san fran i think will give us the most trouble mainly because of home field but houston seattle and atlanta suddenly look very beatable,
the jets are sticking with the falcons at home right now,

at the least i think we could split the next 4 what do you guys think?

coming out 5 and 4 and hitting jacksonville ought to make us 6 and 4

then heck i'm feeling pretty good about things ;)

If the Cards play the 49ers tough then I like our chances, if not then we will lose 3 out of the next 4 IMWO.

The way our O is playing we don't stand a chance. If CP gets his mind right and So Well is an upgrade then we stand a chance at your 6 & 4 prediction.

I'm not sure how you see Seattle as beatable just because they lost a close one on the road.... To the Colts, no less.

You mean the same Colts that beat the Whiners at home?

i think the san fran game will be close, gore will not be the major factor that he has been with our stiff run defense,
bradley is certainly being tried by fire in the next month, hopefully against all odds we have found a diamond in the rough,

one things for sure as a lifelong fan i can honestly say that i hated watching the cards last year, and thats saying a lot considering some of the garbage teams we have fielded

but i could not wait for the 2012 season to end it was dismal nauseating and brutal,
this years team despite the sputtering offense is enjoyable to watch, and after last year thats all i really hoped for from all the coaching and front office changes,

but its nice to look forward to sunday again :)

I think Seattle is going to beat us like a pair of bongos. I like our chances against SF, the other two are vary winnable, so at best 3-1. I think we split these and go 2-2.

I just don't think the Cards match up well with either the Hawks or Niners right now, especially with our offense looking like a pee wee teams

Not trying to buzzkill. I want the Cards to beat their blue-green/tree hugging/Pikes Market smelling/Petey loving/ faces into the dirt... OK?
:D

Both Houston and Atlanta are looking weaker right now. Those two games are looking much more winnable than they seemed at the beginning of the year.

But any road division game is tough and Seattle has been very fortunate on the road this year.

Another advantage is that it's a short week and Seattle has to travel. I'm not saying the Cards will win, but it will/should definitely be a game.

The Cardinals play four of five at home starting with the Carolina game. Even though the opponents are good, this is the time to make hay IMO.

Make no mistake, this Forty-Niner game is 'personal' for Darnell Dockett and several other Cardinals who've been here awhile. Nothing would make me happier than replicating what Indianapolis did to the Niners by beating them to a pulp on their home field. I don't see it happening, but I do think it's possible.

The offense has to show some life. We have to see more Andre Roberts and less Rob Housler. The offensive line has to hold up. And the Cardinals have to get something from the ground game.

Now is the time to get the Niners when they are missing Aldon Smith, Michael Crabtree and possibly Ray McDonald.

It will be an uphill fight, but I like our chances better than the over-hyped Rams. It will come down to reducing turnovers on offense and getting turnovers on defense. Carson Palmer has to quit forcing the ball into coverage or the Niners will make him pay. If he throws another 2-3 interceptions, we have no hope IMO.

This comes pretty close to the way I see it. A loss is a loss but if we play the 49ers tight and the offense shows signs of finding itself I could see us winning 2 out of the following 3. If they knock us around and take our lunch money we'll be lucky to see .500 again after we play Seattle. Plus, we won't get lunch.

Without the offense clicking it's hard to see us winning games against the Niners and Hawks.

I think Gore could have a field day running on us with the way we have been tackling. Which is very poorly. I know the D has been playing well and keeping us in games, but we still lack basic wrap up tackling skills.

The St. Louis game is looming large right now. But maybe that was the game that turned this team around.

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Cardinals football.

Looks like Julio Jones may be out the rest of the year for Atlanta. That game is looking even more winnable.

Tony Gonzalez scares me more match-up-wise.

I think age may finally be catching up to Mr Gonzalez. I don't like our chances against SF on the road, or against Seattle anywhere.

Atlanta, I didn't see us having a chance in that game originally, but now, I think we've got a chance. 1-2 over the next 3 would be fabulous. I never saw us finishing up the 1st half of the season with a shot at 4-4.

Go Cards!!!

Th niners and seattle will be our statement games. Even if we somehow dont get the results we want from cp we will ride our special teams and defense into two straight Ws

I like our chances against Seattle better only for two reasons: 1) it's at home and we play much better at home and 2) it's a Thursday game, which historically has been less friendly to the road team.

SF will take an act of God to beat.
