Hell, I’ve been enjoying the game, but I liked the halftime show so much, I wouldn’t have even been sad if they called the game off and let the concert continue. 😉 ---

He could have come up with something better than “Hail Mary.” ---

I wonder if **dalej42** has stopped kicking his dog yet. ---

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that there is some really sloppy open-field tackling going on from both sides? ---

What a bullshit call. They have to reverse that. ---

of course he has, Arizona gets the ball back at the first of the half. They can get a score to pull them in to 3 points. The question is, can I get the wife to quit asking me question and go the hell upstairs? I mean in a way for me to avoid the dog house. Oh wait, another AZ turnover maybe he IS kicking his dog. I hope he is a better person than that and just punching holes in his walls and destroying furniture. I dislike people who hurt dogs. ---

Wow. That’s the first I’ve heard about that rule change on replay challenges. I had no idea. It’s a good rule. ---

> [@dalej42](#): > > No. I’m happy that we’re here. I’ve got my friends here. We did this together. Good! many times people take this crap way to seriously. Arizona D is playing well. With a half left who knows! Arizona made it and that is impressive. With Whiz coaching they are going to be in the mix for a good long time. _crossing fingers_ ---

Well, _that_ penalty was a shit call. Should have been grounding, anyway. ---

It’s not grounding if the ball makes it back to the line of scrimmage; it was a cheap call though. ---

Agreed. No call either way would have been acceptable, but not against the Cards. ---

The Steelers are trying to sucker the Cards with the short passes to Holmes; if Rodgers-Cromartie plays up on him I guarantee they go deep. ETA: Wow, stupid penalty by Wilson. ---
