    Cards Vikings Game Thread

    I've always liked Jake. In his early years, he played all-out. Down 21-0, he'd never give up. I like Matt BETTER. He plays all-out and he makes better choices. That last INT? In the same situation, any QB with heart tries for it.

    Have the Bidwills been trying?

    There's been alot of Bidwill hate on this forum. In this town, in this state, in the Arizona Republic for that matter. I get some of it but most of what en fuego said was true. I think the Bidwells care and I think they're trying. They're not very good at it yet but I think they're getting...

    Leinart is not our QBOF

    When the draft rolled around, I didn't want the Cardinals to take Leinart with their pick. I'd seen a few USC games and I wasn't nearly as impressed with him as...the rest of the world. Besides, I liked Warner and thought -- if we could just build an O line -- he could take us to the play-offs...

    The Detroit News says....

    From today's Detroit News: It was only fitting that Matt Leinart won his first NFL game against the Lions. After all, the Lions had a chance to draft Leinart, a former USC star quarterback, with the 10th overall pick in the last NFL draft. Instead, they opted for linebacker Ernie Sims...

    PFW - Pete Carroll to the Cards?

    You don't have a problem. Your wife and friends have a problem. Look, my father-in-law has rooted for the Chicago Cubs for...um, eternity. Their games sell out, their fans suffer through losing season after season, and nobody says that Cub fans are idiots for enduring another losing year...

    Opinions of Edge (Week 7)

    Following the Chicago game, I was very down on Edge. It didn't help that he coughed up the ball and that I was as depressed as I've ever been after a game. Having said that, I'm not impressed with our high-dollar running back. Yeah, I know, we've had no running game for the last two years. But...

    Conservative offense

    EVERYBODY in the stadium knew that James would be given the ball on 3rd and 1. I told my wife before the ball was snapped. Told her that we'd try to run it, everybody knew we'd try to run it, they'd cork the middle and we wouldn't get a first. Also told her that ANY other play would have...

    Good Morning...

    Thanks, LittleDavis, for a dose of optimism. I woke up at 3 this morning, not nearly so upbeat; still ticked that the Cards collapsed at the end of another game. If this were a 1940's movie, you'd think the team was in the mob's pocket -- fumbling and stumbling and giving away games at the...

    Chicago Tribune article worth reading

    I agree with Arizona's Finest (although, y'know, I don't think that's his real name). There's alot I like about Green -- but it's his way or the highway and he's cut some players we've needed because of that particular personality disorder. Worse, on game day, penalties erupt, he manages the...

    Do you guys regret dumping Jake Plummer?

    There was no "dump Plummer" atmosphere here. The Cards offered to re-sign him but at millions less than Denver put on the table. The difference in the offers: Denver saw the possibilities, Arizona saw the flaws. Both teams made the wrong offer (AZ offered way too little, CO offered way too...

    Denny is right to start Warner Sunday

    Absolutely right: Warner should start. I'm only surprised that Green realized it. When he gets angry, someone usually gets canned...and usually without any consideration of whether the team suffers from it.

    Hello from St Louie

    Thanks for stoppin' by, RMFN. I wouldn't give up on Bulger; I think he's still got the stuff. I'm just hoping that he doesn't show it THIS week....

    Cardinals coach hopes home field revs up 'inept' offense

    I agree. It was a cheap move to put down Warner. I'm not saying that the QB did a great job...he didn't look good in Seattle, still holding the ball too long, and then there were the fumbles -- but he gutted it out. Green has always opened up publicly when the classier move is to speak...

    Cards v Hawks predictions!

    Because we beat a decent 49ers team...yeah, I said 'decent', not awful, not cellar-dweller, not bad...and since most of the world still thinks of the 49ers as awful, cellar-dweller and bad and didn't watch the game...I think the Cardinals are being underestimated in victory. The Seahawks were...

    After Further Review

    I agree with your comments on Rolle. Because of his draft position, alot of us want him to dazzle from Game One. I think he's got solid talent and will only get better. And I loved watching the Edge run. Yeah, he didn't get a hundred yards -- but put Shipp or Arrington in his place, I don't...

    What is your MINIMUM expectation...

    Absolutely with you, Shark. I think the Cards can win this game if things fall their way; I think they can lose it if things don't. The SeaHags didn't dazzle last week and I think too many of the pundits have decided they've won our division already...I just hope Seattle thinks that, too. If the...

    With the 8th pick in the 2005 NFL draft

    Don't give up on Rolle just yet. From my viewpoint, this is pretty much his rookie year -- and I think he's going to be a good player if given time. And I'll care about Merriman when I see him wearing Cardinal red.

    Cards 49ers Game Thread!

    And what about the penalties? Penalty after penalty and it seemed like every flag was thrown because of a Cardinal infraction. It looked like we had the better team and should have put this away before half; instead, the 49ers were in the thing until the final second. Penalties were a killer...

    Cutler and Leinart

    Cutler looked great last night. He threw deep and on target. Still, he fumbled and was picked. Leinart looked smooth and pro-ready for the most part. He didn't display a cannon arm, isn't known for one, really, but I'd have loved to see a deep ball or two from him, anyway. For reassurance, I...

    Time to dust off the resume Navarre.

    We all know that Navarre remains as the 3rd string QB. We also all know that we're in big trouble if the Cards get down to their 3rd stringer. Next year, we'll find his replacement.

    Matt Leinart does not look like a rookie

    From what I've read, Warner could have walked away from Arizona and easily signed with another team. He stayed with the Cards for a variety of reasons -- he liked it here, wanted stability, and so on -- but one reason was that he was promised the starting QB job. He'd earned it. If that's...

    Leinart VS Cutler - Poll

    It's not exactly apples-to-apples here: Denver has the better o. line, Cards have the better receivers. I've been impressed by Leinart's scrambling...and surprised by it, too. Funny how nobody mentioned Vince Young -- the highest drafted qb -- until Duckjake threw him into the mix. Can we add...

    Call me crazy but...

    I'm amazed that this year's version of Arrington is so much better than what we saw of last year's rookie. But, without the arrival of Edge, I don't know if we see Arrington at this level. My theory is this (and maybe you'll call me crazy, too): Last year, Arrington came in as the Cardinal's...
