Power Rankings 2014

[Darkside]

3K is a RIDICULOUS amount of cheddar... but I'd pay it to possibly to see the unthinkable... a Cardinals Super Bowl win... AT HOME? Would be a moment to cherish forever.

what would suck royally is to pay that much and see them get their asses beat.

If we somehow get there, it's a moment that'll never be re-lived. It'll never happen again.

Crisper57's National Power Rankings After Week 11

1. Patriots: Tom Brady (slobber, slobber). Gronk (goo-goo, ga-ga)

2. Packers:Sure, the Cardinals own victories over the other 7-2 teams (Cowboys, Lions, Eagles). But you know who they haven't beaten? The Packers. That makes them my NFC #1 seed favorites right now.

3. Cardinals:The wheels fall off in Seattle this week. Book it. Stanton will throw three picks, and with an inability to control the clock with the run, Russell Wilson will have a lot to time to run all over the field.

4. Broncos:It pains me to say it, but when you lose to the Rams, you have to fall in the rankings.

5. Cowboys:Officially won their BYE weeks. All the other NFCE teams lost while America's Team was idle.

6. Chiefs:They dominated the Seahawks because they could run on them. This is a team built for the postseason outdoors.

7. Lions:Still a solid team, their performance in AZ notwithstanding. Lots of lessons learned out west. Let's see how they adjust going forward.

8. Steelers: Not a pretty win, but it was still a win nonetheless.

9. Niners:That defense is starting to get rolling now.

10. Eagles: Awful, awful defense in that loss. But, I think this was an anomaly. The Eagles just ran into the Green Bay buzz saw. No shame in that.

Not surprised to see this about us! Wonder what gets said when that doesn't happen and we find a way to win??

I can see maybe not top 2, but 14??? What an idiot

I'm guessing it is a joke.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

#14 is way too low even if you account for Cardinals winning close games, using our backup QB and all the injuries.

This guy can't be serious

 

[Cardiac]

I get that those on the outside would down grade the Cards because of all the injuries and then the "killer" blow being Palmer going down.

BA can use this as motivation but I doubt he needs to. Bowles had the D playing at a crazy good level so Stanton just needs to keep improving a bit each week and stop the short spike on picks and the "experts" will learn that this team is very special.

Cowherd said on the radio today that if you look at the teams most likely to make the playoffs (15 that still in the hunt) they all have good to great QB's. It is a QB driven league so I get why he didn't list the Cards and why "experts" have dropped us in their power polls.

Crisper57's National Power Rankings After Week 12

1. Patriots: Just look at what they are doing when they face division leaders. Gronk is unstoppable.

2. Packers: Rodgers is the MVP. Just look at what they are doing when they face good teams, like the vaunted Vikings, on the road.

3. Broncos: They nearly lost their second game in a row at home this week. But they look to be getting healthy at the right time.

4. Cardinals: Drew Stanton is not the answer. Teams will load up the box and dare this pitiful passing attack to beat them. And it's not like they can run on anyone. I expect a quick slide now that they've been exposed. They'll drop out of contention by Christmas.

5. Dallas: Tough division game against a rival. They really gutted this one out.

6. Seahawks: This looks like a team poised to go on a run.

7. Niners: This looks like a team poised to go on a run.

8. Eagles: Can this defense travel? That is my only non-Mark Sanchez concern with this team.

9. Bengals: Just like they rest of the NFC North, they are benefitting from playing the two worst divisions in the annual schedule rotation. Wait, I mean, "The AFC North is by far the best division in football."

10. Steelers: The AFC North is by far the best division in football!

I think that is a fair assessment. Although Dallas might be better (now with Romo) and if we don't split with Seattle I don't think you can say we are better. In that case we drop to #6.
