Barely past the halfway point of the season, the mention of the playoffs seems to be a universal trend for teams in positions to make the postseason.  Obviously, New England, Dallas, Green Bay, and Indianapolis are oft-referred teams who seem perfectly poised to earn a playoff berth.  Which leads to a discussion of whether teams with [...]

Ever seen an 85-yd FG??
Well, I have.  During Cardinals training camp in Flagstaff, AZ (elevation 7000 feet - take THAT Jason Elam!) I had the pleasure of watching Neil Rackers kick several 70+ yarders.  Amazing!

2 INTs by [...]

At 5-5, Arizona has its best after-10-game-record since 1998, and is looking for its first 3-game winning streak since late 2002.  Next up for the resurgent Cardinals is division rival San Francisco, currently 2-8, who defeated the Cardinals week one this season.
Arizona hopes that revenge will, in fact, be sweet, particularly since the 49ers have suffered [...]
