Remember when the Green Bay Packers went down to Arizona to play the Cardinals and then shit the bed, rolled around that shit a little bit and then went back home?
I do. I was at that fucking debacle and I am still awaiting my reimbursement check from 1265 Lombardi Ave. to arrive.
The Packers lost 38-8.
The game was over when Aaron Rodgers decided to toss a second-quarter red zone interception after Mike Daniels picked off Carson Palmer a few moments earlier. Instead of the score being 10-7 or 10-3, as it would have been if the Packers had just settled for a field goal there, it quickly became 17-0.
The Cardinals took that gift from Rodgers and drove the field for a touchdown just before the half to make that the halftime tally.
Well, that game could have gone either way!
That’s what Cardinals’ coach Bruce Arians was trying to sell to the Wisconsin media this week.
“That was a game where the ball bounced our way a couple times,” Arians said.
“For most of the game, it could have gone either way.”
For most of the game?
No.
It have gone either way for about two quarters. After that, it was a goddam shit show.
The Packers and their dog shit offensive line couldn’t protect Rodgers, who was sacked eight times (of nine sacks overall). That resulted in zero offensive rhythm or production, as you can see by the pathetic eight points the Packers put up.
The last two Cardinals’ touchdowns were on fumble returns.
So Arians can jam that assessment up his ass.
Clearly, he doesn’t want his team drinking their own Kool-Aid. They’re favored over the Packers, they beat the ever-loving shit out of the Packers once already in the past month and most people have Arizona as their Super Bowl favorites.
So let’s pump the brakes on that hype train.
We get it, but let’s pretend not everyone is total and complete moron, eh Bruce?
