If the Cards win
and then lose the Superbowl, then they won’t make the playoffs next year, which means we probably will.
If they win the Superbowl, their FAs will be overvalued, and people will sign them, which mean we’ll make the playoffs.
Meh, we broke that curse already.

Sorry to derail humor for a serious response but
It’s obvious and logical than support for a team will ebb and flow based on success. Sports, and more specifically winning, is the product that these teams put out. If the product is bad, people won’t consume it.
In fact if teams didn’t suffer fan support if they did badly, they would lose every incentive to do well, and that would – quite frankly – suck.

If your point is that sports fans are fickle due to only caring when the team wins
I’ll agree, non Chicago Cubs fans are like that. I just don’t understand personally because I pay to see 100 loss Mariner teams and 12 loss Seahawks teams…I went to all 8 home games and like 65 of the M’s games this year, so I feel a little upset about fair weather fans in general. I don’t care if it’s an inevitability, it’s bullshit, you either like the team/sport, or you don’t. Don’t show up because they’re winning and it’s the cool thing to do, ya know?

That wasn't exactly my point
And to be clear, I want AZ to lose like someone that bought Enron, waiting for them to die, sold what he had left for pennies on the dollar and bought AIG
I didn’t really have a point.
I do ask you (I only went to one Hawks game this year, but I live in Vancouver and am still in line for season tickets so I have excuses) how long you would pay for a bad team? At what stage would you start supporting them from home?

I don't have a ton of expendable income.
I go to more games when teams are good than when they’re not because winning is more fun than losing. If I had more money it would be different, but I don’t (and at this point in history a lot of other people are in the same boat) so I go to fewer games. Keep in mind that Phoenix has been one of the areas hardest hit by the subprime clusterfuck.

While I don’t think they’re as good as they’ve looked in the playoffs, I think they are going to be a good team for a few years to come.

I tend to get excited… I also deal with numbers all day at work, and cannot stand the use of them… our due diligence at the banking center I work at are used emotionally… thus making them moot… and making trending football an exhaustive concept.
Statistics are a good predictor of what you want to have happen. I’ll leave it there. It is what happens that determins the happening.
That said, the numbers this group runs for football are impressive… maybe someday I’ll be interested in them.

There are lots and lots of places with communities that aren’t interested in statistical analysis. I just don’t understand why you’d choose this particular blog and then go about attacking it’s entire philosophy. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t hang out here, I’m just confused.

No one said Arizona isn't dominating this game.
They are playing great football in the playoffs, you won’t see much disagreement on that, however 3 games is too small of a sample size to tell us anything about a team and that’s what makes the playoffs so fun.
A perfect example is the 2006 Seahawks who should of been destroyed by a superior Cowboys team.
Let me take some of that back
I don’t think Dallas should of “destroyed” Seattle, but they were the better team.

Number can give us the most precise possible way to analyze a team.
But things happen. The Kansas City Royals swept the Yankees at Yankee stadium a few years back. Does anyone think the Royals were better than the Yankees? Obviously not. When Arizona was #21 in DVOA, and Philly was in the top 5, it’s ridiculous to say that Arizona is the better team. Are they winning today? Yes. Are the playing better than the Eagles today? Fuck yes they are, much better. Are they a better team? No, they’re not. Things happen.
What I don’t understand is why people are always so down on numbers when 8/10 times stats folks predict a player’s success correctly and old traditional methods are more 50-50…despite this, people still believe we’re wrong and don’t understand the sport. Why? Check any offseason, especially baseball and compare SABR predictions to regular, and guess who usually is closer? I’m not claiming we’re always right, we’re just usually CLOSER which is the whole point of analyzing a sport in the first place—to get as close as we can to predicting future success. Signs don’t point to Arizona being a dominant power for years to come. It’s reactionary to think that’s what’s going to happen.

More accurate, better decision maker, quicker release

Warner has the better career
The most SB rings
Better decision making
More godliness
Throws more accurately
(BTW all the above is subjectively measured, I haven’t looked up the numbers, I should)
I wouldn't take Warner over McNabb if I was building a team today.
McNabb has an 85.9 career passer rating and still has some value with his legs (3.8 YPA this year, 5.8 career) and is only what, 30 years old?
SB rings don’t matter.
Warner has a career 93.8 rating, better yes but much of his career was played in the dome in St. Louis with no wind or other factors. Warner’s peak>McNabb’s peak, but McNabb is the better QB today. I don’t buy Warner’s big 2008.

We've had this discussion before, but I'll repeat myself
All that proves is that the system is very good, and that Brady takes the very good system and makes it great(test ever?).
I would take Tom Brady of any QB in the league if I were starting a team, with the possible exception of Eli Manning.
I mean Peyton, was just funny to say Eli.
I'm with JM--Peyton is better than Brady.
Brady is an above average QB in a great system. I’m not convinced he’s an inner-circle hall of fame level QB. Not that he’s not good, but that system makes him look better.

This is why we've been ragging on Donovan McNabb.
He’s been missing open receivers all game.

McNabb is a lot like Hass it seems.
When he’s on, he’s unstoppable, and when he’s off, he’s putrid.

Dear Brett J Miller
I really am a poor QB most of the time, and occasionally throw gorgeous bombs. See the last few throws as proof of my inability to make good short/medium throws/decisions.
Sincerely,
Chunky Soup McNabb

Dear abender20,
He’s been above average his whole career and this game does nothing to prove otherwise.
Sincerely,
Logic.

Especially next year when Warner retires, Leinart takes over

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
He’s not good now, but he still has potential. He was pretty good at U$C.
The division wasn't good...
but that happens every year. For some reason the NFC West gets dogged even harder—and I don’t think I’m exaggerating on that. The Cards going to the big game at least makes the division less of a story.

But why should we care about this "story"?
All I know is that Arizona is a hated division rival, so fuck ’em.
That's my take
not sure why all the negativity.

Horrible for the division.
I hate this idea that you should root for your division when you lose. They’re your rivals for a reason and you’re supposed to bleed hate for them like you bleed love for your team. Nothing hurts me more than seeing the Angels play well, for instance.
I’m rooting for Pittsburgh over Arizona for sure. If we can’t beat them, Arizona doesn’t deserve the fucking honor.

I can't say that take is wrong
I just take the opposite tack. I like it when local rivalries take on national importance. That’s what this means for next year. Arizona will be favored to run away with the division. Hopefully we’ll be back and when we beat them it “means” a little more to national audience.
Once upon a time nobody cared about New England v Miami outside those two cities.

total gift.
that guy doesn’t grab Curtis’s legs, Curtis has the ball and a down defender. Coulda been a touchdown?
LOOK AT IT AGAIN
No he did not
The ball was thrown behind him

by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 18, 2009 3:15 PM PST up reply actions
BEHIND him?
The ball landed in front of him.
after he turned and adjusted yes
from his intended route, no

Curtis had to stop his momentum to slow down to even have a chance.

yup. Another poor McNabb throw in a sea of bad mcnabb throws today
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
there's no such thing as an "intended route" in the WCO
you adjust on the fly. The ball was there, so was the receiver. If he’s not falling, it’s probably a catch.
so all the recievers are expected to run routes at 6 inches off the ground to make up for mcnabb's throws?
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I'm talking about that one play.
The ball wasn’t high, Curtis’s feet were grabbed by the DB so he was knocked to his knees.
There is no evidence that his feet were grabbed
On both replays

by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 18, 2009 3:22 PM PST up reply actions
What?
The WCO is completely timing based. You throw to a spot. Curtis went to his knees so he wouldn’t over run the throw
NEEDS MORE FREEDOM!
by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 18, 2009 3:20 PM PST up reply actions
sort of not true
the receiver will make judgements mid-route depending on the coverage.
i remember this very well from an article SI ran about 15 years ago when San Fran’s WCO was carving up the league. It had big pics of game action with multiple arrows showing how receivers/backs etc. would change routes on the fly as coverage differed.
Curtis could possibly have adjusted to two or three different routes based on what the CB was doing. CB plays inside, he goes to an out or hitch out… outside and he slants in.
But not all routes are option routes
Anyway unless we can get a decent replay we won’t be able to really tell if there was PI or not.

by Scruffy Lefty on Jan 18, 2009 3:27 PM PST up reply actions
Pretty sure the WCO has defined routes
You don’t get to just make up whatever you want and slap WCO in front of it
McNabb's been throwing like crap that whole drive but Curtis should've had that one.

I agree with Brett.
hate to say it, but I’m rooting for the fucking STEALERS.
They’re in a better position to bea tthe Cards in the super bowl.
even better, the Ravens win.
I’d rather watch bowling than a Cards/Ravens superbowl.
At least I won't be as angry if the Cards win that way.

Not original, and not even true. At least wait until WINNING the superbowl.
They're the NFC Champions
and if that doesn’t seep into your brain and give you an aneurism 10 years from now I don’t know what will.
We going to have another thread for the Ravens/Steelers game?
I don’t want to look at this shit anymore.
Go not Cardinals!
Seriously, I’m not sure I want to watch the Super bowl anymore….
