PrintThis is an open thread for Monday Night Football. The Cardinals and the 49ers play for your sporting entertainment.
Today, and for the next few days, I have a big work project that I have to get done so I won't be posting as often. Hopefully, Brandon and Tuna Helper will pick up the slack and you guys can help too by putting up some FanPosts whenever you see news or just have something to discuss.
I didn't even have time to write-up Wade Phillips' press conference today. Not much news from today, we still haven't decided who will hold on kicks yet. Wade also noted that Orlando Scandrick will continue to be the nickel corner and play in the slot.
Also, Felix Jones didn't practice but he says he'll be ready to go on Wednesday. The other guys practiced who are coming off of injury.
Felix Jones, who hasn't practiced since injuring his left hamstring Oct. 12 against Arizona, did not return for Monday morning's workout, instead rehabbing with trainers off to the side. Tony Romo (finger), Kyle Kosier (foot) and Terence Newman (abdomen) all practiced, and Jones said he expects to be back to work Wednesday after an off-day Tuesday.
"Yea," Jones said. "I'll be out there (Wednesday). They told me to get my rest. This was something that needed to get totally healed before I get back on the field, otherwise we could have more problems with it. I listened to it and I think I'm feeling really good and I'll be ready to play this coming Sunday."
Romo supposedly was throwing the ball with zip.
Wade Phillips said Tony Romo was throwing passes with velocity during Monday's practice, which must have been a welcomed sight after three weeks of Brad Johnson taking the first-team reps, and a limited Romo throwing last week. Romo practiced with a splint to guard the fifth finger on his throwing hand, which he fractured in the overtime loss at Arizona on Oct. 12.
We may catch a break as Clinton Portis is banged-up and is 50-50 to play.
Hat tip to Mullin for posting the news.

MNF is a joke now.....
The Sunday Night games are so much better
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
I would love to see a rematch against Arizona
in the wild-card game. Yeah they beat us, but we will be on a roll going into the playoffs and Arizona, well they are Arizona. (We have to be on a roll to make the playoffs). I think playing at Arizona will be better than playing at either Chicago or Carolina. Thoughts?
I said right after the Cards loss that we would play them in the Wild Card round.
If I had the choice though I think I would rather play the Bears because of their weaker offense.

Chicago has a goo good run "d"
Plus weather would be a factor. Rex doesn’t scare anybody, but Orton is consistant. Either way we just have to get in!
ARE YOU SERIOUS????
singletary is an absolute joke and Jawz trying to defend him is even more pathetic…
Jindal '12
Same way the Eagles lost yesterday.
Why dont people trust their QB’s?

I am no Philly phan but
McNabb is a heck of a good QB, especially when you consider who he’s thrown to over the years. My biggest complaint with him is the same I have with TO – he plays with his ego on his sleeve. I know he puts up with a lot of hate, but every QB does. McNabb just doesn’t handle it well.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.
obviously i didn't mean it....entirely anyway
McNabb is a very OK quarterback. However, he will NEVER again be the same QB that appeared on the Madden cover (which explains a lot of it). All he has to do is turn around and hand the ball to #36, but he proved against us that he’s incapable of that. Matt Moseley had a good stat from that game. On third downs, Eli was amazing, rating of about 120. McNabb, on the other hand, abismal, with a rating of between 20-30 (can’t remember offhand). McNabb is the fourth best QB in our division. At least he beats our Brooksy and BJ

Are you kidding?? What beats a BJ??
Wait, I misread that. My bad.
