What Happened?

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, [...]

Chargers @ Cardinals, preseason week 2

Chargers 17, Cardinals 6
Despite the score, which didn’t reflect the quality of the Cardinals’ defense, it was a fun game.  Anquan Boldin, the perpetually-underrated Leonard Pope, and Tim Hightower looked fabulous.  The 2nd string QB battle, to me, is still up the air.  Stat-wise, Brian St. Pierre and Matt Leinart were similar save for the INT by St. Pierre [...]

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, [...]

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 10
Wow, that word hasn’t been uttered since 1975 - the last time the Cardinals clinched their division.  In fact, they haven’t even been to the playoffs since 1998.  But after today’s explosive performance - on both sides of the ball - the Arizona Cardinals are officially the NFC West Division CHAMPS!  Congrats [...]

Still in 1st Place (and already nearly a lock for the division title) - Week 9 Post Game Report

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 [...]

Ugly Ugly Shootout - Week 4 Post Game Report

Cardinals 35, Jets 56
Holy old-QBs’-arms Batman…Brett Favre tossed 6 TDs (3 to Lavernaeus Coles) while Kurt Warner (after a really horrific start) came back with 2 in what looked very early to be a complete rout of the Cardinals.  Warner uncharacteristically fumbled 4 times (losing 3 of them) and tossed 3 INTs before he finally came alive in the [...]

Week 3 Pre Game Report - Cardinals @ Redskins

September 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment

The last meeting of these two teams, last season, resulted in a narrow margin of victory for Washington as Neil Rackers missed a 55-yd FG attempt as time expired, giving the Skins a 21-19 win.  Washington has won 8 of the last 9 meetings as well, and also leads the historic series 72-44-2.
But they haven’t [...]

Cardinals atop the division

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 [...]
