I wish I would have made it public that the Cards had a good chance. I would have still put my money on the Eagles without a spread, but I was not at all shocked or surprised.
Everyone was saying how the Eagles were the Giants of last year. But the Cardinals remind me of the Colts of their Superbowl year. Good offense throughout the year, mostly passing. But, the defense and running game showed up in the playoffs. In football it's all about what you have done lately. Most were giving the Cards' opponents all the credit for the defense (Delhomme did make some horrible passes). The Colts were a little stronger throughout that season than the Cards have been this one, but...
I would not have been disappointed if the Eagles had won. McNabb and Reid are both competent in their professions and took too much grief this year. I would have liked to have seen them get in this time. But Philly fans are stupid and do not deserve to win. Only downside of the Rays' season is they let the Phillies win to give some undeserved relief to the nations worst sports fans. Well, they do turn out for games, I guess...
I hope Reid gets a NutriSystem deal or he 's going to be dead soon.
Oh yeah, and how bout the Bucs move? I told my wife it sort of feels like a couple close to you split up. You knew it was coming, sooner or later (like most I thought he would get one more year), and maybe it is best, but still kind of sad.
He's still the guy that got us a Super Bowl win. I'll love him forever for that. Even if it was with Dungy's team. And that's where he failed, in building his own team.
I hope Raheem will return focus to the D. Gruden never delivered the offense and our defense needs a pass rush.
