offgridgirl]

WOW what game and the surprise outcome???? Cardinals win???? What an upset!!

[pandorasmom]

Way to go Cardinals!!!!!!!! Woohoooo!!!!!

[offgridgirl]

Ha what a game! Fighting and challenge!! what will happen next!! ooopss gotta go feed the horses.... I've got the face @ my door

[pandorasmom]

I'm so glad the Cardinals won..Now as bad I hate to say this cause I can't STAND the Steelers or the Ravens, I'm pulling for the Ravens.

[offgridgirl]

Go Ravens!!

[offgridgirl]

AWWWW man the steelers just scored!!!

[mrs1885]

Well, until last weekend it *was* the Titans, but they lost and got bumped from the playoffs, which also lost my hotel over $100k in anticipated revenue as we had the Titans and another play off team both contract with us for hundreds of rooms if they won. We really could have used that. Argh!!

Now, I really don't care. Just enjoying the game, rooting for anyone that hubby doesn't root for. Makes the games way more fun!

[mrs1885]

Pittsburg / Baltimore game just had a major collision! Two players took each other out. I'm in another room but hubby said both teams were on the field praying. Sounds like it's pretty bad. He said the ambulance is on the field and everything, packaging him up. Yikes!

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Ravens running back Willis McGahee (http://www.nfl.com/players/willismcgahee/profile?id=MCG001995) is expected to make a "complete recovery" from a fierce helmet-to-helmet hit in the AFC Championship Game (http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/recap?game_id=54463&displayPage=tab_recap&season=2008&week=POST20) that saw him carted off the field.
McGahee returned to his Baltimore home Monday after spending the night in a Pittsburgh hospital recovering from Sunday's collision with Steelers safety Ryan Clark (http://www.nfl.com/players/ryanclark/profile?id=CLA544413).

The play occurred in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's 23-14 victory (http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter?game_id=54464&season=2008&displayPage=tab_gamecenter), and McGahee was carted from the field on a stretcher.
"It is expected that Willis will have a complete recovery from the head and neck injuries he suffered last night," Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said Monday.
Although McGahee had significant neck pain, he had movement in his arms and legs after the hit. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and held overnight for observation. He was released early Monday morning and back home by early afternoon.
McGahee had just caught a pass and taken two steps before being met by Clark, who drove his helmet into McGahee's facemask. McGahee's head snapped back, and he lost the ball as he dropped to the ground.
Clark also collapsed, though it was immediately apparent that his injury wasn't serious.
Players from both teams gathered around McGahee, who lay motionless before being taken away.
"I started getting a little emotional when I saw him down there and the cart was coming out. That's the nature of this rivalry," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (http://www.nfl.com/players/benroethlisberger/profile?id=ROE750381) said after the game.
Starting at tailback in place of the banged up Le'Ron McClain (http://www.nfl.com/players/le'ronmcclain/profile?id=MCC333237), McGahee ran for 60 yards and two touchdowns.

I feel your sorrow.... Big hugs and get ready for next Sunday!!
Ya it was really tough today without football!! I did get a ride in and we had visitors all day...sheesh!!

I hope to have a few friends over with all sorts of food, dips, beer and other stuff(:rolleyes:)

[pandorasmom]

I'll see if I can squeeze in some riding time. Maybe later this year, in the spring, my friends across the hollar will want to ride some. She mentioned it back in November or December, so I can hope.

I missed football this past Sunday too. :( I WANT FOOTBALL!!!!! Watching the older college games they have on is good, but not as good as actual football, and especially NFL football. I also got a ride in, it was fun.

Can't wait for this Sunday! I get to see "my" Warner!!

[FoxFireEMT]

Party? Who said party? BEST part of football season is the parties every sunday & good food & some of those adult beverages!! Go WHATEVER team, my team isn't in it, so I don't care! LOL. I won't know what to do with my Sundays anymore, guess it's time to move on to Nascar!

[offgridgirl]

Only 4 more days til SUPERBOWL Sunday!! WOO WOO WOOT!! Got lots to do before then.....
PARTY HERE BABY!!! Sweats and sneakers welcome!!;)

I guess I'm going to be making pasta salad, my hubby is going to make his ribs, my family is bringing sides, and his family is bringing all the soda and chips. Now what are we going to make for dessert???
And of course my sisters and I are going to go get the good stuff (adult beverages):innocent: when they get here.
I hope everyone has a great football finale!!

[ItsPrimeTime]

We are preping here and it all looks yummy!! Hubby made Chicken soup from real chickens!!

[offgridgirl]

Okay first half was good and Steelers are winning!!. Gotta go feed the horses and then back to food and game

[pandorasmom]

For now I'll say way to go stupid refs and I love you Warner! Cards played great and faught like all get out. I might post more later. Just my quick thoughts.

[ItsPrimeTime]

Refs had some HORRIBLE calls!!!! Fitz had an amazing touchdown, like always, but we left too much time on the clock. We had over 100 yards in penalties!!! COME ON GUYS!

But hey, we made it to the championship, and that is farther than anyone ever thought we could!

GO CARDS!

[pandorasmom]

Refs had awful calls, and half of the penalties called against the Cards shouldn't have been called. Next, they didn't call half the plays they should have on the Steelers. It really gets me when the refs give the game away. Sure the Steelers won, but by way of the refs giving it to them. The Cardinals faught and did the best they could. In my mind they are the true winners! Sure there were mistakes, by BOTH teams. Not just one. Every game has mistakes that you can't do anything about. However, if the refs give you the game, you can sure count on winning. Way to win with the game being givin' to you Steelers!!

92-Harrison on the Steelers, should've gotten his butt kicked out of the game when he got the unnecessary roughness call. He should have NEVER did that, and should've been ejected immediately.

I say for an underdog team who was considered one of the worst playoff winners in history, and for this to be their first time going to the Super Bowl, they are the TRUE winners.

Way to go Cardinals! You tried your best, and that's all that matters. You atleast faught for it on your own while playing 2 teams, the refs and the Steelers.

[ItsPrimeTime]

I agree 100%!

However, if the refs give you the game, you can sure count on winning. Way to win with the game being givin' to you Steelers!!

92-Harrison on the Steelers, should've gotten his butt kicked out of the game when he got the unnecessary roughness call. He should have NEVER did that, and should've been ejected immediately.

I say for an underdog team who was considered one of the worst playoff winners in history, and for this to be their first time going to the Super Bowl, they are the TRUE winners.

Way to go Cardinals! You tried your best, and that's all that matters. You atleast faught for it on your own while playing 2 teams, the refs and the Steelers.

Oh ya, 92 should of had his butt tossed. Jerk.
We tried, and tried hard, but I walked out of Church with my head held low. I was so hoping they would win. I thought they had it at 230 min left in the game. Man, we were jumping up and down,,,,lost sound for a min cause of it...lol. Had a good time though, good food, good company, good game.

[pandorasmom]

We were jumping up and down too. I had my mom's chihuahua on my lap and set her off VERY quickly on the couch, and jumped up and started yelling and carrying on. :p I did have some hope then. As soon as the end started coming and I saw what was happening, I could only hang my head in disbelief. How could it happen?

[vicklynn]

My girlfriend and I walked out and had a smoke..lol. Her hubby and the rest of the group stayed and watched the end. We listened to the end on the radio. It was over for us.
Glad ya had a good time, I know I did.

[ItsPrimeTime]

We were screaming here too!!! I knew as soon and I saw him in the end zone that we were screwed though... You can't play THAT good of a game against that good of a team and expect to hold that small of a leave with 2:30 left in the game and their ball... It's impossible.

[pandorasmom]

Lol Vick, I watched it all but man I just can't get this in my head, I'm still denying it to my brain, lol and its not even my team!!!
Agreed IPT! Couldn't have said it better myself.
I do wonder about one thing a commentator said though, he said he wanted to thank the NFL for giving sucha great game, makes me wonder. But I'll leave it at that for now.

[pandorasmom]

Heard this morning on espn, There's even one of their football intelligent guys who said the refs should've reviewed the last play as well as given a celebration on I think Holmes when he was shaking the dust or whatever. Refs really were stupid.

[Ranger44]

I was cheering for the Cards and like you said there were calls missed but you can't blame the loss on the referees. The Cards had two good goal line stands back to back on one drive and couldn't stop the Steelers on the last drive. How many guys couldn't tackle Harrison on the interception for a touchdown? There were several times that if the Cardinals had made a good play the outcome would have different.

I listen to a lot of sports radio and they discussed the last play and said that it was looked at by the replay officials. They just didn't delay play to look longer. The league commissioner has also commented that he believes it was called correctly.

I'm born and raised in Pittsburgh. Grandpap played on the first Steelers team. Went to elementary school with Art Rooney, Jr. YEA STEELERS!!!!!!!

My problem is this isn't just A game this is THE game, it's the Super Bowl. When in doubt replay it several times to make sure it's right.
Skip (the one I heard on ESPN) normally is against everybody (especially the Cowboys), but he said himself he thinks the refs should've gotten those two calls right. He said if they would've gotten that celebration penalty with the dust that would've given the Cards 15 yds., and if they would've given a celebration penalty to the guy who took his helmet off early, they would've gained a total of 30 yds. Then they would've been around the 15 yd. line and had a opportunity. Please understand that by NO means am I saying that it should've came down to this. It shouldn't have. But IMO there were bad plays on both teams.
Even Skip said if the refs would've gotten the calls right there was nothing for sure the Cards would've won, but they would have atleast had a OPPORTUNITY to comeback after fighting like they did. Not to say they WOULD'VE came back, but could've. That's my whole point.
Thing is, that very last call should've been an incomplete pass, NOT a fumble. It's clearly seen he was having forward motion with it. If you pick up a pen and try to throw it across the room, you can see the forward momentum it has. However, if you accidentally drop it (aka fumble it) then it's not going to be flying through the air or attempting to, it will drop to the ground and may bounce. Sure this is a pen, but even if you got a football and tried it throwing a ball and fumbling it are two different scenarios. This was clearly a try at passing(throwing) the ball, and was not a fumble. I know it does not good to say all this now because it's final. However, The refs should've been VERY careful on what was called, if in no other game (since they normally don't pay attention or call correct calls in regular season), they should've on THE game of the year.
IMO the refs make stupid calls all the time, and not just on my team either. I've seen it numerous times, on different teams. If they can't make better calls then that, let's get someone who can. It's unfair!
In the playoff game between Cards and Eagles, the Eagles guy purposely charged after and tried to run over Warner. Unnecessary roughness IMO, but for some STRANGE reason the refs didn't see that.
Last night, when we got a call for "roughing' the passer" and then the one "running into the holder" (or whatever the tech terms are) they were both uncalled for. When the call was called for roughin' Ben, Ben had just released the ball and the guy was already heading for him. When your dodging for someone in mid air you can't just STOP on a dime. The play of "running into the holder" was the same way. The guy didn't intentially run into him. If I'm not mistaken he was tripped by another player and couldn't regain himself before hitting the holder. It wasn't intential!
But if your a ref, and your wanting the Steelers to win, by all means call the plays for them. Who wouldn't? It's suppose to be that the refs aren't partial, but in my eyes, I believe that, like I believe someone has an oceanfront property in Arizona for me.

[miatapony]

I love the cards... AND THE GAME WAS great !!! Next year .....

[ItsPrimeTime]

I think that we should have tackled Harrison right away.. He should have NO scored...

I also think he should have been thrown out of the game.. That was horrible!

The roughness calls were BOGUS! I guess no one say the unnecessary roughness on the Cards that no one called..? The guy that ran into the Steelers ball person (lol) was tripping... How do you stop a 200lb guy whose running and tripping and having absolutely NO control over his body before he hit that dude?! REALLY?! I'd like to see the refs reenact what happened..

Exactly! There should've been no score, but what happened happened and the Steelers guys were helping block while he was running up the field with Cards chasing him.

The roughness calls being bogus, agreed!

They never see the one that is on the other team. There was one guy who ran into Warner after he released the ball and it knocked him down if I'm not mistaken, I heard no unnecessary roughness calls on that?

It's hard to stop yourself after your flying through the air. The only thing that stops you is the ground, or someone. LOL He didn't mean to hit the holder. If they would've focused more on OVERALL calls instead of just the Cards. I mean come on, it was obvious who they wanted to win.

Unless it's been changed within the last couple years, I believe the defender has two steps before they hit the QB before it's a flag. I counted, and he was only one step away from the QB when Ben released the ball. What I don't understand is the fact that Ben was running around and had been out of the pocket. I think that makes him free game but I may be behind on the rule changes. They sure do love to protect that QB.

However, just because you didn't "intentially run into them" is not an excuse. Especially with the guy running into the guy holding the ball for the kicker. The kicker and the holder are completely off limits unless the defender blocks the ball. That Cards player KNEW better and he didn't just barely touch him, he PLOWED him over. Being tripped, isn't an excuse. You have to have control of your body. That was just a stupid mistake by the Cards. The roughing the passer was iffy but the call with the holder was right on.

And you probably wouldn't know it but I was cheering for the Cards myself!! I was so excited when they got the safety and then the TD to pull ahead. Blew my mind!!! And then was so disappointed when the Steelers scored with only seconds left. That last catch was dead on though. The guy had both toes down when he caught the ball. An amazing catch but I think they called it correctly. And they did review that call too. It was just clearly a catch.

Being a coach, and having relatives that referee and BEG me to ref too, I try to be nice to referees. That's not saying I don't "work them" in a game :p but you know.. they're human. They make mistakes. Even at the professional level. There were numerous STUPID mistakes made by professional football players on both sides. Why do we expect the referees to be perfect?

Okay let's see here, if we're talking about control of your body. Sure, you have control of your body, to an extent. Kinda like today when I got thrown over my horse's head, I had control of myself only to a point when I'm sailing thru the air and then I can not stop, Period!
When your tripped you can't get full "control of your body" to not hit the holder, depending on where you are. Obviously if he was 6 miles back (exaggerating here) and would've ran into the holder, I can see that. But it didn't appear at all intential. He tripped for heaven's sake! I myself tripped today over something and sure I was able to control myself but I did go forward some. When your throwing 200 lbs (or whatever the guy weighed) in the air by tripping, ya can't stop on a dime.

Secondly, Holmes appeared to have 1 foot down and the other toe down. I'm still not convinced he was fully in. Review or not, you can see what you want in review.

I don't expect the refs to be perfect, I expect them to be fair. And I think I mentiond that the football players on both sides made mistakes. I'm not asking anyone to be perfect.

Regardless, I guess what's done is done. Though to the day I die will say it was unfair and calls were made and not made that weren't fair.

[ItsPrimeTime]

I don't think the refs made the night necessarily... But they had a lot to do with it. You can't tell me that if the calls were different that we would have the same turn out. We would never know.. We will never know.

[offgridgirl]

Really good game. I couldn't believe the goal line interception and run-back. The guy needed oxygen afterward??? Is this not a professional, what is 100yards??? I guess the equipment is really heavy!! And what about that football??? It's got to weight what??? 2-3lbs??? Man, that does a 200lb guy in!!:doh:
Ya, I thought there were some calls that were bogus and I saw a lot of incidental facemasks that weren't called.

Seeya all next season!! What to do with Sundays now????hummmmmmm...:sleep:

[Kaitlyn]

I haven't read all the responses cause my eyes can't handle it, lol. But I will say YAY STEELERS! I thought they played an AWESOME game, but I have to agree the roughness was uncalled for, I wanted to smack him! Punching the other player, what is this, 3rd grade? Ugh. lol.

Good game.

Well, from what I've heard he had to have two feet down. Oh well....
