I mean, really, the Arizona Cardinals? One of the most inept franchises in the history of the National Football League? A division champion by default in the tattered ruins of the NFC West? The Arizona Cardinals?

"We understand it's going to be tough to win and we will have to have our A-game to do it."

Over the long history of the NFL, it has usually taken only a C-minus or D-plus game to beat the Cardinals.

They are setting themselves up for a huge fall.

I'm just hoping the team can push them over the ledge

You'll get the usual idiot Philly media reporting whatever they want based on bias and two man-on-the-street interviews, but I get the sense that Philly really is game-planning hard for this one.

It's a good sign for me. The national media can crown the Eagles NFCC champs all they want. It's been driving me insane that anyone would overlook this game.

Does the ban on advocating injury or violence cover this writer as well?

Just kidding.

I hate how arrogant Philly writers can be. I hope we stick it to them this Sunday, but I am sure they also have all their excuses ready as well. Just like the Panthers...

All I know is that if this is this bad, I don't know how fans tolerate the 2 weeks between the championship game and the Super Bowl.

Wow!!!

Fan talk doesn't mean anything.

Eagles themselves are all saying the right things...they watch film.

LOL! Good analogy.

Pretty big talk for a franchise that hasn't won a title since 1960.

And the last Cardinal's franchise Division title was what....33 years ago?

As the Rams?

History is history. Only the last 3-5 years are usually relevant - if that.

I saw Andy Reid kind of get upset when reporters were down playing the Cards. He said the film doesn't lie. After looking at the film of the Cardinals against Atlanta and Carolina he said that they looked as good as any team he'd seen all year.
