Cardinals 31, Jaguars 17
What a fabulous showing by the Cardinals in Jacksonville!  Kurt Warner was almost perfect, throwing 24/26 for 243 yds and 2 TDs - setting an NFL completion percentage record of 92.3% (previously held by Vinny Testaverde in 1993)- before being replaced by Matt Leinart in the 4th quarter who didn’t get much of anything [...]

Arizona 16, San Francisco 20
OK, I know that Steve Breaston, Kurt Warner, and Anquan Boldin were not 100% but, come on, this was the 49ers.  Apparently, Mike Singletary was able to whip that team into shape in the offseason.  San Fran looked scary good (or did the Cardinals’ defense just not look up to snuff?!)  Also, [...]

WTG Arizona Cardinals….2008 NFC CHAMPIONS!!!!  Once they beat Atlanta and shut down Michael Turner, I knew that there’d be no stopping them, especially against the chronically overrated Donovan McNabb.
What a game by Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals’ D!!!  After a scary 3rd quarter, the defense stepped it up again and put the icing on the [...]

Cardinals 34, Rams 13
Well, it appears the upstart Rams have stalled much like earlier in the year, thanks to stellar performances by Tim Hightower, Kurt Warner, Jerheme Urban, Anquan Boldin, and the DST.
Hightower, starting in place of Edgerrin James managed 22 carries for 109 yds and a TD, and I was very warmed to see [...]

Dallas LOSES!!! Week 6 Post Game Report

Arizona 24, Dallas 21 (OT)
What a game, whew!!! 
A game that started and ended with big plays by the DST to give both teams 4-2 records.
J.J. Arrington’s 93-yd kick return for a TD started the game, and Monty Beisel’s 3-yd TD after Sean Morey’s blocked punt won it in overtime; which, by the way, was the [...]

Week 3 Pre Game Report - Cardinals @ Jets

Posted by cardinal_chick

September 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Sunday will mark the starting of the old timers….Brett Favre and Kurt Warner have 75 years between them and 4 Super Bowl appearances.  Unfortunately for the Jets (and fortunately for Arizona), Favre is still getting used to NY’s playbook and has not looked like the Favre of eons past while Warner is on fire.
From a WR [...]

3-0?? No. Week 3 Post Game Report

Cardinals 17, Redskins 24
As is usually the case, the game boiled down to turnovers.  While Washington took the ball away twice - and scored 10 points as a result - the Cardinals D failed to manage a single one.
The officiating was suspect, but lately, what else is new?  On a 4th-and-1 in the 1st quarter, [...]

Cardinals 23, 49ers 13
Yeah, I know it’s only week 1, but with losses by San Fran, Seattle, and St. Louis, the Cardinals have bragging rights, at least for this week.
The key stat for this game is turnovers. While San Fran committed 6, Arizona had none. Now add on the steady performance of Kurt Warner, who [...]

Bertrand Berry is back on the field; hoping the 4th time will be a charm.  We all remember his torn triceps midway through last season, the 3rd season-ending injury in as many years.  Proving that he wants to play, as well as wanting to complete a season, he took a pay cut from $4 million [...]

The Cardinals were able to restructure Bertrand Berry’s final season under his current contract to help alleviate some salary cap issues.  Much of his salary was converted to incentives, particularly due to the fact that Berry has missed the 2nd half of the past 3 seasons due to injuries.  Both Cardinals’ staff and Berry are [...]
