Sweet - HB don't care!

I was thinking about it this morning and had a feeling this would happen. Carson vs. his old team who is the hot new team in the AFC. Storylines galore.

Ambivalent about this move... Excited to see us get recognition for another primetime game, but then we usually fall flat for these games... Am I imagining this? Can someone look up our record for PT games in the last 4-5 years?

 

[Zeno]

Hopefully they can at least use both games to make a national statement that they are contenders and not pretenders.

On a personal note--Prime time games suck to me as a fan of the team. They end entirely too late considering how early I am up M-F.

So does Cincy, so this game will naturally be a 10-3 outcome.

Andy Dalton in primetime.....

I like that, I like that a lot.

 

[Austin Zonie]

Back to back prime time games. Excited and nervous at the same time.

 

[BigRedRage]

I have tickets to this game!!!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Shane and I are switching places for this one. I will be watching it in Ny Ny

Hmmm...

NFL now has a vested interest in keeping the Cards hot until that jewel of a game. Refs will surely get the memo to cheat for us in Seattle for once.

 

[Covert Rain]

We are going to really find out what the Cards are made of. The nation is going to either tags us as pretenders or contenders after this game.

2 Sunday night games in a row and then a Thursday night home game in the second half of the season... love it!

The Cardinals in the showcase game two weeks in a row. Did you ever think you would see that?

I never thought they'd ever be the beneficiaries of a flex in which they weren't playing a division rival for the title in the last game of the season. (So basically never)

 

[Russ Smith]

NOt really worried about this it's the Rams and Vikings back to back that concern me with the Viking game on an accelerated week. At Rams, at least the vikings have to come to Arizona but that's a tough 2 games with a short week in there

No

My favorite comment on PFT:

Hey Cardinals, open the roof so Dalton knows its a night game. Guaranteed Arizona win.

 

[MrYeahBut]

I have tickets to this game!!!!

Me too.... not only that, I'm staying in Phx for the week after it so I don't have
to work on Monday!!!! Yeehaw!!

No, you're not...national games have not traditionally been great for us...

 

[Cheesebeef]

I can't remember ever seeing ANY team back to back Sunday nights. Are we the first team to ever do that since the flex was instituted?

 

[MadCardDisease]

Wow!

So what time will the game start here in AZ now?

 

[cardncubfan]

Wow!

So what time will the game start here in AZ now?

6:30pm I believe.
