So we start 2-0 and that's great but this could easily be the other way around. Man we caught some breaks today Victor Cruz just forgot how to catch the ball all of a sudden and Jennings just losses it all by himself.

Today I seen the same things as the SD game no pressure at all on the QB. Listen I don't care who you are this is the NFL if you give a guy all day he going to find someone. Even when we blitz no one is getting home. Man that Denver game had me losing sleep. We got San Fran and Denver up next I would be more than happy with 1-1 there.

So now that you've seen the team what are your projections for the season. If we go 8-8 give BA coach of the year again

This off season pass rushing and offensive line help are a must

Haven't played nearly out best FB. Despite woes, D only gave up 14.

Plus, Palmer didn't even play

Most games are close. Either you make mistakes and give the game away, or you force the other guys to. We were the other guys for decades.

Well we're good against the run. :)

The offense is sometimes good. :)

The pass defense does suck though largely due to almost no pass rush. :(

A win is a win, especially when that win is on the road in New York. :)

Protection was an issue today, other than that I thought we played well enough to beat the midgets on the road in an early game. Special teams flip flopped in a matter of seconds.

Our Oline needs to improve was the one thing that stood out to me today. But other than that I am extremely happy with the win.

GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We used to lose this type of game. Finding a way to win on the road with your starting QB out is amazing no matter who you're playing. How many teams do you really believe would beat the Giants in New York with their starting QB out?

We aren't elite. We have obvious weaknesses, but we're definitely good. The next 2 games will go a long way in telling just how good we are. If we can even go 1-1 against SF/Den I think that proves we're a contender.

Massie continues to worry me. And without a pass rush, we get picked apart on crossing routes--but we still held Rivers and Manning out of the end zone for the most part, and that's really all that matters.

The bottom line is this team is resilient and believes. They trust each other. They can win in different ways and the offense has weapons and they haven't played their best ball by far. They gutted it out and came back in the 4th on Monday and then travel to the east coast morning road game without their starting QB and win. Previous Cardinal teams didn't do that.

I still believe.

I'm sure Giants fans don't feel like they should count, but turnovers count. If one team protects the ball and the other team doesn't, you can be almost one hundred percent sure which team will win.

Our 2 point conversions severely suck too. Might bite us in the booboo if we keep that up. Take the point unless we are desperate, because we are pathetic so far.

We're 2-0... And that's "good" enough for me with all the injuries right now.

Cambell had 10 solo tackles, that is flat out badassery. Don't know if we're good but he is.

we were balanced - if we stay balanced we can compete with anyone, Ellington excelled at his proper role, Our 2ndary looked weak by their own standard, Eli had a great game through the 3rd 1/4.

Yes we are good and have less glaring weakness than I believed, Need pass rush to help the 2ndary. need balanced play calling to help pass and run game- but so does everybody else.

The teams that pass the most - lose the most - a large majority of games.
