I'd say it's likely that the team wins two more games this season but a sure thing? No way.

And how that number would somehow translate to things getting better I have no idea. Do you think what's happening on the field is related to some kind of all time wins # by a Cardinal HC curse? That would certainly be a new one.

The only way things will get better and I'm talking 2-3 years down the line is by parting ways with the entire Geritol gang after the season.

My guess is that the Cardinals will win one more game and then BA will get fired at the end of the season tied with Whiz for number of wins. Ironically both coaches will be done in by their loyalty to assistant coaches.

Currently Whiz at 45. BA is at 44. Seems a sure thing that he will get it this season. I have quietly held a belief that once he gets over that hump things will get better.

Probably get 45 against sf. Maybe 46 against the jags?

Why would things get magically better because he reached 45??

I think its a shoe in that BA retires with the most wins for us. He has been our best coach since Don Coryell. I hope he stays for a while. I don't think everybody realizes just how bad the head coaches have been for this team over the years. If BA would would bring in a few new assistant coaches I think things can get back on track.

I agree with that. But BA aint going to replace any of his guys unless they get hired away. That is the only reason I advocate firing him. Football is a business,...the entertainment business...and the only loyalty a HC should have is to the organization and the fans(audience)

That's why Steve Keim needs to put on his big boy pants and do it for him.

I could easily see a 7-9 game losing streak with only the Giants game interrupting the streak.

This times 10k. Arians is a great coach but what he has left himself with assistants is severely lacking. Let Keim be the 'bad guy', the proverbial middle man for Michael Bidwill. You can preach loyalty all you want, but passion will win in the end... he might be pis$ed about the firings, but he will keep coaching if he still has the desire and maybe he can with some new faces

2 more home wins and 1 more road win is best case scenario for this team.

In the new mediocre NFL, that is hardly the case. I think they are due four more wins one way or another but would not be shocked if they could pull off six more because the teams in the league are sporadic and there is no legit powerhouse in the NFC in my opinion

BA doesn't have to replace or fire anyone. His boss can step in and do it at any given point. Whenever I hear that quote from BA it almost sounds to me like a cry for help. "Come on Steve help me...help me... fire these dudes".

I'd agree if this were any other franchise besides the Cards or Browns. But, because they're the Cards I took a couple of wins away. :)
