Reality: Cardinals host Seahawks in battle for 1st place!

[AZCardsWin]

Fellow Cards fans,
I imagine everyone is a little down about how yesterdays game ended but honestly if someone told me before the season that the Cardinals (with retirements, trades, QB questions, WR injuries, etc.) would be entering Week 10 with a battle for 1st place on the line vs Seattle- i wouldn't of believed it. Well here we are!

Now the real fun begins. With " 5 " of the last 8 games to be played at home, the Cardinals have a great shot of winning the NFC West and defying everyones preseason predictions by going to the playoffs once again.

This is an opTIMistic post to cheer us up and get the "12th man" ready for Sundays big game!

Go Cardinals!

I agree...But this game is HHUUUGEEE.... Win it and we have a great shot to win the division. Lose it and we are officially done.

If we play like we did against the Vikings we should win though. I doubt the Seahawks have that kinda of firepower and comeback skills.

And right after and during yesterdays game...It was easy to go to the dark side.....But in all reality the game means not much if we win next week. I just dont see the Seahakws winning many more games with their schedule and the Rams have to come to our house and Seattles and San Francisco.

I mean I was so mad and I think Coach Whiz is an idiot...But win Sunday and it will all be okay.

If Hasselbeck can return, we've got our work cut out for us.

If not, we've got a better-than-even shot at taking these guys out.

You know what is really scary and dumb in our case. The Seahawks have been just blown off the field. As a Cardinal fan and I assume most would agree...We would almost rather have them coming in with 4 straight wins....(same record of course) Because this sets us up for the typical...We let a bad team that hasnt done squat all season come in to our house and 4 players will have career days.

You know Favre threw for more yards then any of our QB's have in 7 of our 8 games...Just in the the last 14 minutes of the game!!!

They were saying Hasselbeck could have played against the Giants. And that maybe Carroll was just trying some thing new. I see Hasselbeck starting on Sunday. I am not worried about their QB play either way though.

Combine Seattle's decimated OL with the Giants' defense and propensity to destroy quarterbacks this season, it should have been an easy choice to save Hasselbeck to play another week and let the new guy take one for the team.

A terrible offense that is near the bottom in probably nearly every category & a suspect defense that still can't close games will not win the NFC Worst!!!

The Cardinals have beaten the Superbowl Champion Saints and should of beaten the runner-up Vikings last week. This team can play- and beat- any team in the NFL (especially at home).

The road to the 2010 NFC Playoffs starts Sunday, post if you are feeling me!!!

Go Cardinals!

Well if the Rams win then we wont be in first. The Rams will at 5-4. If we win we will be 4-5. So lets go Cardinals and just beat the snot out of the Seahawks. Lets hope the Rams loose.

When you look at all four teams in our division and where each of us stacks up record-wise and talent-wise, it seems to all come down to "mind set."

Each team has looked decent at times and really bad at times. The Cards are one game behind, but (even with Anderson - & his good points & bad points) may still have the most talent and most depth of the four. Which, to me makes all four teams pretty much dead-even.

What will separate the four by season's end will be: Who makes the fewest mistakes? Who hangs in there til the final whistle? Who's mentally toughest - coming from behind, protecting a lead or overcoming adversity?

Those sorts of things.

These are the exact things that have led the Cards to 3-5 with 3 straight losses. The guys simply need to step up and play like they claimed they would before the season started.

Stop moping and start tackling!!!!

Tim, I am feeling ya!

I will be breaking out my early Christmas gift (from my daughter); a authentic AW black jersey; I expect AW to have two picks and two sacks in this game in acknowledgment.

GO BIG RED!

So lemme get this straight....I need to root for the 49ers to win this weekend?

I don't have a good feeling about this...

Please, enough with the 12th man stuff. That's for losers.

It's BIRDGANG!!

Hey aren't the Rams 4-4...??? How could we battling for 1st place?

You missed the fine print.

*If the 49ers beat the Rams and the Cards beat the Seahawks, then there will be a three way tie for first place at 4-5.

Of course, we could also be tied for last place if we lose and the 49ers win.
