excerpt:

Don't forget about us, the Arizona Cardinals said in perfect unison Sunday night, conveying the most surprising message of the NFL's Week 13 with their 30-17 dismantling of the previously well-respected Minnesota Vikings at University of Phoenix Stadium. Commanding our attention with their most complete game of the season, the Cardinals opened December with an eye-opening performance that signaled they intend to be playing well into January. Yet again.
....

In truth, Arizona played better than last year's Super Bowl Cardinals, and looks to be much better than it was last year at this time, when it was 7-5 and in the beginning stages of its late regular-season bout of mediocrity. That team got hot in the playoffs and stormed into the Super Bowl against Pittsburgh. This team looks capable of dominating whenever it plays its game.

I noticed that. But I'm sure proud of our Phoenix Cardinals.

Just reading that felt good. Fans, we have a good team; not just sometimes, not maybe, the Arizona Cardinals are a good football team. Wow, what a feeling.

What a feeling indeed...

...there was a time (and by time I mean decades), where the formula of:

- lose fumble on 2nd play from scrimmage
- give up TD on ensuing drive

meant guaranteed ugly loss.....not anymore....this team takes a punch in the mouth and just comes back swinging, f'ing beautiful......

When Boldin is 100% healthy our offense is scary, and the D is just relentless....nothing like Dockett blowing up the pocket!!

Also throw in a couple of stupid penalties that would have snow balled, but not last night. They over came even the early mental mistakes.

Yeah, those Chicago Cardinals really got it goin' this year.

I'm willing to forgive Dockett his well-developed sense of hyperbole, because his point is entirely valid.

LoL, even that's an understatement!
