I read through the HB injury thread and there's a lot of concern about Bettcher calling plays, the defense in general, and how we'll have to outscore teams to win.
Losing Mathieu is a blow, but let's give the DC and the defense overall some credit. I saw on ESPN yesterday where over the last 5 weeks, the Cards are #1 or #2 in about every major defensive category, including first in PPG at 13.3. And, it's not like they have been playing the weaklings of the league either.
To me, the Cards are still the best team in the NFC. Losing Mathieu will not change that and Bettcher has been doing a fine job of late, especially as a 1st year DC.
