something did happen during that bye...prior, the team started games flat, sluggish.
they appeared more motivated after the bye...played with a greater sense of urgency...
what happened? I do not know.....but they were a decent team pulling out wins prior, and a very good team after.
Heh, i'm trying to steer it away from being a zing and toward a legitimate discussion of what, if anything, changed during the bye week to transform the Cardinals into a "Legit title contender". Or on the other hand, whether the stats and my eyes were right and the Cardinals were "elite" all along despite a couple of lulls, which even "Legit title contenders" can have at some points in a long season.

man... I am just loving this. I'm reading articles/hearing us talked about on ESPN/NFL network and seemingly letting out a little happy scream every single time. i'm frothing at the mouth for the playoffs to start.
Walter Mitchell AKA Mitch's write ups is the primary reason why I lurk on ASFN. He brings insight to the Cards where I cant get it no where else. I wish Chopper would continue to make his snap count threads as well.
