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.  [...]

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 [...]

…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 [...]

Cardinals 17, Redskins 24
As is usually the case, the game boiled down to turnovers.  While Washington took the ball away twice - and scored 10 points as a result - the Cardinals D failed to manage a single one.
The officiating was suspect, but lately, what else is new?  On a 4th-and-1 in the 1st quarter, [...]

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 [...]

Ken Whisenhunt has named Kurt Warner the starting QB over Matt Leinart.  Says Whisenhunt, “you want to win now and who’s going to give us that best chance to win now.”

Leinart, obviously, was upset, and Whisenhunt said he would have been disappointed otherwise. 
Leinart, obviously, wasn’t available for comment on Saturday.
Apparently Leinart has a temper, which [...]

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.  [...]

So, Kurt Warner is getting the start vs. Denver on 8/29, the Cardinals’ final preseason game (and my birthday!!)  Apparently, we all (and this includes NFL.com) believed that Ken Whisenhunt had, in fact, named Warner the starting QB for the season over Matt Leinart, following Leinart’s abysmal play vs. the Raiders last week.  But we were [...]

It appears that, despite a 24-0 victory for Arizona, Matt Leinart’s starting job is in danger.  4-12 for 24 yds and 3 interceptions is definitely not a stellar performance.  While Ken Whisenhunt claims that after watching the tapes, it wasn’t all Leinart’s fault, Kurt Warner is waiting in the wings to take over the starting job again [...]
