The Panthers might win, but Newton could be broken before it's over. Damn.

 

[Hunter S.]

For the first time, Gruden sounds like he hates calling a game.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Refs are trying to make up for the pathetic DPI.

Too little too late bros, no way Arizona can score 2 TDs!

 

[methodman]

:jnc, impromptu Hoculi rulebook lesson

Hoculi has all his rulebook lessons recorded in a cut up video. He watches it every day

 

[Grexeno]

Hilarious that no intentional grounding was called. So glad we have the A teams out there for these games.

Uh, intentional grounding is irrelevant here because as Eddie just explained, he was attempting a forward pass before the tackle twisted it into a lateral.

 

[Bowser]

welp, should have been at least an easy FG, but SHULA MAGIC

 

[TheAbsolution]

I'm loving these explanations.

 

[Duxxy3]

LOL, there really is a rule for everything.

Most complicated rule book in sports?

It's america's game. People in america love to read.

Seriously what the fuck at all these flags. Ridiculous.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I don't blame him, this shit is awful to watch.

Please Tebow let the Cowgirls win, so we get one of these teams at the CLink next week.

Didn't really look like it was a forward pass to be honest. He was facing the sideline as he was falling/throwing it.

 

[methodman]

At least this drive is wasting a ridiculous amount of game time. Lol

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 1m1 minute ago
After three quarters, the #Cardinals have 62 yards and three first downs. In a playoff game.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 14s15 seconds ago Charlotte, NC
Cards had the ball for less than 4 minutes that quarter, managed minus-3 yards.

 

[squicken]

Lindley is fucking trash but that falls on the coaching staff. Lots of teams try to carry just 2 QB's and then stash someone on the practice squad. well, that's fine, but when you do that you fail to develop someone else in the freak chance that you need to call on your 3rd string QB to start meaningful games. then you have what the cards have where you desperately sign someone off a practice squad and that's an impossible situation for Lindley.

this situation falls on 1) bad luck and 2) coaching personnel decisions

Steelers and Colts fans would get mad at Arians for exposing Luck and Ben to big hits. But they guy has had some good offenses, and as long as the starter is healthy, it is effective

But he's very Mike Martz. How smart is it to let your QBs get hammered running all those vertical routes? His offenses worked b/c he had two tanks in Luck and Ben and got a fluke health year from Palmer

 

[Draconian]

lol He was moving backwards in the defender's grasp already. That pass was going nowhere near an eligible receiver even if he didn't get twisted around.

 

[Bowser]

..because the defender twisted him into throwing what looked like a lateral which still counts as a forward pass in the rule book.

 

[Grexeno]

Didn't really look like it was a forward pass to be honest. He was facing the sideline as he was falling/throwing it.

Because he was being twisted around while being tackled.

 

[Crisco]

welp, should have been at least an easy FG, but SHULA MAGIC

The fact they every win guarantees him more time as our offensive coordinator is the worst.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Put in Logan Thomas

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Fuck this game.

Just call it and give Seattle their double bye already

 

[Tamanon]

So, Arizona's special teams coach is great, huh?

 

[Nemesis121]

Said fuck this game went to an all you can eat Chinese buffet

 

[ActStriker]

We playing fuckball now

*nod*

That's my thought as well. You can get your QB blown up when it's Ben or Luck, but apart from those guys there aren't many who can take the kind of punishment Arians seems to expect of his guys.

 

[Kusagari]

Arians should have signed a vet like Grossman the second Palmer went down for insurance in case something happened to Stanton. Instead his secret back pocket weapon in case of emergency was apparently Ryan Lindley because he "knew the offense."

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

It is amazing that even in the playoffs MNF gets thee shittiest game. That consistency

 

[jakncoke]

lol if cards break the fewest yards record for playoffs

 

[beast786]

People who fought in France and Japan didn't sacrifice anything.

People who were drafted into foreign wars didn't sacrifice anything.

Is that what you're saying?

This might be breaking news for you. But draft ended 41 years ago

 

[Tamanon]

Doesn't matter if you know the offense if you can't execute it.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Cards need 20+ yards to avoid infamy. Can they do it?

And as I type that, Lindley lofts up a softy.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Arians should have signed a vet like Grossman the second Palmer went down for insurance in case something happened to Stanton. Instead his secret back pocket weapon in case of emergency was apparently Ryan Lindley because he "knew the offense."

Wait, are you serious about the Grossman thing?

Because while that would've been entertaining, it wouldn't have been any more effective.

now, Tebow? That man can work miracles.

grossman had a christmas party pre-planned so he couldn't be bothered

 

[methodman]

Lol at watching lindley in the pocket. Yikes

 

[Branduil]

Lindley has to be the worst QB in playoff history, right?

 

[cdyhybrid]

 

[metalslimer]

Logan Thomas can't be worse than this

 

[Sweeney Tom]

7 3-AND-OUTS

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Joe Webb 2.0.

 

[Kiryu]

Larry need to get out of this garbage team. He have not had legitimate QB for 4 years. If he had a QB. He would have averaged 1000 yard and 10 TD a season. Poor Larry.

 

[Cloudy]

You gotta go for it, right?

 

[Grexeno]

Lindley has to be the worst QB in playoff history, right?

You would probably be surprised at the QBs who have managed to start a playoff game.

Also Tim Tebow

 

[Elfforkusu]

Lindley has to be the worst QB in playoff history, right?

Joe Webb takes issue with your short memory.

 

[methodman]

Should have just picked Tyrell Pryor and ran it 27 times

 

[JABEE]

This might be breaking news for you. But draft ended 41 years ago

People who fight for this country still deserve respect. Paying the people who risk their lives to defend us is the least we can do. It doesn't disqualify the sacrifice they make in putting their lives and mental/physical health at risk.

And in case you didn't notice, there are still people who are live that were drafted into the military. They don't just disappear and stop being our concern when they're no longer able to fight and "get paid."

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Arians threw in the white flag by not going for it

 

[Paches]

Go Cowboys.

 

[Crisco]

Bersin literally catches like a girl. Why is he in the NFL?

 

[Tamanon]

You would probably be surprised at the QBs who have managed to start a playoff game.

Also Tim Tebow

Tebow was better.

 

[Bowser]

Darin Gantt ‏@daringantt 22s22 seconds ago
How bad must Logan Thomas's one practice as the Cardinals starter have been?

 

[Kusagari]

Wait, are you serious about the Grossman thing?

Because while that would've been entertaining, it wouldn't have been any more effective.

Sexy Rexy slanging dragons to Floyd and Fitzgerald at least has a minuscule chance of points. Better than whatever the hell Lindley is doing.

Too much Hart
