Cardinals…Birds of Prey?

Cardinals 30, Falcons 24
What a game!  I have to say that I didn’t think Arizona would be able to contain Michael Turner, but they held him to a mere 42 rushing yards.  So let me be the first to apologize for doubting the defense and the heart of the team.  Granted, after wrapping up the [...]

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 [...]

On Sunday, the Cardinals travel to New England to meet the (9-5) Patriots who are struggling for a playoff spot in the very tight AFC East.  Currently, the Pats, the Jets, and the Dolphins are all tied atop the division. While Arizona has already clinched the NFC West, they are looking to improve their seeding, but [...]

Cardinals 14, Vikings, 35
I’m sure getting behind 21-0 in the first quarter sealed the fate for the Cardinals today.  Against a decent Minnesota rush defense, they were even more dependant upon throwing the ball, which was subpar.  Unfortunately, Kurt Warner was banged up and very off today, and Larry Fitzgerald was nowhere to be found [...]

Week 15 Pre Game Report - Vikings (8-5) at Cardinals (8-5)

The Cardinals, fresh off their division-clinching victory against the Rams last week host the playoff-hopeful Vikings on Sunday.
Minnesota has historically had a decent run defense, which shouldn’t be a problem for the Cardinals’ offense and the “Warner Machine” (name courtesy of nfl.com).  The offense has put up 28.6 points per game this season, and Kurt Warner [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Disappointment, thy name is Cardinals

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 [...]
