Arizona Cardinals’ Twitter asks Tampa Bay Buccaneers to ‘use the force’ vs. SaintsBy Bryan Rose - Dec 28th, 2013 at 3:28 pmOct 17, 2013; Phoenix, AZ, USA; Detailed view of Arizona Cardinals helmets on the team bench against the Seattle Seahawks at University of Phoenix Stadium. Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports For a brief moment in Week 16, the Arizona Cardinals thought they’d control their own playoff destiny. Had the Atlanta Falcons beaten the San Francisco 49ers on Monday evening, Arizona would have hosted the Niners in Week 17 with the winner moving on to the postseason. Things looked good for Arizona until an interception in the final minutes secured a victory for San Francisco, allowing them to clinch a postseason birth. That has left the Cardinals rooting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who must beat the New Orleans Saints this weekend for Arizona to potentially make the postseason. Knowing this, the Cardinals’ Twitter account pleaded with the Saints for help – channeling their inner Star Wars, asking them to ‘use the force‘: Help us @TBBuccaneers, you’re our only hope. #UseTheForce# TB vs NO A loss by the Saints to the Bucs and a victory by the Cardinals over the 49ers would put Arizona in the playoffs (and three NFC West teams), but they’re certainly going to need the dominoes to fall correctly for such a scenario to unfold. http://fansided.com/2013/12/28/arizona-cardinals-twitter-asks-tampa-bay-buccaneers-use-force-vs-saints/
I predict ref help.
It would be a bitch if they win 11 games and don't make the postseason.
What would be really funny is if the Bucs pull off the upset but the Cards lose to San Francisco.
Weird thing is, that crap roughing call on Clayborn in week 2 has turned into a complete butterfly effect on the current NFC playoff picture.
Not in the article, but @Bucs reponse:
Cards have a nice team, and I don't think anyone would want to face them in the playoffs, as hot as they are right now. What would our season have looked like now, with Carson Palmer at QB from game 1, and Freeman gone before the season?
Sorry Cardinal fans. You should have known better than to put your hopes in this ragtag bunch.
Instead of using the force the Buccaneers used the Schiano.
They lost anyway.Losers.
That Bucs/Saints game was unwatchable IMO.The Cheifs/Chargers game? Now that was a football game.
They lost anyway.Losers.
That was a pretty good game too. Palmer had a hell of a game, brought them back to tie it, then they lost on a last second field goal. They had more fight in them than our bunch.

Well no doubt the Bucs are bigger losers, obviously.

I have a few Seahawks and Niners friends. And they did NOT want to see the Cards in the playoffs.
