YUCK!

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 for [...]

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 breathing down [...]

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 is [...]

Cardinals 26, Seahawks 20
The Cardinals are a veritable lock to clinch the division…already.  Very nice.
Kurt Warner had another fab game today (32/44, 395 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT) as did Anquan Boldin (13 rec. for 186 yds), Larry Fitzgerald (10 rec. for 151 yds), and J. J. Arrington with 2 TDs.  This is Warner’s 18th consecutive [...]

Week 8 Pre Game Report - Cardinals (4-2) at Panthers (5-2)

Coming of a much-needed bye week, the Cards travel to Carolina to meet the Panthers, with Arizona atop the NFC West and Carolina tied with Tampa Bay atop the NFC South.
First of all, I am sick about hearing how wonderful Carolina’s one-two-punch running game is with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.  Granted, they are great; [...]

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 [...]

Glad it’s still preseason

The Cardinals had another unspectacular preseason outing against an AFC West team, losing to the Denver Broncos 28-14 tonight; however, Arizona’s starters did well, with the Broncos scoring 18 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. 
Kurt Warner did get the start and went 4 of 4 for 48 yds in his almost one full quarter of play.  [...]
