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, [...]

Cardinals get the SI hat trick

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 [...]

Cardinals 34, Seahawks 21
The Cardinals had an impressive showing against Seattle this afternoon; but will it be enough to beat the hot Atlanta Falcons next week in the first round of the divisional playoffs?
Kurt Warner tossed 4 TDs, 2 of them to Larry Fitzgerald, one to Jerheme Urban and one to Steve Breaston who, along [...]

The red hot (5-3) division-leading Cardinals host the troubled (2-6) 49ers Monday night, hoping to extend their lead in the division.  The last time these teams met, week 1 this season, Arizona won 23-13 on Kurt Warner’s 197-yd, 1 TD performance while Edgerrin James rushed for 100 yds.  But the Cardinals’ offense has exploded since week 1.  [...]

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 [...]

Cowboys (4-1) @ Cardinals (3-2) Week 6 Pre Game Report

First of all Adrian Wilson was fined $25,000 for his concussion-inducing hit on Bills’ QB Trent Edwards last weekend.  Although Wilson did not lead with his helmet, he was fined and put on notice with respect to any further hits.  Additionally, Anquan Boldin will not play again this week and is likely out indefinitely after [...]

…While Buffalo suffered its first loss.  San Francisco fell to New England as well, leaving the Cards atop the division by themselves.
Cardinals 41, Bills 17 (ouch)
Great game today!  Kurt Warner (glad I started him over Jay Cutler) added another 2 TDs and 250 yds to his impressive early-season total (and did you know that he [...]

Week 1 Pre-Game Report - Cardinals at 49ers

Posted by cardinal_chick

September 5, 2008 | 1 Comment

Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing the Cardinals on Sunday (aside from Matt Leinart’s temper tantrums) is how to defend against 49ers starting QB J.T. O’Sullivan.  Says NT Bryan Robinson, “It’s weird … but me personally?  It scares me.  You don’t know what the guy is capable of.” 
The Cardinals lost twice to San Fran last season, and [...]

The Cardinals returned to training camp following their first preseason game, a loss to New Orleans, 24-10; however, a lot of positives came from it.
THE GOOD:
WR Anquan Boldin’s hamstring is better.  He is expected to play against the Chiefs this weekend in the Cards’ 2nd preseason game.
Rookie RB Tim Hightower’s great debut - 5 carries, 23 [...]

The Buzz up Here

July 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

As the Cardinals approach their impending journey up the mountain to Flagstaff for training camp (which is all the buzz here in Flagstaff), there are 10 pressing questions (as eloquently presented by “official” Cardinals blogger Darren Urban.)
Allow me to summarize:
1.  The big QB controversy, Warner vs. Leinart (I’ll take Kurt, but Ken Whisenhunt appears to be [...]
