Id sit most guys next week. And im someone who hates resting guys before the playoffs. I think they are peaking and I dont wanna lose that. But Playing a division opponent 3 times in a year isnt something i wanna see in the playoffs. Plus these games tend to be very physical.



In the event Carolina should lose their division game again next week...we would gain the #1 seed by winning next week.

That opportunity is worth any risk to the players on the field.

I agree with Darkside this team is on a roll don't stop it trying to rest guys! Unless the game is totally in hand like today!

I get the argument. And most of me agrees with it. But if Carolina wins id hate to lose more players in a meaningless game against scumbag seattle.

A few games ago I agreed. Not now. You can't let this team take their foot off the pedal. They're awesome when rolling. Awesome when attacking, awesome when playing. I'd honestly give them no rest and play them all the last game. They can rest during the bye, and even that concerns me. This team used to come out flat, if anyone remembers. We've only rolled, really rolled, when we've been playing short weeks and winning and dominating and letting the snowball roll down the hill. When. It's. Slow. They. Aren't. As. Good. Let them play and attack and win every time we're on the field. Have to.


Agrees, 2 weeks is a very long time and we are playing our best right now.

I want to punch Seattle in the mouth next game. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

@kentsomers: Arians says it appears #azcardinals suffered no serious injuries. RB David Johnson is fine, wanted Ellington, Williams to get work.

Luckily, the Carolina Tampa game is an early game and the Cardinal Seahawk is a late game, so the Cardinals can rest their starters if Carolina wins.

The score shows we destroyed the Packers. It felt like we physically punished and dominated that team while watching on TV. Every injury stoppage was a Packers player on the ground or getting checked out.

The odds of us playing Green Bay in the divisional round went down a bit but if we do face them again we better expect a much better game out of them. The NFL can be a week to week league and just because you destroy a team in one week, doesn't mean that they can't turn around and give you a loss. Just ask the Panthers about that.

I believe the Panthers game could still be flexed which would take that knowledge away from us. We may need to play Seattle without knowing whether Carolina will lose or not.

Absolutely loved hearing on the postgame radio show on the drive home - "Aaron Rodgers - in his entire career - has had three fumbles returned for touchdowns. All of them by the Cardinals at UOP."

That's exactly what happened. Both the Cardinals and the Panthers games will start at the same time.

Such a great game to see live - for many reasons. Great to see your team flat out kick butt on another strong team. Great to see fans of the other team not looking too happy. Great to have your favorite player - whose autographed jersey you wear each week - sneak up behind you and ask "Who signed that jersey for you?!" LOL

Yep. David Spade was in the house too. He is practically a native. From Michigan, but he moved to Arizona when he was 4. Went to Saguaro High, SCC, and ASU.
