Shane's Opinion - The Season Is Over

[WisconsinCard]

Not to mention two early game wins on the east coast, ok I mentioned it...

 

[BullheadCardFan]

can't wait to see us measure up against the Colts. We win that one and people are going to start taking notice of how good we just might be (so weird for me to even type that).

This right here. Huge game for us. Statement game.

This right here. Huge game for us. Statement game.

the thing I REALLY like about that game is a) it's at home and b) BA knows that team incredibly well. those are two pretty big advantages.

that being said, we're still playing one of the, if not the best QB in the game. they had to get prtessure on him early and often.

but I can't wait. that's a huge game.

And they got 10 days to prepare for us after a TNF game.

If we can manufacture pressure on Luck then we have a good chance. That's the key IMO.

We give him time and he will tear us apart.

I’ll be watching from the middle of the Caribbean Sea. I made sure the boat had a sports bar with NFL Sunday ticket. No vacation is worth missing a cards game even our 25th anniversary cruise.

Now that's a loyal fan.

Have not missed a snap since 1988, don't plan on starting now. Every snap, so I have never even thrown anything at the TV...

Right ....

 

[Duckjake]

Let's not get too excited the three wins have come against teams that are a combined 5-25. Of course in the past we'd have lost two of the three.

Next three weeks will tell us what kind of team we really have.

Yep

Winning 3 of the next 4 is almost necessity for any chance at the playoffs!

 

[Chopper0080]

I would argue that it is over because I don't believe we can beat the Seahawks, Saints or 49ers which means we are almost a lame duck playoff team. That being said, if the offense can become good, maybe we have a shot. I have stopped trying to figure out this team.


Oh yeah, almost a lock we pay Palmer 10 mil next offseason. Draft is too far away and we will have too low of a pick to for sure be in position to draft one we want.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I think there is a large territory between "season is over" and "playoffs here we come". I'm pretty sure that's where our bus will break down. Still, it's far better than I expected coming into the season or following the loss to the Rams.

[Longcolts]

Even if we don't make it to the playoffs, we only need 2 wins out of the next 6 games to be 8-8 and that's a big improvement over the last couple of years or three.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Oops.

I'm glad I was wrong!

Wish I'd be sitting in that bar with you.

Cards were 8-8 just two years ago and at one point 2011-2012 won 11 of 13 games. The last 3 years haven't all been as bad as the last 12 games of 2012. It just seems like it because those 12 games were so atrocious.

Heck it would be the 3rd time in the last 7 seasons they finished 8-8. It's their new pattern. 5-11, 8-8, 5-11, 8-8.

Rams loss is looming large right now.

Too early to get excited. Lot's of work to be done.

I know We wish that you and D were still able to go. Hope all is well with her family.

Yeah, looking it up and looking back I guess you're right Duck. Guess last year was just so bad that it seemed like forever!

From the Foxsports Power Rankings:

The last time the Cardinals started a season 6-4, they were the Phoenix Cardinals in 1988.

Made me do a double-take, but now I assume he meant that exact record over 10 games because we were 7-3 in 2008 and 2009.

Don't you like the way the media will use information in a certain context to always reinforce a team as bad even if they have to reach for it after our Superbowl visit and playoff entry had left a bad taste in their mouth lol

 

[freebyrd]

i said we'd either be 7 and 9 or 8 and 8 and had the first 5 or 6 games called perfectly
looking at our schedule and realizing that our offense is starting to gel and the defense is awesome and our coaching staff is amazing with the knowledge they bring and the way that they adjust on the fly in games, taking all that into consideration i honestly think that the only game we might not have a chance in is seattle

and thats only because its an away game, other than that i can see us winning every other game
we are peaking at the right time
these next two games will be a litmus test for us and i see us winning them both
isn't it awesome being able to watch meaningful games in november?
this time last year our record was exactly reversed at 4 and 6
what an awful time that was,
we are damn lucky to have assembled this staff and talent together like we have
it says a lot about the direction we are headed and the GM gets a big thank you from me along with MR "B"

GO CARDS!!
