Warner's last game? or Nuke's suicide watch thread

[Tailback U]

Nuk,

Assuming Kurt Warner and the Cards hold on and defeat the Packers today, how big would next weeks game against Drew Brees and the Saints be to you? Would it be up there with Warner's Super Bowl win?

And if the Cardinals do beat the Saints and go on to beat the Vikings/Cowboys and the Super Bowl, even if they lose, would this be the best season you've ever experienced as an NFL...er, Kurt Warner fan?

I mean really, you must be a happy man right now. When the Rams were breaking records and competing for Super Bowls there is no way in a million years you thought you'd get the chance to see Kurt Warner in his prime in ten years.

he probably wouldn't be able to respond if they did, because he said he'd leave VSN forever if the Cards beat GB, or Fitz gets 100+ yards (even in a loss)

It's the match up I was hoping for, not only because I get to see Drew Brees go 1 and 8, but I honestly don't think New Orleans will keep this game as close as people think. I feared two teams in the NFC, and Arizona beat one of them a few minutes ago. The other, Dallas, should be meeting up with us in the NFC title game.

As a Rams fan, the two superbowls should be the best moments, but seeing Warner bounce back after the injuries that should have ended his career, to prove his doubters wrong, rank right up there. I'm hoping for one more superbowl, win or loss - because just seeing him play - Those are my favorite moments as a sports fan.

As much as I bash Arizona, I'm fucking loving this right now. Upcoming youngsters, continue to run into the same problem every year - an aging grocery store clerk, who continues to play the game on an MVP level.

Yeah, I made the mistake of actually thinking that the Eagles had a chance against the Cowboys. Should have known better since Romo has been playing lights out the second half of the season and McNabb has been steadily declining.

Every year, I learn just how much of a difference there is between an experienced Hall of Fame QB and a great regular season QB who hasn't quite gotten there yet. That's why I can't pick the Cowboys over the Vikings next week. I think Favre is going to play out of his mind, much like Warner did tonight.

As for the Cards/Saints, I'm with you. I feel comfortable predicting the Cards by 7-10. But look how Warner played today and his team still almost blew it for him, so anything can happen.

It's going to be depressing watching Leinart on the field and the Cardinals stumbling to a 6-10 record next season.

6-10?

You're showing way too much faith in that shitty football team.

I'm thinking more like 4-12, max.
