I see us at 7-9 to be honest, with 8-8 not being out of reach. No way we finish above .500, but I’d like to hear the opinions of others.

If they finish 8-8, that would be pretty impressive to me.

I am going on a limb and say the Cards win the next 4 games but lose to Seattle. Finish 9-7 and have a record with them receiving a 15-19 1st rd draft pick where they cannot go for a QBOTF unless they make a deal and move up.

Next game will tell us what we need to know about how this team will fare. If somehow this team can beat the Rams at home, watch out because this means Gabbert's progress is legit. Don't kid yourself, to hell with the stats, the Rams have the best defense and not the Jaguars and they have a healthy stud back and a actual functioning QB. Especially in today's mediocre NFL, these are the winning streaks which can unseemly take place when you beat an opponent worth their metal. It rubs off on a team where if you can stay close, you start finding the confidence to learn how to win. I am not saying we could go far in the playoffs, I see the Eagles wiping their shoes on our door mat but you never know. If we lose to the Rams, which is likely, then maybe we can win two more but it will be fun to watch because some of these new guys on the field are going to bring it because they want to be on a roster and you will have vets feeling the heat which is causing them to perform. You watch, if John Brown gets back on the field, that smurf will risk it all against Gargamel :newcards:

Right now they are literarily one game at a time.

What I really want to see is more of our younger players making contributions like we saw in the Jacksonville game. Gives me hope for the future.

There has been a lot of bashing Arians, including myself. Most of it is deserved also. But, you have to at least give him some credit that they haven’t quit. Football is an emotional game & it’s sometimes real easy to mail seasons in. Let’s see what happens against the Rams. They beat our butts in London. Will Arians have them ready to compete next week? I say yes.

saddest thing is,... I look at that schedule and see every game there as winnable....it all depends on what Cards team shows up.
we can beat the skins on the road and we always play well in seattle... and we have a shot in every home game... Rams are the toughest game left and its a division game...even though the hags are making a push too.
this could be another year like /..was it 2013?? when we went 10-6 and missed the playoffs?

Yeah, I heard this before.

I am going to continue to dig thank you very much.

Great win, great game, and I am rooting for more wins and more great games in the future.

This team is not making the playoffs.

vs Rams - Loss
vs Titans - Tossup could go either way
@ Redskins - Loss
vs Giants - Win
@ Seahawks - Loss

6-10 or 7-9. Titans are battling for division crown. Every game is important to them and now that the Cardinal win has pulled them even with the Jags the games become even more important.

I do not think the Cardinals beat the Rams, even on their best day.

If they do, then sure, run the table, go 10-6 and see what happens ? Why not?

......just do not think that is a possibility. This team has not been very consistent.

8-8 would be pretty damn good for this team, BTW. They have had A LOT of adversity, some self-inflicted, but many were not.

sadly...even if they run the table and end the season on a six game win streak... 10-6 likely has them watching the playoffs from home...

I’ve been optimistic for most the season so why not continue lol.
Rams: trap game with Philly going to LA the week after: W :D
Titans: a lot like Jacksonville with a worse d: W :D
Redskins: we can win, but it’ll be tough on the east coast: L :(
Giants: they quit and try for a high pick: W:D
Seahawks: we always win there: W :D

9-7 and playoffs!!!!:band:




Too far fetched? I can see 7-9 or 8-8 as a realist with losses to the rams and skins for sure

Exactly. Just shut up and get on with it, Bruce. Not buying what you're desperately trying to sell.

The Cards are in the NFC West, not the AFC West. Chargers could still win that hot mess after an 0-4 start.

If we had beaten Houston, I’d still give us an outside shot with 3 of 5 games left at home, but I’d rather Bruce shut up at this point and let the team do his talking on the field.

I mean, we’re one game removed from losing an Arians deemed “playoff game” to that wretched Texans squad.

The drubbing against the Rams is still in their minds. I don't know if they have the talent to compete but they will show up and play with heart. ...And if we can somehow get ahead early in the game the crowd will juice them up.

Have a GREAT day everyone! :)

Mark in 45 degrees Charleston. BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

This team will need to demonstrate more consistency in their level
of play before we can predict how they'll do in the next game let alone the rest of the season.
But I am told here that the team quits on Arians every week we lose?
