My fearless prediction: if the Cardinals score a touchdown on the upcoming drive, they win this game. Any other result equals Packers win. ---

The question is: can you be a caricature of the caricature of you? 😃 We need a stop. Sooner or later, they’re gonna stop us. ETA: Is it just me, or is Hawk looking REALLY slow this game?? ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > Is it possible to be a caricature of yourself? Hee. I typed the same thing, then deleted it. What’s the point? Anyway, as a Giants fan I don’t care who wins this thing. But I’m really glad to see an actual football game here. Neither of these teams is going to beat the Vikings or the Saints, though, I don’t think. ---

Saints, yes. They aren’t that good. Vikings? No. Not without stepping up the Defense. ---

Neither of these teams have the defense to go all the way, that’s for sure. ---

But it’s a hell of an entertaining game which is what I’ve been waiting for all weekend! ---

Warner is throwing darts out there and his WRs are bringing in everything. I’m not sure if they are just that crisp or if the coaches are calling a perfect game. ---

Beginning to remind me of a playoff game way back when between Miami and I think the Chargers? [del]If[/del] When the Packers tie this up, it will be 45-45 :eek: ---

I mean, both quarterbacks are playing very well, but it sure helps that there is just no pass coverage at all. ---
