Cardinals 31, Seahawks 20
After a horrid start and a slue of booing by the hometown crowd, the Cardinals managed to pull out a win to keep them atop the NFC West.  My ex-husband has Cardinals’ season tickets and said he’s received his postseason invoice for playoff tickets already…kind of premature, don’t ya think?!
Anyway, Warner, Fitz, [...]

Cardinals 21, Carolina 34
Holy hot-and-cold-play Batman, what is up with the Cardinals?  They beat the New York Giants and the next week look horrendous vs. the Panthers.  Kurt Warner threw 5 INTs and fumbled the ball once!????  How incredibly unlike him.  And Larry Fitzgerald dropped a few passes he would normally have caught.  The defense was atrocious [...]

…the Cardinals best the formerly-undefeated-but-now-who-have-lost-2-in-a-row Giants in the Meadowlands!
Cardinals 24, Giants 17
It appears that Arizona finally found their running game despite the fumble problems both Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells continue to have.  In fact, all 3 TDs tonight were by RBs (the third was a pass by Kurt Warner to Jason Wright.  Larry Fitzgerald uncharacteristically [...]

Cardinals 27, Seahawks 3
Wow, after Matt Hasselbeck’s fabulous game last week, I was surprised that he and the Seahawks didn’t put up much of a fight against the Cardinals.  Not only was the offense on fire as usual but the defense stepped it up a notch or two as well.  Perhaps the biggest statistic was [...]

Cardinals 28, Texans 21
Sorry folks, I know this is late but I’ve had tons of “real” work to do lately.
Anyway, I was at the game and have never seen so many Houston Texan fans in one place in my life. There were more at University of Phoenix Stadium than I think I’ve ever seen at [...]

Cardinals 10, Colts 31
What happened to the defending NFC Champs last night?  The Colts were without several defensive starters yet the Cardinals were unable to capitalize on anything and were, quite simply, atrocious.
I know Kurt Warner (30/52, 1 TD, 2 INTs) is nursing a sore shoulder but he has been all season and looked great last [...]

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, [...]

Training Camp Update

So, NO, I haven’t had the chance to make it to training camp YET, but plan on attending Sunday after the Cards return from their Thursday night Super Bowl rematch in Pittsburgh. (Maybe the refs will get this one right although it really doesn’t mean anything except pride and perhaps an additional testosterone surge - [...]

Free Agency - Week One

Posted by cardinal_chick

February 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Perhaps the biggest story at the moment is that while Kurt Warner has expressed that he wants to stay in Arizona, the 2-year, $20 million alleged offer is a little lower than he would like, having expressed that he has felt underpaid in the past few years in Arizona.
J.J Arrington has signed a 4-year contract [...]

Anquan Boldin, free agency, and the coaching shortage in AZ

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 [...]
