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 [...]

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 Greater [...]

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, [...]

Pittsburgh 17, Arizona 7 (H) GRRRRR that INT by Warner.  I would have loved to have seen a 14-10 Arizona lead at the half, but alas, that was not to be.  Hopfully the Cardinals’ D can step it up a bit more and the offense can be more productive.  Despite the fact that I was [...]

For the 3rd week in the row, a Cardinal graces the cover of Sports Illustrated.  This week, Kurt Warner with the caption “NFC Champs Flying High: The Cardinals soar out of the west to challenge the Steelers.” What was surprising about this issue, at least to me, is that, on p. 35, Jim Trotter picks [...]

Week 15 Pre Game Report – Vikings (8-5) at Cardinals (8-5)

The Cardinals, fresh off their division-clinching victory against the Rams last week host the playoff-hopeful Vikings on Sunday. Minnesota has historically had a decent run defense, which shouldn’t be a problem for the Cardinals’ offense and the “Warner Machine” (name courtesy of nfl.com).  The offense has put up 28.6 points per game this season, and Kurt [...]

What is up with Thanksgiving Day games this year?  All 3 were horribly one-sided.  Although one would expect that with Detroit and Seattle, I was looking forward to a really exciting night game vs. Philly. Then I remembered that it was on the east coast…where NO west coast team (including Arizona) can win this year [...]

Cardinals 29, Giants 37 Yeah, 29…odd score….botched PAT.  However, Neil Rackers managed a very respectable 11 points and an interesting 67-yd attempt free kick (unusual…and failed.) Dang, where to start.  Despite being home, Kurt Warner looked off.  he just didn’t have his usual pocket presence and uber-commanding zing on the ball (perhaps the Giants’ D [...]

Playing with the big boys now – Week 12 Pre Game Report

Giants (9-1) @ Cardinals (7-3) I’m going to forego the NFL Network-type analysis for a good-ole highly opinionated blog.  I don’t care if the Giants have only lost one game.  I don’t care that the Giants “shredded” the Ravens’ defense last week.  And I really don’t care about Eli Manning.  What I do care about [...]

Week 11 Pre-Game Report – Cardinals (6-3) @ Seahawks (2-7)

Last time these teams met (week 14 last season), Matt Hasselbeck had a fabulous day with 272 yds and 4 TDs as Seattle beat Arizona 42-21.  But that was last year.  Hasselbeck is coming off a back injury and Kurt Warner is having a Pro Bowl/MVP season, while the Cardinals lead the league in points [...]
