In Honor of Pat Tillman | Woy's Arizona Cardinals (ESPN NFL 2K5)

[G-men]

Yes they did, thanks for checking in.



I love bumps for awesomeness. :tongue: I got Seattle next week and Hasselbeck is beasting, so it might be tough.

Updates for this should return Monday after work.

well when in doubt, aim for his head when tackling. 300 pound defensive lineman could really hurt the guy if used properly.

[Woy]

Update possibly tonight after I get off of work.

[Apocalypse]

Yeah please, i just read through the whole thing, and lol at Harrington leading the league in INTs, he deserves it haha..

Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin (92 catches, 1649 yards, 12 TD) vs. Seahawks WR Koren Robinson (50 catches, 895 yards, 8 TD)

Prediction

After a hard-luck loss to divison rival St. Louis, Arizona gets to take on another division foe in Seattle. These two teams matched up in week seven, with the Cardinals squad winning 24-16. However, this game is in Seattle and it's calling for rain. Rain and the 12th man definitely push the advantage in the Seahawks' favor. Drew Henson will try to keep the Cardinals from losing two straight for the first time all year, but in the end, Matt Hasselbeck will make more plays.

Seahawks 21, Cardinals 20

CARDINALS STRUGGLE IN RAIN; LOSE GAME AND NFC WEST LEAD


Dexter Jackson jumps a Matt Hasselbeck pass in the first quarter. He returned it 25 yards for a touchdown in the Cardinals loss.

THIRD QUARTER

FOURTH QUARTER

SEATTLE, WA (AP) - With pouring rains in Seattle, fans knew that it would be a struggle to throw the ball. And with both starting quarterbacks completing under half their passes, that theory looked like it was proven true. However, Matt Hasselbeck went on a surge after the first quarter, throwing three touchdowns in the Seahawks 31-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Three three-and-outs led to the first big play of the game, when Drew Henson found Anquan Boldin on a fade for 85 yards and a score. However, Hasselbeck's boys struck back with a 74 yard pass to Darrell Jackson to get down to the Arizona five yard line. Shaun Alexander punched it in from there, tying the game. A promising Arizona drive ended in a punt, but then Hasselbeck made his only major mistake of the game. He dropped back to pass, looking for Darrell Jackson, but instead he found the wrong Jackson in Dexter. Dexter took his seventh interception to the house to give the Cardinals their last lead of the game.

Hasselbeck found Darrell Jackson for a 45 yard score in the second quarter, Itula Mili for a 17 yard touchdown in the third quarter and Koren Robinson for a 29 yard trip to paydirt in the fourth. Josh Brown kicked a 38 yard field goal late to put the game away. Arizona drops to 11-4 and will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week in a possible playoff preview.

Dang Ethan. Nice update as usual though. :applause:

Yeah I've been really struggling of late. Hopefully this won't come back to bite me in the ass for playoffs.

Nice presentation and nice pictures.

Thanks Saints. The pictures could be clearer though, my cell doesn't have the greatest camera.

its weird but yesterday i found a whole bunch of Never Forget #40 wrist band the Pat Tillman foundation sent me a few years ago. I started to wear one again to keep his memory alive

Glad to see new followers. And that's awesome man, I got his jersey so I'll wear that once in a while to remember him. :applause:

I'll try to finish the regular season today.

Buccaneers WR Joey Galloway (50 catches, 654 yards, 3 TD) vs. Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin (96 catches, 1773 yards, 13 TD)

Prediction

A big game for both teams. The Buccaneers need a win here and a Falcons loss to win the NFC South and take a playoff spot. The Cardinals need a win and a Seahawks loss to win the NFC West, otherwise they'll be a Wild Card team. Arizona has been struggling of late and Tampa Bay should take advantage. Should. Drew Henson will find a way to lead his team to victory and knock Tampa Bay out of playoff contention.

Cardinals 17, Buccaneers 14

GLENDALE, AZ (AP) - The best teams come playoff time go into the post-season riding a win streak. Uh-oh. The Arizona Cardinals dropped their third straight game, falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 14-33. The score is a little misleading however, as Drew Henson and other starters sat after the first half. Arizona got on the board with their first drive, but it started off poorly as Chad Bratzke sacked Henson on the first play. Bratzke had three sacks on the day, and teammate Simeon Rice had four, as the Cardinals offensive line had a terrible showing. Henson found Bryant Johnson for four yards, then ran it himself for 10 and a first down. Emmitt Smith got a carry for three yards, then the NFL's leader in receptions and receiving yards got into the act with two catches of 18 and 39 yards. Henson then found Johnson again on an out route for 10 yards and a touchdown. In limited time, Henson threw for 145 yards on 13 completions and that score.

Tampa Bay came back with a long 15 play drive. However, the drive stalled and Martin Gramatica had to boot in a field goal. In the second quarter, the Buccaneers had a nine play drive that ended in a nine yard Brad Johnson touchdown pass to Keenan McCardell, which effectively, ended the game. The Buccaneers got 10 more points before halftime and even though Emmitt Smith had a 38 yard touchdown run in the third, Tampa had 13 more unanswered points to end the game.

Arizona will enter the playoffs as the NFC's five seed and will play...guess who? The same Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are the four seed after jumping over the Atlanta Falcons to win the NFC South.
