Cardinals' playoff game offensive...

I assume most of my readers got a kick out of Sunday's wild card game.

Chances are most sports fans stayed put on the sofa. They certainly didn't have a lot of time to make a beer run. Over a thousand yards of total offense between the teams as the Arizona Cardinals roared into the next round of the playoffs with a wild 51-45 win over the visiting Green Bay Packers at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

Seventy-five passes thrown. Thirteen touchdowns scored. Wow! The game was offensive! Not a heck of a lot of defense, until the very last play in overtime when the Cardinals' Karlos Dansby grabbed a loose ball away from the hands of Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers and raced 17 yards for the winning score. Doubly entertaining for the Arizona fans, but devastating to the thousands of Green Bay fans who were in attendance.

And now it is on to New Orleans and a Saturday afternoon encounter with the New Orleans Saints. Let's hope it is a clear day and Curt Warner can once again cloud the airways with plenty of passes...and plenty of touchdowns.
