Do the Cardinals start out strong or come out flat?

Can Gabbert get off some accurate throws, step up in the pocket and avoid turnovers?

Can the Oline give BG time to throw?

Can the Oline make enough holes for the run game to get going so play action works?

Can the Dline get pressure on the QB and force bad decisions?

What I wonder the most is how motivated the team will be and whether so many of the players and coaches have checked out mentally and physically.

It's the time of year where the youth on the football team can provide much needed enthusiasm and energy. The young players on defense and STs have a chance to step up this week. The offense remains old...however, could they rally behind the HOF WR, stud RB and new QB?

If they can win today Cards will still be in the playoff hunt. Lose and it's officially over. Hopefully they haven't thrown in the towel.....

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is inactive today despite not being on the injury report this week.

With Matt Barkley inactive today against the Texans, Drew Stanton must've shown his knee was healthy enough to be Blaine Gabbert's backup.

Chad Williams.. much like Brandon Williams, pick looked bad at the time and hasn't gotten better at all with age.

I don't get Ellington. Dude was a beast on catches out of back field. Also how are we a 2.5 underdog? Opened at 1.5. People really betting on Houston!?! Makes no sense. Savage has been awful. Cards have a good defense. Must win game to stay in playoff race. 5-5 is right there. I see cards winning 31-13

With Ellington a healthy inactive, I wonder if D.J. Foster becomes the 3rd down RB. Perhaps, Blaine Gabbert and Foster developed a chemistry on the scout team. I wonder too if Foster will be used as a return man.

1 game under 500, and Seattle is just as much of a mess on defense. Palmer and DJ working their butts off to come back... You're seriously questioning if they've checked out? Fire and cut everyone, if that's the case!

I see a huge game from Baker too. He just looks ready to explode onto the scene, and it's all playing out perfectly for him, with his opportunity to start & shine coming today. My "player to watch" today, besides obviously Gabbert.

I saw Golden suited up during warm ups too

“Excited” (for lack of a better word) to see what Gabbert has today. Aw man I can’t believe that’s what football has become for me.

It's silly we are in week 10 and we are excited to watch our 3rd string QB...

I hope they can give him some decent protection early on. If the Texans come out putting licks on him out of the gate, I feel it could be a long game
