Tell us your expert expectation: How many will Cards win in '13

[SissyBoyFloyd]

I will, at my own expense, give 2 free tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium to everyone who picks the correct number of games the Cardinals win this coming season, if the Cardinals are one of the two teams who make it to the Super Bowl. So make your picks wisely via the poll.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Another one of these? 5 wins.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

I'll have to buy a parka.

And heavy socks.

Probably boots. Hat. Thermal under ware. Flask. Something to put in the flask.

Totally worth it.

 

[gmabel830]

Given the parameters of the poll, I aimed high!

Six

It's probably safe to say you're not risking much...considering what division we're stuck in & might win 7-8 in 2014

 

[Darkside]

I say 10. Even if Palmer only plays average--and I think he'll play better than that--but even only average and we win twice as many games as last year. Fixed oline--and I mostly mean Cooper and injury returns--fixed running game, fixed quarterback. More points, with increased time of possession. Even if Palmer only plays like Palmer I expect him to start for us for 3 years while we find a franchise QB.

I voted for 8 wins which is realistic IMO.

I really don't know why everyone is down on the redbirds. We were 4-0 last year with freaking kolb. Palmer is a legit NFL qb. Our entire roster has improved except for safety position but I trust Arians and hopefully honey badger will take care of the safety position. It looks like we are going to get the dirty bird Karlos back in cardinal red. Can't wait for this season.

 

[Duckjake]

It's a new era in the desert. 11-5 with em. 11-5 without em.

 

[Totally_Red]

8 wins. That would be more attainable with DWash only out 4 games.

I think Cardinals (and SF) have an advantage with the common games against NFC South and AFC South. Cards get ATL, Houston & Indy [the 3 playoff teams] at home, as do the Niners. And Bruce Arians and Harold Goodwin should have better familiarity with the AFC South having been in that division last season.

Of course, injuries are a major determining factor and odds are the Cardinals aren't as devastated by injuries as they were last season.

 

[HotSauce]

5-6 wins

With their 1st pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson.

 

[imaCafan]

Was going to say 9, but after looking at the schedule, I am calling a 7 win season next year....

 

[RugbyMuffin]

5-6 wins

With their 1st pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville.

FTFY.

 

[Billy Bob]

Until i'm proven wrong, we're going undefeated all the way to the Superbowl.

Speaking for myself, I give this team 6 wins, and I think that is a positive thing.

Also, how did the OLBer and tight end positions improve from last year?

 

[BigRedRage]

11 with one playoff win

 

[unseenaz]

6-10, new coaching staff, stong division got even stronger. it will be a fun 6-10 to watch though, I imagine we'll see lots of improvement by the end of the season. lots of story lines to track this year.

Because we are closer to the team that finished 1-11 to the team that started 0-4.

I can't see us winning more than 2 games in our division, both of them at home. Historically bad on the road. 5 wins total.

I can see up to 10 wins if the stars align though.

 

[Sunburn]

I'll go with Arians record last year and say 11-5

 

[Fitz Rulz]

9 but I'd like to lose the tickets and Cards win more

 

[Southpaw]

Public poll please.

Brutal schedule littered with playoff team opponents.


5 wins.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Went with 6 wins. Tough schedule.

Hoping to see the team play hard and not give up. Less mistakes and improved QB play should keep us in more games.

 

[Jim Otis]

I went with 11 wins . I can see many fans have Murphy's Law/D.Wash jitters about the up coming season , and who can blame them ? It's only May , so there is time to make new plans and adjustments around D.Wash . Getting Palmer was big , but I believe getting B.A. is the main factor for our team . I have a lot of confidence that B.A. is going to place all the square pegs in the square holes , and all of the round pegs in the round holes . D.Wash aside , I like everything that has happened so far this offseason . By the 1'st of Sept . B.A. -- Palmer -- Fitz and co. -- Coop and co. -- Mendy and co. ect. will together form a dangerous offence , and those sheep in St.Louis will be the first to feel the brunt of it. My motto , It's all good until it ain't !!
