There's something about this game

[40yearfan]

Ah ha!! A Section 11 drive-by posting. Once again, common sense and good manners prevail. A sorely needed diversion in the land of unbelievers.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I think we get clobbered. We always have 2 or 3 games a year where we literally have our asses handed to us. This is the game.

But the Cards will come back with a vengeance. RISE UP REDSEA!

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

Mo-ment-um...

Say what you will but players, in this case, NE, DO NOT usually play w/ great intensity in games where they're figured to win going away.

I mean, c'mon, we were underdogs last week...AT HOME!!! Didn't most of the media guru's expect us to lose?? ...And go 1-15 this year?? (1) week in and already they're wrong on both counts.

All I'm saying is if we can somehow hang close enough till the 4th, Fitz' could take over (ie; dominate) and throw in a PP21 return for a TD and....


and...WE SHOCK THE WORLD!! AGAIN!!!

GO CARDS! Mark in SC

FAN OF THE UNDEFEATED ARIZONA CARDINALS!!

 

[cardncubfan]

I'm with you Section 11. I think we surprise a lot people & win this in a close game.

 

[Brighteyes]

I love how Larry responded when Belichick called him 'perhaps the best receiver of all time.' Belichick does that to push his team -- he knows they are looking past the Cards.

Larry merely fires back with "Brady is so great." He knows what's behind the flattery.


Cards win this. Afterwards it's blamed on bad refs.

Playing NE in NE is the bain of the Cardinals existence.



Would it be nice? Of Course. ID take a V over SF moreso anyday, but itd be awesome stickin to Tom regardless.




Not to be a downer, but Im not really even concerned with this game. Im already looking forward to next week, thats how sure I am this game is already decided.

I feel that's the sentiment in NE as well. And it gives us somewhat of an advantage

similar to when Kolb came into the game on Sunday. Nothing to lose, everything to gain

LOL, of course! It would have to be.

 

[100%CardsFan]

I have a feeling that......we are gonna get embarassed, now prove me wrong Cardinals!

I think there's only one chance we even make this game close, and that's if we hit Brady early and often and consistently all game long. The one thing that gives me hope is that I think Seattle had an advantage over NE against our Blitzes. I think their Oline is better than the Patriots (Okung notwithstanding, he was horrible) and I think Wilson being able to move around saved probably 3 to 5 sacks. Brady is the opposite of mobile (but makes up for it in pre-snap reads and a quick release).

The only reason NE's oline looked competent last week was because they were 1) playing the Titans and 2) balanced on offense with their new-found running game. I honestly believe their oline may be as bad as ours (before Levi got injured I said it was worse). Their guard Dan Connolly is also out with a concussion and I expect Dockett to feast on his backup and create even more havoc than he did against Seattle.

If we're able to do that and force them to change their schemes so that even just 1 of their awesome TE's has to stay in to block (or even help chip before running his route), then that's a win for Horton and for us. If it goes even better than that, and we're hitting Brady alot and forcing him to throw a lot of short stuff, then I think we could actually win.

 

[THESMEL]

yes

the more we feed the Bean and RWill and LSH successfully the less Brady is on the field and the fresher our fdefense is- I don't remember a Patriot game in AZ, But we have several on their field!

East Coast Bias at its best- I think it is great we have replacement refs- They might only spot the Patriots 2 TD's this time! Our defense was screwed with 16 downs inside the 20 at the end of last game- Maybe We'll catch a break from the Zebras-

The Giants beat Brady by rushing 4 and dropping 7 as a base defense- after Horton's smoke is cleared pre play- I expect the same- DD-CC Dwill must play well as a unit. But need rest from our offense-

DWASH being safety/LB Hybrid compared to a DL/LB Hybrid Should be the difference- BUt Paris Lenon is in beast mode- He is thumping harder than rver- reminds me of Hayes.

That worked soooo well last week!

If you want to beat the Pats...the blueprint is there, just ask the GMen! Hit Brady in the chops over & over & throw the ball on their suspect secondary.

 

[MrYeahBut]

If we win this Sunday, I won't post again until our bye week.

If there ever was a reason for the Cards to win, this is it.

I think we are totally going to win.
Discuss. Or don't. Whichever, I still think there's something in the air here.
Damn the torpedos.

I'm ALL IN!

I said USC was going to jack stomp Stanford last night... I'm done predicting anything about anything anymore!!

Smart man. A lot depends on which team comes ready to play.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Hard to imagine a win, but, do expect us to play a hard 60 minutes. Make sure they are all headed for the ice tub at end of game.

 

[THESMEL]

WE have the talent to win- If we would just stay patient and diciplined like the Patriots are. I think it is our coaches fault- but I also think they have been correcting it- But they are not all in.

WE have more potential playmakers - we don't need to ride just one- But our offense is built around Fitz- everything leans toward getting Fitz the ball - taking away a little or a lot from other units.

Our Defense has playmakers but the play has to come naturally as the Patriots reduce our big play oppurtunities. Seize the day.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We got Dick Stockton announcing. Isn't that a good sign for us?

 

[Shane]

I don't care whose announcing..lol...tom Brady has lost one time in a reg. season game at foxboro for his whole career. We're screwed. Lol

Cardinals are sending a message to the rest of the NFC West with this game.
