Cardinals 31, Jaguars 17
What a fabulous showing by the Cardinals in Jacksonville!  Kurt Warner was almost perfect, throwing 24/26 for 243 yds and 2 TDs - setting an NFL completion percentage record of 92.3% (previously held by Vinny Testaverde in 1993)- before being replaced by Matt Leinart in the 4th quarter who didn’t get much of anything [...]

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’ 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 [...]

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 annoyed [...]

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 [...]
