Just as long as you forgive me when I wander too far into the "right" thread, Ms. Pixie Druid (I've credentials to explore the extreme fringes, but quickly get out of my depth!).

Iggles have stormed back to take the lead 25-24 with about 7 and a half to go in the game, but 'Zona is threatening....

Culhwch · 18th January 2009, 10:58 PM

I'm thinking it's going down to the last possession, this one...

Ursa major · 18th January 2009, 11:04 PM

One team misses a one point conversion, the other makes a two-pointer.

Definitely a nail-biter....

Culhwch · 18th January 2009, 11:13 PM

And the Eagles come up short... You gotta think that sends Arizona to the Superbowl.

Grimward · 18th January 2009, 11:17 PM

3rd and 1. 59 seconds left. A little too much time to take a knee twice...and NOW 4th and 2 and the Cards have to take their 2nd timeout!!! Not over yet, folks!

9 seconds to go 93 yards! Strike that (stupid gamecast!). A valiant effort by the Iggles, and the Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl!!!!!! Amazing!

Ursa major · 18th January 2009, 11:18 PM

Fourth and two, with 15 seconds on the clock, and in the middle of the field.

And a timeout....

And now the ball is on the Eagles' seven yard line....

Culhwch · 18th January 2009, 11:19 PM

Nine seconds, hail mary time.

Ursa major · 18th January 2009, 11:23 PM

And a fumble: Cardinals' ball.....

Cayal · 18th January 2009, 11:24 PM

Good to see the Cardinals in the Superbowl.

I think they have a real shot if they play Baltimore...not so much if they play the Steelers.

Culhwch · 18th January 2009, 11:25 PM

Well who'd have picked a team from the NFC's weakest division to represent them come Superbowl time?

Interestly, too - both punters in that game were Australian...

Ursa major · 18th January 2009, 11:27 PM

Well done, Cardinals.

(And who'd have thought that Australians liked to gamble?

Or whatever...?

)

Grimward · 18th January 2009, 11:29 PM

I dunno about their chances against either, Cul, but Kurt Warner has become an x-factor. The only question is whether the Cards O-line can give him time to throw against either defense....and who would want to be throwing against Troy Palamalu or Ed Reed?!!

Culhwch · 18th January 2009, 11:47 PM

Anyone game to pick the scores in this one? I'm saying 13-9, Baltimore wins it.

Ursa major · 18th January 2009, 11:54 PM

You're pushing the boat out a bit there by forecasting a touchdown, Cul.

Or are you suggesting a couple of Safeties...?

Ursa major · 19th January 2009, 12:21 AM

And now, after less than ten minutes, the Steelers are 6-0 up.

Given the context, the Steelers are running away with this (

); at the moment.

But, sadly, I'll have to find out what happens in Pittsburgh tomorrow morning.
