Carolina-Arizona Last night

[SEIndSAM]

Did anyone else think that Carolina going for the 2 point conversion after the TD that put them up 44-15 was classless???

I will definitely be rooting for Denver during the Super Bowl....

Not at all. At this point of the playoffs you shouldn't have any mercy to spare. This is where the money is.

I didn't understand why Arizona went for 2 on the TD before that. Either way the would still need 3 more TD's for the win. It didn't really help them.

Carolina just did it because AZ did it, I'm guessing.

A lot of people have been ragging on Carolina for being conservative and letting up in the 2nd half. Perhaps they decided that it was time to let folks know they could hammer down. And let's not forget, this isn't little league baseball with a mercy rule - these are grown men who have one task, win the game. From what I saw of the game, they might have been dominating, but they weren't classless like the Bengals were in their game.

The only "classless" actions I saw, on just about every team, was the stupid dance moves every time a player did something correct.

Carolina simply ran over the Cardinals. Nothing wrong with making a statement with your gameplay.

Wait, do you mean to tell me that the Cards and Patriots won't be getting participation trophies?? What about their self esteem??

I might have a small issue with it had it been early in the season but with this being their last opportunity to run plays against a real (if you can call it that ) defense before the Superbowl I don't blame them for taking advantage of the situation.

 

[packard]

I agree with Phylodog. A great opportunity to get in a practice play against a top rated team.

The game was over before Arizona's third play. It was all practice after that.

Prepare to be disappointed.

...and the opportunity to "practice" a 2 pt. conversion against a real defense which may be necessary in a later game? Not classless. If the Cardinals thought it was (don't know if they did or not), they need to put on their big boy pants....or make the game less than a 5 TD difference.

How'd that work for the Colts?

About the same as for the Pats and Cards I reckon. Life is hard. Wear a helmet.

Did cam play the entire game?

No, they pulled him very late in the game.

I think Brady is on pretty safe ground in that respect

 

[BugI02]

Couldn't have been the call from vegas. The over/under was 47 and the spread was 4.

Right. There's maybe one or two people in his caliber in the league and he lost to one of them. That must sting.....

Ron Rivera came from the Buddy Ryan school of blood smelling sharks.
Let the sharks go on a feeding frenzy and they'll eat until out of food. Keep the frenzy fed.

Why did you quote my post? I wasn't talking about Brady or the Patriots/Broncos game.

Classless? Since when is the effort to win considered classless?
If the other team didn't like it then they should stop them from scoring. Otherwise the object of the game to to score more than your opponents. And in the case of Carolina, they have given up huge leads all season. They may have needed that extra one point.
