The stats are against us. We better be ready to play...

[Goldfield]

The Falcons won @Chargers and @Vikes. So they can win on the road.

They won 4 out of their last 5 games. The one they lost was by 4 points on the road to the Saints.

The Falcons rush for more than twice as many yards as we do.

They won 3 of those 4 games while losing the turnover battle.

The Cards Must win the turnover battle to have a chance.

Why not include all of the stats like their pass defense sucks and they gave up over 400 yards to the Rams? Eight teams beat San Diego. I don't care who they are or who they have beat. The Cards, with the help of Whisenhunt's boneheaded Tim Hightower fueled offense were on cruise control for six weeks but they came back to life last week. We will see the same team that manhandled Buffalo and Miami and beat Dallas. No one is giving AZ a chance and I'm sure their whole team has the same attitude and if they do they will get a beat down.

Cardinals 38
Falcons 24

Watch Warner shine baby! We shall succeed!

There are some players who've waited their whole professional lives to get here.

That and I think Whis was up to something and intended to sit Edge and hack him off for the playoffs.

Anyhow I'm oddly very calm now about this game, we'll see.

On the contary Beerz...

-The much maligned Cardinals run defense gives up less than 4.0 YPC at home. Micheal Turner only rushed for 3.9 YPC on the road this year.

-The Cardinals score over 30 PPG at home. The Falcons have never scored 30 PPG on the road this season.

-Matt Ryan has thrown more interceptions than TD's in the last three games. The Cardinals have registered 30 turnovers this year.

-The Cardinals are 6-2 at home this year and 12-4 overall at home under coach Whiz. The Falcons are 4-4 on the road this year.

-The Cardinals have statistically the 2nd best passing attack in the NFL (but we all know that it's the best in the NFL). The Falcons pass defense ranked 21st in the NFL this year.

Any word on whether or not we're going to close the roof? So far, Warner for some reason or another is a much better quarterback in a closed roof situation. I think the only losses we've had at home were both when the roof was open.

*Granted this is probably more a coincidence, but Warner says he likes it closed, so let's close it*

Everything is against us; whether it be stats, media, haters, sometimes even our own fans.

Id just like to shove some serious crow down some people's throat!

The residents of AZ need a big kick in the ass. I agree. There is no time like now to just shut everyone up. OUR TIME IS NOW!!!!!

 

[conraddobler]

Win tomorrow, go on the road and beat Carolina and if the Eagles win two games we can shock the world.

Industrial sized vat of koolaid is recommended for the preceeding fairy tale.

Just to add ... The Falcons haven't a short week this season. Not one.

They also have to travel cross country

This should not even be something to think about. The roof better be closed. We need to maximize the home advantage.

 

[Perfectionist]

All stats start afresh today!! Go Cards!!

 

[Ronin]

quick question: didn't the cardinals secondary give up the most passing touchdowns this season?
