What a comeback….

Cardinals 31, Seahawks 20
After a horrid start and a slue of booing by the hometown crowd, the Cardinals managed to pull out a win to keep them atop the NFC West.  My ex-husband has Cardinals’ season tickets and said he’s received his postseason invoice for playoff tickets already…kind of premature, don’t ya think?!
Anyway, Warner, Fitz, [...]

Cardinals 21, Carolina 34
Holy hot-and-cold-play Batman, what is up with the Cardinals?  They beat the New York Giants and the next week look horrendous vs. the Panthers.  Kurt Warner threw 5 INTs and fumbled the ball once!????  How incredibly unlike him.  And Larry Fitzgerald dropped a few passes he would normally have caught.  The defense was atrocious [...]

…the Cardinals best the formerly-undefeated-but-now-who-have-lost-2-in-a-row Giants in the Meadowlands!
Cardinals 24, Giants 17
It appears that Arizona finally found their running game despite the fumble problems both Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells continue to have.  In fact, all 3 TDs tonight were by RBs (the third was a pass by Kurt Warner to Jason Wright.  Larry Fitzgerald uncharacteristically [...]

Cardinals 28, Texans 21
Sorry folks, I know this is late but I’ve had tons of “real” work to do lately.
Anyway, I was at the game and have never seen so many Houston Texan fans in one place in my life. There were more at University of Phoenix Stadium than I think I’ve ever seen at [...]

Cardinals 10, Colts 31
What happened to the defending NFC Champs last night?  The Colts were without several defensive starters yet the Cardinals were unable to capitalize on anything and were, quite simply, atrocious.
I know Kurt Warner (30/52, 1 TD, 2 INTs) is nursing a sore shoulder but he has been all season and looked great last [...]

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, [...]

Well, I have to say I’m certainly not disappointed with either of my fantasy teams this season (unlike last season where I went through as many RBs as did Denver.)
Of the Cardinals I was lucky enough to pick up:
Team 1:
Kurt Warner, Steve Breaston, Karlos Dansby, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie
Team 2:
Anquan Boldin, Tim Hightower, Neil Rackers, Cardinals DST
Here’s [...]

Cardinals’ linebackers coach Bill Davis has been promoted to defensive coordinator after the firing of former coordinator Clancy Pendergast earlier this month.
Seth Wickersham of ESPN the Magazine wrote a great article last week about the goings-on in Arizona. You can read the entire article at http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=3894167. Among his insights:
Warner, the prince of [...]

The Cardinals are winners to all of their fans, Pittsburgh continues to play dirty, and the referees blow a critical game again…

Pittsburgh 27, Arizona 23
Again, horrible officiating determines the outcome of an important game.  Arizona played beyond well-enough to win the game on both sides of the ball, yet the game goes to Pittsburgh because why would anyone want the Cardinals to beat the mighty Squealers, err Steelers?!
Kurt Warner had another spectacular outing, 31/43, 377 yds, [...]
