I'm kind of surprised at how many 1st place finishes were projected for us.

Ehhh....except for Mark Schlereth, everyone on the ESPN staff took it personally that the Cards made it to the Superbowl. I try not to watch NFL analysis on that channel anymore. If I ever see Trey Wingo in a dark alley.....
The only ESPN beat writer who ate crow is Jeff Chadiha. Every playoff game, he said we had a ghost's chance in hell winning. After eating the extra helping of crow he deserved last season, he did a double take and is now pimping the Cards as a surprise team (even though we're only supposed to win 9 games again this season according to him). I really like Pat Yasinskas on this article, who stated that last season was "no fluke." Thank you Pat.

He expects the 49ers to win the division, and Seattle to be in 2nd. Does he really expect Seattle and the 49ers to win more than 7 games?

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
I stress the SHAM in Whickersham! What "Breaks" is that douche talking about?
I would like to go back in time to when SEA won the division when SF, AZ, and STL were all double digit losers and see if they had the same type of remarks about a 'weak' division.
Somehow I doubt they said anything but that the Hawks were a powerhouse...

Why do they always point out that the Cardinals went 9-7 in a weak division? What does the division have to do with anything when they went 6-0?

Air Raid Warning!
I really hope the Cardinals are 2-0 when Cris Collingsworth and NBC come to town for the Indianapolis game. I'd like to see the prettiest Cardinal cheerleader bring out a big cake with 'worst playoff team ever' written on and make that weasel eat every word.
(And it wouldn't be angelfood.)
IMO the Niners are the biggest threat for the division,...Singletary had them playing well last season, they could be dangerous, at the very least much improved over last season.

If it's a weak division, it's because we made it look weak.......we made each team lose twice.
I wonder if Holmes had missed that "catch" and we won the Super Bowl, would they still talk about us like this?

Because being 6-0 against our division meant we were 3-7 outside of said weak division.
Basically, we beat up on the crappy teams but can't hang with the big boys; which was certainly the case last year until the playoffs rolled around.
Outside the division we beat:
Miami (Home)
Buffalo (Home)
Dallas (Home)
We lost to:
Washington
New York Jets
Carolina
New York Giants (Home)
Philadelphia
Minnesota (Home)
New England
In the regular season last year, we lost to more teams than we beat.
yeah, but.... carolina and philly surely paid for it in the end
Also don't forget Miami had a great season, Buffalo had a first place record before we beat them then they collapsed, and the same can be said for Dallas as well.
When this team wants to play, they can hang with anybody.

That guy is an idiot. He's got the Cowboys winning the NFC East and going to the Superbowl. He has the Bengals and Raiders finishing 2nd, and the Titans last.
He's just going out on some radical limbs to separate himself from all of the other hacks making basically the same picks. It will make him look good if weird flukes happen.

Miami didn't learn to win until we kicked the snot out of them.
Buffalo was good enough to beat Seattle, St. Louis, Oakland, and Jacksonville until AW put Trent Edwards on his back.
Dallas was really the only win to write home about.
Don't mean to be Debbie Downer, just pointing out why critics are saying what they are saying.
Which is why Buffalo collapsed after we beat them.
To take the other side of the argument: The Cards were 7-4 with a 4 game lead with only 5 to play before losing to the Eagles, and had clinched the division title before playing the Patriots, and Vikings.
Then once games began to matter again they went 4-1 beating 3 of the top teams in the NFC in succession.
Unfortunately the critics don't see that.

and they always seem to forget that the Cards went 3-0 in the freakin playoffs against the best teams in the NFC.
12-7 against the NFC!

Am I the only one who gets bothered by Jeremy Green's hands when he talks. He is constantly moving and waving them around. I noticed that they cut them off in the video on this link, but you would think that someone would tell him to quit moving them around so much. I have never seen anyone do that as bad as he does.
