Ah crap, we still have to survive three more games...

[82CardsGrad]

The combined score of the past two Rams games is something like 80 - 0. Yea, they played the Raiders (who just be the 9ers) and the Skins... Make no mistake, their defense is legit. This is the 2nd toughest game we have left on the schedule. I'm just hoping Stanton comes out of this game on his feet and not in a body bag!!

The KEY part I bolded.

No dropped balls by the WRs. We have had way too many this year, and they absolutely kill drives and momentum. I think if we can run the ball, and make the most of our downfield throws, we have a great chance against StL. The defensive effort will be there with Campbell, Okafor, Rucker, etc. getting after the passer.

 

[Tyler3450]

But you'll take the win..right?

Yes but at some point our offense is going to need to score... we need it to start clicking and fast.

ESPN saying the Cards can get to 11 wins but miss the playoffs. how?

The offense made a lot of inroads form the Atlanta game to the KC game. At least yesterday they got into the red zone multiple times and sustained several drives. Yes it would have been nice to come away with more TDs than FGs however progress was made.

We'll need to come out the gate firing on D instead of sleepwalking through the first 5 min and giving up a big play.

Hopefully our stud rookie S can keep Cook in front of him this game. You take out that long 59 yd TD pass last game and he was only held to 1 catch for 25 yds.

I don't see it.
Cards hold tiebreakers over Dallas, Detroit, and Philly.
If they get to 11 wins they should be at least a 6th seed.

Okay, the Cardinals beat those two teams by a combined 21 points.
The Rams beat them by a combined 76 points.

The Cardinals defense allowed a combined 33 points to those teams.
The Rams defense allowed zero points.

Why is everyone still hoping to win the division? You are only guaranteed home field throughout the playoffs if you win the conference. Only winning the division would be a fail in my book.

 

[FArting]

Let's take care of business and win the division.

Having Seattle at home is a plus. 8-0 at home would be awesome and a for sure lock for a playoff berth. I still feel strong that we can win 2 of 3, if not all 3. Do you remember what our defense did against the Rams last time we played them?? And do you remember who came in after Palmer got hurt and put us ahead??? It's a winnable game guys. I know we have always struggled playing in St. Louis, but this is a different team. This KC win put some positive momentum our way. We lose to KC, then I can see our squad and fans fall off real quick. We can win any game. Just need positive positions on offense and hope Williams is the real deal. I am a faithful fan. I wasn't worried when we were down at half against chiefs. We have been a 2nd half team, especially the 4th qtr. We get this win against the Rams, then we will get people to open their eyes again and see that the Cards don't give in or up!

 

[nashman]

We won which is great but Stanton needs to play much better or we are likely to lose all 3 of these games! Multiple picks were dropped and we will now be facing good Ds the rest of the way! 50% completions and 1 TD isn't going to get it done we really escaped with a win thank god it was at home! If that game were on the road like Thursday nights, I fear even the Alex smith led Chiefs would have smoked us, and I think smith is awful!

 

[john h]

I hate Thursday night games period. Seattle is rolling and I'm not worried about SF at all

We need to win one of the last 4 to make the playoffs I believe.

 

[Garthshort]

To make the playoffs we only have to win one game, probably, and that would be SF. We'd have the tie breaker over Detroit, Philadelphia and Dallas.

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

Run, run, and run some more...

This will accomplish 2 important things. 1./ Keep the game relatively close because of a lot of clock being used and 2./ KEEP Stanton healthy for the Seahawks' game.

I would also add in a lot of "screens" to make their D "chase" us all over the field.

MARK IN SC

10-3 is.....AWESOME!!!
