Wild Card Weekend Game Day Thread(s)

[Longtimefan]

Maybe we can expect another shoot-out Sunday between the Cardinals and NO. Packers vs. Cardinals highest scoring playoff game in NFL history......amazing when you think about how far the Arizona Cardinals have come since their days of being the door-mat of the NFC east. We miss those two almost automatic wins every year.

Kurt Warner is the biggest difference for that team.

^ Yeah, the final score of the Cards-Saints game could be 60-53. It could look like a college basketball score.

I live in AZ now and its funny how many here don't seem to think Leinart will be a dropoff when Warner does retire. Will be some dark days when he is gone.

We can all thank Vinny. Personally I was stunned when we cut him.

Ah, yes isn't that funny. He's not good enough to start or be a backup RT or RG for a 4-12 team, but he's good enough to start at LT for an 11-6 playoff team. Somethings wrong with this picture. Point your finger at Buges and Cerrato for that decision. Both are done, thankfully.

[MTK]

I would assume Buges made the call as to who he wanted to keep on the OL, not Vinny.

[Lotus]

^ Well then, thanks a lot, Buges.

[SmootSmack]

Vinny had little to nothing to do with cutting Bridges. That was up to Zorn and Bugel (with significant input from Stump Mitchell and Sherman Smith I'm sure). We can think Vinny for even giving those guys to option to consider Bridges

[Monkeydad]

We can thank Vinny for the total lack of talent on the line though. Bugel could only work with what Vinny gave him.

[celts32]

I thank Vinny for the high blood pressure I developed over the past couple years.

[tryfuhl]

Yeah I was definitely surprised that we ushered Bridges out when the camp reports said he was doing well.. and the people that we chose to keep over him... so weird.

There's also a big difference between Bridges blocking for Kurt Warner and Bridges blocking for Jason Campbell. And this really isn't a knock on Campbell as much as it is praise for Warner. Dude is just redonkulous. His pocket awareness and ability to get rid of the ball at just the right moment is uncanny. He can make even the most routine of linemen look like all-pros.

Well said. I think people forget that sometimes. We look players released from our team, see them performing well elsewhere and assume the Skins made a bad personnel move.
