If someone said before the season the Cardinals would be 4-1 after 5 games...

I do not.

But if I were to just speculate using the knowledge ive accumulated over the past 5 weeks, I am worried.

The Oline situation is a difficult one because its not like a guys out. Like Dockett last week. When in, the entire Dline performs differently. With our Oline, this line thats given up 17 sakcs in 2 weeks, is our line. Its not going anywhere. How different can it be in 10 days? The guys we are playing against are schemeing too.


I dont feel good ATM about the rest of this season. Next Sunday will be a big indication of the next 11 games.

I share your concern, but - like you - I can only wait and see.

It was the suspected achilles heal going into the season, and now proving so.

We have lost our starting QB, starting LT, starting RB, 3rd down RB. For awhile last night our top 3 RB's were all out. Dockett out, Wilson has missed a game etc.

This early to have had that many major injuries and still be 4-1 is impressive.

When you look at Miami and Seattle and how good those 2 teams are playing- combined with wins at Patriots and vs. Eagles- the Cardinals are truly a legit 4-1.

Bring on the Bills!

I believe this, the Cardinals are not a bad team.

Stout defense, offense with some noises under the hood but can produce some points, it's just an above average NFL team IMO.

I think the coaching lacks a ton and I think there's more to be gotten out of this team than the coaching staff gets out of it but I don't see less than 9 wins barring some ridiculous turn of events.

I think having just one healthy RB and Levi and i'd be more optimistic.

The problem on the OL isn't going to get fixed anytime soon there's no solution out there to try.

Even changing OL coaches midseason seems like a bad idea, should have done that before.

If Kolb can just start to make plays when they're there we're ok, if he can't he'll eventually get hurt and Skelton will take over. The OL is what it is so if we can't get ahead and rely on the defense to hold leads, whoever we have at QB is going to get killed.

Do 17 sacks in just two games qualify as a ridiculous turn of events?

The offense is averaging 2.7 yards per rush through 5 games.

What is it with Arizona and running the football. 3.2 ypa in both 2005 and 2006. Dead last in rushing attempts 2005,2008,2009,2010 and now this.
