GAME THREAD - Ravens/Cardinals - Bird v. Bird

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:27 PM

Ivy is starting, but they are blitzing him a lot.

1st, Leinart under a ton of pressure, throws it behind his man.
2nd, 37s left, from the 34, complete to Boldin for 5-6. Arizona takes their last TO.

**darb72** · 09-23-2007, 01:29 PM

Ivy is the starting CB, UK. He's playing pretty well to and has a sack.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:29 PM

3rd and 5, 26s left, Boldin DROPS the slant pass!

23 seconds left, and they'll bring Rackers on to try to salvage some points.

47 yard try. WIDE RIGHT! That's what I'm talkin about!!!

**darb72** · 09-23-2007, 01:30 PM

And Rackers misses wide right. Hmmm.... 18 seconds left and McNair takes a knee. Halftime.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:30 PM

Kneel down ends it. Gotta love a 17 point halftime lead!

Ta moochly for the update on starting corner guys, nice to hear he's doing alright, interesting to see him playing OK as a starter, he's stunk on the outside at any of his previous NFL stops.

**StingerNLG** · 09-23-2007, 01:37 PM

Halftime. Stadium vibe is excellent. Happyness is not a problem.

McGahee is the real deal. So is LeRon McClean. McNair is looking great.

Defense, shut down. Even Cory Ivy is doing an adequate job defending Bolden.

NOW, none of this conservative gameplan bullshit. Step on these guy's throats and let's put the big hurt on them. Make them wish they never had to play us again.

**phatboy** · 09-23-2007, 01:39 PM

UK, Devard Darling jumped into the stands as well thus the penalty. Two stupid penalties for Devard today on ST he may be cut on Monday

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:46 PM

1st from the 25, PA, dump to Shipp for 9.
2nd and 1, up the middle for 1. First.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:48 PM

1st from the 35, give to Edge for MAYBE one if he's lucky.
2nd, complete to Boldin, gain of 9, one yard short of the sticks.
3rd and 1, give to Edge who just pushes past, and a first down.

**darb72** · 09-23-2007, 01:48 PM

I don't think he will be. Two players jumping into the stands is a really stupid penalty to enforce because it's not delaying the game or showing the other team up.

That delay of game penalty on Williams was pretty stupid as well. He didn't spike the ball.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:50 PM

1st from the 46, incomplete for Fitz, Ivy on the close coverage. Nice play by him.
2nd, draw to Arrington gets 3.
3rd and 7, Barnes gets GREAT pressure straight up the middle and forces Leinart to throw it WAY short of his man. Incomplete.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:51 PM

Arrington rolls into the endzone, and it might have been on the 1 or 2 if he left it alone. Thank goodness he screwed it up.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:54 PM

1st down, I form give to Willis who cuts back for 2.
2nd and 8, play action, and pass is batted up, luckily falls incomplete.
3rd and 8, complete to Mason to the 40 and a first. Nice comeback route.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:56 PM

1st, delayed handoff to Willis who makes an absolutely brilliant cut to get 8 or 9. Very quick!
2nd and 1, I form, Willis again for 2-3 off tackle and a first.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:57 PM

1st from midfield, PA, McNair fumbles, and the Cardinals recover it. McNair needs to PROTECT THE DAMN BALL WHEN HE HAS PRESSURE LIKE THAT! SHIT!

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 01:59 PM

1st down Cards from the 35, give to Edge for 3.
2nd and 7, Leinart getting a ton of pressure, complete to Arrington for 2.
3rd and 5, blitz comes, thrown behind Fitzgerald, and a late flag comes in. Illegal contact on C-Mac.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:02 PM

1st from the 25, give to Edge for 3.
2nd and 7, short throw to Boldin, immediately put down by JJ and Ivy. No gain.
3rd and 7, Barnes goes unblocked, and Leinart goes over the top for Arrington, incomplete.

Rackers comes back on. 40 yard try. Right down the middle. 20-6 Ravens.

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:05 PM

ONSIDE KICK...and the Cards recover. Ugh!

**Sephy** · 09-23-2007, 02:09 PM

Warner is back in.

1st from the 45, Warner's pass complete to Fitz, who gets down inside the 30, fumbles, Ivy picks it back up and runs it far back. Officials debating.

CLEAR FUMBLE. But down by contact. OK, we get the ball
