Cardinals 7, Patriots 47
Good thing the Cardinals already won their division - at this rate they will be 8-8 and not looking too great for the playoffs.
I’m not going to rehash this ugly mess; however, wtg Larry Fitzgerald for another 100-yd game and another TD (courtesy of Matt Leinart, who also lost 2 fumbles and [...]

Week 3 Pre Game Report - Cardinals @ Redskins

Posted by cardinal_chick

September 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment

The last meeting of these two teams, last season, resulted in a narrow margin of victory for Washington as Neil Rackers missed a 55-yd FG attempt as time expired, giving the Skins a 21-19 win.  Washington has won 8 of the last 9 meetings as well, and also leads the historic series 72-44-2.
But they haven’t [...]

Week 1 Pre-Game Report - Cardinals at 49ers

Posted by cardinal_chick

September 5, 2008 | 1 Comment

Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing the Cardinals on Sunday (aside from Matt Leinart’s temper tantrums) is how to defend against 49ers starting QB J.T. O’Sullivan.  Says NT Bryan Robinson, “It’s weird … but me personally?  It scares me.  You don’t know what the guy is capable of.” 
The Cardinals lost twice to San Fran last season, and [...]

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.  [...]

St. Pierre for President, er Starting QB

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 [...]

Cards Smoke the Raiders!!

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 [...]

The Cards had a nice showing in Kansas City this evening, easily beating the Chiefs 27-17.
Kurt Warner got the start, as expected, for about a quarter-and-a-half, going 6-of-9 for 54 yds.  Matt Leinart replaced him midway through quarter 2, going 7-for-11, 62 yds, 1 TD.  Brian St. Pierre also passed for a TD.
Other positives were RB [...]

The Cardinals returned to training camp following their first preseason game, a loss to New Orleans, 24-10; however, a lot of positives came from it.
THE GOOD:
WR Anquan Boldin’s hamstring is better.  He is expected to play against the Chiefs this weekend in the Cards’ 2nd preseason game.
Rookie RB Tim Hightower’s great debut - 5 carries, 23 [...]

Halftime notes from the Cards’ 1st preseason game

Posted by cardinal_chick

August 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Matt Leinart got the start, went 7 of 8 for 91 yds, and, again, is being hailed at “without a doubt, the team’s starter.”  Nothing like a premature decision, if you ask me.
For me anyway, the highlights of the first half were WR Steve Breaston and RB Tim Hightower.  Both are playing for starting positions: [...]
